Maid of Honor
I have been friends with Anna ever since we were little. Thanks to our moms being best friends, Anna is one of my closest friends. We grew up together playing princesses and mermaids and then went to school together at Salem Christian School. Anna and I have been on many adventures from puppet team trips to traveling to Slovenia together. She is someone I can always lean on and she makes everything we do together so much fun. I'm so thankful for all the special moments we have shared together and I can't imagine not having her by my side on my wedding day.
Best Man
Tom and I met in Kindergarten, where we played blocks and Legos together and rode the bus back and forth from school together. We wouldn't be in the same class again until the fourth grade. This is where our friendship really began as we began to hang out that summer and every summer since then. In our college years we both took up an interest in bowling and would spend every Tuesday and Wednesday night bowling in Penndell. Our friendship has grown ever since then and I am very glad to have Tom as my best man for my wedding!
Maid of Honor
Emily was my original prince charming. Whenever I got together with Anna and Emily to play princesses, Emily would always play our prince. She has always brought so much joy and laughter to my life; whenever I am down I know that she is there to support me and cheer me up. She brings out a great energy to those around her and always knows how to start a party. I am thankful to have her by my side to enjoy this wedding season with.
Groomsman
Paul and I went to high school together but never were especially close friends, but then we ended up both majoring in music at West Chester University on the trumpet. Over the 3 years we shared at West Chester together our friendship grew. Paul was part of my very close friend group while I was at West Chester and we would spend almost every weekend with our friends playing hours of video games together. We also started spending time over our breaks from school by hanging out in our hometown and by bowling a lot together. I am glad he can be one of my groomsmen.
Bridesmaid
Madison and I met during my junior year of college at Eastern University and then went on to room together during my senior year. Madison and I met through the dance department at Eastern and enjoyed many years of choreographing and dancing together. Madison and I have been through a lot together and she is someone that I can always go to when I need help or advice. I'm so thankful that she is always there for me and will be standing with me on my special day.
Groomsman
Zach and I met during my Sophomore year and his Freshman year at West Chester. He was a music major and played the trumpet just like me and so we were in the same studio together along with Paul. We quickly found out that we shared an interest in video games and so his dorm room became the hang-out spot that first year where we spent time playing games every weekend with our close group of music friends. Zach has remained one of my closest friends even after I graduated. It was always fun to perform with Zach and now I'm glad he can be there on my wedding day.
Bridesmaid
I met Mekenzie during the first summer that Andrew was home. During this time we got to celebrate the 4th of July at Mekenzie's grandparents house and I had a blast getting to know everyone there. Mekenzie is a sweet girl who has always been there for Andrew and I'm so glad that he introduced us. I'm so thankful that she will be by our side as we walk down the aisle.
Groomsman
James is my older brother. He has been a great brother over the years and has helped me a lot with my car and has supported me a lot over the years by coming to my recitals and my graduation from AIT in the Army. I was a groomsmen in James's wedding and I am glad I can have him in mine.
Junior Bridesmaid
Julia is one of my cousins that recently came home from Slovenia. I have loved getting to see her grow over the years and am cherishing every moment I get to spend with her and her family. Julia and I have bonded over her love for Rhythmic Gymnastics and my love for dance. She is a beautiful gymnast and I can't wait to see where it takes her! I am so thankful that she can be a part of my wedding and will be standing by my side.
Groomsman
Anthony is my younger brother. We were very close growing up and spent a lot of time riding bikes, and playing in the neighborhood together. Anthony has also been extremely supportive of my pursuit of my musical career and the pursuit of my Army career now too. I am very happy to have Anthony as one of my Groomsmen.
Junior Bridesmaid
Iliana is another one of my cousins and her and I share a special bond. She is so goofy and can always make me smile no matter the circumstances. She is constantly dancing and singing and likes to entertain those around her. I'm so thankful that she is home and able to be a part of my wedding party. She will definitely be busting out some great dance moves during the reception!
Groomsman
I met Phil the first time I went to Megan's house in July 2018 to meet her parents and family. Phil and I ended up having a lot in common and got along pretty well and were able to talk about video games pretty easily. I am excited to have him as a brother-in-law and I'm glad he can be a part of Megan and I's wedding day.
