Wedding Party
Kat Mena
Maid of Honor
Kat and Molly met the very first week of college and instantly were best friends. They bonded over preferring a night of pizza and quality conversations to going out to the bars. She proceeded to be the person to introduce Molly and Josh to each other. Soooo basically she's the one to thank for this whole shindig.
Emily Billman
Maid of Honor
Emily and Molly first met during a Thanksgiving Feast in a dining hall freshman year of college. After studying abroad the same semester and traveling Europe together, they became besties. Emily is known for always doing Molly's hair and makeup and for being her style aficionado (so yes, she's helping a ton with the big day).
Grace Sauereisen
Bridesmaid
Grace and Molly have been friends ever since they met in "time for two's" preschool when they were itty bitty and have remained super close ever since. Grace and Molly went through a MAJOR "theater kid" phase together, where Grace was always the lead and Molly was always some unimportant background character.
Lindsey Nelson
Bridesmaid
Lindsey and Molly met at a Younglife "Meet and Greet" freshman year of college - I guess it worked! She very quickly became a lifelong friend. Nel, as her friends call her, is a loyal, kind, and intentional friend who is ALWAYS down for a good time.
Libby Friend
Bridesmaid
Libby and Molly have been friends since they were literally infants. Their moms were also best friends growing up and they were in each others weddings, so really this was inevitable. Libby and Molly went through every cringey life stage together and somehow still turned out okay.
Grace Westfall
Bridesmaid
Grace and Molly have worked together at Summer's Best Two Weeks for the past four summers. The two of them can often be found wearing ridiculous outfits, cleaning up after "messy" campers, or on the Putt Putt Leaderboard.
Ashley Hetherington
Bridesmaid
Ashley and Molly met the first week of college when Ashley overwhelmed Molly with her persistence towards "getting coffee" together. Thank goodness Molly finally gave in because she gained a friendship with one of the kindest and wisest souls.
Tessa Wyner
Bridesmaid
Tessa is Josh's little sister and is definitely the athlete in the family (sorry, Josh). As a D1 volleyball player and future veterinarian, Tessa certainly knows how to work hard. She's as sweet as they get and has a heart of gold.
Sammy Bernacki
Bridesmaid
Sammy and Molly go wayyy back to the Bus 14 days. Whether playing "Sweet or Salty" on the back of the bus or riding golf carts around Sammy's backyard, Molly and Sammy were always down for adventures.
Elisa Iglesia
Bridesmaid
Elisa and Molly got close when Elisa lived in a dorm "quad" with three of Molly's other best friends (see Kat, Ashley, and Lindsey). Since Molly essentially lived in their room, Elisa and her truly had no choice but to spend way too much time together and the rest was history.
David Smith
Best Man
David and Josh went to high school together but didn't become close until they went to college at different schools. They would keep in contact during the semesters, and then during winter and summer breaks would spend a lot of time together playing sports video games, taking pictures, and eating good food. David is currently in his first year of medical school at WVU. David is single.
Johnny Dudinec
Groomsman
Johnny and Josh met at the very beginning of their junior of college in a physiology lab. They recognized each other from other classes but had never met each other. This partnership in class quickly grew into a friendship that led to Johnny and Josh spending loads of time studying together, getting stir fry from the student center, and talking about cute girls (don't worry, the only cute girl Josh is talking about now is the one he's about to marry.) Johnny is currently a second year medical student at Duke University. Sorry, Johnny is not single.
Drew Conner
Groomsman
Drew and Josh lived in the same dorm during their freshman year of college. They met at the beginning of the year when they laughed at what a group of girls was saying as they walked by. Drew and Josh spent a lot of time studying together, going to dining halls together, and talking about the show The Office together. Drew is currently in his second year of medical school at Ohio University. Sorry, Drew is not single.
Brock Morris
Groomsman
Brock and Josh went to high school together and became close around their junior or senior year. Brock really got to know Josh well when they were spending the night at a friend's house and Josh slept talk to Brock that "there was a grenade under his couch and he needed to move ASAP". Brock is currently in flight school in Indianapolis. Brock is not single.
Jake Senger
Groomsman
Jake and Josh met through Younglife during their freshman year of college. They were in the same Bible study throughout their four years of college and even lived together as housemates the last two of them. It's safe to say that being friends with Jake brought out the competitive side of Josh. Jake currently works for the Columbus Crew. Sorry, he is not single.
Aaron Lane
Groomsman
Aaron and Josh met during their freshman year of college through Younglife and were roommates during their sophomore year. They were in the same Bible study in college and continued to live together as housemates during their junior and senior year. Yes, we know, Aaron is hot; however, he is not single.
Dylan Akers
Groomsman
Dylan and Josh also met through Younglife their freshman year of college and were in the same Bible study during the duration of college. Dylan Akers, or "Dakers," as he was called in college lived with Josh as a housemate during junior and senior year. Dylan is currently a Mental Health Specialist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. He just got married in August of 2020, and no ladies, he is not single.
Paul Kanner
Groomsman
Paul and Josh met through Younglife during their freshman of college and also were in the same Bible study. This eventually led to them being roommates during junior year in their college house. Paul and Josh were infamous for having opposite schedules. For example, if Josh was going to bed at 10 pm, Paul would be just waking up. If Paul was going to bed at 7 am, Josh would be waking up. Paul is a recent graduate of Miami Ohio, and no ladies, he is not single.
Matt Mendelson
Groomsman
Matt is Molly's older brother and is a native of Pittsburgh. He recently started working in real estate and is doing very well. Matt takes his job, his clients, his family, and his car very seriously. He has a great sense of humor, but underneath all of the laughs is genuine heart that cares about people. Matt is single.
Michael Mendelson
Groomsman
Michael is Molly's little brother. Also a Pittsburgh native, he recently ventured down to Atlanta, Georgia where he started as a freshman at Georgia Tech. Michael is studying biomedical engineering. He has no idea what he wants to do yet, but there is no doubt the next discovery in medicine, any invention to help surgeons, or the next piece of technology to make life easier will have Michael's name attached to it. Michael is single.
