Wedding Party
Michelle Corder
Maid of Honor
Michelle has been my best friend since before I can remember. While we often are the sole reason each other got into way too much trouble in our younger days, she is also the reason I stayed sane for the majority of my life, the reason I succeeded so far academically, and the reason I always felt that I was never alone.
Charlee Richardson
Matron of Honor
My best friend, my confidant, my SISTER. The person I call on a bad day, the person I call on a good day. The person I bully into drinking with me even when she has to work at 8 AM the next day. I'm grateful Andrew found ya every day!
Molly Kurtz
Bridesmaid
Someone who has been there for me forever. I can't even remember a time of my life when you weren't in it. The person I go to for advice or for a laugh. The most lovely, caring, and genuine person I know or will ever know. The person who can make me laugh even when I'm crying. HANDS DOWN THE BEST DANCER AT THIS WEDDING.
Claire Caruso
Bridesmaid
My Clairebear. One of the constants of my life. I couldn't imagine life without you, I think it would be incredibly boring. I love and adore you, and am incredibly appreciative to have you.
Alex Greene
Bridesmaid
I can't explain how extremely difficult it was for me to type "Greene" instead of "Richardson" for her last name! My lovely cousin, who I look up to in so many ways, who often understands me in ways no one can. On my wedding day, she is due to have her firstborn daughter: Josie Raye Greene!
Libby Altmeyer
Bridesmaid
My oldest friend. Probably the person who can say she knows me the best (besides maybe Andrew? Maybe Dylan?), because she has been there for every single portion of my life and has influenced it for the better. Couldn't have made it through some of the hardest times without you. Couldn't have enjoyed some of the best times without you.
Cassie Sorge
Bridesmaid
Cassandra- my partner in crime for so many years. The most loyal, who has been on my side even when we both knew I was wrong. Willing to defend me and support me through every decision. Always there for me!
Cadi Duplaga
Bridesmaid
I have one over-protective, older, perfect brother, and an incredible sister-in-law, but I obviously never grew up with a sister, or a younger sibling. The closest thing I had to a little sister was you. You are caring and beautiful inside and out. You are always game for whatever, and I can't imagine life now or growing up without you. As always, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for you!
Lauren Kirby
Bridesmaid
If I look at Cadi as a little sister, I can say there is only one person who filled the role as an older sister for me, and that was Lauren Baker. No one else who looked out for me and protected me throughout my life. A wonderful mother, a perfect wine drinking partner, and a great friend, even when separated by distance and life. Couldn't imagine this day without you!
Conor Cosgrove
Best Man
My best friend since pre-school, a friendship that has overcome time and distance- from London to Huntington, WV. The person who has always been there and I can count on for anything. Cheers to my best man.
Andrew Richardson
Groomsman
While I'm thankful for having incredible friends who felt like brothers to me, I have always wanted a sibling. It will be incredible to officially be able to say you are my brother as well as my friend. Can't wait to welcome me to the family in style!
Cory Gabrielli
Groomsman
People can't imagine the stories we can tell about each other after living together for three years in college. Time and memories I wouldn't change for anything. You are always there for me, and I'm lucky to call you one of my best friends. It's gonna be LIT.
David Schlake
Groomsman
David, AKA Gooch, is the funniest person I had the privilege of meeting at WVU. One of most loyal and trustworthy friends I could ask for.
Shane Greskevitch
Groomsman
My first friend from Wheeling, WV- so if we were never friends, would I have ever met my fiancé? So Alyssa and Libby, who is actually responsible for us meeting? You are always an amazing friend, can't imagine not having you in my life.
Justin Alfon
Groomsman
Over a decade of friendship with a lot of bonding (and arguments) over soccer! Wouldn't have it any other way.
David Scala
Groomsman
Really happy our last names both start with "Sc". My friend since the first day of high school, who is always there when I need him. Thanks for being you.
Marilyn Richardson
Mother of the Bride
My role model for my entire life. While I am not exactly like her, I do have to say the majority of my good qualities have come from her. She is wise, thoughtful, loving, and my favorite wine drinking partner. Mom, I would not be the person I am today without you. I love you with everything I am. Thank you so much for everything.
Andy Richardson
Father of the Bride
Aaaaaaaand, my twin. The person I inherited my anger issues from, but also the person I inherited my work ethic and the ability to love so deeply that there is nothing you wouldn't do for a person. Dad, I am who I am because of you. You are appreciated by myself, Dylan, Andrew, and Charlee every single day and so much more than you know. I love you so much.
Debbie Schaffer
Mother of the Groom
This is the strongest person I know, the strongest person I will ever know. A person who has been through things most people can't imagine, and has come through it still looking at the world and seeing its beauty. Mom, you are an incredible and amazing human being. The way you look at the world is inspiring and has affected both me and Sam for the better. I love you so much.
Dave Schaffer
Father of the Groom
The most hard working and loving person I know. You push me to be the best person that I can be, and I wouldn't be where I am without you. You inspire me everyday and I know you're always there for me. Also- Sam wouldn't be very happy in life without your bourbon, so thank you for that as well. I love you.
