Austin & Melissa
Wedding Party
Kelsey Brandstatter
Maid of Honor
Kelsey and I met one night when she came down to Florida. Her and I had a deep conversation, and gave me the best advice ever...for a slightly drunk person haha. Austin and I ended up moving in with Kelsey and her fiance Joey and honestly I felt as though I truly had a big sister. We got close, had crazy moments together and even though we are now 1000 miles away, we still facetime almost everyday. I am so blessed that she said yes to being the person right next to me on the big day!
Joseph Frankle
Best Man
Joey and I first met at football in high school when I was a freshman and he was a senior. We didn't talk much during football and quite honestly he made fun of me a lot lol. Later on I found out he was dating my oldest cousin and I wanted to give him a punch in his noggin. Eventually we got closer and became good friends. We really formed a bond when Missy and I moved in with him and Kelsey. He truly feel like another brother to me and he always gave me extra meat on my sandwich at dunkin! Our wedding day would not be complete without Joey being my honorary best man in physical place of my Pappy.
Stevie Fondacaro
Bridesmaid
Stevie and I met back in 6th grade history class. We never really got close until I found out she was moving into my neighborhood. Since then we have been inseparable. We may not see each other everyday, but the moment we see each other, its like no time has even passed. She has truly been my closest friend since middle school. She has such a big heart and always has good advice. I am so glad she said yes to being a bridesmaid and being there for me on the big day !
Bubba Eppihimer
Groomsman
Bubba is my oldest brother and has always been the closest to me. We have always had a special relationship and when Bubba was in first grade and I was in Kindergarten, the school administration knew I was the only one who could calm him down so I would often get called into his class to calm him down. He always tries to teach me stuff about cars, but I can never understand which is why I always go to him when it comes to that stuff. Him and I still have a close relationship and I'm looking forward to him being up there with me on the big day!
Maddison Santangelo
Bridesmaid
Maddie and I only recently met since her and Carl (Austins youngest brother) started dating. Austins' mother had been telling me for quite some time that she thinks Maddie and I will get along great, and well what do you know, come Christmas time up in PA, Maddie and I got along as if we had known each other our whole lives! She is genuinely someone I am so glad to be friends with and someone I consider a really close friend and that's why I am so excited that she will be up there with me on our big day!
Carl Eppihimer
Groomsman
Carl is my youngest brother and he always finds a way to cheer me up when I'm down. He really doesn't have a verbal filter which can be a good or bad thing depending on the situation he gets himself in! We've always shared a love for football and that honestly brought us closer. We may not live together anymore but he always also finds a way to annoy the heck out of me even from a thousand miles away! We continue to grow closer each day and even though he wanted to skip our rehearsal dinner for a football game, I still love him. Oh, and Carl, if your reading this, I'll bring you some aloe!
Kayla Koyste
Bridesmaid
Kayla and I met through Kelsey as she is her younger sister. Instantly we connected and bonded over random stuff. She has such a big heart, and instantly welcomed me into her family. I miss seeing her all the time, and being able to spend a lot of time together, but we still manage to have an amazing friendship from 1000 miles away. I'm so excited to have her up there with me on the big day!
Marvin Brandstatter
Groomsman
Me and Marvin are cousins and we used to never be the closest but ever since i moved to Pennsylvania for like 6-7 months we became really close. We were almost inseperatable and now he will be in my wedding as a groomsman. I cant wait for you to be upfront with me on my special day.
Jessie Chiang
Bridesmaid
Jessie and I met at church at a youth group game night! Ever since then we instantly connected! We have hung out almost every week since then, and she has been such a huge help with the overall wedding. I’m so glad we met and have become instant friends. I’m so glad she said yes to being in my wedding!
Gabe Miller
Groomsman
Me and Gabe Miller are really good friends. He was the first person to ever say hi to me when i moved to Florida and started at Jensen Beach. Me and Gabe always wanted to go against each other in football practice to always try to prove to one another who was the strongest between the two of us. 9 times out of 10 I would always beat him in whatever drill we were doing. The only reason why he beat me in some of the drills is because he could always get lower then me due to his height:) I cant wait for you to be up there next to me on the special day.
Morgan Koyste
Bridesmaid
Morgan and I first bonded up in PA through Kelsey. She has such a huge heart and the best knowledge of all things health and body. I truly look up to her skills in hair and makeup, and love how she is such a light through all times of darkness. We share a special "weight" bond lol and I am truly blessed to call her a friend and one of my bridesmaids!
Luis Bigio
Groomsman
Me and Luis first met when I started my new job at RT Moore. My first day at RT Moore he kept looking at me weird like I was some kind of weird guy and I thought to myself I never wanna work with that guy while I'm here but hey what do you know he is now my crew leader and one of my closest friends. (And ps i make all of his money for him lol). I can't wait for you to be up there next to me on the special day. If your reading this Luis. ooooy ooy oooy don't be like this Luis.
Anne Johnston
Flower Girl
Anne is Melissa's grandmother, and has always been one of her biggest supporters. She was always there for Melissa as a friend and an advisor. She has such a charismatic personality and will do anything you ask of her. Throughout the turmoils of life, Anne was always there to take care of Melissa, and be her supporter; this is why she has an honourable place in the wedding as a flower girl.
Cindy Brandstatter
Flower Girl
Oh boy time for this one. Well ya see here this is my grandma (Austin). This lady is one of the most caring ladies in the world. She will do anything you need her to do. She will stop what she was doing at the exact moment and help you with whatever you needed help with. She has one of the most biggest hearts I think a person could ever have. I'm so happy to call you our flower girl but most importantly my Redneck Grandma. Love Ya.
Madden Brandstatter
Ring Bearer
Madden Brandstatter is my youngest cousin (Austin). The reason why i chose madden as my Ring Bearer is because he has a good sense of humor and he will make bringing the rings down to us an joyful event for our families and friends as well as Me and Melissa. Me and Madden used to be really really close but ever since he hit the teenage stage he turned into a little butthead. One time when me and madden were in an elevator on a cruise me and him were talking in a british accent and people from England actually asked us what part of England we were from. So I'm sure he will impress you with his impeccable British accent. So if you see him just tell him to speak in a british accent.
