Bethany & Colby
Wedding Party
Alyvia Biser
Maid of Honor
Alyvia is Bethany's little sister. Alyvia and Bethany weren't always close but now they are best friends as well as sisters. Bethany would describe Alyvia as her go to person. Alyvia and Bethany made a pact when they were little that they would be each other's Maid or Honor when it came time for them to get married. Bethany can honestly say she picked her Maid of Honor not just because of their agreement but because there is no one else for the job!

Bethany loves having Alonna to work with because she was born to be a social worker and is a great friend to spend time around!
Cody Young
Best Man
Cody and Colby have known each other for about 7 years. The first time Colby met Cody was in a high school small group. They were both kind of quiet and never really talked to anyone. During the summer of 2016 they were volunteers for a trip to a church camp and started talking and became very close friends after that. That summer, Colby spent a lot of time hanging out with Cody and their friendship grew to more of a brotherhood. In May 2018, Cody moved to Lancaster to take a Youth Pastor position. Even though Colby and Cody don't see each other in person much, they still talk all the time.
Evan Chapell
Groomsman
Evan is Colby's younger brother. As they've gotten older they have become more than just brothers. Over the years Colby has watched Evan grow and find himself and Colby is so proud of who he becoming. Even though they fight like brothers do, Colby couldn’t have asked for a better brother than Evan.
Christian Oliverio
Groomsman
Colby has known Christian for around 5 years. They met at church and then ended up being in the same small group together. Christian helped Colby develop a deeper love for the Star Wars franchise. His knowledge of the Bible and history is always something Colby has admired. Christian and Colby spent a lot of time exploring trails and talking with each other about life and facts about different subjects.
Nicholas Oyerly
Groomsman
Colby has known Nick for about 3 years. They met at a college function through Chestnut Ridge Church. Coincidentally enough Colby met Nick because he was invited by Christian. A few months later they found themselves in the same small group and realized they had a lot in common from their love of superheroes to their faith in God. Nick and Colby have gone on many adventures to Cici's together and it became their spot to hangout.
Joshua Matti
Groomsman
Colby has known Josh for about 4 years. Josh and Colby were part of the same church small group. Their first small group outing was a “meet and greet” for everyone to get to know each other. They were all going to meet at Eat N’ Park and just hang out. Colby arrived to find that only their small group leader and Josh had shown up. This gave Colby a chance to get to know Josh and have conversations one on one. They continued to be in the same small group and hung out outside of small group. Josh is the reason Colby developed a love for the board game Catan. He is a master at that game and Colby has only been able to beat him once.
Alan Ninan
Groomsman
Colby and Alan have known each other for about 3 years. Colby met Alan through small group and they have had many adventures together from snow tubing at WISP to hiking at Coopers Rock. Colby has always admired Alan’s work ethic and faith in God. Ever since they met, they’ve become closer every day and Alan is a crucial part of who Colby is today.
