Wedding Party
Kayla Kroh
Maid of Honor
Kayla and Brooke met in the York County Senior Honors Choir in 10th grade and were fast friends. Fast forward twelve years later and they're still just as close as ever (even 800 miles apart). Within the next year they will BOTH get married and are so excited to share in all the wedding bliss (and challenges) together.
Zach Lueders
Best Man
Zach has been Mike's best friend since 11th grade when he moved in just 4 minutes away. They spent a lot of nights playing video games, hanging out with friends, and playing ping pong together. If you were wondering, Mike is better at ping pong...
Tara Lynch
Maid of Honor
Tara is Brooke's best friend from college (kind of). When Tara's high school best friend Brittany roomed with Brooke and some others senior year, Tara would frequently come to visit and was dubbed the honorary 6th roommate. Brooke and Tara quickly realized how much they have in common, and the rest is history. Now they live in the same apartment complex, and even their dogs are best friends!
Alec Miller
Groomsman
Alec and Mike have been friends since 6th grade when they started playing video games and soccer together. The bromance runs deep, and Brooke is jealous. It wouldn't be a wedding without Miller in it.
Finn Kelly
Bridesmaid
Finn (aka Actual, Literal, Sunshine - Finn Kelly) and Brooke met at Messiah when they lived on the same floor freshmen year, and hung out with the same friend group, the Naugle Lobby "Lobsters." They became super close when they played arch rivals Elle and Christy in the musical production of Abigail Weinel's "Live in Color" junior year, and continue their friendship post-college with a mutual love of musical theatre, animals, and celebrating every Wednesday as better than the last.
Jack Mentch
Groomsman
Jack and Mike's friendship has blossomed since their physics trip to Hershey Park, where they led their group to an A on their project. They continue to bond with coding and Philly sports, however rough it may be. If you get a chance to meet Jack at the wedding, have a beer with him!
Sam Rockhill
Bridesmaid
Sam and Brooke met freshmen year when they lived on the same floor, but didn't become close until they were lab partners in their field biology class sophomore year, where they bonded particularly over pulling brains out of a squirrel skull (a true mark of friendship). Many crochet stitches and episodes of "Golden Girls" later, Brooke and Sam are just as squirrely as they were in 2017.
Alex Wager
Groomsman
Back in middle school, Alex invited Mike to his neighborhood block party, where Mike had the best coleslaw he has ever had, and he doesn't know who to contact. Nowadays Alex single-handedly improves Mike's golf game. Alex if you're reading this, please let me know where that coleslaw came from.
Bekah McClelland
Bridesmaid
Bekah and Brooke connected through the Messiah College Handbell Choir, where they played the highest and lowest bells offered, respectively. Monday afternoons were reserved for ringing, and driving Prof Shawn Gingerich a little crazy with their antics. Bekah is famously known as "that girl who crocheted a blanket larger than most living rooms" and is the best listener Brooke knows.
Ryan Gandy
Groomsman
On his first day of college, Mike walked into Ryan's room and introduced himself to Ryan and his roommates. Mike did not leave that room for the rest of the year. Ryan then lived with Mike for a summer and bonded with (terrorized) Mike's family dog Sammy. If you see Ryan, ask him about his guiding adventure around the UK.
