Wedding Party
Becca Burtch
Matron of Honor
Becca is more than my sister, she's my best friend! There's a saying: "sisters by chance, friends by choice" and this definitely rings true for us. Sharing various brightly colored rooms for 16 years when growing up leads to a certain level of closeness, but we've only grown closer in adulthood. We're intentional about planning sister dates that usually look like a glass of wine, homemade popcorn, and late-night talking. I look up to her as a wife and homemaker - I certainly have a thing or two to learn from her. It was 6 years ago when I stood beside Becca and her big day and I couldn't imagine our day without her right next to me.
Cara McDowell
Bridesmaid
I'll always be grateful to my brother for marrying one of my closest friends making her my sister. Cara is my gif sending, joke making, late-night texting friend of many years. I'm always the most at ease when I'm with her. Our friendship is easy but I'll never take it for granted. Cara is one of the most empathetic and loyal people you'll ever meet and I consider myself blessed to call her my friend, sister, and bridesmaid.
Luke Lindner
Best Man
Luke and I met at Camp Hickory Hill in 2012 where we were both on staff. After college, he and I lived in the Chester Street house where we spent time around the ping pong table, taking in the Sabres' games, and enjoying good conversations on our front porch. He is a dear friend, a faithful brother in our common faith in Christ, and a pretty good disc golfer. I'm thankful for his friendship and am excited to have him in my wedding!
Dave McDowell
Groomsman
Dave and I met also met at camp in 2012. As the years have gone by Dave has become a dear friend. We share a love for the simple things of life: a nice morning meal, a good round of golf, a peaceful evening spent with close friends. Dave, these past two years, has also been my house-mate: first at the Chester Street house and then at the Crescent Avenue house where we enjoyed plenty of memorable moments. He, as it happens, is Han's brother and brought about the kindling of Han and my relationship.
