Family and Bridal Party

We are so happy to have our brothers and close friends stand beside us and we say our vows. 

Jon and Colleen Caulkett- Meghan's Parents who live in Lake Tahoe, California. They could not be more thrilled to have Kevin officially join the family, and frequently say they couldn't have hand-picked a better partner for Meghan.

Jane and Mike Downs- Kevin's Parents, who live in Houston, Texas. They have accepted Meghan into their family with open arms from day 1, from Christmas celebrations to sailing to dinners at the house.

Allen Gaible - Groomsman- Kevin and Allen had just about every class together from fifth grade onward.  Favorite activities together included finding the absolute best worst movies.

Jason Downs - Groomsman- Jason is Kevin's older brother who has spent the past four years teaching in China, although fingers crossed he will be moving back stateside soon!

Conor Caulkett - Groomsman- Meghan's older brother who lives in San Diego. Conor taught her how to ski, score soccer goals, and make the perfect guacamole. 

Eric Wong- Groomsman- Eric and Kevin were roommates in college at the Cleveland Institute of Music, where Eric has come full circle and now teaches.  They joke about their first quintet together, which was a complete disaster.

Kayla Burggraf - Maid of Honor- Meghan and Kayla went to Rice University together where the two played flute and harp duets together. They have stayed close despite moving to different cities, and if they are ever on the phone when the airplane doors close, there is a 99% chance it is a call to the other. 

Mel Riordan- Bridesmaid- Mel and Meghan met in Houston, and she is the closest thing Meghan has to a sister, from spending holidays together to listing each other as emergency contacts. 

Nina Bishop Nunn - Bridesmaid- One of Meghan's best friends from Boston, and the absolute best person to drink margaritas with in Mexico. 

Bridget Duval- Bridesmaid- Meghan and Bridget became fast friends during college at Boston University, and were roommates when they studied abroad in London. Bridget is incredibly fun and kind, as well as an amazing international travel partner.

Caley Thielemann- Flower girl- Kevin's niece who will most likely be smiling the biggest smile you've ever seen while coming down the aisle.

Quinn Carrington- Ring Bearer- The adorable toddler of Houston music friends Katie and Matt. Meghan and Kevin have watched him grow up, and cannot wait for his first sentence to be "I love you Auntie Meghan and Uncle Kevin!" Until then, he is amazing at blowing kisses to you, which is essentially the same thing, right?

Andrew Staupe- Officiant- Andrew is one of the few friends that Meghan and Kevin both knew separately. He was instrumental in connecting them when they began to date by inviting both for beers at Hay Merchant and Little Woodrow's. We are so happy to have someone who knows us so well officiate our wedding.
