Calen & Hailey
Wedding Party
Alana Bortner
Maid of Honor
From high school sports teammates to sharing basically everything in childhood and teenage years... meet one of my maids of honor! We are the two siblings who get the "you look so much alike" comment the most. Fun fact: You won't miss Alana walking down the aisle, as she is a whole 5 inches taller than me.
Karli Bortner
Maid of Honor
You read that right, another maid of honor! Karli is my youngest sibling, and arguably the most similar to me. We share a love for science/anatomy, youtube videos, knee surgeries, and cranberry juice. She will definitely be one of the first ones on the dance floor.
Elizabeth Laatsch
Bridesmaid
My little ray of sunshine, Lizzie! Liz and I met at Lock Haven, and we have been attached at the hip since. She is the organized to my disorganized, and always knows how to have a good time. If you need a shoulder to cry on, or a tide to-go stick, Lizzie is your girl!
Mckenzi Divers
Bridesmaid
My first friend in college, Miss. Kenzi Divers! We are one of the few who roomed together all four years of college. We may have set the fire alarms off 4 different times in our freshmen dorm making popcorn, but I wouldn't have changed it for the world. Kenz always has her dancing shoes on!
Emily Ickes
Bridesmaid
Meet Dr. Emily Ickes, yes you read that right, Doctor! We met in undergrad and had almost every class together, along with living together for two years. One of the sweetest people I know. Em just graduated with her doctorate of physical therapy, so if there are any sprained ankles please go see her!
Stephanie Mangels
Bridesmaid
Miss Steph Mangels! We met in grad school, became lab partners, and instantly clicked becoming best friends. Living just a block away for two years in Philly has been nothing but the best. Steph has never turned down a dinner, night out, or crazy idea. She can be found with a vodka soda in her hand, and singing every lyric to every song that is played. (I have never played a song that Steph doesn't know)
Morgan Cutler
Bridesmaid
Meet Miss Morgan Cutler! Another grad school classmate who instantly became one of my best friends. If you need someone to call, Morgan will always pick up the phone. Watch out, if she has a little too much to drink she will be talking in a country accent for the rest of the night. Fun fact: Morgan is from Florida, but still manages to be one of the biggest Eagles fans I know
John McCarthy
Best Man
One of my best men and also my oldest brother. John is a character. We did everything together growing up from waking up before school to make sure we didn't miss our morning Avatar episode, to playing lots of basketball in both high school and college together. Like Alana, you will not miss him walking down the aisle as he is well over the 6 foot mark.
Shea Ulmer
Best Man
My other best man. Still waiting on the day he beats me in a game of basketball. Shea, or shea-bae, is the youngest of my siblings and loves all things sports, just like me.
Nicholas Russo
Groomsman
One of my oldest friends and a member of the “Real Talk” group chat. Nick and I and have a long history going back to drinking for the first time together all the way up to now both of us living in Philly.
Quinten Persun
Groomsman
Another OG, Quinten (aka QP, aka ScHoolboy Q), has been one of my best friends since elementary school. Being roommates at Lock Haven, we did just about everything together and people always thought we were brothers.
Aaron Cipriani
Groomsman
Cip, my guy, the last member of the “Real Talk” group chat on this list. Throughout our lives we’ve found ourselves in some interesting situations, but you always knew it would work out if Aaron had anything to do with it.
Colin Bortner
Groomsman
Colin started out as Hailey’s brother and quickly because a very good friend of mine. Hailey has continuously said Colin and I would definitely have been friends in high school because of our similar interests. Colin is always throwing together a great fit and will give great advice on a fit for you.
Connor Weikert
Groomsman
Connor started out as Hailey’s cousin, more like her brother, and quickly became a good friend of mine as well. He’s also the best president, treasurer and team captain our Philly recreational basketball team could have asked for.
