Ariane & Ethan
Wedding Party
Andrea Wirtner
Maid of Honor
Andrea doubles as my sister & my best friend. I am so thankful to have her as a sister. I truly don’t know what I would do without her in my life. We have come a long way as sisters, since our childhood. I never expected us to be as close as we are. Andge is always there to ground me & remind me to look at situations from an empathetic perspective. Though we are quite different from one another, I always enjoy the time that we spend together. Andrea is also the life of most parties, she gets this from our Father.
Karlie Shook
Bridesmaid
Karlie started dating her husband & one of Ethan’s best friends, around the same time Ethan & I started dating. As we were nurturing relationships with our future spouses, we were also building a wonderful friendship with each other. Karlie has been a god send in my life. Truly one of my very best friends in my adult life. I would be lost without her. Her energy is infectious & she is who I call when I need some girl time and positivity in my life. What I love the most is that we can have fun together no matter what and Karlie is always up for anything.
Gabby Pagana
Bridesmaid
Gabby & I met on our study abroad trip to Australia. We were immediate friends. I guess that traveling across the world, petting kangaroos, and koala's is a solid base to a friendship, as well as watching Dexter crammed around her computer screen. Though Gabby moved to California after our time at Penn State, to go to Vet school & currently to practice Veterinary Medicine, we still remain close & up to date on each other’s lives. We try to see each other at least once a year. We refer to each other as the best possible roommates each of us could have asked for which developed into a lifetime friendship.
Emily Boone
Bridesmaid
I actually met Emily for the first time at her own wedding, five years ago. Funny story, I guess you could say I crashed their wedding as Ethan brought me as a date, without RSVPing me as a date. I actually don’t even think he was allotted a date... Emily was gracious enough to find me a seat. Our friendship has blossomed from there. Having good, tight knit girlfriends with great fashion sense, in your adult life has proven to be important and I’m thankful that Emily is one of mine. She will certainly have a seat at our wedding (:
