Steph Parken
Bridesmaid

After college, Emily made a point of visiting Rosie while she lived in Berlin and the two traveled to multiple different countries together deepening their friendship over the miles.
Sam Wesner
Bridesmaid
Sam is an occupational therapist outside Philly. She and Rosie met in eighth grade. When Sam walked into school in a bright green skirt, Rosie thought they'd never be friends--how wrong she was! 16 years later and they have been through it all together-- intense classes, crazy track practices, missed proms, moving away for college, two masters degrees, two engagements, and soon two weddings!
Hannah Koehrsen
Bridesmaid
Hannah is a musician and rock star mom. She and Rosie met 15 years ago when she was the youth leader at Rosie's church!

Becca Fulmer
Bridesmaid

Rosie refers to Becca as her concert fairy (Becca always manages to snag great tickets) and the two have been to quite a few shows together.
Gwen Pribish
Bridesmaid
Gwen is a special education teacher in Fairfax county, Va. She and Rosie met at Cornerstone. Her sense of humor and honesty meant Rosie knew they'd be friends. Gwen, Rosie, Emily, and Becca have kept strong ties since college ended including backpacking trips and weekends visiting one another.
Bekah Lyle
Bridesmaid
Bekah is a licesenced professional councelor. She and Rosie met last year when Bekah started dating one of Rosie's best friends, Tyler. Weekley hang outs and camping adventures bonded the two, as well as many eye rolls aimed at the antics of their friends.
Tom Kroszner
Best Man
The #1 hoss, Josh’s top dawg, and main mang. Tom and Josh first met as lab partners in 7th grade. They became truly close through the Keystone State Boychoir, which took them around the world and to both poles! Tom and Josh had each other’s backs on these amazing adventures, and are continuing the trend as groomsmen in each other’s weddings.
Will Bruce
Groomsman
Will is Josh's oldest brother, childhood hero, and fellow tree nerd. He currently lives and works in Northern California where he is homesteading with a group of friends.
Chris Bruce
Groomsman
Chris is Josh’s middle brother, childhood tormentor, and favorite concert companion. He is a wickedly smart and witty guy, who uses his abilities to think three steps ahead as a cancer research scientist and board game master. Though he may always beat you, he’ll always make sure you have a good time.
Liam Collier
Groomsman
Josh and Liam met freshman year through their mutual quest to be the lankiest, floppiest person on the dance floor. Initially facing off Highlander style, they soon realized they could join forces to create even more flaily mayhem. Off the dancefloor, Liam is a wildly creative and charismatic theater director, currently living in Chicago.
Frank James
Groomsman
They say people look like their dogs. Frank not only looks, but acts like his dog, an Irish Terrier named Oliver: with his enthusiastic greetings, loud AM singing and sudden staring contests, Frank made sure there was never a dull moment at Cheese House. He is currently pursuing a career as a professional Pokemon trainer in Silicon Valley.
Michael Loukeris
Groomsman
Beneath his low, gruff voice and dark stubble, Michael is one of the sweetest, most supportive people you are likely to meet. In college he gained a reputation in Josh’s core group of friends for patroning nearly every performance by other group mates—even if in varying states of conciousness. He is currently pursuing a career in medicine.
Calvin Morrison
Groomsman
Calvin is Rosie's brother. He is a professional curmudgeon and computer engineer living in Philadelphia. In his free time, he restores old SAABS and cooks for his friends.
Aster Wamser
Groomsman
Aster and Josh met in the choir loft of Abington Presbyterian Church. As someone who effortlessly bridges the gap between nerdy and cool, Aster was an absolute blessing to Josh in middle school—the scrawniest, nerdiest time of Josh’s life. Their friendship deepened over many choir tours, mission trips and Kevin Bacon movie nights. They now regularly watch the Bachelorette together; it’s no Kevin Bacon movie, but you can only consume so much Bacon.
