He attended the University of Pittsburgh and then stayed in Pittsburgh for a couple of years to work as a Market Research Analyst. In 2012, Tim moved to Brooklyn, where he currently performs research for a nonprofit social policy organization.

Tim: "As an educated Man of Law (aka a lawyer), Chris has spent much time in spirited intellectual debate with me about law, politics, and Economics. As one of Chris’ best men, I was responsible for the rings on his wedding day, an unbearably stressful responsibility. I will be returning the favor and entrusting Chris with the all-important wedding rings this May."
(Sister of the Bride)
JL: "Even though we are incredibly different, it's nice to know my sister will be there for me in any situation. We've always enjoyed family vacations, puzzle contests, and laughing at people when they fall in public. Always one to take in a stray animal or help someone in need, she is incredibly patient and compassionate, and I have so much fun being an aunt to her kids."
(Brother of the Groom)
Tim: "Only two years apart, Scott and I were very close to each other growing-up. People would often marvel at how we got along so well for brothers. I tried to get Scott to like sports, but we more so bonded over action figures, watching movies, and playing video games. Later in life, Scott has become a source of Biblical wisdom."
(Friend of the Bride)
JL: "Lisa and I met freshman year of high school and became instant best friends. We spent our teen years watching 10 Things I Hate About You, singing in show choir, and scrapbooking. Lisa is a friend I can call day or night for just about anything. She's also the only person I know who loves sno-cones as much as me!"
(Friend of the Groom)
Tim: "Wes and I have been friends since my family moved across the street from his the summer before fifth grade. He likes to recount the first time he saw me in the back of my mom's minivan and thought he could never be friends with such a weird-looking kid. Fortunately, Wes quickly overcame my weird looks and now spends the summer months in The Hamptons, a destination Jamie Lynn and I are more than happy to travel to."
(Friend of the Bride)
JL: "Jen and I met playing kickball when we were 5 but became best friends the summer before 6th grade after bonding over our shared love of Don Pablo's cheese enchiladas. We made some epic school projects together over the years (and one not so epic catapult... #physics). Jen is someone who I know will always be there for me and I'm so grateful to have her as a friend."
(Friend of the Groom)
Tim: "Whether silly-stringing neighbor's homes or just causing general chaos during the night in our all-black Under Armour outfits, Josh and I were inseparable partners-in-crime as kids. We were also the most-loyal fans of the high school girls' volleyball and basketball teams. We spent many nights driving around the Pittsburgh suburbs, proving to Josh's mom that the GPS wasn't as idiot-proof as she thought, in order to see the girls play."
(Friend of the Bride)
JL: "I've known Alex since 2nd grade, and the majority of my weirdest and most embarrassing stories have her involved... usually as the ringleader. My best memories with Alex typically involve us staying up all night singing harmony to our favorite church songs. I'm so happy we've stayed friends all these years."
(Friend of the Groom)
Tim: "Matt was my next-door neighbor and close friend growing up. Due to our adjoining backyards, we were the co-hosts of numerous intense backyard-football games in high school. One of our greatest accomplishments was figuring out how to play one-on-one baseball, by batting with our weak hand. Unfortunately, this plan quickly became obsolete when we both mastered hitting from the opposite side of the plate."
(Sister-in-Law of the Bride)
JL: "I was so thrilled to have Lauren join our family last May when she married my brother. She has such a fun personality and I love how excited she gets about "Texas" things...The Alamo, armadillos, electric can openers :) It has been so much fun getting close to her the last two years."
(Brother of the Bride)
JL: "My brother is the goofiest person I know. You can always count on him to be in some wild costume or making a video of himself doing a silly dance. I admire how he's never afraid to be himself, and despite his crazy antics, I’m so proud of the awesome guy he’s turned out to be."
(Sister-in-Law of the Groom)
Tim: "Megan officially became my first sister when she married my brother Chris nearly two years ago. However, she has truly been a part of our family since I was in Junior High, so basically most of my life. Megan brings a competitive edge to family game-nights that I respect."
(Friend of the Bride)
JL: "Phillip cast me in a play he was directing when I was 15 and we've spent the past twelve years singing, laughing, and seeing shows together. Phillip is someone who is always there through life's ups and downs, and I can always count on him and his undeniable sense of humor to make me laugh in any situation."
(Sister-in-Law of the Groom)
Tim: "Brenna joined our family a little over a year ago when she married my brother Scott. I enjoy knowing that now whenever I talk to Scott on the phone, Brenna's voice will be joining his on speakerphone. Her quirky and caring personality has been a great addition to our family."
(Friend of the Bride)
JL: "When Nick and I became coworkers a few years ago, we spent a lot of time together, so we bonded pretty quickly. I remember one night we were at a party together and stayed up until 4am talking. I knew then that if, after spending 40+ hours a week together we still needed to talk all night, we would never run out of things we had to tell each other."
(Friend of the Bride)
JL: "Since we see each other every day at work, Kayla was the person who most frequently had to listen to me ramble on about Tim when we first started dating (Sorry Kayla!). I appreciate her willingness to have endless discussions about if he liked me or if we thought he’d ask me out again, which then turned into endless discussions about wedding planning!"
(Nephew of the Bride)
At age 4, this will be Andrew's third time being a ring bearer. Andrew enjoys playing with cars, playing games on the iPad, and he likes The Avengers, especially Captain America. He also loves wrestling and thinks John Cena is the greatest wrestler.
(Niece of the Bride)
Caroline is so excited to be a flower girl for Jamie Lynn and her new "Uncle Tim." She is in third grade at Snow Heights Elementary. In addition to being an experienced flower girl, Caroline enjoys reading, cheerleading, and playing with her American Girl Dolls.
