Wedding Party
Sydney Rosati
Maid of Honor
Sydney and Leah’s story began at Early Bird Daycare, when they were just three years old. By the time they were seven, life brought them even closer when Leah, her dad, and her brother moved into the in-law portion of Sydney’s family home. Leah’s family was navigating divorce, but Sydney and her family opened their hearts and their home without hesitation, welcoming them as their own. In that space, Leah built a bond with the Rosatis that she will carry with her for the rest of her life. Through every season, Sydney and Leah grew side by side: planting gardens, playing basketball, skiing , camping, and even sharing a trip to the Dominican Republic. No matter where life took them, their friendship remained steady. Leah is endlessly lucky to have Sydney—not just as a best friend, but as a constant source of strength, comfort, and love. Sydney has more than earned her place as maid of honor; she is truly a sister in every sense of the word.
Lexi Sopko
Bridesmaid
Lexi is Nate’s sister and one of Leah’s childhood friends. Leah met Lexi through basketball in middle school, and from the very beginning, she looked up to her. They spent the next five years together bonding on game day bus rides and hanging out afterschool everyday before practice. Lexi would even pick Leah up before school just so that she didn't have to ride the bus. Lexi is thoughtful, caring, stylish, and absolutely gorgeous—but she’s also incredibly funny and always the life of the party. Lexi would do anything for others and her generosity is unmatched. Leah and Nate are together today because Lexi played matchmaker at one of her house parties. Leah is so incredibly grateful to have Lexi not only as a friend, but now as her sister, and she feels truly lucky to have her in her life. Nate and Leah are so honored to have her be a part of our wedding!
Caroline Roy
Bridesmaid
Caroline and Leah are childhood friends who have always shared a special bond. Over the years, they’ve often been considered “twins,” with people mistaking them for the same person—maybe because of their height or their similar features. Leah has always taken that as a compliment! Caroline is someone Leah can turn to for advice on absolutely anything. Whether it’s choosing an outfit or deciding if something is aesthetic enough, Caroline’s sense of style and eye for detail never miss. Even more special is her heart. Caroline has an incredible way of making everyone feel welcomed, valued, and truly included. She approaches life with confidence and courage. Leah is truly honored to have a lifelong friend like Caroline—someone who has been by her side through it all and continues to inspire her every day.
Natalie Myers
Bridesmaid
Natalie came into Leah’s life in 2021 when Natalie started dating groomsman Kyle, and they connected instantly. From the very beginning, their double dates became some of Leah’s favorite weekend activities. They bonded over their shared love of decorating, delicious food, cocktails, and fashion. Leah feels very lucky to have a friend who is walking through this season of life alongside her. Natalie is endlessly kind, fiercely driven, and makes everyone around her feel included and valued. Leah deeply admires her dedication to being her best self—both personally and as a business woman. She is someone leah can always count on, whether she needs advice, support, or just someone to listen to without judgment. Leah can’t wait to see all the incredible things ahead for both of them as they embrace the next chapter.
Ashley Frank
Bridesmaid
Ashely and Leah are first cousins. They are only 3 months apart and Leah loves to tell people she's the older one. Ashley and Leah are known to be a little mischievous. Constantly scheming up plans and getting into some type of trouble with their parents. Even stealing a blank check from their Grandpa's check book because they needed it for their imaginary shopping trip they were going on. Leah has the best memories playing with Ashley in their grandparent's spare bedroom and going on annual camping trips to Presque Isle state park. Ashley is incredibly smart, kind, and also someone Leah can always count on. Leah is so excited to have Ashley by her side for her special day!
Jillian Levakoff
Junior Bridesmaid
Jillian is Leah's first cousin. She is the youngest cousin of the Frank family. Jillian has always been Leah's "babydoll". Ashley and Leah use to play dress up and have tea parties with Jillian in her playhouse. Leah remembers swimming in the pool and running around the house chasing the dogs with Jill. It has been so fun watching Jillian grow into a beautiful and smart young woman she is today. Jillian is a calm steady voice of reason in our loud crazy family. Leah is so grateful to have Jillian in her wedding party!
Addison Leavens
Flower Girl
Addie Kay is Leah and Nate's niece. She is 3 years old and the best little girl you'll ever meet. She is smart, fierce, and will absolutely tell you who is boss. Addie loves playing, coloring, and eating corn. She is so excited to be a big girl flower girl for her Auntie B. Leah and Nate cannot wait to see her in her beautiful dress and have her be apart of their day!
Zach Hauth
Best Man
A lifelong friend. As close to brothers as you can be with both of us calling each others parents Aunt and Uncle and being together more than we were apart when younger. Growing up together we spent time dirt biking, snow boarding, riding our bikes, playing video games, etc. - most hobbies we shared. Zach is extremely hard working, becoming a jack of all trades, working in tiling, welding, HVAC, and now construction. He is the type of friend that will be there for you no matter the situation, I know he always has my back. He is my best man.
Garret Frank
Groomsman
Leah’s older brother and a good friend of mine. Garret and I went to school together in Springville. After a few years spent in Geneseo for college, he went to Arizona to pursue a job in finance. Now living in Amsterdam, Garret has been a world traveler in the meantime. I have been impressed by how he has been able to break away and make his own path in life (even though we would like for him to be closer so the commute to see him wasn’t so far). Garret has always been a friend and soon I will be happy to call him my brother.
Devon Morlok
Groomsman
Devon and I became friends in middle school and got closer in high school. From college to our careers we shared the same path going to University at Buffalo and getting a computer science degree. We shared many interests along the way like computer games, working out, now golf to name a few. Devon brings a hilarious personality to everything we do. He is known for getting along with just about everyone, a quality that I look up to. Now being coworkers and living nearby each other we continue to be great friends.
Kyle Myers
Groomsman
A friend from our time shared at University at Buffalo. When we first met it felt like we had somehow been friends already. We went on to share an apartment in North Buffalo for a few years, going to the gym together often after work days and seemingly always having events or plans on the weekend together. Kyle is outgoing and not afraid of being uncomfortable, even spending time in China for school and moving to Syracuse to for a new career. He is someone that I look to for motivation and advice. Now reunited in the south towns, I am looking forward to many more years of friendship and golfing together.
Brandon Austin
Groomsman
Randomly paired as roommates for our freshman year at University at Buffalo, we went from strangers to friends quickly. Eventually, going on to share rooms and apartments together for three of the four years with a bunch of great times along the way. Through school I was lucky to have Brandon as a friend, gaming buddy, smarter classmate and the glue that held together our group of friends. Brandon went on to live in Cortland NY after college, we have remained close since then.
Jack Leavens
Ring Bearer
Jack is Leah and Nate’s nephew. Being his Aunt and Uncle is truly an honor and a privilege we cherish. He is the sweetest little boy, and in our eyes, he can do no wrong. We are so grateful to have Jack as part of our special day!
