Anna & Henry
Wedding Party
Emma Feeney
Maid of Honor
Anna's forever roommate who is the best listener and most supportive! Anna will always cherish their years together and the unsaid support and encouragement they had for one another. Also, they date brothers so what else in the world do you want.
Sam Harsel
Best Man
You may not guess it from how much they look alike, but Sam is actually Henry's younger brother. From playing sports in the backyard to playing sports in the front yard, the two have done it all together. And yes, we get it, Sam is taller than Henry.
Nicole Richards
Maid of Honor
Anna's cousin who has served as a role model her whole life! They both wanted a sister growing up and never got one so we unconciously decided they would be each other's sisters. Their mothers are best sister friends so it just made sense. Nicole is too much fun!
Ben Harsel
Groomsman
Ben is Henry's oldest brother. Ben has more VHS tapes than Henry has friends, and while it may not seem that impressive because Henry doesn't seem to have many friends, it still is impressive how many tapes Ben has. You just kinda have to trust me on this one.
Alyssa Brown
Bridesmaid
Anna & Lyss have been friends throughout this whole crazy life, through nancy drew days, advisee mornings, chilis dates, & the highest highs and lowest lows. She is a faithful friend who makes me enjoy this life to the full ! She is an adopted Stidham & will always be a part of their crazy family.
Luke Harsel
Groomsman
Luke is older than Henry and Sam but younger than Ben. It is normally at this point that people realize there were 4 Harsel brothers and say "your poor mother!" Well Luke is her favorite anyway so at least she has him.
Hannah Arnold
Bridesmaid
Hannah is wise beyond her years & the best person to get loving advice from. She keeps Anna sane & intact with her peaceful presence- she is captivating & an encourager ! If you don't know her well, you want to. Her friendship is life-changing!
Michael Stidham
Groomsman
Michael is Anna's oldest brother. & No, your eyes are not deceiving you. That is a picture of Michael wearing a kilt. While Henry has never had a picture taken of him in a kilt, he does have a couple donning a unitard. But that's a story for another day.
Olivia Longo
Bridesmaid
Some say liv is the younger version of Anna because of how alike their personalities & styles are ! Anna & liv met through Towson's YL and quickly became friends because of her consistency & the way she loves her people so sweetly. She also is the most creative & talented artsy person - most of the wedding signage etc is her work!
Patrick Quackenbush
Groomsman
Henry and Patrick got to live together in the basement of their place in college. Patrick was the closest any of Henry’s roommates ever came to beating Henry in ping pong. Trust me when I say that’s a big deal.
Emily Beaver
Bridesmaid
Anna & Em met on summer staff at lake champion & Anna promised her if she moved to Towson she would be in our wedding. She moved up shortly after & they became roommates, the best decision ever! She is so loyal & a forever kinda friend!
Noah Garabedian
Groomsman
Henry and Noah are always on the same page, as you can tell from both of them putting on their biggest smile for this picture. Also, both of them have gone unshaven for the same amount of time in this picture.
Emma Stidham
Bridesmaid
Anna's Sister (in law) !!!! They have known each other for a while now but Emma is now engaged to Anna’s oldest brother. They’ve gotten to plan their weddings side-by-side which is a joy!! No one she would be more honored to have as her sister !
Zach Keepers
Groomsman
Zach and Henry led Young Life together while at UMD together. What Zach lacks in height he makes up for in dedication to his work, humor, and optimism. All of which have rubbed off on Henry (except for the height thankfully).
Janis Cox
Bridesmaid
Janis has changed Anna’s life by being one of the best encouragers and sweetest mentor turned amazing friend! We have both felt so pursued by the Cox family & they way they love their people! We adore Janis more than words.
Greg Thompson
Groomsman
When Greg met Henry, Greg’s favorite movie was Suicide Squad. Thankfully, Henry introduced Greg to better movies, and now Greg says thing like ‘cinematography’ and prefers to call them ‘films’.
Kelli Swensen
Bridesmaid
Kelli was one of Anna's first younglife girls who became one of her closest friends throughout the years. Time with her is always a joy and Anna is so thankful their relationship went from YL leader-kid to very close friends!
Jack Garabedian
Groomsman
Jack was one of the first people Henry met when he got to college. The two eventully became roomates and even friends by the time they both left UMD. They've even brushed each others' teeth. You can reach your molars a lot better when you brush your own teeth, though.
Megan Bailey
Honorary Bridesmaid & Personal Assistant
Oh Megan- this gem of a human is incredible. I am convinced, she is the reason so many things in this world are held together. Megan is the most organized and detail-oriented person we know and we thought who better than to be with us and help us make the day run smoothly than someone we trust more than anything and who will knock it out of the park. We are so honored she is going to be our behind the scenes help because we love her dearly !!!
Kennedy & Sydney Ellot
Flower Girl
Anna's cousin Lindsey has two sweet little girls who are the best dancers and too fun!! Also, Kennedy is Anna's Goddaughter, which is an honor. These two are hard to keep your eyes off of- just adorable !
Macie Thate
Flower Girl
Macie is Anna's cousin Erin's first born!! Since the day she was born, Anna has been obsessed with her sweet Macie girl! Macie is the most dear little girl you will ever meet, the kindest little soul !
Jake & Griff Cox
Ring Bearer
These two boys have been in our lives for many years now and have brought more joy to it than we could imagine. Many mornings spent watching them were the highlight of Anna's college years. Their momma is one of Anna's favorite people ever & their father is an amazing area director of younglife for baltimore county.
