Wedding Party

Pauline Maas

Mother of the Bride

Grace Heim

Maid of Honor

Grace and I met at Bethany Camp several years back. We also did Bible Quizzing together for 2 years and our friendship has blossomed since then.

Naomi Fisher

Bridesmaid

Naomi and I became close friends through church. We sang together on the worship team until she went off to college. Even though she was Phillip's best friend first (since Kindergarten), I have claimed her as one of my best friends as well.

Krista Koontz

Bridesmaid

I met Krista through Zach since she is soon to be married to Donnie ( who is Zach's step-brother/ Best man). It has been wonderful getting to know her over the last year and I can't wait to be able to call her my sister-in-law

Rachael Fortney

Bridesmaid

Rachael and I became friends in high school when I started going to Chautauqua Lake. We went to our schools Christian club and would do Bible studies together at her house. I will never forget when we first met and she told me she was praying for one of my uncle's and asked how he was. Fun fact: She was the one who introduced Zach and I to each other

Keely Wood

Bridesmaid

Oh, where do I even begin? Keely and I have known each other since elementary school when we went to Ripley. At the time both our families also went to the same church. We didn't become close until I ended up going to JCC (7-8 years later). I'm thankful God had us cross paths several years after elementary school

Britannie Monn

Bridesmaid

We also met at Bethany Camp back in 2016. We camped and worked there together in the Kitchen. We never thought we would cross paths again. However, she also went to JCC and was one of Keely's roommates. Once in a while I would also stay with her, Keely, and one of their other roommates Rachel. Now she lives several states away but we are still in contact.

Rachel Henry

Bridesmaid

Rachel and I met at JCC and have been friends since. Shortly after we met we found out we both lived fairly close to each other. In Ripley.....

Shelly Schaffer

Mother of the Groom

Eric Moyer

Father of the Groom

Donnie Schaffer

Best Man

Zach's step-brother. Even though they have an age gap and distance gap between each other, they are very close. Zach was a part of Donnie's first wedding so he wanted Donnie to be a part of his special day as well.

Phillip Maas

Groomsman

Alyssa's brother. Over the past year, Zach has come to enjoy Phillip's unique humor. They have gotten closer over the past few months and look forward to being able to call each other family.

Timothy Frudd

Groomsman

Tim and Zach met through one of the Bible studies Tim held at his house. Zach started virtually joining each Sunday after he started dating Alyssa. Overtime, Zach came to love and enjoy Tim's sarcasm.

Jacob Bailey

Groomsman

The man. The myth. The legend. Jacob is what Zach calls the "Super Star Youth Pastor". Zach and Jacob met each other at Houghton during "Accepted Student Week".

Jacob (Jake) Wood

Groomsman

Jake and Zach met at a friend's going away party (but Alyssa knew him first). One of the things Zach likes about Jake is how compassionate and down to earth he is. It has been an honor getting to know him and his wife Keely

Seth Feldman

Groomsman

Seth, Jacob, and Zach were "The Crew" at Houghton. Seth and Zach met through Jacob and through all the times the three of them would hang out, Seth and Zach's friendship grew (especially after Jacob graduated). Fun Fact: Seth would bring Zach's mail (from Alyssa) and coffee to him while he was in quarantine the week before classes. What a great friend!

Andy Simko

Groomsman

Andy and Zach also met each other at Tim's Bible study. Even though they don't see each other much in person because Zach's virtual for Bible Study, he never fails to make Zach (or everyone else in the group) laugh.
