Renee Sollenberger

Bridesmaid

Abbey and Renee were roommates for ~2 years - best 2 years of undergrad! Renee met Charlie at the same back to school bar crawl as Abbey their senior year of undergrad. Currently Renee works and lives in NJ (too far from her besties in Pittsburgh)!

Jackson Ellis

Groomsman

Jackson and Charlie met on the dance floor of The Basement (a Penn State bar) where they shared their love for all things Penn State, beer, and hot dogs. After many a late night run to Sheetz two things became clear: (1) Charlie had a new beer drinking buddy, and (2) Charlie should be sponsored by Sheetz.

Erin Anderson

Bridesmaid

Erin is a Bridge Engineer and went to Penn state with Abbey and Charlie. She was in clubs and Civil Engineering classes with Charlie and met Abbey through their mutual friend Renee. She is so excited to stand next to her friends on their big day!

Rob Sahin

Groomsman

Rob met Charlie through an engineering club at Penn State. They bonded over many tubesteaks, hikes, and the same five jokes told too many times. He's honored to stand by Charlie’s side for their big day!

Emma Zimmerman

Bridesmaid

Emma met Abbey many years ago as kids in Girl Scout camp and became best friends. She then met Charlie when she visited Abbey at Penn State. He joined them at a night club for a fun night out!

Antonio DeMarchis

Groomsman

Antonio is an electrical engineer and lifelong Yinzer. Despite growing up no more than 15 minutes from Charlie (and unknowingly shaking his hand in high school—feel free to ask him about that), he didn’t meet Charlie and Abbey until his last semester at Penn State. Although his friendship with the couple has been relatively brief, it’s been nothing but a blessing as well. Whether it’s trying local breweries, going on bike trips, or simply hanging out, they share a love for enjoying life to its fullest.

Jenna Foust

Bridesmaid

Jenna has know Abbey her whole life... Abbey’s her mean older sister! (Jk haha). Jenna can't wait to party it up and celebrate with Abbey and Charlie on their big day!

Evan Blenko

Groomsman

Evan is Charlie's younger brother, so they've known each other from day one. While Charlie certainly annoyed him at times growing up, but he's grown into a great brother and he's even better with Abbey! Evan's graduating Syracuse University in May of 2025 but can't wait to party at the wedding a few months later!

Stephanie Blenko Currier

Bridesmaid

Stephanie has had the great pleasure of being Charlie’s older sister since he was born. She’s done her best to be a friend and confidant to him in that time, and takes a bit of credit for influencing the wonderful man he has grown up to be. She is thrilled that he’s asked Abbey to be a permanent member of the family and can’t wait to celebrate their special day!

Jamie Currier

Officiant/Groomsman

Jamie married Charlie's older sister Stephanie. Jamie became part of the Blenko family in 2020 and has enjoyed several visits to the USA from their home in London, England since. While Abbey and Charlie were still at Penn State, they hosted Jamie and Stephanie for a football game where Jamie was indoctrinated into the PSU cult.

Victoria Sowerby

Flower Girl

Victoria is Charlie's cousin from San Francisco. Her favorite vacation destination is Pennsylvania, so she is excited to visit again! She can't wait for Abbey to become her cousin.

Oliver Brown

Ring Bearer

Ollie is Abbey's youngest cousin... but if you ask him, he would probably say Charlie is his favorite.
