For those who don’t know Jeff and Nat, who are you and how did you find this page? The pair met at a bar in Towson by chance and went on a date within a week of meeting. 2+ years later and now they’re engaged and ready to be married! It just so happens the two went to middle school together, Jeff even signed Natalies yearbook. Jeff went to University of Maryland Baltimore County for Mechanical Engineering and Natalie went to Auburn University for Industrial and Systems Engineering. War Eagle and Go Retrievers!

In their free time, Jeff enjoys golfing and Natalie likes to tend to her plants inside and outside of the house. When golfing, Jeff has a lot of issues in the putting green (handicap -7). Enjoy reading about all of our favorite people and we look forward to celebrating with you on August 29th.
Elizabeth Coeyman
Matron of Honor
Liz is Natalie’s older sister, however Liz asked for a horse instead of a sister when their mom was pregnant. The pair ended up sharing a love for horses and would often ride together. They spent their childhood on MD’s Eastern Shore to fish, in the basement playing with their toy ponies, riding palominos, or in the yard chasing their dog (or each other if someone stole the other’s clothes). They both love to travel and collect souvenir spoons. Dr. Liz is a Physical Therapist and lives with her husband Sky and dog Jet in York, PA.
Kacie Swanson
Bridesmaid
Natalie and Kacie met at Auburn University when they sat next to each other in one of their classes. The two quickly became friends after they attended a Halloween party together and ran around Sky Bar as a grandma (Natalie) and a Corona beer (Kacie). Kacie’s apartment holds many memories as it was the group’s hang out spot. Attending football games and winning (but mostly losing) trivia at Sky Bar every Friday night were activities they enjoyed together. Kacie is an Industrial Engineer in Huntsville, AL and is married to Mike.
Mackenzie Hawkins
Bridesmaid
Natalie met Mackenzie in college during one of their engineering classes. The pair loved nothing more than sitting on the sofa with Mackenzie’s roommates and screaming at the TV while watching series like the Bachelor or Avatar (Mackenzie is a fire bender and Natalie is a water bender). The two of them will have a dance party wherever the music takes them and don’t mind embarrassing their friends. Mackenzie is a Process Engineer and currently resides in Nashville, TN with her husband Fischer and their dog Hans.
Brooke DiPaula
Bridesmaid
Brooke is Natalie’s oldest sister. Natalie looked forward to weekends spent in the basement playing with Polly Pockets or playing Wii games with her sisters. Brooke always motivated both sisters to try new things and brought out everyone’s goofy side. Many summers were spent on the beach at Ocean City where the girls would trot along the boardwalk shopping and laughing. Brooke is in Wildlife Rehabilitation and lives with her boyfriend Hans and their cats in Harrisburg, PA.
Joanie Young
Bridesmaid
Joanie is Jeff’s little sister and soon to be Natalie’s as well. Like Natalie and Liz, Jeff and Joanie often steal each others things.

Joanie attends Towson University and plans to become a Physicians Assistant and lives in Kingsville, MD.

Jack and Jill will go up on their hill to wed in September.
Ryan Wagener

Jeff met Ryan in high school playing baseball. The two of them love to rough house and will often wrestle randomly, let’s hope they don’t do this walking down the aisle. They love meeting up to watch sports, golf, and drink lots of whiskey. Ryan is scared to use his driver (handicap - 18). Ryan is an HVAC technician and lives with his fiancé Gina and dogs Kanga and Gracie in Essex, MD.
Camden Sklar

Pierce Bennett
Groomsman
Pierce and Jeff met when they were kids playing baseball. The two quickly became friends and so did their families.

Jeff enjoyed watching Pierce play and was able to see him play at the Iron Birds Stadium a couple times to support. Jeff and Pierce love to play badminton together. And by badminton I do of course mean golf. No surprise here with avoiding his driver, Pierce uses the 3-wood off the tee box but he can launch it (handicap - 12).
