Jenny and Michael
Wedding Party
John Pinto
Best Man
My #1 dude since the second grade. We competed over everything and that led to two fights even haha. (0-2, me lol). We have been through so much together and have always been by each other’s side. We always had one another’s backs. I wouldn’t be where I am without Johnny- no question! He is my brother and the best friend I have ever had. Love this kid (still can’t beat me in driveway or real hoops)
Jesse McCoy
Maid of Honor
My college teammate, spiritual warrior. my rock and I think at one point I said if anything ever happens to me... just call Jesse she'll know what to do. I had the privilege of playing college soccer at Towson University with Jesse and attending Athlete's in Action. She has two incredible boys JJ & Justus, and a Rockstar husband named John who is a Chaplain for the Navy. She also has baby #3 on the way who will hopefully arrive in April and then to his first wedding to celebrate with us! Just look for the super cute baby in a tux. :) Jesse is a RN and lives in Chesapeake, Virginia.
Adam
Groomsman
My Brother oldest. He was gone at USC during my middle years so our relationship really blossomed when I was older and visited him many times on work trips. And that’s where I really took an appreciation for how smart Adam truly is. Love him. Love the father he is to my sweet niece Kira. And Adam is a serious weight lifter. He once paid my gym fee of $20.00 at a NY gym just so I would work out with him. Pretty savage dude in the gym. Love and respect my brother Adam very much
Jason
Groomsman
Brother. My biggest competitor growing up. Through all of the fighting we had love for one another. We drove our parents nuts that’s for sure. Love you Jay.
Charlie
Groomsman
Jenny’s brother and one cool and adventurous dude! First time I met him he put us up in a hotel room in Baltimore! How awesome is that. We partied pretty hard that night and needless to say I wasn’t feeling too hot for afternoon crabs with their family. Charlie is very intelligent and someone I have a lot of respect for. I am excited to introduce him to my best friends.
Corey (nephew)
Groomsman
My nephew! Love you so much COREY. We have traveled to Universal Studio. Clearwater FL. Dunedin FL. San Diego. NYC. DC. The White House. And many many PHILLIES AND EAGLES games. My goal is at least one phillies and eagles game per season. I love corey so much. I love watching him grow into the man God made him to be. We have fun together. And I love watching him grow up.
Logan
Groomsman
Jenny’s nephew. Wise beyond his years. Very smart. And I often have to step up my game when playing with and against him in sports because he is so good! I cannot wait to continue to see him grow and develop into a man. The world is very lucky to have Logan and so are his 2 younger brothers! He is a great young man!
Corey Hu
Groomsman
My best friend at work and someone that keeps me focused on God. Without corey who knows where I would be in my walk with Christ. I have corey to thank for that wholeheartedly. I love Corey. I drive him nuts yes but he deals with me and we always laugh and have a great time. We understand our strengths and weaknesses so well. And that’s why we are so darn close. Love Corey and I would do anything in the world for him. He is my brother in Christ and I thank God for our friendship! He leads a Third Saturday Homeless ministry in DC that Jenny and I regularly attend. And will continue to.
Nick
Groomsman
My tallest and vegan best friend. King of jokes. Second in pranks. Love this kid. Played sports together our whole lives and Nick is always a blast to hang out with. Definitely someone who is always there for me and I love him and I’m super thankful for his friendship. Best decision I ever made was going to his wedding in KEY WEST- best time ever.
Todd
Groomsman
Loyal. Huge heart. True definition of a Philly sports fan. Authentic as heck! Love Todd. He’s always been there for me. Easton football- we both went through a lot and #9 and #99 always were side by side. A blast to hang out with. Fun. Loves sports and my true best friend. Acapulco nights. Austin. New Orleans. Dewey. Thank you Todd for being a true best friend.
Jared
Groomsman
My best friend since 1st grade. Loyal. Great friend. And always fun to hang out with. Played sports together in our younger days and My barber during my high school days. We always played sports together. My neighbor growing up so we always picked Tom up and rode bikes. Lived with him in college (closet) and had a blast there. We drove to Key West for spring break and had a blast. A true best friend and is always there for me. To define Jared....dude travels around the world to come to my wedding!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
Tommy
Groomsman
My ride or die as a youngster. We would do our paper routes together and then just ride bikes, hit the gym and then cause absolute ruckus at the Palmer Pool. We did everything together as kids. Tom was as loyal as anyone I had ever met. Love Tommy. We went to OCMD nearly every single summer. Wildwood. Ft Laud. Key West. New Orleans. AC. The list goes on and on. Tom is a great husband and father. I love Tom and he is a true best friend!
Kru Chris
Groomsman
Kru! My best friend at work and my Muay Thai instructor. Kru has always been there for me. He would do anything for me. Always checks up on me. Always makes sure I am okay. And defends me from all of the children we have at work gossiping haha! Love Chris. We have had a blast together at work and there’s always something going on when we are together and it usually results in him beating me up or tossing me over something (a chair). My brother beat me up as a kid and Chris now does it as an adult. So much respect for Chris and what he does with his Muay Thai gym.
Matt Trapani
Groomsman
My man Matt! So many good memories dating back to our science class in 11th grade. I could just end there. But I’ll reminisce a little about how competitive we were in gym class and our fun at football practices and even going to visit him many, many times at PSU. I even had my very very first ever sip of alcohol on my 21st birthday at his dads house. We traveled to Fort Lauderdale and represented the Bushwackers very well and then traveled to Acapulco and met this large man who danced well and promised us- a House. So many great memories w Matt. Even that time when I was a temporary cowboys fan Bc of Terrell Owens (who we met in Miami). A very loyal, do anything for you type of best friend!
Kelly Colson
Bridesmaid
My one and only sister and friend! She has been my rock for most of my life and has three incredible boys: Logan, Will and Cash. She works full time as a mom and full time while assisting her husband Raymond (my brother in law) managing their landscaping business. They most recently are living their dream and bought a large property in Western Maryland. One of many things I love about my sister is she always has my back! She is fiery, passionate and if I ever needed her to take someone out... she's my girl! She also loves her inner circle hard. She has a big heart!
Liz Schatz
Bridesman
My Hawaii friend! Liz unfortunately will not be able to attend in person, but she will be with us in spirit. Liz and I lived together for a short stint in college. She joined me in Rwanda, Africa for three months back in 2008 and lived for a brief stint in Ukraine doing mission work and assisting an orphanage. She tends to visit me where ever I am in the world or I visit her. :) We've been known to be asked if we are sisters when we are together and she is probably one of the few people I am friends with who I can say I am taller then. :) She lives full time in Hawaii and works as a healthcare administrator. If you ever want an encouraging word... call Liz. One of my favorite things has always been spending the day with Liz and taking a hike.
Cassie Chapman
Bridesmaid
If you want to go out and do something fun, Cassie is your wing woman! She is my ying to my yang! We have been known to ride scooter's after drinking margaritas through her neighborhood separately and together... dress up in crazy outfits (you can find anything in Cassie's closet!) and ride horses after a few drinks in the dark.... did I mention... mine only had one eye! Cassie is a professional equestrian, my trainer, business partner and my dear friend. She has two incredible children Gauge and Brooklyn. She lives in Katy, TX. She is also a pretty hardcore bowler! She is one of the most generous, loving people I know. She would do anything for her loved ones and she has a way of bringing out the best in people!
Carie Patrick
Bridesmaid
On a daily basis Carie is managing four kids, probably three, maybe even four dogs... I've lost count.... :), a full time equestrian farm with lots of horses, a full time job and more! Carie, Cassie and I have been through in a very short time hurricanes, more floods and rain, broken hearts, sick kids, sick dogs, and a lot of life's ups and downs then we could count! She has been my spiritual rock when things got tough. Carie is the mom to Kaylynn, Cole, Katerina, and Jackson and married to the incredible Jeff. She lives in Damon, TX. Her special talent among MANY... chasing her dreams and making them a reality! She is an inspiration to me and all.
Alicia McDowell
Bridesmaid
Alicia and I knew each other through college and Young Life and reconnected after I moved back from Texas to Maryland. She has been an incredible friend to me, a strong encourager through this season and transition of my life. She also conveniently lives a few miles from Michael in Virginia, so she has been able to see our relationship first hand. She was there for me after the first date and the many that followed to help me analyze.... is this guy for real?! Alicia works in medical device sales and was the previous Executive Director of Araminta an organization that helps woman get out of sex trafficking. She is an incredible friend to so many. She always calls just to say hello. She is so smart, talented, bold and beautiful!
Amy Reinicke
Bridesmaid
Amy and I lived together in Rwanda, Africa and were known as tall Amy and short Jenny. We did so much together while living abroad and were pretty inseparable. She has been there for me more times then I could count and bailed me out of a few situations while living abroad. Forget my keys... Amy's got me. Loose my phone... yep Amy found it. Need a ride... She's there. Craving for rice and beans... Amy's got you. She spent ten years in Rwanda, while I spent a measly 3.5 compared to her. Prior to her kiddies, Amy worked as an elementary teacher. She sings and reads about 5 books in a weekend ;). Amy is married to the amazing Josh who is a marine and they have two cute kids while most recently stationed in Japan. They will be moving back from Japan to North Carolina in April!
Anna Koclanes
Bridesmaid
Anna always brings the soul, the good energy and the laughter! She is probably one of the most enthusiastic people I know. Anna and I have been through a few tough breaks and too many late nights then I can count together writing college papers. Anna and I worked together on our MBA's at Colorado State University while attending the Global Social Sustainable Enterprise program. She would always brightened my day when she would come strolling in! Anna has a huge heart and smile! She always lights up a room. She lives in Johnstown, Colorado and has the wildly entertaining toddler Richard James!
William Dailey
Man of Honor
The life of the party! He is a pretty special guy who knows how to have fun! He's incredibly loving and thoughtful. He also loves playing soccer, which makes his Aunt Jenny extremely happy. If you did not know any better. you might just think he belongs to me! We just get each other. :) Since the day we asked him to join us in the wedding.... whenever we talk about his role he always runs back to his room to make sure his Secret Service pin is still where he left it. Why? ... Because he wants to display it proudly and make Michael proud on our day.
Cash Colson
Man of Honor
Another special little guy who has the sass to back up his personality! He loves Mickey Mouse, trucks and tractors. If all goes well he will assist his momma (my sister) down the isle and give a few waves!
