Brianna & Cody
Wedding Party
Nicole Nixon
Matron of Honor
As the little tot I once was, having an older sister meant having an instant best friend and role model. It also meant following her every move and inviting myself to any playdate she'd have. Today, Nicole is still my role model. I look up to her, am proud of her accomplishments, and am beyond grateful to have someone to give me honest advice and allow me to be unapologetically me. Nicole and Cody have been friends since 5th grade and she is definitely the person who led me to my soulmate. Our inside jokes, memories, and sarcasm has created an indescribable bond. I feel blessed having a sister who is equally my best friend.
Brady Mai
Best Man
Want to know how to fix something? Want to know which running back to pick in your fantasy draft? Want to know anything, really? Brady is the guy to call. Brady's one of the most honest dudes you'll ever meet. He's really good at making decisions and is always down to have a good time. From sipping on Corona Light at the beach to having 38 "Brooke, Brady, Bri, & Cody" phone conversations a day, the memories just keep getting better!
Emily King
Bridesmaid
My best friend since elementary school, Emily is my soul friend. Although "goody goods" to our teachers, the only time we'd get kicked out of class was for uncontrollably laughing at most of the time, nothing! We spent our awkward years with mouths full of braces and photoshoots of our hermit crabs in Barbie's dream house. Emily has always been a supportive friend to me. From making gingerbread houses every Christmas (since third grade to after college) to celebrating her wedding as her Maid of Honor, our memories and friendship have only grown stronger!
Greg Miserendino
Groomsman
Best friends since first grade, Cody and Greg sat at the pink table at lunch, and looked forward to chicken nuggets and smiley fries. Their friendship hasn't changed much since! Shortly into this thing called "adulting," Greg and Cody lived together in Hampden, Baltimore. Visiting on weekends, the three of us would either spend our weekends going out in charm city or watching die-hard America movies. However, we'd always end them with Sunday breakfasts at Cafe Han. A friend to have heart-to-hearts with and a friend to have the best times with, Greg is an all around great guy.
Alli Janney
Bridesmaid
Beep, beep, beep... fresh, baked cookies made from scratch are ready to be served with a colossal scoop of ice cream and every sprinkle you can imagine. This would accurately depict many of our hang out sessions in middle and high school, along with chatting non stop about everything and anything and laughing until our bellies hurt. (Or maybe that was from too much ice cream!) Alli's always been a best friend to me. No matter the situation, we've always had each others' back. And no matter the distance apart, we've always put in the effort to phone chat on our long commutes home or visit each other. Someone who loves to be spontaneous and is down to do anything, Alli's the "cherry on top" kind of friend.
Ryan Kudla
Groomsman
A friendship that started with pillow fights in middle school, Cody and Ryan ended up rooming together in college. Both had goals to graduate from Penn State University and the two of them made it happen! Being one of the nicest guys we know, we are convinced Ryan's heart is made of gold. He has always been supportive of Cody's endeavors and wanting the best for him. Although he now lives in North Carolina, the saying "only a phone call away" is really true with these two.
Emily Smith
Bridesmaid
Emily and I met in middle school. I was counting in Spanish class which somehow turned into singing "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and then ended in laughing uncontrollably. The rest is history so I guess you could say weirdness attracts weirdness! Equally a friend you can vent to about life's crazy moments as well as a friend that can make you laugh, Emily's always been someone I can count on. Our early years involved being badass on the field hockey field, eating Miss Gina's notorious snacks such as chip and dip, and having movie/nail nights almost every weekend. Today, we still eat too much chip and dip and I'd like to think we are still badass. However, more importantly, our friendship still consists of nothing but supportiveness of each other and memories full of smiles.
Ryan Abbott
Groomsman
It's difficult to pin-point the start of their friendship because Cody and Ryan have always been friends. Living in the same neighborhood meant hanging out every weekend, causing havoc a little too often, and playing all kinds of games. Whether it be video games, drinking games, or a quick game of basketball, Cody doesn't remember winning. And even through Cody losing all the games, flying off the back of Ryan's car, and spending 48 hours a weekend together, you'd think they'd get sick of each other, but no. Any time spent together is a good time full of laughter.
Brooke Mai
Bridesmaid
It was either our men that first brought us together or White Claw. Brooke's the type of person you could talk to for hours and always have a good time with. No, really... We can be stuck in a car for hours together and have the best time! She's my tanning buddy, road trip pal, and Spiked Sparking Water partner in crime. While the age of our friendship is young, it feels like we've been friends forever. I can't help but smile knowing that we will always be in each other's lives.
Tyler Seabolt
Groomsman
There was a new kid at South Western High School and his name was Tyler. You'd think being new would equal to being shy and wanting to be accepted, but Tyler was just the opposite. Long hair, from Baltimore, and proud of his hip-hop knowledge, the friendship began when Tyler marched up to Cody and asked for a ride to school. It must have been a pretty stellar drive, since they drove together every day onward. Two things that come to mind when I think of their friendship are laughter and imagination. So many times I'd remember these improvised stories they'd act out with friends and wonder "WTH is going on?" I fondly remember an intense, pretend interrogation with large spoons, alcohol, & accents. Although these scenes couldn't be more fake, their friendship is nothing but real.
Haley Daigneault
Bridesmaid
I always wanted a little sister, so God blessed me with my cousin, Haley. A day short of 8 years apart, we've had a range of incredible memories. From holding her as a baby to teaching her how to play field hockey in the backyard, I've watched Haley blossom into a beautiful and intelligent young woman. Four years ago on Black Friday, Cody made up an excuse to show up at Kohl's at midnight where we were shopping, and four years later Haley and I still laugh about it. Haley's not just my cousin, but she's also my friend and I can't wait to have her by my side our special day.
Justin Mundorff
Groomsman
Being brothers meant many of their days consisting of knocking out a family sized pack of Oreos, fighting over chips and salsa, and stealing each other's baseball cards when the other wasn't looking. Although they are five years apart and never went to the same school at the same time, some things were undeniably the same. One being their passion for all Philly's sports. Both will scream at the TV when the Eagles are losing and both are in multiple fantasy leagues. Also, their unconditional brotherly love for each other and their desire to look out for each other's best interest. From as long as I've known them, they've always had such a warm, honest friendship with each other. A hug hello and a hug goodbye, you can tell their hearts are related.
