Bridesmaid
Arianna and Jessi met in a crowded, seedy dive bar just hours after Jessi had touched down in Pennsylvania from her beloved Michigan. The way all best friendships begin, right?? From concerts, to river floats, beach trips, and attempting to squeeze a queen-size mattress up a narrow staircase, Jessi has been there through all the ups and downs. As the most recent bride to this crew, she'll be lending a lot of support and decor to this bride-to-be!
Bridesmaid
Arianna & Katie met in the buzzing Hull Hall at Millersville University. Two psychology majors with an eternal love for emo music, tasty beers, and quietly judging people, they have remained close well beyond graduation. Their professional careers have brought them together, apart, and back together again (despite working in neighboring counties). Now it's time for this recent boy mom to let loose and party like we're back in e-courts!
Bridesmaid
A friendship developed in the whirlwind years of theChive PA, Kelsey has held on for this wild ride, surviving floats down the Shenandoah River and "trashcans" after 30. Despite being a fan of the wrong NHL team, she has great taste in music, beer, and cars. #SubieGang Our token mom, Kelsey has mastered the balance of having fun and avoiding jail time or hospitalization.
Bridesmaid
Jessie began as a friend-by-proxy. Our spouses were inseparable. Now we're just as close! A warrior mother of 3, Jessie has held her own at every Marshall Street party to date. (Though we can't say the same for her husband!) There's no one else I would drive an hour just to sit in the living room and bullshit with.
Groomsman
Jared is a life-long friend and drinking buddy of the groom. Often mistaken for brothers, they enjoy monthly poker nights. They have shared in many a house project: Jared helped tile Andy's floor and Andy helped paint Jared's house. An elevator mechanic by trade, Jared will help keep this celebration on the "up & up."
Groomsman
Kyle has been Andy's best friend since age 3. Practically a permanent resident of the Dean household as a child, Andy and Kyle played lots of football and video games together. Even today, hundreds of miles apart, they catch up over video games. Hopefully Kyle will bring the sunshine and positive vibes of Hawaii to our special day.
Groomsman
Zac is a childhood friend of Andy and card-carrying member of "The Breakfast Club." They played football and video games together. Despite several deployments, Zac and Andy have remained close, catching up over drinks at The Kindrick Bar.
Groomsman
Tyler and Andy met working at the butcher shop. While their professional lives have taken different paths, they continue to bond over brewing (and drinking, of course) good beers. Recently, Tyler has mentored Andy on home repairs and helped partially fund this wedding with lots and lots of odd jobs for the groom!
