Bridal Party :
We would like to recognize and introduce our wedding party. Andrea
wrote bios for her bridesmaids, and Adam wrote those of his groomsmen.
When it came to siblings, we both collaborated. Hopefully this will
give you some insight as to why each of these people are so special
and important to us. Enjoy!

Meighan
Keenan

Meighan is a recent graduate of Marquette University and is now a
Registered Nurse at Loyola. She loves to play tennis, shop, sleep,
and eat candy. Megs and I started our friendship as
toddlers when Meighan's Mom invited me to the neighborhood
playgroup. We joined the Plum Grove Swim Team together at age 5 and have been attached at the hip ever since.
I would like to thank Meighan for always being there for me
as a friend who would drop whatever she is doing when in need. |

Jim
(Jimbo)
Clementi (roll-over
image) <---
My older brother Jim lives and works in Chicago, IL. As the
2 remaining Clementi bachelors, Adam and Jimbo have had the chance
to spend fun times and many laughs together. Making wine, going to
concerts, SCUBA diving in Cayman Islands, cave diving in Bonaire, remodeling
houses (6 by my count), climbing in Oregon, taking cooking
classes, having parties, and even an Ironman in Lake Placid are
just a sampling of things we have done together. I have looked up
to Jim since before I knew what a role-model was - in fact I still
do (partially because Jim is 2 inches taller - and he doesn't let
me forget it). |

Maria
Clementi
(roll-over
image) <---
Adam's younger sister Maria lives and works in Flagstaff,
AZ. She organizes and leads teams of volunteers into the Grand
Canyon to focus on conservation and protection of natural habitat.
Maria has a great affinity to the oceans and as an Advanced Open
Water SCUBA diver, has traveled with Adam to Honduras and
Venezuela. Maria is also a great chef - who (among other amazing
talents in the kitchen) can actually make Brussel Sprouts that the
average guy can not only tolerate, but LIKES! Being the 2 youngest of 8 Clementi children, Adam and Maria have
always had a special bond - together they went to St. Theresa and
St. Viator, swam, played polo, and were in the musicals. We are so excited to have her in our
wedding party as the youngest of Andrea's 6 new older sisters.
Maria is a beautiful person who always puts others first. We
love you Maria! |

Groomsmen : |

Preston
Correll
(roll-over

Preston and Adam were college roommates for 2 years at Miami.
Between living together, meals, water polo practices (and travel
tournaments), daily trips to "The Rec", rock climbing weekends at
the Red, and swimming - they were seldom apart. Preston lives in
Stanford, Kentucky with his wife Rachel and newborn son Augustus
(Gus a.k.a. Little Kroger). Although he is currently cattle
ranching, he has also worked as; a rock mason, a squid fisherman,
a demolition expert, missionary in India, and a male runway model.
He is planning to continue his education in Comparative Religion
with a Masters Degree from Miami, University of Chicago, or
Harvard. I'm actually not sure that he even accepted my request to
be in the wedding party - he answered me with a voice mail in
Hindi (which he just happened to "pick up" learned while in
Delhi). (Yes,
that's us jumping off that cliff.) |

Robby
Vavrik
(roll-over
image) <---
Robby (pictured middle) is a Junior at Saint
Viator. He plays soccer and water polo (just like Adam did back in
the day). Robby and Adam enjoy many activities
together, including water polo, body surfing, diving board
competitions, wrestling, skiing, and cuddling (especially when
Momma Vavrik asks Adam to help wake Robby up on Saturday
mornings). Robby is well known for his killer dance moves and
angelic karaoke singing voice. We would like to thank Robby for
being gentle on Adam when wrestling so that he doesn't break a hip
(since he is so old and fragile). We are thrilled that Robby has
agreed to be a part of our big day. |

Matt
Vavrik
(roll-over
image) <---
Matt is a Junior at Marquette University in Wisconsin. He is an
avid sports fan and is willing to compete in absolutely anything
you challenge him to - go ahead and try it at the wedding . . .
anything. Matt and Adam have already competed in bench press,
running, hand stands, ping pong, billiards, breath holding (both
in and out of water), 500, basketball free-throws and fire
walking. Aside from his competitive side he also has a softer more
cultured side. He is an accomplished pianist (mostly motivated at
this point to impress babes) and is the only person I know who can
honestly sleep through a full body slam. On a personal note, Matt
has always made me feel like one of the family and
I'm eager to take him rock climbing (you better believe it'll be a
competition.)
