Wedding Party
Caroline Bethel
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Caroline met in 2014 at Lebanon Valley College when they were assigned to be random roommates in their freshman year dorm, Mary Green Hall. 12 years later, they have been best friends ever since. Rachel and Caroline have taken many flights to visit each other over the years and have also cruised together multiple times. Mike Keeler refers to Caroline as "his other daughter." Caroline lives in California and won the award for the person who traveled the farthest for the wedding.
Abigail Younes
Bridesmaid
Abby and Rachel met in 2014 at Lebanon Valley College when their dorm rooms were down the hall from each other in Mary Green Hall. They have spent many years listening to musicals, watching New Girl, and drinking wine together. Collectively, Abby and Rachel have owned and killed a handful of fish, however, Abby's current fish Raisin 2 seems to still be going strong. Abby is traveling from Camp Hill, PA to be a part of our wedding day.
Rebecca Mulwhalen
Bridesmaid
Becca and Rachel met at, you guessed it, Mary Green Hall at Lebanon Valley College in 2014. Becca and Rachel bonded over the premiere of the One Direction music video for "Steal My Girl" (RIP Liam). Becca, who is a dog person at heart, recently adopted her first cat so we're all excited to welcome her to the cat people side. Becca is traveling from Carlisle, PA to be a part of our wedding day.
Sydney Caruso
Bridesmaid
Sydney and Rachel met when Sydney started dating groomsman Anthony Caruso. Sydney and Rachel quickly hit it off and began planning weekends to visit each other. Sydney is a fantastic homesteader who graciously keeps Rachel and Sam supplied with homemade canned goods. Sydney and Anthony will soon be welcoming a sweet baby to their family and are traveling from Middleburg, PA to be a part of our wedding day.
Ryan Kingshill
Best Man
Samuel and Ryan met in 2013. Both had aspirations to play college football, but only possessed Division III talent. They met as Dutchmen on the gridiron of Lebanon Valley College. In 2018, they moved in together to tackle the challenge of law school. They both graduated from Penn State Dickinson School of Law. In 2022, Samuel was the officiant at Ryan's wedding, and Samuel is the (self-proclaimed) Godfather to Ryan's daughter, Baby Ruth. Ryan is traveling from Delaware to be a part of our wedding day.
Anthony Caruso
Groomsman
Samuel and Anthony met in 2013. Both had aspirations to play college football, but only possessed Division III talent. They met as Dutchmen on the gridiron of Lebanon Valley College. From outside looking in, these two men could not be more different, but anyone who knows them well will tell you these two are the same person. They immediately bonded over their love of random niche movie and TV quotes. Anthony is traveling from Middleburg, PA to be a part of our wedding day.
Dylan Yost
Groomsman
Samuel and Dylan met in 2013. Both had aspirations to play college football, but only possessed Division III talent. They met as Dutchmen on the gridiron of Lebanon Valley College. Even though Dylan made the much smarter decision to stop playing football, that did not keep Samuel and Dylan apart. They lived together the summer before their senior year of college and bonded over Pokémon Go and tailgating music concerts in Hershey, PA. Dylan is traveling from Harrisburg, PA to be a part of our wedding day.
Dave Woolsey
Groomsman
Just for some variety, Samuel and Dave did not meet at LVC or on a football field. Samuel and Dave met in 2014 through a mutual friend and fellow groomsman, Ryan. Samuel and Dave initially bonded over their shared burden of attempting to communicate with Ryan via text. Their bond grew stronger over Firefly music festivals, almost being eaten by a shark, 12-hour round-trip trips to visit each other and their love of food. Dave is traveling from Delaware to be a part of our wedding day.
