Jordyn & Brenner
Wedding Party
Jordyn Kosienski
Bride
"I don't remember not knowing Brenner, but one of my favorite first memories was at a winter dance. I was sitting on the bleachers alone during a slow song, and he came up and asked me to dance. Come to find out from his friends a few years later, this was all a competition to see how many "pretty girls" each of them could dance with in one night... I can also confirm that the rollercoaster was very scary at the time."
Brenner Ferringer
Groom
"I don't remember the first time I met Jordyn, but my first memory of her is in middle school when she sat next to me on a "big" rollercoaster and clawed my arm with her nails because she was scared."
Alyssa Sipe
Matron of Honor
“This red-headed long haired girl offered me a treat for Halloween in school. She gave me a big bright smile and then ran away offering other kids treats.”
Collen Hornaman
Best Man
"Brenner and I became friends during elementary school, but our friendship really solidified during high school when we played sports together, had the same classes, and did family vacations. Though we have spent most of our adult lives living on complete opposite ends of the globe, Brenner has always managed to be the most dependable and caring best friend anyone could ask for, and I am honored to be his best man."
Keitha Duhaney
Bridesmaid
"I met Jordyn on the first day of college during orientation week at PSU, bonding over our love for God, our stark cultural differences, and our goals for the future. By the end of the day, we were inseparable, and by the end of the year, we solidified our lifelong friendship."
Isaac Jones
Groomsman
“Brenner and I have been friends for as long as I can remember. As kids were in the same Sunday school and pre-school classes. Brenner was always over during the summer vacations.”
Madison Forsey
Bridesmaid
"Jordyn and I met in Greenville, NC while we were both at our first job in TV! We bonded over margaritas/mojitos and Calvin Klein dresses from Marshall's and have been friends ever since."
Nate Jones
Groomsman
"Brenner and my brother became friends first, and then over time, our friendship grew, too. He would often come over to play in early elementary school, maybe like 1st or 2nd grade. At first, I was stand-offish towards him if I remember correctly haha. As time continued, I realized Brenner and I get along really well since we had a lot in common. Brenner has remained one of the "constants" in my life and continues to be one of the greatest friends a man could ask for."
Kelci Odonnel
Bridesmaid
“Jordyn and I met at WNCT in Greenville, North Carolina. We were two girls just trying to figure out life together in our first-ever big girl jobs. Whether it be margarita nights or taking our pups out for ice-cream during our wacky work schedule, our friendship quickly grew!”
Josh Avalos
Groomsman
“Brenner and I met during orientation at Penn State. We were both in the honors college and were the same major, so we got put into the same room to schedule our first semester classes and spent about an hour together trying to figure out the very confusing (and very broken) system! This ended up sparking some conversation and we realized we were pretty similar. We became good friends from there!”
Kourtney Thomas
Bridesmaid
“I’ve known you for quite a few years! I’m almost positive we met through softball with our parents being so involved with Little League. If I had to guess we met at winter workouts and from there played countless softball games together.”
Will Shartzer
Groomsman
"Brenner and I first met at UPAC our sophomore year at Penn State, but it wasn't until a couple of months later at a mutual friend's birthday party that our friendship took shape. We both left the party together around midnight to grab some food and wound up spending the next three hours or so on a bench downtown discussing politics, world events, philosophy, etc. It was from that point on that we became friends."
Bridgette Scoles
Bridesmaid
"My childhood memories with [Jordyn] are priceless. I don't just have a cousin, I have a life long friend. Our paths may change as life goes along, but the bond between us will forever stay strong. Thank you for being the kind of person who knows all my flaws, but accepts and loves me anyway."
Brian Siroka
Groomsman
“I met Brenner my freshman at Penn State during our dorm floor meetings. He was extremely outgoing and one of the nicest people I'd met. We really bonded in our physics and engineering classes and our two week road trip brought us closer than ever. I am proud to call Brenner one of my best friends.”
Jinelle Ward
Bridesmaid
"We are blood. Jordyn is my favorite cousin."
Ben Palfey
Groomsman
“Brenner and I first met in our freshman year engineering design class. Over the course of that first semester, the whole class got to knowing each other over various group projects and generally struggling through it all together. Though we didn’t work together that much, it was from that class that we ended up both signing up to study abroad in Singapore that following summer. It was on this trip that I felt Brenner truly became one of my closest friends. This trip was the first time I had left the country, gone as far as I possibly could go from home, but the anxiety of those concerns were overshadowed by exploring an incredible place with an incredible person, and sharing experiences I still get nostalgic for to this day. Our friendship continued to grow since then, and I think it has helped me become the person I am today. I simply can’t imagine what the last 5 years would have been like if he wasn’t there to share the laughs, all-nighters, and adventures that I will always cherish.”
Jolene Boyce
Bridesmaid
"Jordyn and I are cousins that are only 5 months apart. The first time I met Jordyn, my mom carried me into Aunt Gail's maternity suite 10 hours after Jordyn was born and sat me down right next to her."
Jared Kosienski
Groomsman
"I met Brenner when Jordyn brought him home for the first time to have dinner with the family. He plays basketball with me, and I love that."
Julia Fitch
Bridesmaid
"The first time we ever met was when we were itty-bitty in dance class together. We reconnected and became closer when Jordyn started dating my brother."
Robert Fitch
Groomsman
"I met Brenner through his sister, Julia (my wife). I knew that even if Julia and I didn't work out, I had a bro for life."
Addisyn Ward
Flower Girl
Jordyn is my second cousin (or something like that). I spend a lot of time with Aunt Gail and Uncle Joe, and that's how I have come to know Jordyn so well. We already went flower girl dress shopping, and it was so much fun!

Jordyn is my godmother, but I also know her as “Auntie Jay.” Every time I see her, I have a big smile on my face. My mom is Alyssa (Matron of Honor).
Owyn Ward

Addie is my big sister, and Jordyn is my cousin, too! I also had to attend dress shopping, and that's how I ended up in this fancy gray suit.
