Jonathan & Rebecca
Wedding Party
Erin Porter
Maid of Honor
Sista sista:) Erin is Becca's little sister and bestie. Growing up they did not always see eye to eye, but their sisterhood has led them to a friendship Becca is eternally grateful for! She is the life of the party, mixed with a kind soul and a thoughtful heart. She is someone very special to us and a constant supporter of every adventure Becca and Jonathan embark on.
Aaron Beck
Best Man
AB is Jonathan's childhood friend that has been around through it all. He has seen every stage of J's life starting with the over the hill bonfires, Outer Banks family vacations, dirt bike racing, to college ski trips and boro shenanigans, to Coots Cup golf trip and Wisp trips with the kids. Aaron is a salt of the earth guy and the brother J never had, but always wanted!
Lauren Murray
Bridesmaid
Becca has always wanted an older sister (now she gets two)! Lauren is Jonathan's oldest sister and definitely leads the charge for the Blubaugh children. Lauren is a role model in so many ways-full time PT, active mother of three crazy boys, brewery owner x2, and somehow still has time for hobbies like bee keeping! Lauren is always up for an adventure, knowledgeable about so many things and always has been so welcoming to Becca as she has integrated into the Blubaugh family.
Sam Porter
Groomsman
Sam is Becca's younger brother and the favorite child. Sam is an adventurer and always down to try new things. Jonathan and Sam have bonded through their adventures skiing out west and drinking whiskey with Jim. He is a great conversationalist (sometimes argumentative) and enjoys to talk about anything, just like J. He is a fun guy to be around, and although J already considers him a brother, he is excited to make it official.
Cara Barnhart
Bridesmaid
Becca hit the lottery, another sister!! Cara is Jonathan's older sister and also another amazing role model we have been blessed with. Cara also embodies the Blubaugh mentality of go go go. She is a mother of 3 human children, 3 dogs, 1 bunny, 1 cat and we've lost track what else, a puppy breeder, and an RN. Becca and Cara have bonded greatly over the fact that they share the same career, and she has supported Becca throughout her entire nursing journey and has given her much guidance. Cara has been a source of support to Jonathan and Becca throughout their relationship as well as a great friend.
Derek Baker
Groomsman
D is a childhood friend of Jonathan's that has been there since T ball, to basketball, to golf, and more, and you better believe they still talk about who was better than who! D has been a steady friend since little league, to IUP, and now just a two hour drive away in Charleston. Derek has a good heart and has been a great resource for Jonathan as he navigated through life and now about to begin the next chapter of marriage.
Danielle Lewis
Bridesmaid
Dani first met Becca in high school where they bonded over sleepovers, hanging out at "the spot" and passing notes in O chem class. Throughout the years their lives continue to grow together-both becoming nurses at Pitt, finding a love for wine, charcuterie and traveling, and finding life partners that have also grown to be best of friends. Dani has been there for it all, and was there the night J and Becca met. Her loyalty is unmatched, and within 5 minutes of J and Becca talking, Dani made sure to interrupt and interrogate J to make sure he had the right intentions. Safe to say, he does, and Dani approves!
CJ Davis
Groomsman
CJ and J somehow managed to grow up together, continue to remain best buds and still not go to jail. This two-some is one wild time, but always the best time and in good fun. CJ is a boro boy and always a yes man. Whether it is snowboarding, 4 wheeler rides or just crushing beers by the fire, CJ is there with a smile on his face. CJ has seen Jonathan through it all, and they have continued to support each other in all endeavors life throws their way.
Natalie Wendel
Bridesmaid
Nat is the OG. Natalie and Becca have known each other since kindergarten. Besties in grade school-shared birthday parties, dressing up for Halloween together and of course playing mermaids in Becca's family pool. They went to different high schools, but that did not change a thing, especially because Natalie's house was where all the parties took place. They both found their way to the best college in the world (We Are!) where they joined the ski club together, enjoyed themed parties at Nat's place and went on the best spring break trip ever! Now, the two continue with yearly ski trips, trips to each other's new homes, and are both in their bridal eras together! 25 years of friendship and a life time to go!
Josh Dennis
Groomsman
Josh and J met in the boro as kids. (Do you see a trend here?) The competitive childhood attitude for Cat Ball and Legion baseball has not changed, except now in their "older years" they have become competitive with some less contact sports, like golf and hunting. Josh is always full of support and has strong loyalty to the people he cares about. He and J can go on and on for hours about the worlds problems, and maybe one of these days they will solve some.
Kelly Angelina
Bridesmaid
Kelly and Becca met at PSU during a community service event for PSU THON-and no the community service was not court ordered!! Kelly quickly became Becca's go to friend-power remix partner, studying at the hub, pre-games in Geary Hall, tailgates, 9pm church, frat hopping-Kelly was right there by her side. Kelly and Becca became roomies starting their sophomore year and grew their friend group to the established Pugh Girls. Kelly is the type of gal that will always make any room better; her positive energy, genuine conversations and a little touch of Philly attitude makes her one of the best people to be around, and her support is unwavering.
Patrick Carrington
Groomsman
Pat and J met during their time at IUP. They founded a friendship over cheap liquor pitchers at Wolfies, breakfast sammies from 9th street deli, St. Patrick's day daylongs, and white water rafting trips with the boys. They continued their friendship throughout the years-living nearby one another during their time in Pittsburgh and then golf trips to Charleston. Pat is truly the most positive guy around, always glass half full with an uplifting spin to everything. Pat is always a yes man and someone J can always count on.
Cecilia Camp
Bridesmaid
Ceci and Becca met when they fell asleep sitting next to each other during a communications class at PSU. They both proceeded to drop the class but their friendship continued on! Ceci and Becca bonded over THON, PSU tailgates, roommates for three years and is also a member of the Pugh girls. Ceci is the best story teller around, creating inside jokes that will last a lifetime. Ceci is someone you can always count on for a laugh, but more importantly is the most supportive and understanding friend with a special talent of making you always feel better after spending time with her!
Tommy Lewis
Groomsman
Tommy and Jonathan met in 2018 when Becca took J to the annual Lewis NYE bash! Tommy is Becca's friend Danielle's husband...follow? Tommy and J are two peas in a pod, bonding over their love for golf, their many "million dollar ideas", and of course making fun of Becca/Dani. They are the Brunswick Member Guest Golf Tournament Champions circa 2024, and when they are not on the golf course together, their entrepreneurial minds are at work. Becca and Dani are still banking on those million dollar ideas...maybe one day. Tommy has become much more than "Becca's friend's husband" throughout the years, and is now one of J's close friends and go-to's for late night idea phone calls.
Emma Warner
Bridesmaid
Emma and Becca go all the way back to fall semester of freshman year when they were placed on the same THON committee. Their friendship continued to blossom from there when they declared the same major-spending time both in and out of the classroom enjoying all that PSU has to offer! They really became close when they spent a summer abroad in Brighton, England, traveling all over London, venturing to Italy and Ireland and all the stories in between! Emma is also another fellow Pugh girl and became roommates with Becca their senior year. Emma is a loyal friend who is always there to listen and someone Becca has relied on without fail-her smile and laugh are contagious.
David Minnick
Groomsman
David and J met back in the boro as kids, getting into trouble, playing sports and of course he was part of the infamous over the hill parties. David and J bond over their upbringing as well as their love for golf and snowboarding. David and J have spent several trips out west together hitting the pow as well as enjoying the sunshine during their annual Chum cup golf reunion. David and J have a need for adventure and bond over their desire to explore.
Shannon Buono
Bridesmaid
Shan is Becca's forever roommate. The two paired up as freshman year roommates at PSU, and that was just the start. Shan and Bec continued to live together all 4 years at school, so you can only imagine the stories and memories they share. From pre-games in Geary hall, to scary movie wine nights, to tailgates, late night study sessions, sour cream and onion chips, Uncle Chen's, and the list goes on. Shannon is quite honestly the funniest person Becca knows, and underneath that sarcasm is a huge heart with unwavering support for all the people she cares about. You learn a lot about living with someone, and somehow Shan continues to stick around; however, she will now have to face the fact that her title of "forever roomie" has been passed on to Jboy...he has big shoes to fill!
Ian Ramsey
Groomsman
J and Ian, like most of the Waynesboro boys, go way back — think little league travel baseball, high school basketball, and even middle school poker nights (don’t worry, they only played with change). They also used to ski together, but Ian has since traded his passion for the slopes for the bay, and now resides near the Chesapeake bay with his wife Meg. J is confident he’ll get Ian back on the ski slopes one day soon.
