Ashleigh & Joe
"I Do" Crew
Rachel Hadley
Matron of Honor
Rachel and I have been friends since we built blocks and learned our ABC's in Mr. Kahl's morning kindergarten class. We remained friends and were band stand partners from fourth to twelfth grade. When we weren't hanging out at school, we worked many hours at the Sovereign Center as ticket takers or ushers, watched countless hours of the Bachelor at her parents house, and traveled to many fun locations on band trips. Here we are 25 years later and our friendship has turned into a sister bond. I am excited to have Rachel as my Matron on Honor and celebrate my special day with her by my side!
Erica Davidson
Bridesmaid
Erica and I have been friends since elementary school. Our friendship quickly became a sisterhood in junior high when we traveled for band trips and worked together at our first job. We spent many days carpooling to and from school. We also enjoyed our weekly Bachelor viewing parties at friends houses. I am excited to have Erica celebrating my special day with me as my bridesmaid!
Rebecca Wittman
Bridesmaid
Rebecca and I have been friends since high school. We spent many Monday nights watching the Bachelor and celebrating our annual "Friendsgiving" with other members of our "Fantastic Four" group. Rebecca and I share many fitness goals and keep each other motivated during our fitness journeys! Our friendship has grown so much over the years and I couldn't celebrate this special day without Rebecca by my side.
Kayleigh Kohler
Bridesmaid
Kayleigh is my cousin and we grew up together making memories at our grandparents houses as we had races down the stairs and were honorary members of the "kids table" during family gatherings. We have many stories and made memories as well traveled to London together with our grandparents and had countless adventures to the beach. We have shared in many funny moments and I can't wait to share in many more memorable moments with Kayleigh!
Meghan Stramara
Bridesmaid
Meghan is my cousin and fashion twin growing up. Our grandparents always dressed us in matching outfits even though there was a two year age gap between us. We have memories of Meghan dropping toys on Kayleigh's and my heads while we were in the pack-in-play as babies. I'm excited to share this special day with Meghan as we create more memories both through our eyes and through her camera lens.
Brittany Keen
Bridesmaid
Brittany is my college friend and roommate. When I met Brittany freshman year in our dorm, I didn't realize how quickly we would become friends and remain friends years after graduating. We shared many education classes together as well as many memories when we lived together our last two years of college. We share a love of reality romance tv shows and have had our fair share of "Just Dance" competitions. I am so excited to share in this special day and have Brittany as one of my bridesmaids.
Lindsey O"Hara
Bridesmaid
Lindsey is Joe's sister. I remember the first time I met Lindsey. Joe and I were dating about a month and we were invited on a trip with Lindsey's school. This was the first time I would be meeting her and her husband, Tim. We clicked instantly sharing in our love of teaching, tv shows, and style. Our friendship has turned into a sisterly bond these past 5 years. I have loved every moment we hang out for dinner or at each others houses. I can't wait for this special day when Lindsey will become an official sister to me!
Taylor Lacey
Best Man
Taylor and I have been friends since elementary school. He also happened to live about 3 blocks down from my parents house growing up. However, there was a day he told me he was moving, thankfully it was just across the street, twice. Whenever we were together, we were always trying to think up fun things to do to keep ourselves entertained. We both share a love of music, sports, and of course beer! I've also grown to know and love his entire family throughout our many years of friendship. I am beyond overjoyed to have him as my best man on this special day!
Ian Golden
Groomsman
Ian and I have been friends for many years. We both participated in the concert band, orchestra, jazz band, and played water polo throughout high school. In addition, we were always playing either football, basketball, or volleyball whenever we got the chance. Ian and I also share a love for attending concerts/festivals and any sporting event. I'm thrilled to have Ian as one of my groomsmen on our special day!
Bill Wagner
Groomsman
Bill and I have been friends since middle school. We both shared a love for music and hockey and share many great memories from our jazz band trips and performances. Our friendship continued to grow after college when I moved in with him and his now wife, Krystle. We lived together for about 2 years until a little girl named Willow decided to grace this world with her sassy and sweet presence and effectively kicked me out in the process. Haha all kidding aside, I couldn't be happier for both of them, we've shared many good times together and surely will have many more in the future, starting with this wedding!
Kegun Ream
Groomsman
Kegun and I have been great friends since he, like Stefen, decided to try his hand at water polo in high school. Thankfully, we continued to stay in touch throughout our college years and made many trips to see each other throughout our 4 years. We both graduated as engineers and I'm happy to have one of the brightest guys I know join me to celebrate!
Stefen Hill
Groomsman
Stefen and I became close friends in high school after he decided to switch from basketball to water polo, which was a great decision. We also both share a love for sports and music. Currently, Stefen resides in sunny LA and I'm beyond excited to have him standing up there with me on our wedding day!
Joe Trotta
Groomsman
I first met Joe as a freshman at UD and we became close friends over the next 4 plus years. Our friendship grew over time by either going to class together, late night study sessions, and endless Chiptole. He has since moved to Florida and works as a Chemical Engineer and I hope to visit him very soon. I couldn't be more excited to have him as one of my groomsmen.
Andrew Kochel
Groomsman
Andrew and I first met shortly after I started dating my soon to be wife, whoa. We quickly found we had a lot of the same interests including sports, video games, and beer (yes he's 21). He is currently going to school to become a carpenter and enjoys woodworking as a hobby as well. I'm looking forward to celebrate this special day with my future Brother-In-Law!
