Groom
Courtney Correll
Bride
Michael Zimmerman Jr.
Best Man
Mike and Esh met in their freshman year of college at PBU in 2007. He was originally impressed by Esh's measured and tactical approach to dodgeball. They would go on to bond over football, movies, four-square, intramural sports, and generally enjoyed hanging out all the time. They would go on to live together in two different apartments. They've been youth group leaders together and have been friends for over 17 years. Esh was in Mike's wedding, and they've been groomsmen together several times before. Mike is super pumped to be Esh's best man as he marries the wonderful Courtney. Mike is married to Anna and they have 4 children together. Mike and Anna met Courtney on an Escape Room (first time) double date and both liked her right away. She is so perfect for Esh. They were both blessed to be a part of the Escape Room (second time) proposal. You will see them on the dance floor at the reception.
Cassidy Wachter
Matron of Honor
It was a beautiful day in August, 2015, and my first day of training to be a Magic Kingdom Cast Member in the Disney College Program. I was walking with my tour group through the tunnels beneath the park (yes, they’re real), all of us fascinated by the trivia and history our guide was sharing. All of us… except one. “ThE oNe At DiSnEyLaNd Is BeTtEr,” came a voice from across the group. And that is how I met Courtney. 10 years, 6 parks, a wedding (mine) and a cross-country move (hers) later, and Courtney is still the best Disney souvenir I’ve ever found. I’m so honored to stand by you as you and Esh reach out and find your Happily Ever After!

Best Man
We met once.
Brianna Rocco
Maid of Honor
ACTION. ADVENTURE. DAZZLING VAMPIRES. SINGING! LOTS OF SINGING! These are a few things (yes, all in caps in attempts to convey the energy with which we do all things) that Courtney and I have bonded over during our time as friends. Upon meeting Courtney I was lucky enough to find myself in her chosen circle of people she trusts to bring joy to her life. From Disney trips (where she captured the moment I got engaged in front of the muppet fountain. R.I.P.!) to making our teen dreams a reality by visiting Forks Washington, Courtney has been a bright star and a dependable rock all in one. I can’t wait to be there by her side as her Maid of Honor on one of the most special days in her life.
Jordan Buchmann
Best Man
Jordan and Esh have been locked in a 20-year battle of "Made You Look."
Savannah Cochran
Bridesmaid
Hi, my name is Savannah. I’m the bride’s cousin and basically her sister, too. One of my favorite memories with her is our Disney World trip, especially our time in Downtown Disney. Wandering the shops, laughing over snacks, and just soaking in the atmosphere were simple moments, but they were ours, and I’ll always treasure them. Our bond means so much to me, and I’m truly honored to be part of this celebration.
Brennen Fleming
Groomsman
We likely met with Esh gifting me a dodgeball to the face, where he then laughed and said "Hi." We were 5 years old. Never looked back.
Tina DeStefano
Bridesmaid
Tina and Courtney met shortly after they both moved to Jersey and instantly clicked. While they initially bonded over their love for dogs and crafts, they really became best friends through their church. This is where they started singing together on the worship team. Tina and her fiancé, Dylan, have really enjoyed getting to know Esh and they look forward to more sushi double dates with the newly weds!

Groomsman
Sarah Drecksage
Bridesmaid
I met Courtney through my sister-in-law, Cassidy, and we instantly bonded over our shared love of Disney and animals. One of my favorite memories with her is when we attended a cow wedding, yes you read that correctly COW wedding! We were able to play with, walk and feed baby cows and play with little piglets, my son was only 3 months old at the time, but she made sure to help me anyway she could while making it such an enjoyable day! When my son was born, she couldn’t wait to meet him, and her excitement meant so much! Courtney is a truly lovely, genuine, amazing friend, and I’m so thrilled for her and Ryan as they start this next chapter together!
