Madaline & Zac
Meet the Wedding Party
Zac Baker
Groom
Avid record collector, smarty pants, and joy of my life, Zachary Lewis Baker I am so happy to spend the rest of my life with you. We've shared so many wonderful moments as well as some crazy experiences. I was first introduced to Zac's dad through our gap year program because part of our credits was through volunteer service and students were placed at organizations around the Lancaster area. I was placed with Unto (originally G.A.I.N) and one time we did a bean and rice packing event when Zac was supposed to volunteer elsewhere but began helping out knowing I would be there. We were by the rice bins and he began throwing the extra rice at me in front of his mother Judy. It was a clear sign of our future! I looked at his Mom confused and we both just laughed. Love you Zac. You surprise me each day and I am forever blessed to marry the person who loves me the way you do.
Madaline Borghi
Bride
Beautiful goofball and Chinese food addict who I had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know as a friend through our shared gap year at OneLife. Before getting to know Madaline even more personally when dating, I was able to have many wonderfully interesting experiences seeing who she was while we traveled. Having a family-oriented mindset and strong ties to her home, I was rapidly introduced to her family (and extended family) as well as many local attractions and experiences, such as Skippack village, Giuseppe's Restaurant, Green Lane Park, Stove N Tap, and my favorite, Freddy Hill's ice cream.
Steve Baker
Father of the Groom
Father, Chaos Coordinator, and a Kinks band lover. If you like music trivia this guy is you're go to man. Need a record you just can't seem to find? Call Steve. Zac's Dad was raised in Northern Virginia and he honestly has traveled all over because he is the head Packing Event Coordinator for a non-profit organization called UNTO located in Mount Joy, PA. Passing on his vinyl record enthusiasm to his sons Steve in his spare time enjoys a good book, record music playing, and a cuppa joe. I remember first meeting Steve while volunteering at the warehouse and I told him I liked records. Little did I know how big of a fan he was of the Kinks, so he took me and some friends to show off his office. I was blown away, Kinks stuff was on the floor up to the top of the walls. It was so cool!
Judy Baker
Mother of the Groom
The family's Martha Stewart, loving Mom, garden guru, and puzzle fanatic. Judy is mother of three handsome young men and two goofy dogs and wife to Steve Baker. Judy grew up in the Kulpsville area and shortly moved closer out towards central PA. Judy and Steve met at a Philly conference and has accompanied Steve on mission trips such as serving in Lithuania, Botswana, and Moldova. A fun fact about Judy is that she has an identical twin sister, Jen, but wait, it gets better and slightly confusing. They both go to the same church and used to live right next door to each other! Their bond is tight and a beautiful thing, though it makes me wonder *did they scheme all this*? Maybe not, but to top it off they both ended up marrying men named Steve. How bout them apples!
Brett Borghi
Father of the Bride
Meet my Dad, or maybe I should say Steve Irwin. As a kid my favorite thing to do with him was simply eat a bowl of cereal with whipped cream on top and watch animal planet or morning cartoons together. Brett was born and raised in Skippack, PA. "A native" as he says. Brett is the eldest of three brothers and enjoys spending time with family, friends, mother nature (A.K.A living at Lake Nockamixon), and savoring delicious food. Though he is guilty for surviving on Tasty Cakes, and Kit-Kat bars he does eat just about anything. Brett graduated from Christopher Dock High School and attended Eastern Mennonite University, VA. He's traveled to Egypt and tells me stories about it all the time. He's an intelligent man, fisher, artist, innovative fixer, giving person, and hardworking. Love you Dad!
Stacey Borghi
Mother of the Bride
My lovely mother, someone who I am honored to be raised up by. Stacey grew up in a Jewish home and at a young age converted to Christianity. Stacey grew up raising horses and dogs, showing horses, became a cheerleader, and went into the industry of cosmetology to soon run her own hair business. She traveled to England to study hair and practice on models. She also did hair at a salon in Chestnut Hill under a skilled Japanese man named Norio gaining life long clients there. After moving on from her own salon business she became a single Mom working various jobs. Currently she is a paraprofessional for North Penn School District. Her favorite things are: baking, sushi, getting her nails done, our dog Dixie, movies, laughing, and loving others with compassion.
Luke Baker
Groomsman
Luke is the middle child, the natural peacemaker, an incredibly hard working person, and genuine soul. He is an expo of assorted knowledge and a handy jack-of-all-trades. He currently works with OneLifeX in South Carolina, a business focused program stemming from my traditional gap year program. He manages students to run a retreat center while using his handyman skills to continue improving the experience. He likes traveling, staying fit, a good cup of coffee, his dog Zoe, playing disc-golf, reading, and creating for people to enjoy such as building tree tops adventure courses.
Andrew Baker
Groomsman
Andrew is the youngest brother, but has recently become the tallest of the three of us boys. From his fedora days to his now 70s hippie style meets modern skater fashion. Andrew has a defined sense of style and a friendly, easy going personality to match it. His unique sense of style reflects his wonderfully creative mind. As a young kid my brother spent days making costumes from cardboard to his phenomenal charcoal sketches, Andrew has always had a great set of skills to realize his artistic expression. Andrew is now studying fine arts and graphic design at Kutztown University.
Lance Nines
Groomsman
I've known Lance for a long time, we met through church and became close friends after learning we liked the same card game from the 90s. We've pushed each other to get better in tournaments. Lance is a very straight forward guy with a witty sense of humor. He s analytically minded but a sociable person, and has recently been accepted to a computer programming boot camp. Lance enjoys playing guitar in his free time and likes music groups such as Led Zeppelin, Rush, and Metallica among modern lesser known bands.
Robin Francesca Bickley
Bridesmaid
We first met in middle school during health class. Robin came right up to me and called me Taylor. I said, "I'm not Taylor, I'm Madaline, but my Mom chose that name for me as well before I was born". After that goofy class we've been friends ever since. Robin is a dear friend who is down to earth and the hardest working person my age that I am deeply inspired by. One of our favorite things to do at lunch time in middle school was watch for this little scooter lady who rode by about everyday. We would fabricate elaborate stories saying things like "she's secretly a spy for the government" or "she's racing someone to the Shoprite around the corner, but is she winning"?! We had a ball just making up stories, and Robin made it all the more funny!
Haley Mong
Bridesmaid
We went to middle school together and attend Immanuel Church of the Nazarene. Soon we became best friends and sang on worship team together. Haley has come into my life and truly shaped who I am. Her gentle nature in communicating with others is a gift and the joy she brings is a treasure. One night during our trip to Haley's family mobile home we got very very silly and began to what we call "de-womanize" in the kitchen for a tik-tok video. Which is basically moving around like a weird man, legs apart, slouched body, and make grunting noises. We highly recommend using this practice in an awkward situation where you may be cat called or do not want attention from a man.
Catherine Winner
Bridesmaid
We have a Winner; Catherine has been a close friend of mine since middle school who also attended my church and sang with on the worship team. She has been an influencer in my life, and someone who pushes me to live a little n laugh a lot. We are flower picking buddies and enjoy poking fun at the dramatic Bachelor franchise. She is currently attending college in California to become an actress and be a trailblazer for women trying to make it in the industry. Something I appreciate most about Catherine is how she can be the person you need to have a good time and then if you need to discuss something deep/philosophical she'll hold that conversation with you. I love it!
