Connor Line

Officiant

Connor has worn many hats in our lives! I have known Connor since high school - since then he sold us our first home and will be the person to marry us! Search Big Spring Channel 3 news on Youtube for his best theatre skills. ;-)

Melissa Manna Rutherford

Matron of Honor

Melissa is my sister and also the reason Matt and I know each other in the first place! After multiple attempts to make a connection between the two of us she finally succeeded at a bar in downtown Pittsburgh. Melissa loves to get down, so she'll see you on the dance floor. She really likes yoga and crystals, so feel free to strike up a conversation!

Harry Young

Man of Honor

Harry and I met at Stallions night club ages ago. Ever since we have basically morphed into the same person, only Harry has better taste. We both have a love for cocktails, cooking and entertaining. It's safe to say we are pretty much inseparable.

Emily Line

Bridesmaid

Emily and I met in elementary school, I believe in first grade. Since then we have experienced all of life and growing up together. I can't begin to list the amount of fun Emily is at parties... you'll just have to see for yourself!

Maria Weltman

Bridesmaid

Maria and I met our first terrifying day of middle school in homeroom. She invited me to go with her to Hersheypark for the day and the rest is history!

Rosie McCrea

Bridesmaid

Rosie and I met through Big Spring Aquatic Club when we were in the 8 and under age group. We have competed against each other for so many years in the pool, but have always been the closest friends. Rosie married another amazing friend of mine, and I couldn't be happier to have had them in my lives for more than half of my life. Rosie was the first of our friend group to have a precious baby, forever changing my views of children... now I can't stop spoiling them all!

Des Scalavino

Bridesmaid

Des and I met in middle school, she is always the best time. She is slow to text back, but always there when you need her! Despite all of her jobs all over the country, we have remained best friends... I couldn't be happier that she's back in PA!

Shawn Eaton

Best Man

Shawn and I met a little over 30 years ago and now we’ve been friends for 15 years! He is my number one festival-going accomplice and even though he likes Twiddle, he is the best brother I could possibly ask for. Thanks to countless empty bottles of Jäger and Rumple Minze, our sibling relationship gets stronger with each unnecessary shot. He is an important role model for me, and someone who helps me to grow and evolve every day. He taught me how to use my first hammer, and for that, he will always be someone I look up to and appreciate.

Zach Persichetti

Groomsman

I met Zach in High School when he showed up unannounced to a traditional Jim and Kath’s Basement Party. I wanted to kick him out but he brought beer so we all agreed he could stay. Since then, Zach has been to the Eaton Family Camp multiple times, we went to college together, lived in the same house, and I was in his wedding. He is truly one of the kindest and nicest people in the world; a true best friend.

Shannon Persichetti

Groomswoman

In 2005, Velvet Revolver played a show in Pittsburgh and thanks to Scott Weiland’s vocal skills (RIP), Shannon and I became instant besties. We now go to about 46 shows a year together, spend countless dollars doing an outside brunch, and occasionally garner ire from Phish Phans who want to yell at us (her) for talking too much during the Harry Hood Peak. I am beyond lucky to have Shannon in my life and her importance to me is and will continue to be immeasurable.

Bryan Schulz

Groomsman

When I first met Bryan, he was a Cowboy. He has since merged into this unique Hipster-Cowboy-Beekeeper. You will never find someone with a better Civil War Era mustache. He is one of the most genuine and honest people I know, and I am so grateful to have him as a best friend.

Alisha Schulz

Groomswoman

I met Alisha at Virgin Mobile Free Fest when she was being courted by Bryan. We were super best friends after sharing an affinity for the stylings of Skrillex. Alisha and Bryan got married, and now she is my absolute favorite Equestrian Instagram Influencer. Kate and Alisha immediately clicked during some Harrisburg weeknight escapades and I cannot imagine a more loyal and dependable person to have on our side.

Ashley Mowery

Groomswoman

A few short years ago, Ashley and I both needed a roommate. She was coming from Ohio, posted an ad on Craigslist that I answered, and we fell in roommate love. We spent an entire Summer gossiping and bonding. Our favorite activity consisted of me watching a movie while she slept on the couch. She has always been someone I can easily confide in and will be a best friend for life.
