Theresa & Daniel
Our People
Joseph Hier
Ring Bearer
and honorary Best Man. Joe and the groom go way back to 2015. He is a big fan of Paw Patrol, the Incredibles, and Captain America. With his "Hier sense of humor" he'll quickly make you forget any wrongdoing with his contagious laugh and sweet smile. He and the bride enjoy banter over kid's movies. His best buddy is his Papa Hier.
Gianna Kitzler
Flower Girl
Giana is our 8-year-old flower girl. She is a lover of unicorns and is a huge fan of "Say Yes to the Dress" and helped the bride pick out her wedding dress (ask her about it when you see her). She's enjoyed summers up north with the bride's family and helped find them find theperfect Christmas Tree last year. She is a self professed "picky eater". Her mom is Michelle.
Mary Osbourn
Maid of Honor
Mary is Theresa's little "squisher" (or sister for normal people). As kids they fought more than mom could bear but as adults they've grown to appreciate one another. They enjoy sharing pictures of furry creatures, Saturdays binge watching Harry Potter and eating Thai food, and talks about life. Mary has become one of the bride’s best friends - even if she drives her nutso some days. (Love you squish!)
Keith Kimmel
Best Man
Another long-time friend of the groom, Keith and Dan go way back to elementary school. Outdoorsman extraordinaire and lover of all things Ford, Keith and Dan participated in the Gambler 500 where they raced a $500 or less beater car around the mitten state - breaking down and fixing as they went. Keith is a dad to 3 wonderful kiddos; Lee, Eli, and Josie.
Anne Barton
Bridesmaid
Favorite and only sister to the groom, Anne is Dan in female form. She is a new momma to Jack and a proud aunt to Joe, who she likes to FaceTime every chance she gets. Her and Dan have a shared love of The Office and videos of people falling. Their sense of humor is really only understood between the two of them.
John Barton
Groomsman
Brother-in-law to the groom, new dadd-o, and all around funny guy. The first time Dan met John - John used a pie for comedic relief. At first, Theresa wasn't sure if the insults between John and Dan were playful or genuine. When the bride met John, she felt like she had known him forever. Ask him his favorite Christmas movie.
Sarah Osbourn
Bridesmaid
Sarah has been a staple in the Osbourn family since she ordered double mashed potatoes during her first family dinner at Texas Roadhouse (Theresa knew Ben got a winner). Over the years, Sarah and Theresa have enjoyed traveling, shoe shopping, and country line dancing at Coyote Joes.
Benjamin Osbourn
Groomsman
Ben - or as Theresa likes to call him "Bean" - is the older brother of the bride. Their mom tells the story that Ben was super excited to get a baby sister (there are pictures to prove it). Ben and Theresa have a shared love of history like their dad. He's cool as a cucumber. His better half is Sarah.
Gwen Locricchio
Bridesmaid
Gwen is Theresa's "big sister from another mister". Gwen and her green thumb taught Theresa about plants at Wiegand's nursery when they worked together. They've helped mend each other's hearts after break-ups and seen each other through some of the best and worst times in their lives ('I see you'). Their friendship has seen it all through. Gwen is a momma to 2 energetic little boys, Domenic and Sonny.
Ryan Cronkite
Groomsman
Ryan and Dan go back to their days in the navy. A stand-up comedian of sorts, he'll have you laughing until you don't know why your laughing. Ask him to play a card game but hold on to your seat...
Terri Richnak
Bridesmaid
Terri and "Ts" friendship has stood the test of distance and time. They met at a party through a mutual friend and wound up years later with an unbreakable friendship. Terri has made many moves (from NC to NJ) but her and the bride's visits to see each other have kept them close. They shared their first Paris experience drinking wine and eating cheese under the Eiffel Tower together. Terri is a momma to 3 beautiful boys, Emmett, Harrison and Franklin.
Jason Esper
Groomsman
Dan's co-worker (work-husband?) that keeps him sane (or insane). Whether it's digging holes or arguing over different topics, these two dudes spend more time together than they do with their wife/fiancé. Another proud dad-to-be, Jason is a new dad to Jude.
Michelle Beattie
Bridesmaid
Michelle and Theresa met in German class at Oakland University. Michelle will say Theresa introduced herself and kind of weirded her out. She's bestowed the loving title of "Thir" to Theresa. They shared a mutual love of the Twilight series (Michelle is Team Jacob, Thir is Team Edward) but have transitioned to sharing more mature TV shows like Game of Thrones. They got to visit some GoT production sites during their tour of Ireland last year. She is mom to the flower girl, Giana Skye.
Brandon Brinker
Groomsman
Dan's best buddy since they were in elementary school. Brandon and Dan share a love of motorsports and motorcycles. They did a 1,000 mile motorcycle challenge ride, which took them into Canada, through New York, and Ohio. They finished the ride in 18 hours. And if you need to know only one thing about Brandon - the dude likes cats - so, from the brides perspective, he is a keeper!
