Wedding Party
Madlyn McDonough
Maid of Honor
Little did I know when I was forced to play t-ball at 4 years old, I would have met my best friend. We have shared so many tears together, over sports, boys, when Maddy can NEVER get the lyrics to a song right, her attempts at "dancing," and mostly just anything we say to each other because we are hilarious. I am not sure how we even became friends because Maddy was so shy I had to order her food for her. But I couldn't imagine life without her, even though she did let me get pulled over for speeding.
Anna Potterfield
Bridesmaid
Our friendship began in high school where we bonded over Jacob Sartorius, making Dubsmash videos, and having photoshoots in our photography class. Even though we didn't go to the same college, I couldn't imagine college without her. Its amazing how many hours Anna, Lily, and I could keep ourselves entertained with nothing to do during Covid. Now our lives still revolve around photoshoots, making silly videos, and finding the next place to eat on our many adventures.
Lily Potterfield
Bridesmaid
Special thanks to Anna for introducing me to her sister Lily. We started hanging out during college where we spent many nights in Shippensburg. After performing Tiktok dances for hours, we would eat brownie batter and shrimp poppers in their apartment while watching 1000 lb sisters. You can still find us looking for a late night treat and attempting dances on tiktok.
Kassidy Kollmann
Bridesmaid
We first met in college on the dance floor of a frat basement, and became "friends" for the rest of the party. The next year we ended up living across the hall from each other but were too shy to hang out. Fast forward many years later where we travel hours to see each other from New Jersey to Maryland to play card games and have fancy cocktails.
Ally Melton
Bridesmaid
During our first conversation we bonded in misery over our Chemical Engineering classes. After many years of crying and laughing, we lived together in a very special apartment where we played many games of Mario Kart and counted down to tea time.
Lauren Corfman
Bridesmaid
Lauren welcomed me into Jack's friend group years ago, and now we have become our own friend group. Her laugh and joy is infectious, and she knows how to light up a room, especially when she's carrying her buffalo chicken dip. Also, if you ever need a Twisted Tea, check Laurens purse.
Meera Mysore-Custer
Bridesmaid
Although we have only been in each others life for a few years, it feels like we have been friends forever. She is my favorite hype woman, and always makes our time together so fun. In a room full of people, we always can find each other when it hits shot o'clock.
Will Mann
Best Man
Our friendship was forged in the high school engineering program where we both proved that you really could "make it" based on fakin' it. He is a proven job stalker and has followed me to several companies now, both of which soon realized how dynamic this duo really is. Will is certified "fun guy" with a contagious positive spirit. On many of my most grueling days he is there to make me laugh until my stomach hurts.
Ben Cooley
Groomsman
I've known Ben since we were kids. At least that is what I can remember after all the times he rocked me playing lacrosse. We suffered through Catholic school together, bonding over the mayhem he caused to the father, son & holy spirit.
Bryce Deluliis
Groomsman
I met Bryce through work, getting paired together for a 6-month HVAC training program in Tulsa, Oklahoma. While we embraced the agony of connecting flights and a boring night life, Bryce and I found creative ways to have fun and become good friends through the process - usually through dark humor and sketchy scooter rides. While he has big Italian hair, his heart is even bigger. For someone I have only known a couple of years, he is someone I cherish being surrounded by.
Nathan Mills
Groomsman
Nathan was my first true "public school friend" when I started at Severna Park HS. We became fast friends between the class room and club lacrosse field, while even finding time to ~almost~ start a t-shirt company....ahh the good ole days. Before splitting off for college, we spent those 4-years getting into plenty of sticky situations, having fun with the boys, and celebrating "Gap Day" (the day between our two birthdays).
Eric Bender
Groomsman
For years I begged my parents for a little brother....with no luck. Instead, I inherited Eric. At the time he was just some 16 year old country bumpkin, but over the years he has turned into the biggest supporter of Jill & I. Eric always finds a way to make the little moments fun, whether it is during his visits on the holidays, hunting trips, or our legendary 1v1 basketball games.
Sam Edwards
Groomsman
Sam & I met in college when we both joined a fantasy football league from the UMBC class of 2021 Facebook group. Little did I know that this guy was not only the genius that carried me through physics classes, but my go-to +1 for any party on campus the next four years. This guy loves 2 things - gamecube & pecan pie.
Sean Custer
Groomsman
Sean and I met briefly freshman year of college while "exploring UMBC's campus"...but it wasn't until we pledged our fraternity sophomore year that I realized how incredible he is to be around. He is someone always willing to drive deeper, more meaningful conversations, and possesses more musical talent in his pinky finger than I do through my whole body.
