Wedding Party
Brianne Ii
Matron of Honor
Brianne is my Matron of Honor, my cousin and the first friend I ever had. We have countless memories of sleepovers at Grandma's house, many of which include Grandma telling us to get out of the kitchen for picking at the food before dinner or baking cookies and pies! There was never a question as to who my Matron of Honor would be as Brie is the closest I've ever come to a sister. She has seen me through many awkward stages and embraces the nerd that I am. I couldn't be happier to have her standing next to me on my wedding day!
Allie Brislin
Bridesmaid
Allie brings the sunshine to the wedding party! Since I've know Allie, I have always described her as sunshine, warm, caring, sweet and funny as hell! From late nights in her kitchen to incredibly early mornings for coronations, and who knows how many camping trips, its always a good time with Allie. You never know if it will be a calm night or a crazy afternoon full of future memories. Most importantly this woman is there for her people no matter what is going on and I'm so grateful to be included in her village of people and to have her stand up with me at the wedding!
Camille Farrell
Bridesmaid
Camille is our resident wine expert and fashionista! Camille has pushed me to try new wines, food and is one of my favorite shopping buddies! She loves a good documentary or podcast and always has an assortment of cheeses and plenty of wine for a Sunday Funday. Thank you for pushing me to be better, I can't wait to celebrate my marriage with you by my side.
Danielle Kozich
Bridesmaid
Danielle brings the party! This girl works hard so she can play harder! She will always be the one to offer a beer or shot! Most nights you can find Danielle listening to music and enjoying her hot tub, if you can't find her there, she's probably out riding a quad, side by side or her snowmobile, she never stops! I've had more random adventures and gone to more concerts with Danielle then anyone else. I'm so excited she will be with us celebrating!
Kirsten Frederick
Bridesmaid
Kirsten is a unique mix of the rest of my bridesmaids. She is protective, loving and caring, pushes me to try new things, always down for a good time and loves my silliness. We met at work, and became close after she trained me. She is happy with a Hut Night and a few beers in my back yard or an impromptu trip to Atlantic City! This girl can have a good time no matter what! She's also incredibly thoughtful, and will do just about anything to make someone smile or cheer up. I couldn't be more thankful to Benco for bringing us together! Rick and I are so happy she will be with us when we say our vows.
Kristen Malagari
Bridesmaid
Kristen is that friend that you just can't imagine life without. Like the other girls she is sweet and sassy. Kristen and I have known each other for over 20 years and we have seen each other through high school prom, college and navigated our 20's together with moves and jobs. She is the friend that we can pick up the friendship after being out of touch like nothing has changed. While we don't go out like we used to, a low key lunch and catch up session are more our speed now. Just like with Brianne, there's no way I could have ever imagined getting married without her there and I'm beyond thankful that she is one of my bridesmaids!
Chris Kozich
Best Man
Chris is Rick's Best Man and they have been friends since they were five years old and have more stories than I'll ever know, but I'm sure Chris will share some in his toast! Chris is loyal and supportive and the first to be there to help no matter the situation. But since they have been friends pretty much their whole lives, when they argue, its like watching an old married couple fight and its the funniest thing you've ever seen! Chris is always good for a laugh and somehow finds the dumbest songs that will forever be stuck in your head! I love seeing Rick and Chris dive into Fireworks each summer and snowmobiling each winter and patiently wait to hear all the stories as soon as they come home from a trip. I'm grateful Rick has such a great friend in life and that he will have his best friend standing next to him on our wedding day.
Mike Farrell
Groomsman
Mike, aka Farrell is another incredibly loyal guy. Sometimes he instigates absurd behavior, other times he will be the one to keep us all safe whether that be when we are riding in the woods or doing ridiculous stuff in the garage. Farrell is quick to make a joke and then smirk at your reaction, and in the next minute he will be offering you his famous chicken wings. Farrell is the type of guy that once he is your friend, he will be your friend forever, and Rick and I both count ourselves lucky to have Mike in our corner and standing with us as we get married.
Mike King
Groomsman
Mike, aka King is our travel buddy! We have gone on a cruise with King, multiple trips to go riding with the side by sides and too many Gettysburg trips to count. It doesn't matter if we are on the battlefield, a museum or walking around town, he is always happy to be there while we all learn a bit more about the Battle of Gettysburg. Mike is an absolute sweetheart and is always ready for "one more" whether that one more is a beer or a good song to jam out to. We are so thankful our favorite battlefield guide will be standing with us at our wedding.
Ryan Brislin
Groomsman
Ryan is the friend everyone needs. He enjoys going to concerts, fishing, camping and listening to good music. You'll always get a new musician or group to listen to when you're with him and you'll never be disappointed with them.. And if you haven't seen Home Alone, don't worry, you won't need to. Once you get him, Rick, Chris and Allie started, I'm pretty sure they can recite the movie. Ryan's always there helping friend's with their projects while throwing out one-liners the whole time. We are so happy Ryan will be standing with us when we say our vows.
Edward Kika
Groomsman
Edward, “little” brother of the bride he had to be in the wedding party! He is a lot like the other guys, he enjoys making smartass comments, always has a good time with friends and a few beers. Edward was the first in my family to meet Rick and to say they got along well is an understatement…and I’m pretty sure he decided I had to keep Rick forever when he had Rick’s chicken soup the first time. Edward has seen me through everything! He has been there for Rick & I since the beginning, there’s no way we’d be able to get married without him there!
