Wedding Party

Kaitlin Ross

Bride

Jacob Molinaro

Groom

Ragan Head

Matron of Honor

This lady right here. Her heart is HUGE just like her gorgeous smile! I have been so blessed to have her as my closest friend for all my life. In fact, our moms were best friends during their school years too. My childhood is covered in memories of times with her, from our romps in the 2 foot deep snow at my house, to the popcorn and movie nights at Ragan's. Almost every Sunday after church we would come up with a plot to convince our parents to let us go over to each other's houses. Through moves across the country, growing up, and starting our own lives, her friendship has remained strong and true. I know we can always pick back up right where we left off. I am SO excited to have this precious, kind woman at my side as I take my vows of marriage. <3

Daniel Giordano

Best Man

When people ask, I always joke that Dan has been my best friend "since he was born." We always managed to get into mischief and misadventure together after Sunday church service as kids, and our occasional sleepovers marked some of the most action-packed days of our years. (Bike rides, hikes, Nerf battles, and fort building all come quickly to mind...) As we've grown older Dan has become more than just a Sunday-afternoon playmate. When I'm excited and want to share, I can call Dan. When I need advice, I can call Dan. When I need to vent, I can call Dan. And I can always trust him to watch my back and stand up for what is right - even if that means asking hard questions or making a sacrifice. He's a man of integrity, a loyal friend, and the only choice for my best man.

Abigail Richard

Bridesmaid

Abigail is the best big sister you could ask for! She is a warrior, an amazing mom, my partner in crime since childhood. Some of my favorite memories with her include playing fort in the woods, riding Misty, and setting up our massive Playmobil/Breyer Horse/Thomas The Tank Engine towns. Occasionally she would get a bit bossy, but I learned at age 2 that giving her a wack over the head with a wooden block would straighten her out! You know, I had to keep up my evil little sister act somehow! Even now when I visit her on the opposite side of the country, I can count on Abigail to humor my wishes to weed the garden together in our underwear and go on long hikes even while carrying a baby. I am so excited to build more memories together with our own new families. I love you big sis! <3

Shay Maney

Groomsman

Hailing all the way from Honolulu, HI, Shay has been one of my best friends from the first day that we met at Children's Bible School eleven years ago. From discussing philosophy and advanced mathematics to travelling cross-country or watching Dragon Ball Z, Shay and I share many of the same interests. Now that he's living three time zones away, he's still always willing to find time to pick up the phone and make the call to catch up. My wedding day wouldn't be the same without the Nail to my Piccolo by my side.

Anna Ruple

Bridesmaid

From Windsor, OH to Skye, Scotland this woman has had my back since we became friends at age 15 and been the cause of many laughing fits and fun adventures over the years. From cleaning out barn stalls, to my "wild" 21st birthday bash out by her pond, climbing mountains in Scotland, or just relaxing at the beach together, I know I can count on Anna to always be ready to do something with me. She also isn't afraid to just say it how it is, which I value about her. There was no doubt in my mind I needed this sister from another mother by my side on my wedding day! <3

Adam Ross

Groomsman

If you're ever driving overnight across large parts of the country, there is no better copilot than Adam. He's always up for an interesting conversation, and despite sharing in my tendency towards acting like an old man, has an awesome sense of adventure and an even better sense of humor. A great story teller and a great friend, I can't imagine my life (or my wedding) without Adam in it.

Ariel Foss

Bridesmaid

Funny enough, I got to know Ari because I cleaned house for her mom during college. Crazy how a little side job lead me to this special woman that I now call one of my closest friends. We have grown even closer over the last few years since she moved to Ohio and it has been fun to watch her build her big dreams that I know she will accomplish. Ari is vivacious, caring, and if you need a cheerleader by your side, call this lady up! <3

Michael Ross

Groomsman

Over the years (and an 8,000 mile road trip to Alaska), I have learned to love Michael for the faithful, adventurous, and supportive friend that he is. Whether its combating rabid marmots on the slopes of the Tetons, skiing in West Virginia, discussing our faiths, or just catching up on life, Michael is always present in the moment and genuinely cares for those around him. He's an awesome soon-to-be brother in law, and someone I'm proud to have as a groomsman.

Megan Ross

Bridesmaid

My second youngest sister - creative, thoughtful, the best artist besides my mom that I know, and has a beautiful spirit. I can count on her to call or text me "just because". Despite me moving out of my parents house when Megan was only 8 years old, we have that strong sister bond that is now blossoming into a friend bond as she matures into a beautiful young lady inside and out. I can't wait to see what her future holds and I am so honored to have her stand by my side on my wedding day! <3

Sean O’Connor

Groomsman

Sean and I have spent a lot of very enjoyable time together over the years. From Pre-Algebra in 6th grade to Calculus 3 in 12th, we had almost identical class schedules all through school. Outside the classroom I was continually left in Sean's dust during cross country races, track races, and the annual University of Scranton Integration Bee, but he always made sure to encourage me and offer advice and support regardless of how bad a race (or integral) I had just completed. It is this loyalty and fast friendship that I value from Sean most, and I couldn't imagine a wedding day without him there.

Elise Molinaro

Bridesmaid

My soon to be sister-in-law! This young lady has a wicked sense of humor and a big heart. It's been special watching her grow up over the last 5 years while Jacob and I were dating, and I knew immediately I wanted Elise by my side on the day I marry her brother. I am so excited to start a sister journey with her! <3

Gabriel Foss

Groomsman

Gabe is the kind of person around whom you can't help but smile. Prank wars, urban exploration, spontaneous Taco Bell, extreme sports, and getting lost in the woods "just for fun" are all on the menu when it comes to an afternoon with Gabe - and I love it. He helps to keep the "cardigan-wearing old man" side of my personality at bay, and reminds me that just because engineering school takes up most of my time, there is ALWAYS time to have fun.

Joyelle Ross

Bridesmaid

Joyelle is my youngest sister and the most spicy of the bunch! She has blossomed into quite an independent young lady in the last year. Joyelle can manage the household like a pro while my mom and dad are away on vacation, is hostess of the mostest to her friends (and to me when I come visit), and her tech abilities continue to amaze me. She always is thinking of little details that can make any person feel special and I am so glad she will be by my side on my wedding day! <3
