Christian & Saskia
Wedding Party
Andreea Linte
Maid of Honor
Andreea and Saskia met at a party the summer before freshman year of high school and have been inseparable ever since. Andreea is an incredibly loyal, honest, and selfless friend, and has been Saskia's rock and moral compass over the last 13 years. Saskia has always known Andreea would be her Maid of Honor on her wedding day (even long before she met her groom!) and feels so lucky to have Andreea as her best friend and unofficial sister :)
Harris Beck
Best Man
Harris is Christian's brother, best friend, and biggest inspiration. Even though Harris is the younger brother, he is always pushing Christian to reach his fullest potential. Harris is Christian's go-to person to talk things through with and gives the best advice. Christian couldn't imagine anyone else standing next to him on his wedding day. Love you, Har!
Christen Thomas
Bridesmaid
Christen and Saskia met in Biology class freshman year of high school and quickly became besties. Saskia admires Christen for her wisdom, intelligence and adventurous spirit, and can always count on Christen's wit and humor to put a smile on her face. Saskia is so grateful that, despite being miles apart for the majority of their adult life, their friendship has continued to evolve and deepen over the years.
Andrew Beck
Groomsman
It was awesome growing up with Andrew and exploring the Erie cottage together. Christian thinks of Andrew as more of brother than a cousin, and admires the way he selflessly cares for family. The holiday season and summer weekends at the cottage would not be the same without him!
Flor DeLeon
Bridesmaid
Flor and Saskia met the summer before their senior year at Virginia Tech, when they carpooled together to Gabby's beach house in Ocean City - it was friendship at first sight! Saskia admires Flor for her confidence and integrity, and loves her sassy spunk. She can always count on Flor for a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, or a spontaneous dance party.
Danny Akers
Groomsman
Christian and Danny have been close friends since birth, as they were born less than a year apart from each other. Christian admires Danny's upbeat attitude and that, depsite the distance, they always pick up right where they left off. Christian feels lucky to have Danny as a cousin, close friend, and fellow Erie cottage explorer.
Gabby Herman
Bridesmaid
Gabby and Saskia met in the dorms on one of the first days of freshman year at Virginia Tech. They immediately became "soul sisters" and spent long nights studying, laughing until they cried, crying until they laughed, and navigating the ups and downs of college life. Saskia admires Gabby for her work ethic and honesty, and knows she can count on Gab to help her navigate through this next chapter.
Danny Codeluppi
Groomsman
Danny and Christian met in grade school, became close in high school and are now adventure buddies in DC. Christian can always count on Danny for a bike ride, ski trip, deep talk or double date with their significant others (who happen to be besties, too). Christian looks forward to having Danny's support not only on his wedding day, but also on all the future double date and solo adventures to come.
Kim Eliasoph
Bridesmaid
Kim and Saskia met through their sorority, Alpha Phi, and Saskia immediately knew that Kim was "the one" when searching for her "little sister". Saskia admires Kim for her kindness, sincerity, and wholeheartedness, as Kim has steadfastly been there for her since the day they met. Saskia and Kim have become DC neighbors and dog moms alongside each other, and will now both become wives around the same time this year!
Jeremy David
Groomsman
Jeremy is Christian's brother from another mother who Christian can always count on for guidance and logical advice. One of Christian's best memories in high school is bopping Jeremy's lunchtime ice cream cone into his face to make an enjoyable mess. Jeremy has been a witness to Christian and Saskia's relationship from the beginning and was the mastermind behind Christian's initial flirty texts. Thanks Jerm!
Lauren Jancuska
Bridesmaid
Saskia met Lauren their Junior year of high school and immediately claimed her as a best friend. Lauren is driven, hard working, down to earth and always up for anything. Lauren is Saskia's go-to person for a drink in the city, an epic concert of any muscial genre, or a girl's night in. Saskia values Lauren's friendship enormously, and knows she will always be there to lend a listening ear and sound advice..
Nick Oppelt
Groomsman
Finally, Christian gets the older brother he's always wanted!! While Christian was intimidated at first, he and Nick have become very close friends. Christian can always count on Nick to be his brewery buddy, partner in crime during family trips and gatherings, and deep talk companion over cigars and a beverage. Christian is excited to find out what witty nickname he will create for his future niece or nephews.
Rachel Moose
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Saskia initially met through Saskia's brother Nick at Virginia Tech. They were brought together again when Saskia rushed Alpha Phi Sorority and have now been best friends for almost 10 years. Saskia admires Rachel's positive attitude, go-with-the flow mentality and unquestionable kindness. Rachel is a ray of sunshine in Saskia's life and has been a tremendous "big sister", travel buddy and confidant throughout their friendship.
Will Shea
Groomsman
Christian and Will have more than just a shallow bromance, watch out Saskia! Will brings out the care-free, fun loving side of Christian and they are always getting into shennanigans together. Christian is looking forward to having Will stand by him on his big day because he knows he'll put his nerves at ease with his witty comments and self deprecating jokes.
Lennon Beck
Flower Girl
Doubtful of our training abilities to pull off having our precious goofy pup "come" down the aisle. Wish us luck!
