Wedding Party
Marann Curtis
Bride
Born and raised in Erie, PA. Moved to sunny Florida in June of 2017! She is the only girl of 4 older brothers. Marann grew up performing and still loves the stage! Good thing, or else, she never would have met Ryan!
Ryan Bishop
Groom
Ryan was born in Kissimmee, FL and is the youngest in the family. He has had many ups and downs in his life like everyone else, but one thing remained constant and that is his love for jazz. Without branching out into a different side of the arts, he would have never met Marann!
Miranda Elliot
Matron of Honor
Miranda "Randy" and Marann have one the best friend stories ever that involves batman and a princess (the picture above). They have been best friends since high school (even though their story goes back to preschool). Randy means the world to Marann and she would be lost without her in her life. They have both gone through some of life's biggest challenges together but being able to count on each other has seen them through!
Jordy Motta
Best Man
An unlikely duo of the sorts. First unofficial meeting in 7th grade All-County band, they didn't speak to each other when they were literally sitting right next to each other. Fast forward to just a couple of years later in high school, that is when their friendship blossomed into something unique. Following each other to college and beyond making memories that will last forever.
Greg Wilczynski
Man of Honor
Greg and Marann met performing in " The Shoemakers Elves" at the Erie Playhouse Youtheatre and have been best friends ever since. Greg is a rock for Marann and keeps her grounded. They can count on each other through thick and thin. Only a few special people come into you life are are "willing to catch your vomit" (pic above and it was staged) and Greg is defiantly one of the special ones!
Luc Lacher
Groomsman
Ryan met Luc through the UNF Jazz program and would usually hang out when others were around. Although neither of them would stay in the program, they still were good acquaintances through their friend group. Having no place to live after college, they got an apartment with their other friend Jordan and have been at each others side ever since.
Christina Sawyer
Bridesmaid
Christina was one of Marann's first friends in Florida. God places certain people in your life when you need them the most and Christina and her amazing family were placed at the right time. Christina is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet and Marann is beyond grateful for the friendship of her and her family.
Kevin Motta
Groomsman
Kevin and Ryan developed a friendship extremely fast. Bonding over their love of basketball and music. They both went to UNF together where they would developed a longer lasting friendship that continues to make memories.
Heidi Schultz
Bridesmaid
Marann met Heidi doing West Side Story at the Erie Playhouse where they were both shark girls. Heidi means the world to Marann and Marann always jokes how one day when she grows up, she wants to be Heidi (although really that's not a joke!). Heidi is also another special person God placed in Marann's life and she is extremely thankful for their friendship.
Kyle Bishop
Groomsman
Ryan has known Kyle all of his life, they are brothers after all. They act like all brothers do but no matter what, they have each others back. Ryan wouldn't know what it is like to not have a brother, and he has loved everyday knowing that he has Kyle as one.
Teri Zalewski
Bridesmaid
Teri and Marann met doing shows at the Erie Playhouse (notice a trend). Teri is the kind of friend that will help you burry the body and not tell a soul. Teri and Marann have done many shows together and moved from the snowy world of Erie to the tropical world of Florida (not at the same time). It was nice to have a safe space when Marann finally made the big move to Florida. A lot of their memories involve laughing so hard till they cried and or peed! Marann is extremely grateful for Teri's friendship!
