Bride and Groom
Andrew and I met during college at a program called Science Honors. We quickly became friends and soon that friendship evolved into LOVE. Our first date was at a school dance where we were sure to break it down on the dance floor! We look forward to celebrating our marriage on the dance floor with each one of you.
Ring Bearer and Flower Girl
Andrew's niece and my nephew will be our flower girl and ring bearer for the ceremony (we might be biased, but they are the cutest kids EVER!)
Matron of Honor
"I am so glad to have Bella as not only my cousin, but my best friend! While I'm living in Virginia, I miss Bella all the time. Seeing her get married to her perfect match brings me more joy than I can express. I am so thankful to know these two, and so happy that Andrew is joining the family! I love you guys and am cheering you on forever and ever."
Best Man
Maid of Honor
"Hi! My name is Lillian Matton, and I am Bella's little sister. I am a student studying Music Education and my favorite color is brown! Bella is forever my best friend and I love her to death (I will die first before her, I refuse to live on this planet without my siblings)."

"I met Bella in kindergarten and we have been friends ever since, sharing so many milestones as we grew up. The most exciting one will be her wedding. I’m so excited that my smart, beautiful, fun friend found her soulmate!"

"I met Andrew when he was a camper at Camp Hickory Hill, and even back then he left a lasting impression on me (he was the biggest Stockader I'd ever seen!). Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of serving alongside him at Flower City Work Camp, leading cabins together, and later as program directors at camp. We were also roommates at Houghton right when Bella and Andrew started dating, which is when I became good friends with Bella too! I’m so excited for these two and can’t wait to celebrate their marriage!"
Bridesmaid
"My name is Heather, I’m from Horsham PA and I have known Bella for as long as I can remember. She has been one of my best friends since kindergarten and I feel so lucky to have known her all this time. Congratulations Bella and Andrew, wishing you lots of love and happiness in your marriage."

"I’ve known Andrew since we were students at the same school and church, and am honored to have had him in my life for all these years. Andrew’s one of my best friends and I’m blessed to have grown along side him in our faiths and in our lives in general so I’m so excited to share another milestone with him. When we graduated high school and went to different universities I spent the days keeping in contact and just waiting to meet up again, and when we did he brought Bella. I’m so happy to have been able to spend this past year getting to know Bella better and building a relationship with her not just as Andrew’s partner but as a new friend. I love getting to witness the joy they bring into each other’s lives and am eagerly awaiting this wedding!"

"Hi! My name is Chesnie and I live near Albany NY. I met Bella 4 years ago in College during my Freshman year and her Junior year. With Bella being a couple years older than me I looked up to her in many ways, and I’m so blessed that she’s become a best friend. I love that she makes the mundane things in life an adventure. A lot of my favorite moments are with her 🤍 I have so much love for Bella and Andrew, and I can’t wait to celebrate them (and to break it down on the dance floor) with you all on their special day!"

"Bella was my first and only roommate throughout all four years of college and was a huge answered prayer to me. After two semi awkward weeks of being roommates (lol) we realized we're basically the same person and I've never laughed so much in my life than when I lived with her for those four years. Bella is hilarious and so completely herself and that inspired me. I feel like I grew up with her in a way because those four years of college were very formative for both of us and I'm so grateful to have lived together in that season of life. I love you so much bella!!"

"Andrew and Caleb spent the last night of their Camp Hickory Hill Leader In Training Hike in 2017 talking about Star Wars and keeping everyone else awake; they have been close friends ever since. With Christian LaScala, they have collaborated on monumental achievements such as The Seuss Games and The Great Gopher War of 2022. Outside of Camp, Andrew and Caleb share a love of good television, pickup basketball, and anything they can laugh about. Caleb recently graduated from RIT with a BS in Mechanical Engineering."

"Bella and I met the first day I arrived in America, and I'm so thankful for her presence in my life. We were there for each other for so many ups and downs during college, and I'm not sure what I would have done without her there to support me in her logical yet comforting ways. PS. I so called it! I told you (Bella) in the first week of classes freshman year Andrew was into you lol. Look at you now, haha. I'm truly truly happy for the two of you. You make each other a better person, and I'm so happy to be witnessing your growth together."

"I met Andrew at Camp Hickory Hill. I was 15 at the time, and despite my lack of ability to clearly explain my thoughts, I knew there was something singularly wonderful about him. As I've gotten older, I've come to realize (and I'm sure anyone reading this understands too) that Andrew possesses a very rare intersection of qualities. He is legitimately brilliant (Science, could NOT be me...) and unbelievably funny, all under the umbrella of a self-aware thoughtfulness. So you could imagine my amazement when I visited Andrew at Houghton and met Bella who, in her own personal way, also has those traits to their fullest! It's a genuine honor to be a part of their wedding and celebrating their journey up to this point and on!"
