Colleen & Josh
Wedding Party
Catherine Cluck Salerno
Matron of Honor
Another 20 year friendship! Katie and Colleen also met in junior high and were on the high school swim team together. They spent a lot of time talking in front of Katie’s house after school. Just talking. A 25 minute walk home turned into an hour or more. Again, adulting separated them for a little while but gravity pulled them back together. Colleen was a bridesmaid for Katie in 2019 and now the favor is being returned ten fold!
Noel Clore
Best Man
Noel and Josh have been friends for over a decade and a half. The first time they hung out, and this started this legacy, was way back when Noel invited Josh over to play the new game, Halo: Combat Evolved. This was the beginning of a lifelong friendship that has seen the ups and downs of both gentlemen.
Heather Schultz
Bridesmaid
This here is a 20 year friendship. Heather and Colleen met in junior high school. Heather was one of the first friends Colleen made when she changed schools. From junior high volleyball team, to high school swim team, to sleep overs and pool parties, they spent their teenage years together. Adulting put some distance between them for a few years but they gravitated back together and are as close as ever. Now both mothers, free time is an issue but they manage to exchange tiktoks most every day.
Aaron Castros
Groomsman
Aaron and Josh became friends when they were both working for the Sonic Drive-In in Harrisburg, IL. Aaron was always willing to hang out and play some video games. Or, just chill and chat about life and other interests.
Nicole Bartlett
Bridesmaid
A newer member of Colleen’s circle, Colleen’s cousin Jason had the good judgement to marry an amazing woman. That woman was Nicole. It took a little time, but Nicole went from being Colleen’s cousin’s wife, to Colleen’s cousin, to Colleen’s friend. They talk often and have sleepovers with adult beverages and good food. Nicole and Jason are also supplying MORE family to the wedding party! Their 3 little ones will serve as flower girls and ring bearer.
Oren Martin
Groomsman
Oren is the brother of Josh and the youngest sibling. They’ve spent lots of time together and both enjoy many of the same outdoor activities. Most recently they’ve started getting into investing, trying to make some money for now and the future.
Ryan Harpe
Groomsman
Ryan is a newer addition to the list of friends Josh has, but that doesn’t mean he is less of a friend than anyone else on that list. They met through another friend at a game of D&D. And when Ryan had a spot open up in his own weekly game, Josh leapt at the chance to join. Now, they spend most of their game nights chatting about life, or the latest funny/cool thing they saw or heard. Much to the dismay of the other party members who want to get back to the puzzle solving and roleplaying.
