Our Wedding
Wedding Party
Madilynn Amrom
Matron of Honor
Bradlee and Madi have known each other since grade school, where they spent time bothering Madi's overweight cat and baking a gigantic cookie, but became best friends during junior year of high school. From their hometown, to different colleges, to different states, they've never missed a huge moment in each other's lives. (Pictured right, on the day of one of her greatest accomplishments while being squeezed by Bradlee).
Alexander Falco
Best Man
The Best Man himself, Alexander John Falco, became the best friend of Shane through sheer force of will sometime back in middle school. Truly ambiguous is the origin of their friendship, such that even the greatest of sleuths would simply shrug and say something along the lines of, "it is not the beginning of the bond that holds value, but rather the strength of the ties that bind now." Suffice it to say that they are very good friends and will (most likely) remain that way for the foreseeable future. (Pictured right)
Allison Burnish-Sickora
Matron of Honor
From random roomies freshman year of college, to being attached at the hip for the next 6 years, to standing by each other's sides at their weddings despite being miles apart - Alley has been there through all of the ups and downs, and biggest milestones of Bradlee's life. (Pictured left, laughing much more gracefully than Bradlee).
Shane Hall
Groomsman
Shane Hall (not to be confused with Shane Kunkel, the groom) is a Philly boy, though you wouldn't know it if you just met him. He and his family moved up to Schuylkill County in the middle school chapter of the collective Shanes' lives, and that's when, in the halls of the great Blue Mountain Middle School, the two (Two Shanes, if you would) had their fated meeting. Having similar interests (like video games and being named Shane) is what keeps them together to this day. (Pictured far right)
Katelyn DeRoberto
Bridesmaid
Another random roomie turned best friend and Bradlee's favorite gal to go winery-hopping and dog-watching with! (Pictured left, at the most fun date party during her glory days at Bloomsburg).
Ron Piaskowski
Groomsman
Ron "The Enigma" Piaskowski began his friendship journey with Shane as a tag-along pal with his older brother Tom Piaskowski (we'll get to him next), but quickly became a trusted companion of the groom. Through deeds and words, mostly playing games and using cheeky insults and jokes, Ron rose from the squalor of being called an acquaintance to that of a friend. (Pictured with sea shells for eyes)
Taylor Crowley
Bridesmaid
Taylor lived across the hall from Bradlee and Alley sophomore year of college and has been the "Hootie" to Bradlee's "blowfish" ever since. (Pictured left, on an impromptu day at Hershey Park many years ago).
Tom Piaskowski
Groomsman
Tom "Zoidberg" Piaskowski, elder brother to Ron Piaskowski, had the pleasure of meeting the groom at Boy Scout camp way back where they joked about his (Tom's) jacket being the same color as Zoidberg in the show Futurama. From that point, they both figured out one another's houses were within walking distance and so they would engage in tomfoolery on the weekends and during the summer. A true stalwart and genuine character that any man would want in his retinue. (Pictured in absolute focus)
Candace Krout
Bridesmaid
Bradlee and Candace met working as orientation workshop leaders at Bloomsburg University. It all started with a vent session about a boy...and turned into a friendship to last a lifetime. (Pictured right, throwing deuces, the summer their friendship began).
Tristen Coello
Groomsman
Tristen "The Head Chef" Coello is, as the name suggests, a big wig chef type up in New York City, but he didn't start that way. Tristen was part of the soccer team that the groom also participated in. His unmatched machismo and inability to contain his laughter (even when coach was very angry) made Shane gravitate towards Tristen. The two may not play soccer anymore, but the friendship hasn't withered for even a single day. (Pictured with absolute attention to detail)
Alexa Kunkel
Bridesmaid
She may be Shane's actual sister, but she's also the sister Bradlee never had and always wanted. (Pictured bottom row, 2nd from left, along with the rest of Bradlee's 2nd family).
Jarrod Kunkel
Groomsman
Jarrod "Jare Bear" Kunkel is the O.G. day-one guy. Since Shane made his debut on the scene, Jarrod was there. Here is a man who always marches to the beat of his own drum. With an eclectic taste airing on the finer side of things, Jarrod possesses what could be described as an absolute choke-hold on the word unique. (Pictured with his child)
David Clark
Officiant
David and Bradlee hail from the same hometown. In 2015, they created a bond over their love of cute animals using wheelchairs and music that makes you jump - a bond that would endure distance and time (8 years and counting!). (Pictured right, just before helping Bradlee and Shane strap a tree to their car).
Bella & June
Dog of Honor and Best Dog, respectively
While our girlies will not be present on our special day, we love them like family and felt they deserved some spotlight here. (June, pictured left and Bella, pictured right - both up to no good at the top of the stairs in our first home together).
