Bride
The Denz
Officiant
The moment Danielle walked into Wesley College for her tutoring coordinator interview, something clicked. I remember hugging her and apologizing for being "a hugger" - but ten minutes in, I knew she wasn't just perfect for the job-she felt like family. When DLA joined our team and declared she "didn't do feelings," I nearly laughed. This from the woman who'd later become my emotional rock! Shortly after starting at Wesley, DLA landed herself in the hospital; that was the first time I met Amanda. She popped her head into my office, introducing herself with this huge smile and bubbly personality. Little did I know this wonderful woman would become just as important to me. I remember thinking how perfectly they complemented each other - Amanda's warmth balancing Danielle's structured approach to life. Then came our first hotel sleepover during a work trip - WILD doesn't begin to cover it! Over these 10+ years, we've been through everything together. Batman and Robin adventures, conference presentations where things went hilariously wrong, those mortifying airport security incidents... What makes their love so special is how they choose each other, every day. Not in grand gestures, but in small moments of care that speak volumes. Being asked to perform their vow renewal ceremony is truly one of the greatest honors of my life—a privilege that moves me to tears every time I think about it. Having these two incredible women in my life has been one of my greatest blessings.

Amanda and I have known each other since kindergarten/preschool. We played basketball, went to dances, listened to music on the bus, and went on many field trips. Looking back, I'm so grateful for being able to grow up with not only my best friend, but also someone who has become one of the most important people in my life. Thankfully, our relationship strengthened when she went to college. Though farther away, we kept in contact and our bond grew! I was lucky to spend some spring breaks with Amanda, Danielle, and her family; we made so many amazing memories. From the moment I met Danielle, I knew she was the most genuine person I've ever met, who loved my best friend unconditionally. I'm honored to say she has also become my best friend. From meeting Danielle in downtown Philly to officiating my wedding, she and Amanda are now two of the most important people in my life. I've had the privilege of watching Amanda and Danielle grow alongside one another. From a new relationship to a devoted married couple-they very clearly and truly love each other. They've been through good and bad times and have never wavered standing beside one another. I'm so grateful and happy that my best friend has found someone as incredible as Danielle to spend her life with. I’m excited to celebrate their once in a lifetime love, unrelenting dedication, and commitment to one another. I wish them the best as they continue choosing each other every day and going through life’s journey together!
Maid of Honor
As Danielle's sister, I guess you could say I'm always looking out for her. Keeping her informed about the slang she learns from her students; recommending different books, music, and recipes; and ALWAYS giving her my opinion on what she's wearing! After all, isn't that the job of the little sister? So when she started bringing Amanda around, of course I had my opinion on that, too. And here it is, I cannot imagine a more fitting person for her to get to spend her life with. Amanda is such a gift to my sister and the rest of our family. I look up to the relationship the two of them have built and the example they continue to set every day.
Best Man
As I grew up with Danielle as my older sister, I quickly noticed she would remain to be one of the smartest people I've ever known. This realization came shortly after she introduced me to Amanda for the first time. Growing up with mostly girls in the house, I know how to push buttons. And from the first dinner we all shared together, Amanda showed that annoying little boys would be no match for her. Once again, Danielle was right. She had picked the perfect person for her who fit seamlessly into our family. I could not be happier for the both of them and it's been a joy to witness their relationship bloom into a beautiful marriage!
Best Man/Bride Walker
What can I say about Amanda that isn’t extremely obvious? This is a question that I pondered for a while because I have quite literally known her my entire life which is why writing something about a special time in our lives is so difficult for me. The reason is every memory I have with her is special from all of the times she would play with me as a kid, talking about our love of starwars (specifically Anakin skywalker), her apparently making me play dress up with her when I was too young to remember, showing me that *NSYNC is better than the Backstreet Boys, her unjust dislike for the best football team of all time (the Pittsburgh Steelers), and so many more! I think everything I can say about Amanda everyone already knows, she is one of the warmest, most loving, and caring people you’ll ever have the pleasure of meeting. She never has a bad word to say about anyone and she tries to always be a light in a world that sometimes can be very dark. She has always been there for me and I have been so lucky to be blessed with such an amazing big cousin! Now to get to Danielle. I could not have dreamed for a better person for Amanda to end up with. You were immediately inviting to me and I knew instantly how good of a person you were and how good for each other you two are! I am so happy and proud that I get to be a part of your special day because you two have given me so many special days I am just glad I can finally return the favor!

A long, long time ago….okay it was only 10 years ago when I met Danielle at Wesley College, but I feel as if I’ve known her forever. It did not take long for me to meet Amanda and from there our friendship has blossomed. From road trips to Lancaster, to movie theatre popcorn, to family dinners, living life with the two of them is the best medicine. Danielle & Amanda are more than friends, they are family. They will always have a special place in my heart- they are the perfect match.

Although I've only had the privilege of knowing Amanda and Danielle for nine years, those nine years have been filled with genuine friendship and meaningful moments. My connection with Amanda began through a mutual friend at work. Even when my career took a different path, our bond remained unchanged. We bonded over our shared creativity and love for the theater. Her smile and boundless optimism were a breath of fresh air. She was always ready for the next adventure! Whether joining a nonprofit board, taking a spontaneous day trip, or attending a show, Amanda was always all in. As my friendship with Amanda grew, I was also fortunate to get to know Danielle. Danielle epitomizes what it means to be a supportive spouse. She is incredibly generous, always willing to lend a helping hand, and would truly give you the shirt off her back. Beyond her kindness, Danielle's wit adds a delightful spark to our adventures, and I cherish our banter. Together, they have been unwavering pillars of support, always offering a listening ear for my ideas, frustrations, and life's twists and turns. Even when time and distance keep us apart, we always pick up right where we left off. Through it all, they have shown up for me in every season of life, believing in me even when I struggled to believe in myself. It is an honor to stand beside them on this special day as they renew their vows. I look forward to the new memories we will create together and the continued love we share.

As an 18-year-old, I gotta say, Aunt Danielle and Aunt Amanda are the real MVPs in my life. Aunt Danielle has this folder with my name on it from middle school when I first asked her for help with math. Every office she's been in since then, that folder has traveled with her. That's the kind of person she is—dedicated and caring. Aunt Amanda is just as amazing, always there to listen and give me the real talk. They mean so much to me that I wanted them at my soccer senior night, not just in the stands but out on the field with me. Their support has been solid, and I'm so grateful to have them as family. Aunt Danielle even helped me buy my first car, teaching me about money, insurance, and maintenance (though I still need to follow her advice more often!). She made me read and sign everything on my own when I bought my car, making sure I knew what I was signing. Thanks, Aunt Amanda, for letting me borrow her for a while. Their love and guidance have shaped who I am today. Aunt Amanda's warmth and thoughtfulness, along with her honest advice—even when I didn't want to hear it—is always there no matter what. Their example of love, dedication, and always having my back is something I wanna carry into my own relationships. I'm really lucky to have them as my family and role models and even more lucky to be a part of their special day.

I've been super lucky to have Aunt Danielle and Aunt Amanda since I was little. Aunt Danielle always knows when I'm sad and cheers me up. She once took me to skating, stayed ALL night, took notes and pics - that's how much she cares! Aunt Amanda = baking, glitter, Taylor Swift, and high school plays!!! She's not just a friend but listens without judging. I can talk about almost ANYTHING with her! When life gets crazy, they both make me feel better. They help me feel like I belong and give me so much confidence, especially the last couple of years. Their relationship is sooo inspiring! They love each other so much and support each other. They have taught me to always be there for people you care about no matter what!! I hope I am lucky to find my person when it is time for me to get married just like them.

When Danielle and Amanda visit cousin Maggie in Philadelphia, they love sharing pizza and watching Maggie play soccer. When Maggie visits Danielle and Amada in Delaware, they enjoy chicken fingers and making smores in the backyard. When visiting the Ferrante family, they enjoy taking Maggie to visit horses and feeding them peppermints or sugar cubes.

I’ve been lucky enough to be Amanda’s aunt since she was an adorable preschooler — all bright eyes and boundless charm. From the very beginning, she’s been a joy to know — smart, witty, kind, and full of light. Every moment in her company has always felt like pure joy. Then in 2014, while Oni and I were visiting West Chester University, I met Danielle — and something just clicked. I felt an instant connection to her, as if she was always meant to be part of our family. Watching the two of them together, it was clear — Danielle didn’t just love Amanda; she completed her. And from that moment on, I knew Amanda’s heart had found its perfect match.

I remember the first time I met Dainelle and Amanda. They were so welcoming and accepting of who I am. I have had the pleasure to make so many fond memories with them over the years. We vacationed in the Poconos during covid and made one of the best things in the world: a nacho table. We went to Shady Maple when Jodi and I visited for their 30th birthday party. We have done axe throwing and other various exciting adventures. The memory that sticks out the most is the time they spent helping Jodi and I plan our wedding. From all the time Amanda spent making our save the dates and invitations to the wonderful card collage she made with our wedding cards. Then Jodi and I asked Danielle to be our wedding officiant. She played such a special part in an unforgettable day. I'm so happy to have shared all these memories with them. Now I get to create another one and be part of their big day. Congratulations on 10 years of marriage!
