Wedding Party
Rachel Hopper
Matron of Honor
Rachel has been the best friend of the bride since her second year of pharmacy school. They were roommates for several years and became close friends during organic chemistry. Rachel is a huge reason why Nevina made it through college, and she is one of the most intelligent and dependable friends Nevina has. Just don’t send her texts because she won’t respond for over 4 months.
Justus Cole
Best Man
Best friend of the groom since 1st grade, Justus and Collin could be found playing little league, hackey sack, or going snowboarding from dawn til. Best of friends throughout elementary and highschool they soon found each other at college. In college during the first semester they did not see as much of one another as they used to Until one day Collin's roommate moved out. Never telling anyone they should have told they instantly moved Justus into the dorm, together once again. After college Justus found himself purchasing a home no longer living together, but not for long. Collin and Nevina ended up renting the house 3 yards from theirs and became neighbors for over a year. Seemingly inseperable, not able to be more than 3 yards away from one another, these two are still very close friends who like to have poker night, go golfing, snowboarding, and even sometimes fishing together.
Sierra Strouse
Bridesmaid
Another best friend of the bride since pharmacy school, Sierra used to hangout with Nevina practically every weekend. One of the fondest memories with Sierra that Nevina can recall was one super snowy weekend, they stayed in and made chicken nuggets and watched Monty Python together, had a fire drill in the middle of the movie, and then Sierra had to walk back to her apartment through the whiteout blizzard. Both fans of fishing and outdoor activities, Sierra and Nevina used to fish after class and bond over videogames while pregaming.
Cory Hoyt
Groomsman
Collin became friends with Hoyt in 7th grade. They bonded over their shared interests of snowmobiling, ATV driving, dirtbikes, fishing, and simplistic nature of being outdoors. However the best time between these two has always and forever will be long road trips, when everyone else is sleeping and the laughs and inside jokes come out. The best memory Collin has of Hoyt is watching him drive a 4hp engine on a tiny boat with 4 big guys on it through a raging thunder storm with pure determination (no drinking was involved). Always a dependable friend, Hoyt and Collin still find time to enjoy the activities they love with one another. There is no one else who Collin believes could get anyone through a literal or figurative storm like the way Hoyt can.
Morgan Masters
Bridesmaid
Younger sister of the groom, when asked to provide any words about Morgan, Collin responded with "sister. good sister. GREAT sister, actually." Morgan is a quiet and reserved goofball, and she and Nevina go on a once yearly crane game trip where they waste a bunch of money on prizes that Boone ends up totally destroying anyways. She is the most talented artist both the groom and bride know, and she is a great sister and awesome friend.
James Stuart
Groomsman
A best friend of the groom, Jimmy used to live down the road from Collin so they found themselves together over the summer and winter for uncountable hours.

Sidney Henne
Bridesmaid
Younger sister of the bride, Sidney has always been at Nevina's side. Growing up they did everything together, whether it be sports, hanging out with friends, or making goofy videos. Sometimes at odds, they have their instances where they don't get along. But now as adults, they enjoy each other's company, and fishing is a highlight of their shared interests.
Derek Dragon
Groomsman
Best friend of Collin's since preschool, Derek has always been a reliable and trustworthy friend to Collin, even though he stole Collin's blanket in preschool. They often find themselves at Derek's pond fishing for bass and catfish, drinking a few beers, grilling some burgers, and throwing a questionable amount of diesel into the fire as Phil cheers them on. However most importantly Derek was the first one to ever show Collin adult content in a magazine, it was a life changing event from a life changing friend.
Katherin Lorson
Bridesmaid
Longtime childhood friend of the bride, Kati has always been there for Nevina. Growing up, it felt like Nevina basically lived as the Palski's house. From elementary school all the way through high school, Nevina and Kati were very close friends. They used to work the race track ice cream stand together, go on beach vacations together, swim for hours in the pool, and struggle through AP chemistry together. At the end of a long day of playing outside, they sometimes used to sneak a jar of banana peppers outside and eat straight from the jar.
Alexander Trunzo
Groomsman

Gabriella Trunzo
Bridesmaid
Youngest sister of the bride, Ella is a spunky kid who is witty and sassy. Not afraid to speak her mind, Ella is a friend as much as she is a sister.

They both have full body shark blankets which they both think are amazing, and they both enjoy a fun game of Fortnite here and there.
Dominic Trunzo
Groomsman
Youngest brother of the bride, Dominic is also our interim DJ. Dominic is full of life and humor, and one of Collin's favorite memories with Dominic is leaving him in the corn maze and having Dominic chase him through the corn.

Arielle Domashinski
Bridesmaid
A best friend of the bride, Arielle and Nevina became close while working at chewy over the last 2 and 1/2 years. Struggling through the same environment together really cemented their bond as friends. They go on walks together at work every day, and talk constantly outside of work as well. They twin with each other all the time, and have the same breed of dogs. They both enjoy going to the wilkes barre scranton penguins hockey games, and they both enjoy lightly harassing coworkers together.
Adam Motovidlak
Groomsman
Growing up just across the road from one another both Adam and Collin found themselves spending the entirety of their summers together. Flipping quads, playing horse, going sleigh riding there were few days they were found apart. As they grew older and Adam and Collin would find themselves going pond hoping around the area and making pizza bagels at 2am in Collin's Mother's kitchen. Many times did the two of them hear "Turn that tv down" or "WTH are you burning?" with forged in fire in the back round.
Phil Hettes
Ring Bearer
Phil and Collin have known each other since kindergarten however became better and better friends over the course of the past 6 years; and it all started with a "Hey Collin should i light this quarter stick and throw it in that hole?". After that they went on many trips together with the rest of the groomsmen fishing, beaching and having a blast. Phil was chosen as a ring bearer because of his ability to light up a room, both literally and figuratively.
Jacob Yaple
Ring Bearer
Yaple and Collin knew each other since Kindergarten, and became close friends while riding BMX bikes behind the school. Collin has a memory of Yaple where he called Yaple's gerbil stupid, and he distinctly remembers Yaple not liking that remark. Another great memory was when Yaple saw Collin griding his bike home from Harvey's Lake as Collin passed the elementary school. It was getting dark, but Yaple really twisted Collin's arm to stop and play basketball with a couple friends. Well staying out way past dark and attempting to ride the bike home, Collin soon found himself facing an angry Mama Masters. A grade A scolding and 2 weeks no bike cemented the memory in Collin's head forever. Yaple was also chosen to be a ring bearer because of his ability to sway others to always make the best decisions.
Joshua Sayre
Officiant
Being a friend of Collin's since 7th grade, Josh and Collin became best friends after their first guys trip. Both Josh and Collin have a love for the outdoors, and their friendship revolves around common interests such as hunting and fishing, as well as hobbies such as DND. Josh was one of the first friends Nevina met, as he was there when Nevina and Collin lost a bet and had to eat a potato that was being used for darts. Josh also would always tell Collin that if Collin messed the relationship between Nevina and him up, Josh would doing unhealthy things to Collin's body parts. It is because of Josh's friendship to both the bride and the groom that he has been chosen to be an officiant of the wedding.
