Brandon & Christine
Wedding Party
David Winchell
Best Man
David has been my best friend since we were 8 years old and David was the tallest and fastest kid on the baseball team. We were going to be teammates on the Yankees when we grew up but settled for being the best man for each other’s weddings! Find David leading the dance floor when “The Wobble” comes on.
Ashley Flanagan
Maid of Honor
Christine’s partner in crime! I met Ashley sophomore year at Fisher but we both came to admit we wished one or the other would’ve introduced themselves in our first year. Everything always seems to be more fun when we’re doing it together and she’s the only one that can compete with me as loudest in the room. We can spend hours planning a themed party, coordinating friend outings and talking about life. She loves the Bills and Disney and I love her!!
Kyle Luther
Groomsman
My dad always told me to stop picking on my brother because someday he’d be my best friend. I’m still waiting for him to not be the annoying little brother that I can beat up, but at least he’s given me my perfect nephew to make up for it! Whether it’s Bills games, concerts, or bonfires I can have more fun with my brother than anyone else!
Ashley Blidy
Bridesmaid
"A cousin is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost." I have no clue how to summarize my memories with Ashley, but I'll give you a glimpse into some of my favorites. I loved every second of our all-nighter, dog sleepover (PB&J forever), elaborate dance routine (especially on poles in her basement to Blue Moon lol), fort building, prank scheming childhood! I was so lucky to grow up with her as my best friend. This girl has the biggest heart, no animal or person can deny that! Enitsirhc & Yelhsa forever.
Brandon Dillenback
Groomsman
It’s ironic that we have the same first name because Brandon is the type of person I would be if I was taller, smarter, funnier, and more athletic. Other than the fact that he’s a Packers fan he’s the full package. We only had to spend ten minutes together to feel like we have been lifelong friends. I feel lucky to get to call him my friend and beyond grateful to have him as a groomsman.
Sarah Dillenback
Bridesmaid
Christine’s permanent coworker! Sarah is very proudly from Wisconsin but I met her when she moved to Rochester and we began working together. We went through some crazy busy seasons and she was the silver lining through it all. We’d vent and laugh through any of our issues. When Sarah switched jobs to spend more time with her adorable son, I went on without her for 9 months before breaking. We now are coworkers again! I’m so thankful her family came into our life!
Brett Martin
Groomsman
I’m pretty sure Brett was one of the first people to call me “squid” in high school. So much has changed since then, he’s a dad and we both pretend to be adults but when we get together it’s like we’re immediately two idiots in high school again. There’s so much to say about Brett about how much I appreciate and love him, but my favorite thing most of all has to be his legendary mustache.
Debbie Martin
Bridesmaid
I realized very early on in our relationship that Debbie was the kind of person that was down for anything and everything. Whether it be a surprise Krispy Kreme trip or 4am sunrise adventure. Yes, we drove to the wrong side of the mountain and completely missed the sunrise, but it is one of my favorite memories with Debbie. Oh, did I mention we also ran out of gas on the mountain LOL She will always show up for family, loves Brandon endlessly and has welcomed me into the family with wide open arms!
Jonny Luxon
Groomsman
Jonny’s a man of many talents as long as those talents include shotgunning beer and quoting Letterkenny. I’ll give $20 to anyone who can shotgun a beer faster than Jonny on my wedding day. His literal blood and sweat is all over my house because he’s always my first call when I need a hand. He will be sleeping on a table by midnight but no one will have more fun than him before then!
Samantha Luxon
Bridesmaid
In a floor meeting at the start of freshman year, Sam’s fun fact about her was being a three sport athlete in high school. I was intrigued and knocked on her door to have over an hour conversation in her doorway. Sam has the kindest heart but if you ever need someone to whip your boyfriend into shape during renovations, just give her a call! It was love at first sight!
Ben Miller
Groomsman
I’m 2015 I made the decision to move to Disney for five months (to follow a girl lol how embarrassing). I didn’t have a car down there but Ben was always willing to give a ride to me or literally anyone who needed one. Ben might actually be the nicest person I’ve ever met. He’s somehow always in a good mood and it’s impossible to not also be when he’s around. Blessed to have him as my friend and by my side!
Amber Blidy
Bridesmaid
Christine’s cousin! During our childhood, Amber, took the brunt of mine and her sister’s shenanigans during countless sleepovers, and vacations. As we’ve gotten older we’ve gotten to connect more, realizing through laughter we are extremely similar in many ways. We’ve spent endless hours playing Just Dance and now we get to dance together at my wedding, it’s crazy!! Keep an eye on your kids because Amber will try her hardest to win over their hearts.
Cody Bayerl
Groomsman
My “Brother from another mother” has always been one of my closest friends growing up. He’s my guy I can call out of the blue and is always up for a good time, hard work, or usually both.
Maddie Hornick
Bridesmaid
The very first person I met on campus at Fisher! Our draw to each other may have been the fact that we were both procrastinators and would sit in each other's room all through the night trying to last minute study or finish papers. I get to share all my craziest thoughts with Maddie and have spent hours laughing with her. Something extra special about Maddie is how close she also got with Brandon, being best buds in their own way, sharing all of their favorite iFunny's with each other. It also should be noted that Maddie's family jewelry store, Van Horn Jewelers were the masterminds behind my engagement ring!!
Colby Brown
Groomsman
Colby (like the cheese) was our photographer for when I proposed to Christine as well as chauffeur and bnb host and tour guide. For the first several years we knew each other Colby and I both thought we hated each other until we finally got drunk and realized we actually love each other. Colby’s theme song is Cotton Eyed Joe so he will be leading the dance floor when it comes on!
Hailey Button
Bridesmaid
Christine’s freshman year roommate, okay and Brandon’s!! We’re pretty sure Fisher paired us because we share a birthday but the similarities don’t end there (Disney freaks, only children, etc.). We ended up living together for two years in college, then in Disney and moved into our first apartment after college together. Some of my favorite memories with Hailey occurred at the end of the day laughing uncontrollably in our twin sized beds. She has been there for both of us at EVERY step of our relationship and we’re so lucky to have her with us on this next journey! Brandon would like to note that she always takes his side in disagreements…LOL
Kyle Cataldo
Groomsman
Kyle was baptized with Christine, went to the same school their whole life even through college, and now live literally live across the street from each other! But Kyle has good taste so naturally it’s ME that has allowed their friendship to flourish. Kyle is my guru for all nerdy things whether I need a recommendation for a game, podcast, tv show, or book, he’s the go to guy! Unfortunately for him he’s also stuck letting our dogs out when we have long days at work, and grabbing our package deliveries when we go out of town. That means we also get random weekday dinners and game nights and energetic waves from across the street as we drive to work.
Justin Puthuparampil
Bridesman
We started as study buddies at Fisher and QUICKLY learned we were terrible influences on each other, but continued all four years laughing through all-nighters. Next came Disney and that was an adventure, with rum and pixie dust by our sides at all times! It was always a joke that he’d be on my side and now that it’s happening I can’t be more excited! I beg you to strike up a conversation with Justin at the wedding, I guarantee something great will come from it.
David Wagner
Groomsman
David is my stepbrother although he somehow looks and acts more like me than any of my blood-related siblings. Which means he’s obviously the coolest and best looking sibling of mine at the wedding.
Simoni Weidright
Bridesmaid
Fun Fact Time - Simoni's mom, Brandi, was in my mom's wedding, I was in Brandi's wedding and now I'm the lucky one that gets to have Simoni in my wedding.
