Emily & Matthew
Wedding Party
Ashley Pregizer
Maid of Honor
Childhood friend of the Bride Ashley and I met the summer after 1st grade at Highpoint Swim Club in Chalfont. We were hanging around the baby pool with our younger siblings. As luck would have it, we were placed in the same 2nd grade class that next fall and have been best friends ever since. Our friendship grew through weekly hip-hop classes and sleepovers. Her family moved to Perkasie and then mine moved to Buckingham, but we didn’t let that stop us. To this day I still have her home phone number memorized! Ashley is the life of the party and one of the funniest and silliest people I know. I’m incredibly lucky to have her as a lifelong friend and MOH.
Nicholas Layman
Best Man
Brother of the Groom What can't I say about my brother Nick? This guy has been the rock in my life since we were babies. We have had so many typical brother memories together like cheating death after falling from our bunk bed as kids when Dad accidentally knocked it over, breaking a finger fighting in a cardboard appliance box, pencil stabbings, childhood pool party splashball injuries, paintball parties, moving each other out of our parents, and early mornings in my room gaming together. Nick and I have a close relationship, talk all the time, and share everything with each other whether it's our favorite game, beer, show, or movie we've seen recently to how our jobs are going. It's an honor to have you standing beside me on one of the most important days of my life. Love you brother!
Margaret Costello
Bridesmaid
Bucknell friend and sorority sister of the Bride I met Meg sophomore spring at Bucknell in an Education class. Shortly after, I encouraged her to join my sorority, Chi Omega. We lived our best lives going to mixers and formals together! After graduation, Meg and I lived in the same apartment building when we both began difficult teaching jobs near Alexandria, VA. We helped each other through that tough time. Now seven years later, Matt and I love our weekend getaways to visit Meg, her hubby Ryan, and their cat Chloe (our cat, Lulu's half sister) in NYC! Having the honor of being one of Meg's bridesmaids for her October 2019 Bethlehem Hotel wedding, I pray our wedding is half as fun as hers. Meg is a loyal friend and someone I can talk to about anything for hours.
Brian Ferry
Groomsman
Great friend of the Groom Brian and I met in the summer of 2008 at Gamerz Edge gaming center in Sicklerville, NJ. Since then, we completed our Associate's Degrees at Gloucester County College and our Bachelor's Degrees at Rutgers University in Camden together. Like most of my close friends, our roots are embedded in our mutual love for video games, great times, and good company. Ferry and I have shared many fun memories, like attending the Made in America festival in Philadelphia, late party nights at Rowan University running the beer pong tables, and long nights in our friends' basements playing video games for many days straight. While Ferry and I always know how to have a good time, we know when it's time to buckle down and get to business, which is why we get along so well.
Kathryn Layman
Bridesmaid
Sister in Law of the Groom My whole life I’ve wanted a sister and now my dreams are coming true! Kate just got married to Matt’s younger brother, Nick (our Best Man) in April! I'll always remember the fun times we've shared with our men camping at Firefly Music Festival and also the big family reunion in Maine. Whenever we see each other we have a ton to talk about, with wedding planning updates and stories from our jobs (she works with kids, too). Kate is one of the sweetest people I know and I can’t wait to stand by her side again on her reception day in April 2022, be a Layman, and do life with her.
Ryan Frank
Groomsman
Great friend of the Groom Ryan and I met at Home Depot in the summer of 2007. He worked mainly in the millwork department while I bounced around various departments, but regardless of where we were in the store, we'd always find ourselves having our own fun whether it was in the breakroom, on the floor, or outside of work. Over the years we have had so many great memories like celebrating Friendsgiving at his house, many a blurry nights in Atlantic City, and his epic bachelor party in Montreal. It was an honor to stand by his side as a groomsman in 2019 when he married Elyse. It never matters where we are or who we are with, Ryan and I always somehow manage to make our own fun and I don't think that will ever change.
Madeline Pucciarello
Bridesmaid
Bucknell friend & roommate of the Bride Maddie was one of the first people I met at Bucknell freshman year because she lived two rooms down the hall. We had some great times freshman year going to parties; everyone called us “Pooch and Schreindog,” and some people still call us that 11 years later. Sophomore year we ended up joining different sororities but Maddie would still spend lots of time in my large room in Carey House, where we’d get ready before going out. Senior year we lived in an on-campus apartment together and had so many laughs watching the Bachelor and playing Heads Up with our other roommates. Since graduating, we don’t see each other nearly enough but whenever we do, it's as if no time has passed! I will always appreciate Maddie for her incredible strength and honesty.
Randall Kennedy
Groomsman
Great friend of the Groom Randy and I met in the fall of 2006 when I transferred to Clearview Regional High School where we graduated together. Randy got me my very first job at Heritage's in Mullica Hill and helped me get my foot in the door at Home Depot, where I ended up working for over 8 years. Randy and I had so many good times during and after high school, like getting Clearview banned from the All Star Hotel forever for crashing their pool at 2AM on the senior trip, the senior scavenger hunt, throwing water balloons at our classmates on the last day of high school, multiple LAN events, and long nights of partying and playing poker in our youth and not so youth. No matter how much time passes between our lives, Randy and I always pick up right where we leave off.
Sarah Thompson
Bridesmaid
Bucknell friend & roommate of the Bride Sarah and I were freshman year roommates at Bucknell. They emailed us our roommate’s name at midnight one night in July and by 12:02 we were Facebook friends, stalking each other, and chatting. We met the following week at a Starbucks in Princeton, NJ where we discussed who was bringing what and if we were going to loft our beds. Freshman year had its ups and downs, but one thing I know for certain is that I could not have been given a more compassionate, forgiving, and reliable roommate. Our friendship shifted gears as we're no longer roommates for the other 3 years—in fact, she was my RA senior year. Sarah will always be my favorite friend to cheer on Bucknell men’s basketball with, and I can always count on her to wish me a happy April Fools Day.
Joseph Schreiner
Groomsman
Brother of the Bride My future brother in law Joe and I never run out of things to talk about whether it's sports, school, video games, girls, and family. I've had the pleasure of showing Joe how to open and close a bar tab when he turned 21, partying it up and sleeping on his fraternity room floor at Bucknell, late nights at the Doylestown bars, and celebrating wonderful moments with his family on holidays and special occasions. I can't wait to have another brother in my life. I am thankful Joe and I get along so well, and I'm so excited to see our relationship grow in the future.
Victoria Titus
Bridesmaid
Bucknell friend of the Bride Tori and I met freshman year through a couple of clubs and organizations we both dabbled in at Bucknell, but it wasn’t until junior year when our friendship truly began. We went on a university service trip to New Orleans and well, not much brings ya closer than drywalling a house and sleeping on bunk beds with 30 other people! Senior year we celebrated basically every Friday by having a late lunch at Red Robin and catching up on our week. Now, we live like an hour apart and enjoy sushi happy hour, or a double date with our guys. Tori is such a good listener and always keeps it real. I can't wait to stand by her side as a bridesmaid when she marries Tej in May 2022.
Michael Welsh
Groomsman
Great friend of the Groom Mike and I met in the summer of 2007 when I stepped foot into his place of work at Interpeer gaming center in Williamstown, NJ. Ever since that day, it's been a match made in heaven. We have so much in common from our love of video games and technology, trash talking each other constantly, long nights of partying, poker, beer pong, and hanging with our friends. While Mike and I met outside of school, that has never stood in the way of our incredible friendship over the years. We have always been there for each other and will continue to be there for the rest of our lives. Don't let our harsh words to each other fool you when you see us, we love each other like brothers and I'm so pumped to have this guy be a part of my wedding.
