Paige & Christian
Wedding Party
David Pann
Best Man
David has been a best friend to the groom since their freshman year of college at UNC Charlotte. David, who also earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering, enjoys playing guitar, singing at his church, and playing board games with friends. David and his wife Ellie led a small group alongside Christian at their on-campus church while at UNC Charlotte, and were gracious enough to have Christian as the Best Man in their wedding in 2018. As of March 2021, David and Christian will both be engineers at the same company, located in Denver, NC.
Rebecca Cline
Maid of Honor
Rebecca and Paige bonded on the swim team in high school, though it was Paige's passion and the bane of Rebecca's existence. 13 years and countless memories later, they're still the best of friends. Rebecca has a passion for inclusivity and promoting healthy lifestyles. She also enjoys killing it on the volleyball court, poodles of all sizes and varieties, and busting a move (Catch her on the dance floor!)
Esteban Mendieta
Groomsman
Esteban (engineer #2 of many) attended UNC Charlotte on a Levine Scholarship, where he graduated with two degrees, in Business and Engineering. Esteban is naturally funny and outgoing (see: definition of enneagram type 7), and is always a joy to be around. Quite the adept learner, Esteban has a knack for always teaching himself something new, and has educated himself on various things ranging from the French and Chinese languages, to home brewing, to hunting and more. Esteban and his wife Elizabeth have been close friends of the groom since college, and currently reside (too far away) in Hoboken, NJ.
Niki Rohrbaugh
Bridesmaid
Paige has known Niki since preschool when they went to the same babysitter, but it wasn't until high school that their bond really strengthened. Years of soccer and sleepovers built the foundation of their friendship, and they've continued to remain a big part in each other's lives over the years. Niki spends her days improving dental hygiene in southeastern Ohio and her evenings playing with her three monsters at home #BoyMom
Alex Rosenberger
Groomsman
Alex, like many of the groomsman listed here, happens to be an engineer (shocker, I know). Alex attended UNC Charlotte with Christian, and spent time in the same campus ministry small group at Impact Charlotte, where they became friends. Alex is famous for shooting a 42 on the back 9 of a golf course that one time, making Christian look like chump. Just don't ask him what he shot on the front 9... Alex is a great friend who also happens to be an accomplished chef, NASCAR aficionado, and fan of the Panthers (go Thers!) Alex and Makayla were there at the very beginning of Christian and Paige's relationship, when they all went to McAddenville, NC to see the Christmas Lights (Christian asked Paige on their first date that night!)
Olivia Primm
Bridesmaid
Without a doubt the most sane of the bunch, Olivia moved onto the Primm block in 1998, totally raining on Christian's only-child parade. Olivia graduated from Appalachian State University in 2021, majoring in History Education. Olivia is fluent in German, and spent a semester abroad there in 2019 in the small town of Bamberg. As luck would have it, Christian also visited Germany in 2019 for business, and was able to see Olivia while there! Olivia will be starting her teaching career at Christian's high school in the Fall! Olivia is a Harry Potter nerd, which is just one way that Paige and Olivia were able to bond right off the bat. Olivia shows her love to those around her through thoughtful notes, intentional gifts, and by investing her time and energy to support her family and friends.
Mike Wilson
Groomsman
Mike lives in the Concord area, and works in brand creation for major companies. Christian and Mike became friends while serving on leadership at their college campus ministry, Impact Charlotte. After college, Mike started a dinner group ("Family Dinner") for recent UNCC Impact grads that ran for nearly 2 years before being forced into hibernation due to the pandemic (thanks, COVID). Mike and Christian currently co-lead a small group through their church, which has been meeting virtually since COVID began. Mike enjoys getting outdoors to hike, DIY home improvement projects, and spending time with his wife Kait, and dog Koda.
Jessica Titley
Bridesmaid
Jessica and Paige met when they both blindly chose to live in the same house together in PA school at Marietta College. Over a long year of late night living room study sessions, weekend Panera study trips, and mental breakdowns between studying, their friendship grew into one that would last a lifetime. Jessica breaks hearts and puts them back together again (strictly medically, she's happily married) as a cardiothoracic surgery PA in Tennessee. She spends the time she has away from the hospital trying to keep up with her energetic GSP, Knox
Grant Primm
Groomsman
The brother of the Groom and resident Drum Core International (DCI) extraordinaire, Grant is in love with all things music. So much so that he stole all of the musical talent from the Primm children, and hoarded it for himself...rude. Grant can play just about anything - Tuba, Trumpet, Piano, etc. - and always kindly reminds his siblings of his musical endeavors and accomplishments compared to theirs. When he's not one-upping his older siblings, he's probably longboarding or hiking somewhere in the Appalachians with his friends from Western Carolina. A COVID senior/freshman, Grant has taken the pandemic in stride, all while missing out on some of the things that he loves the most, including marching band. Grant is truly a great friend, and the best brother a guy could ask for.
Tristan Lunde
Bridesmaid
Tristan and Paige met at knit club shortly after Paige moved to North Carolina, and they quickly bonded over good wine and good food. With this shared love, they've enjoyed exploring new restaurants around Charlotte together. In addition to their culinary explorations, they spent time (pre-COVID) supporting and witnessing each other grow in a small Bible study and continue to share in each others hills and valleys. Tristan and Paige also both overcame their disdain for running and completed three consecutive, very meaningful, 10Ks together in Charleston, SC. Tristan serves in an FQHC just outside Charlotte as a primary care PA. She enjoys live music, Blue Devil basketball, and cuddling with her two fur babies
Tony Carpenetti
Groomsman
Tony was one of Paige's earliest playmates when he joined the Carpenetti clan, though it was likely against his will. Over the years, he tolerated his fair share of dress up and school, but was such a good sport through it all. Though Paige will always remind him of her higher rank in the birth order, Tony has proven to pass her up with his musical abilities and punny nature. Tony is yet another engineer in the crew and has recently relocated to Alabama in preparation for his own wedding come April. He enjoys spending time outdoors, cruising on his motorcycle, and playing a variety of instruments
Laura Alison
Bridesmaid
Laura was one of first people Paige met when she moved to North Carolina. Laura was assigned to orient Paige, a new PA grad, to her first job and did so with all the kindness and patience in the world. She also invited Paige to join a knit club (read: wine club) that became a monthly highlight for them both over the years. Since then, they have enjoyed countless adventures together in and around the Charlotte area as well as encouraged each other in their faith in a small Bible Study group. Laura and her family recently moved back to their home state of Iowa, she currently works as an Urgent Care PA. She spends her free time exploring with her toddler and making the best cookies ever
Tyler Carpenetti
Groomsman
Tyler was the last to join the Carpenetti clan, and while Paige desperately wanted a little sister, she quickly came around to her youngest brother, who was (according to Tony) "one amazing baby." Tyler was determined to keep up with his siblings over the years, despite their age differences. He has always tackled every challenge in his path with focused dedication. Tyler is a recent graduate of Wright State University and is embarking on a new adventure designing aircraft propeller systems at Hartzell Propeller. In his free time, Tyler enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, being active, and gaming with his friends
Meghan Walker
Bridesmaid
Meghan and Paige were friendly swim team competitors in high school, but became roommates and teammates when they enrolled together at Wheeling Jesuit University. Over the four years they spent sharing nearly everything in the small college dorm rooms, they collected innumerous memories in addition to their college degrees. Meghan's professional recruiting skills have been utilized at various companies in the northeast and New England region. She loves her two fur babies (and all cats in general) and traveling the world with her husband
Mitchell Stokes
Groomsman
Apart from the groom's parents and siblings, no one has put up with living with Christian longer than Mitchell. He has lived in Denver, NC for the past 2.5 years, and lived with Christian for a spell in college as well. Mitchell is a fun-loving, energetic, middle school band director who enjoys reality-competition game shows...like a lot. If you ever find yourself wondering what drama happened on the latest episode of [fill in the blank - it could be anything], he's your guy. A truly great guy, Christian & Paige are thankful for his friendship!
Jennifer Merryman
Bridesmaid
Jen and Paige first got to know each other in the Registrar's Office at Wheeling Jesuit University where Paige worked a couple hours a week and Jen basically ran the place. When Jen joined the swim team as a manager, their friendship began to grow into what it is today. She loves to travel and plan events, so it's no surprise she thrives as a travel agent for UniGlobe. In addition to traveling, Jen enjoys all sports Pittsburgh (but especially the Pirates), creating bomb playlists, and everything Disney
