Stacy & Ryan
Wedding Party
Milan Silverman
Maid of Honor
Meet Milan, the maid of honor for our special day. Milan and Stacy’s relationship developed sophomore year at Salisbury University when Milan needed a ride to the honor society function they were both attending. Their relationship blossomed as they became workout buddies going to Zumba and Pilates classes together. Stacy would give Milan rides to campus and they would always make a pit stop to get a caramel iced coffee before class - no matter how cold it was outside. The two later became roommates and have been inseparable ever since. Over the years, Milan has been there for me through thick and thin, and I couldn't imagine getting married without her by my side. We love Milan has an infectious personality she is always the social butterfly of the party, I know she'll make our wedding celebration unforgettable. Milan has a HUGE heart and I am extremely grateful to have her support and friendship during this exciting time of my life. While we will never be blood-related we consider Milan to be part of the family.
Garrett Faber
Best Man
Garrett has always been there for me since day one, being not only an older brother but also a friend and a role model. He's been my go-to person for advice, support, and encouragement throughout my life. I'm lucky to have him as my older brother, but even luckier to have him as my best man. Growing up, Garrett always took care of me and made sure I stayed out of trouble. He taught me how to ride a bike, play basketball, and drive a car. He also helped me with my homework, listened to my problems, and shared his wisdom and experience with me. As we got older, our relationship only grew stronger. Garrett was always there to celebrate my successes and lift me up during my failures. He's been a constant source of inspiration, always pushing me to be my best self. In addition to being an amazing brother, Garrett is also an accomplished professional, a loving husband, and a caring father. He's an expert in his field and a respected member of his community. He's also a devoted family man who puts his wife and kids above everything else. I can't imagine anyone else standing by my side on my wedding day. Garrett is not just my brother but also my best friend, and I'm proud to have him as my best man.
Brandi Hill
Bridesmaid
Brandi and Stacy developed their friendship over their mutual love of horses. After high school Brandi moved to Oklahoma but the two became close again after Brandi moved back to Maryland. They replaced their early morning horse shows for coffee dates at their favorite spot, Risë Up Coffee. Brandi is a nurse practitioner at Johns Hopkins and is Stacy’s go to with just about every medical question. Everyone needs a nurse friend to save them from WebMD! But don’t worry, Brandi comes to Stacy with all of her accounting questions. Brandi has been Stacy’s steadfast friend, watching her grow up from a horse-obsessed teen to being by her side now as she marries the love of her life.
Luke Kolbeck
Groomsman
Luke is one of the most intelligent and driven people I know. He has a thirst for knowledge and a passion for excellence that has driven him to achieve great things. He is also incredibly kind and empathetic, always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. During our college years, Luke was always at the top of his class, balancing his academic achievements with his extracurricular activities. He was a talented musician, a skilled athlete, and an active member of various clubs and organizations. He has always been an inspiration to me, and I am proud to call him my friend.
Valerie Ofer
Bridesmaid
Valerie and Stacy’s relationship developed while attending Sunday school. Valerie was new to their church and when Stacy found out she was also a horse girl she knew she was going to make Valerie become her friend. Stacy’s plan worked and the two have been friends ever since! If you want a catch-up with Valerie don’t try to text her, she is an old-school talk-on-the-phone kind of gal. Valerie is married to a Navy pilot, and the two have been able to bond over the difficulties of long-distance relationships. We love Valerie for her cheeky sense of humor. Hanging out with Valerie always ends with us laughing so hard we are in tears!
Tyler Bowman
Groomsman
Tyler has always been a true friend, someone who is there for you no matter what. He is kind, loyal, and caring, and he has a heart of gold. He has always been passionate about sports and his family, and he has a way of inspiring those around him to follow their dreams. I remember many adventures we had together as kids, from building forts to playing video games to riding our bikes. But even as we grew older and went our separate ways, Tyler always remained a constant presence in my life. He was there for me when I needed him most, offering a listening ear and a helping hand. Tyler lives in Taneytown with his wife Katie and his beautiful daughter Emberly.
Sarah Walters
Bridesmaid
Meet Sarah, Stacy’s oldest sister. Growing up, the two shared a bedroom, but that’s not the only thing they shared. Back in the day, Sarah left for high school well before Stacy had to leave for middle school which gave Stacy the perfect opportunity to steal her older sister’s clothes and return them before she got home. Stacy has always looked up to her sisters and wanted to be just like them. Sarah is a preschool teacher which is the perfect career for her warm heart and nurturing soul. Stacy was never a big fan of kids until Sarah made her an aunt, now Stacy loves it when her niece and nephew come to visit. We are excited to have Sarah and her children stand by our side as we say our vows and commit to a life love and partnership.
Caine Moorehead
Groomsman
Caine, a dear friend who has been a part of my life since we were young boys. Caine and I grew up together attending the same school, and we've been through so much together over the years. As kids, Caine and I used to spend hours playing together, getting into all kinds of mischief, and exploring the world around us. He was always the adventurous one, leading us on all kinds of wild and exciting adventures. He has a zest for life that is truly infectious, and I'm grateful to have him as a friend.
Kelly Moore
Bridesmaid
Kelly is Stacy’s older sister and she was instrumental in teaching her important life skills such as communication, negotiation, conflict resolution, and sharing (if you have a sibling you understand). Growing up, Kelly was always there for Stacy, whether it was helping with homework, giving her a ride, photographing her horse show, or just offering a listening ear. Kelly is Stacy's go-to person to call when she is stuck in DC traffic, she can always count on Kelly to pick up the phone and entertain her during her commute. Kelly is a testament to the power of sisterhood, and we are grateful to have her as a part of this joyous occasion.
Roberto Ugarte
Groomsman
Roberto has been my best friend since grade school. As kids, we used to play together all the time, riding bikes, playing video games, playing sports, and exploring the world around us. Roberto was always the adventurous one, never afraid to take risks or try new things. He has a thirst for life that has inspired me many times over the years. Roberto is a lawyer in Hanover, Maryland, and lives with his beautiful wife Silvia, and their two fur babies Nutella and Georgio.
Jessica Faber
Bridesmaid
Jessica is Stacy’s childhood friend and now her future sister-in-law! The two grew up together doing gymnastics, dance, Girl Scouts, and Sunday school. Even though Jessica is two years older (the same age as her sister Kelly), the two became close due to their mutual love of horses. Every morning before school started Stacy would jump into Jessica’s truck and they would chat until the bell rang. People at school often thought Jessica and Stacy were sisters because they were always together. It is crazy to think that now 10ish years later we will be sisters! Jessica and Garrett take full credit for introducing Stacy and Ryan at their own wedding! Jessica and Garrett still live in Macon, Georgia with their beautiful daughter Evelyn who was born on August 22, 2022.
Nick Sanders
Groomsman
I met Nick in college, and from the moment we moved into the same dorm, I knew that we would be lifelong friends. Over the years, we have shared countless memories, laughs, and adventures. Nick is one of the most genuine and kind-hearted people I know. He has an infectious energy that makes everyone around him feel comfortable and happy. He has always been there for me, through the good times and the bad, and I am grateful for his unwavering support. Nick is a man of many talents and passions. He is a brilliant musician, a talented athlete, and a dedicated student. He has a thirst for knowledge and a hunger for adventure that never cease to amaze me.
