Wedding Party
Holly Fleth
Bridesmaid
Holly and Jamie met in 2016 during Houghton College's orientation weekend. Holly wore a Twenty one Pilots shirt and Jamie was so excited and struck up conversation immediately. The two of them talked for hours and became instant friends by bonding over music, movies, tv shows and emotions. Holly and Jamie roomed together for two years at college which laid the foundation for some crazy adventures. Everything from going to Wegmans at 12am to eat their feelings, sleeping on the streets of Brooklyn for a concert,and endless laughter. Jamie is eternally grateful for this friendship and would not have remotely survived college without Holly keeping her grounded. Like for real though.❤️
Teresa Soley
Bridesmaid
Teresa and Jamie met at Houghton College and became quick friends in the Kombucha aisle of a Wegmans in Geneseo, NY. This was just the beginning of many trips to their favorite grocery store. They took many late night trips to Wegmans and on the 40 minute drive talked about many facets of life. Teresa and Jamie live hundreds of miles apart but they don't let that stop them from talking each day. They text in a "stream of consciousness" and give live updates throughout the day. Teresa's friendship made all of Jamie's student debt worth it. ❤️
Erin Lawrence
Bridesmaid
Erin and Jamie met at Houghton College when they were dorm neighbors. They grew close over time and grew closer as they endured being RA's and the chaos that comes along with it. Erin's door was always open and anytime Jamie needed a buddy she was there to sit and watch hours of jeopardy and eat ice cream or simply be a listening ear. Erin is a Swiss army knife of a person- she is always prepared for anything and knows how to solve any problem. Erin was a bright ray of sunshine on Houghton's eternal winter campus and was a vital part of my time at college, and has continued to be a vital part years after!❤️
Melissa Sorrentino
Bridesmaid
Melissa and Jamie met in Pre-K and have been friends ever since. Their friendship has stood the test of time and has lasted over TWO decades. Growing up attached at the hip, they had to be separated by many teachers and church leaders, which to their dismay- never lasted long. They've watched each other grow up and go through this crazy thing called life. So it only makes sense for Melissa to be right there beside Jamie as she gets married and starts the next chapter.❤️
Sam Gabriels
Groomsman
Sam Gabriel's is one of Nate's closest friends. Even through a rocky beginning of rejection, their friendship blossomed over the years. Be it their mutual interests or the fact they were stuck in a small dorm room for 3 years, the two slowly became best friends. While nothing in this world is ever perfect, the bond that they have formed is one that undoubtedly will stand the test of time.
Silas Parschauer
Groomsman
Silas and Nate just recently started up their friendship. What many have called the breakdown of our world, is the cornerstone to this tale. Stranded upon Cairn Campus during the height of the Covid Pandemic, the two slowly started to realize the mutual interest that they shared. Silas and Nate's equally passionate and carefree personalities instantly clicked. The two formed a close bond and their crazy and chaotic adventures, to this day, have yet to cease.
Greg Matrey
Groomsman
Greg and Nate watched each other grow through the years. Of all the friend's present, it's safe to say Greg has known Nate the longest. While on the surface their friendship may seem all jokes and laughter, there is a far deeper underlying bond. The two have supported and stood by each other from the beginning. The light humor and comradery gave both a self of purpose and belonging. The humble beginning of this friendship created the ground work that allowed each to become the people they are today.
Noah Wilde
Groomsman
This is a friendship that neither expected yet neither regret. Brought together through mutual friends, Noah and Nate quickly began to realize the interest that they shared. While both thrive off teasing the other, both know the support and encouragement the other would always unconditionally give. Noah's quick wit and kind heart matched with Nate's crazy spirit and unwavering loyalty have created an unusual bond that appears odd to most, yet neither would change it for the world.
