Ted Clark

Best Man

I met Ted in 2008, freshman year at Lafayette High School. We were both playing football and became instant friends. A lot of Minecraft, Fifa, and Madden were played through the years on top of football practices, weightlifting sessions, and bread eating. We've been friends ever since; through multiple school transfers, moves and a term of military service. I'm extremely proud to call Ted my best man.

Samantha Irvin

Maid of Honor

I met Sami in 7th grade when I developed a huge crush on her older brother Alek. I soon learned they were related and decided a friendship with her could help me get close to him. That plan never really came to fruition, but I quickly learned that friendship with Sami was far more valuable a relationship. We bonded closely in AP Art our senior year at Sheldon High School, and by the time I left for college in the fall, we were inseparable. She remains my fastest and most loyal friend through all of life's journeys and has been my first and only choice for maid of honor since I was 18.

John Huggett

Groomsman

I met John, Ellen's older brother, during Christmas of 2017. Though I haven't spent a lot of time with him yet, I look forward to getting to know him better. I asked him to be a groomsman because it is symbolic of becoming a part of each other's family and becoming brothers.

Hunter Waters

Bridesmaid

Hunter and I met in May 2018 when she moved out to Washington on an adventurous spirit. We quickly learned how easy it is to talk to each other, as we share a passion for social justice, feminist authors, and laughing at her older brother (Brannon). She is someone I already consider a sister, and am honored she said yes when I asked her to be a bridesmaid.

Jay Barkley

Groomsman

I met Jay while serving in the military. He was a fellow combat medic and we shared similar points of view on the military and pop culture. We bonded over our taste in music and our love of the show Adventure Time.

Katelynn Baggett

Bridesmaid

Katelynn and I met in high school, and were drawn together early by the red curly hair that graces our gorgeous heads. We were in choir and PE together, lived around the corner from each other, and were frequently mistaken for a couple because of our tendency to hold hands. Through thick and thin Katelynn has been there for me, and I am proud to call her my bridesmaid.

Savannah Jeanelle

Groomswoman

I originally met Sav while she was dating a good friend of mine in Washington. We instantly cliqued and found that we had a lot in common. We love to eat soup, drink expensive coffee, listen to records and have puppy play dates.

Trisha Chang

Bridesmaid

Trisha Chang, otherwise known as "2-Changs", is the coolest person I know. We met in Alpha Gamma Delta and she became my "little" sister and I, her "big". Though we didn't have much in common in the beginning, Trisha and I grew close over the years and she, along with Sara Riddick, has seen me at my best and worst, and still hangs out with me. I couldn't imagine my special day without her there.

Garrett Losty

Groomsman

A very dear friend of mine, I met Garrett in high school as well. I cannot count the number of late night conversations we had on his back porch watching the water on the golf course float by. I lived with Garrett for extended periods of time on multiple occasions, and am thankful to him and his family for their hospitality. We are diehard Philadelphia sports fans and have been friends for over a decade. #BirdGang

Koreen Jebulan

Bridesmaid

Koreen and I met in 2018 when she started on 6A at St. Joseph Medical Center. Cool under pressure, and a generally bubbly and light-hearted personality, I loved Koreen immediately. She and I became best work buddies and though she never forgave me for moving out of 6A, we frequently ate lunch together and made time for each other outside of work. I am so happy she agreed to be in my bridal party.

Danielle Rossi-Dell

Groomswoman

On my way out of the military, the universe dropped one more awesome person in my life. A fantastic medic by the name of Danielle, who easily out-performs every man in her male-dominated field. If I am ever injured she is the one I want to work on me, after my amazing fiance of course. Without Danielle, I do not think I could've made it during my final days in the Army. She made our days out training bearable and she is one of the strongest people I know.

Sara Riddick

Bridesmaid

The second Sara joined our sorority family, I loved her. She is a strong, loyal, honest woman who believes passionately in her work as an Ag teacher. She has been there for my worst drunk nights and still likes me, so there's some serious love between us. I was honored when she asked me to be a bridesmaid at her wedding in 2017, and there's no way I would get married without her by my side.

Frank Sandberg

Groomsman

I met Frank while in the Army as well, where I knew him best as Sandberg. I was his first roommate in months, and when I showed up, he wasn't happy. He did not talk to me for weeks. Over the following months, we began to bond over dfac dinners, whiskey, and NBA 2K sessions and I think I finally grew on him. He agreed to be my groomsman now, after all.

Cody Thomas

Bridesman

Cody is my oldest friend and the kind you can pick up the phone with after years of silence and talk as if it were yesterday. He and I met in 5th grade, and have stayed friends despite time, distance, and life's many obstacles. We signed a pact as 6th graders stating we would be in each other's wedding, and I have never thought about my wedding day without him in it.

Chase Waters

Usher

Chase! The youngest Waters child is a dinosaur expert, a talented pokemon trainer, and a true social butterfly. We are excited to have him as our usher, as we believe his personality will charm every guest that he helps to a seat.

Lauren Clark

Photographer

Lauren Clark is a close friend of Brannon's from high school. We learned of her wedding photography business and jumped at the chance to have another friend attend our wedding, and are honored she will travel cross-country to be there. We are so excited to see her bright smile from behind the camera on our day.

Karyn Tilander

Officiant

Karyn Tilander is a good family friend of the Huggetts, from back when she and Patty worked at the phone company together. Ellen has always thought of her and her husband, Bert, as part of her extended family. She has experience as a wedding officiant, and we knew she could give us the most personal touch we wanted for our ceremony. We are so excited to have her!
