Wedding PARTY!!!

  • Serena Joseph

    Co-Maid of Honour

    Probably the favourite sister of the bride, definitely the favourite sister of the groom. I live in Texas (yeehaw!) and I enjoy thinking of ways to torture my sister, and crafting little baby clothes to be used hopefully soon 👀

  • Lianna Joseph

    Co-Maid of Honour

    Password child, beloved youngest of the family. Upcoming sophomore at Notre Dame, heir to the family fortune and keeper of the family secrets.

  • Nicholas Thums

    Best Man, Brother of the Groom

    Hi, this is Nicholas, Justin's younger brother and the IT support for the Thums family. Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in? That should work. Anyways, I currently study at UW-Green Bay for Information Technology. In my free time, I collect records, play video games, and watch the WAN Show.

The Bridesmaids

  • Olivia Cortopassi

    Olivia is a stereotypical ND alum: originally hailing from the suburbs of Chicago, she now lives in the city with a job in consulting. In her free time, she can be found reading and watching anything science fiction, going on walks around Lincoln Park, and milking her New York Times Cooking subscription for all it’s worth.

  • Naya Tadavarthy

    Naya and Isabel have been friends since leaving Domerfest early together first week of freshman year at Notre Dame, but Naya certainly will not be skipping out of the reception before the party’s over and the dance floor is empty. Originally from St. Paul, Minnesota, she is Izzy’s current roommate in Chicago, where she is earning her MFA in costume design at Northwestern University.

  • (Erin) Swope

    Erin is a post-college friend of Izzy’s (they could have been college friends but Izzy did not realize that they were on a semester long group project together). Other recent credits for Justin and Izzy include mass walking buddy, envelope sealer, and rose plucker. When she is not accounting for taxes internationally in Chicago, Erin enjoys napping and opining on the virtues of Wisconsin.

  • Annie Belioll

    When Annie isn’t needlepointing, cooking, running, at ballet class, making stained glass, or FaceTiming Izzy, she occasionally finds time to write for her PhD in quantitative methods. Be advised— if you ask her about her research, she may be unable to resist the urge to explain her latest discoveries on a cocktail napkin.

The Groomsmen

  • Nicholas Joseph

    The second computer scientist Nick, favourite brother of the bride, reader of many books, listener of many songs, writer of absolutely nothing, etc etc. I love long walks on the beach, but I prefer long naps on the beach. Thank you.

  • Kyle Matyka

    Justin and Kyle have spent many good years as cousins and friends. From weekends with family to making music together, it's always a good time. Originally from Rib Lake, WI and now in the Green Bay area, he works as an electrical engineer. He also has a wide variety of interests including making music, cooking, motorcycles, etc.

  • (Michael) McElroy

    While the pronunciation of his last name is the subject of much speculation, there’s no doubt Michael is always ready for a new Midwestern adventure. He transplanted to Chicago from Connecticut after graduating from Notre Dame and enjoys trying new recipes, hitting the gym, and bar-hopping when he’s not too busy strategizing the future of mac and cheese or speculating about an economics podcast with Justin.

  • Michael Lee

    Unlike the other Michael, the pronunciation of this Michael's last name is not the subject of much speculation. What is a matter of speculation is everything else in his life. What is he up to? No one really knows except his Strava followers. One thing is certain though: Michael took forever to send in his bio (and it's not even a good one).
