Wedding Party
Jessica Nobile
Bride
Thank you for stopping by our wedding website. It was a little grueling to put it together, but with Lisa and Isabella’s help , it all worked out. A little bit about me… I have dedicated my life to helping others as a social worker, but my greatest joy has been building a life with Chad and Maddie. I approach both my work and my relationships with endless patience, kindness, and a deep sense of care. Chad and I are so excited to celebrate the next chapter of our lives surrounded by the family and friends who have supported us on our journey. Thanks for taking part in our wedding!
Chad Couchenour
Groom
Thank you everyone for coming to our wedding website! I’d like to say I built this site for your viewing pleasures but I couldn’t figure out how to turn on the computer! So give it up to Jessica, Lisa, and Isabella for putting it together. They did an amazing job! Well except for some of the photos of me! Out of a thousand pictures this is what you all get to see!! Enjoy! Anyways, I’ll keep it brief so I don’t bore you fine people. I’m a Painter by day and a father by night and soon I will be able to say a devoted husband by day and night! I’ll never forget the day I met Jessica. It was the best decision I ever made to talk to her. Now I get to spend the rest of my life with her and what an amazing feeling that is when you truly feel connected. Love isn’t even a strong enough word. Thank you all for being a part of mine and Jessica’s wedding!
Lisa Brawdy
Matron of Honor
From sharing our childhood together to supporting each other through life's biggest moments, my sister, Lisa, has always been my constant. She’s not just my matron of honor—she’s my best friend, my confidante, and my rock. She’s the person who’s been there through all the highs and lows of my life, steadying me along the way. I can’t imagine saying 'I do' without her by my side. I’m so grateful for her unwavering love, her infectious laughter, and her ability to make every moment brighter. I love you, sis, and I can’t wait to celebrate together
TJ Halbleib
Best Man
I met TJ back in high school as part of a misspent youth. The memories we share from high school through college and all the years after, are some of the best memories I’ll ever have! The good, the bad and the ugly is why TJ is my best friend! I can honestly say if you really want to know who your true friends are just get in trouble with them and you’ll see! I can say that with laughter now because we both have worked hard after all these years to build our own successful lives. Although TJ lives in Florida and spends most of his time as a captain on a boat, he always manages to stay in touch. I considered him my best man all those years ago and I can say from the heart he’s truly my best man now! I’m looking forward to having you right by my side as my best man on mine and Jessica’s day.
Maddison Couchenour
Maid of Honor
Maddie, I never thought I would become a mom and now I'm gifted with the best blessing in the world by being able to call you, my daughter. Having you in my life, makes me happier than words can describe. I learn from you and look up to you every day. There are few people who are stronger and smarter than you. Even less who would put up with my cooking. FYI, I know you're the boss and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you for sharing your dad with me. Your dad first stole my heart, but now you own it. I could not imagine this day without you being my maid of honor. Your dad and I couldn't do any of this without you. I love you so much!
Cameron Dumnich
Groomsman
Cam has been dating my daughter now for over two years, and I have to hand it to the kid, if he can put up with her, then he is a keeper. At first, like any father, I was like oh no, who is this boy and what are his intentions. I can say with confidence, his intentions are good. He is a gentleman and very polite. He has goals at such a young age and that to me goes a long way. Now that Cam is growing on me and he is so good to my daughter, I think I’ll welcome him to the family, which is why I’m happy to have him as a groomsman. Thank you for being my groomsman on such an important day for myself and Jessica.
Isabella Brawdy
Bridesmaid
My beautiful niece, Isabella, has always been my little ray of sunshine. From the moment she was born, I’ve been in awe of the person she’s becoming—kind, smart, and full of joy. Watching her grow up has been one of the greatest joys of my life, and now, having her by my side as a bridesmaid means the world to me. I’m so excited to share this special day with her as we make more unforgettable memories together. Her big heart, compassionate nature, sunny disposition, and originality is making this wedding journey unforgettable. I love you so much, Isabella, and I’m so grateful to have you by my side!
Michael Brawdy
Groomsman
One word describes my man Michael! (Chill) Michael is simply just a calm, cool, and collected individual and that’s a big reason I was drawn to him. He also knows how to make people laugh and that goes a long way in my book lol! He’s very family-oriented and that makes Jessica happy, which makes me happy! Both of us are very excited to have you in our wedding as my groomsman.
Victoria Lech
Bridesmaid
Where do I even begin with Vicky? From the moment we met in college, living next door to each other in Lothrop Hall, I knew we’d be lifelong friends. Whether it was crazy nights at Pitt, spontaneous road trips, or navigating the ups and downs of adulthood together, she’s been my partner-in-crime through it all. I can always count on her for a good laugh, a deep conversation, or just the best advice when I need it most. Having her by my side on this special day means everything to me. I can't wait to celebrate with you, Vicky, and make even more memories!
Craig Couchenour
Groomsman
It’s hard to sum up a lifetime of brotherhood in just a few sentences. My brother Craig has been by my side through just about everything! From pulling me out of the mud in the middle of the night because I thought it would be a good idea to go 4-Wheeling, to introducing me to a Tradesman that would get my career off to a good start, to remodeling my bathroom on the fly before Jessica moved in. He’s always there when I need him. Sure we started out those younger years with blood, sweat, and tears but we have learned to respect each other in our older years. We’ve been through a lot together and he’s always been by my side. We both have very busy lives now, but one thing I know for sure is if I need anything at all he’s just a phone call away, and he’ll be there for me in a heartbeat. He has taught me so much along the way and I will never forget that. I’m happy you will be my groomsman for such a special day for myself and Jessica.
Sonia Bajwa
Bridesmaid
Sonia and I met while working on our undergraduate degrees and became close while earning our Master of Social Work degrees from Pitt. We’ve been cheering each other on ever since. From long study sessions in school and working on our social work clinical licensure together to celebrating milestones; she’s been a constant source of encouragement, laughter, and friendship. I’m so grateful to have her standing by my side on such a special day!
Jim Zito
Groomsman
Where do I begin with this guy! Jim is one of the funniest guys I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing! It just so happens that we were neighbors from when we were born so I’ve known this guy for quite some time! I have so many stories from hanging with him it’s unbelievable! From riding bikes as kids all the way down route 30 to K-Mart, from falling (back) first off your pool deck, from playing street hockey until your mom decided to run through the net on her way home! We’re both grown up now with our own families and busy schedules but we still find the time to touch base and hang out! Although I wish we could spend more time together I’ll certainly take what I can get! One night out with Jim can hold anyone over for months! It’s like every time we get together I can’t tell if he just got home from the comedy club or if he’s on his way! He always makes me laugh. I’m thrilled to have you as my groomsman on the best day of mine and Jessica’s new journey together!
Lesley Appleby-Blackwell
Bridesmaid
Lesley and I met in Athens, Georgia, and she quickly became like family. From long walks with our dogs in Ben Burton Park to long talks besides the firepit in my backyard, we've been through a lot. Lesley always reminds me to be grateful for the hard lessons in life, and to love myself because of them. I could not have gotten through my PhD studies without her constant support and advice. I am so happy to have her by my side on our wedding day.
Mike Brawdy
Groomsman
The first time I was invited to Jessica’s parents house was for a Christmas Eve dinner. Needless to say I was a bit nervous being surrounded by a bunch of Italians that I couldn’t understand! That’s the first time I met Mike and he made me feel welcome under the pressure and I’ll never forget that. Since then he has made me feel even more welcome by inviting us over for dinner and getting to know me. He’s a very smart guy, a family man, and a hard worker. I know that I will learn from him and become closer to him over the years to follow. I respect Mike and I look forward to being able to call him my brother-in-law. I look forward to having you as a groomsman on mine and Jessica’s perfect day!
Elizabeth Fenstermacher
Bridesmaid
Liz and I first met at Holland Hall in undergrad at Pitt. We became close friends as roommates during our Master of Social Work program. From baking and sharing cake in our mansion apartment (okay so we lived in the servants quarters of the mansion) taking classes together, to late-night talks about life (and papers we probably should’ve started earlier), she quickly became like family. Her unwavering support throughout my social work career means the world to me. I’m so thankful our grad school days brought us together, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her by my side.
Anthony Scolieri
Groomsman
As an apprentice I met Anthony on my very first job site. He was my Forman at first but as the job came to an end he kept me there with him, and took me under his wing and we became immediate friends. We hit it off like two women in a sewing circle. Apparently 40 hours a week wasn’t enough for us so we teamed up on side-work and have been working hard at it ever since. Although we work hard we still find time to play hard especially on our Lake Erie fishing trips. Most importantly when we’re together we can just cut up and laugh. I’m looking forward to having you as a groomsman on such a very big and very important day for myself and Jessica!
