Lynn & Garrett
Wedding Party
Cody ‘Derd’ Tomlinson
Best Man
Ah Cody, AKA Derd AKA Starlord. Best friends since grade school. Spent our time figuring life out and our paths crossed again a bit later in life, only to pick up where we left off a year or two prior. One of the most loyal guys I have ever met. If he doesn't know how to help you or advise you he will sit there and find a way to give you what you need when you need it most. Best Call of Duty partner a fella could ask for, someone's got to carry me to the wins. Not to mention he's good at anything he sets his mind to.... except keeping up drinking with the O'Brien lads, not his forte. Nonetheless, truly an honor to have you next to me. love you brother.
Lauren Hammerman
Maid of Honor
We went from fighting all the time as kids, to growing up & being best friends as adults. As much as we fought & truly didn’t like each other at times, I don’t think I would change anything. I believe that helped make our bond stronger. We call each other immediately when there is a slight inconvenience in our lives, & we blow up our group chat with mom every day (sorry, not sorry mom). Thankful for all that she has done for me & will continue to do until the day we are living together because we are old & just want a bunch of animals, including a pig. Can’t wait for her to come to Erie multiple times this year as we celebrate Garrett & I. Plus, her making more trips to Erie means I get to see my fur nephews more! Thank you saying yes to being my right hand woman through this journey ❤️
Cody O’Brien
Best Man
Cobby, boy did I hate you growing up. You always got away with murder around the house. Not to mention you were the easiest one to blame when things went wrong on my end, so naturally we were enemies. We can both admit we weren't always the closest. Come your college years, I began to look up to you (a bit ass backwards some may find). Your drive and dedication to things that needed done, though you may not want to do it, truly has come as a driving factor in my life. You've grown to be one hell of a well rounded (and also rounder) man. We grew closer, you continued to destroy me at NHL and Mario Kart, and at times even drinking. BUT you know what they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer, so your standing next to me on my wedding day. I love you brother.
Meagan Younkin
Bridesmaid
Meagan and I met through a mutual friend and we instantly became best friends. Meagan worked so hard to get Garrett and I together, and now almost 4 years later we are getting married! From waking up at 5am to go workout together, or hanging out every weekend four wheeling or just watching movies, we have shared so many great times together. We’ve also gone through some of the most difficult times of our lives, and now we are both living our best lives! Meagan is one of my biggest supporters when it comes to anything, and that includes my obsession with pigs and wanting a pig as a house pet. One day we will convince Garrett to let it happen! I couldn’t imagine not having Meg by my side while I get married, especially since she worked so hard to get us together 💓
Nick O’Brien
Groomsman
Nicko FNPWPWSP 😉 Where to begin.... man oh man. We never, ever strayed too far from eachother. Constantly finding some trouble to get into. Playing hide and go seek and tag in "certain" local college campus buildings, countless sleepovers. Hell I put hours into building a village on animal crossing for you to bury every belonging I had as I slept for the first time in 2 days. Tattoos, piercings, hard-core shows, fishing, and trying to show you the "country way" are things I will always hold dear to my heart. We've come a long way man. You are one of the most free spirited, driven and motivated people I know. You're a loving husband, caring dog dad, and still garbage at Call of Duty. It's your turn to stand next to me on my big day. I love you man, thank you everything you've done for me to this day! On to the next chapter fuzzy cuzzy!
Jenna Kaufmann
Bridesmaid
Jenna and I met through Leanna and she became one of my best friends. We also share a mutual love for Halloween so how could we not get along?! Buying more Halloween decorations (that Garrett doesn’t know about), coffee mugs (that Garrett eventually finds), and going to El Amigos to get margs and chips and salsa are some of our favorite things to do together! Aside from us supporting each other’s Halloween obsession, and our coffee mug collections, she also supports my Friends obsession. She will play along and act like I have had something for awhile when I really bought it a few days before. Thank you for standing by my side as I take this next step towards my future 🧡
Clayton Taylor
Groomsman
Clayton, First met you in cubscouts. From then on we were the best of pals. We worked at Pizza Hut together for YEARS. I convinced you to give college a try and live with me. That ended with your closet door making a premium beer pong table. You, Chris and I have some wild memories. Haircut night at the Perry household, Custaloga Town, the boys birthday parties. You've been there every step of the way with me. Always down for a good laugh. Or laughing at a joke from 6 months ago. Or how about that time we ended up in Warren Ohio trying to visit Chris because we were too busy watching The Lorax.... and I was driving. I'll make sure there are some "girly drinks" hidden for ya behind the bar. Happy to have you next to me on my big day! Love ya man.
Leanna Vidal
Bridesmaid
We started off as neighbors, then she became my babysitter. We use to play marbles on the living room floor, secretly watch Maury or The Bold and the Beautiful, and also go across the street to her house to get ice cream. Best babysitter ever! Babysitter quickly turned into her being my other sister. She helped me get my first job at JCPenney, where she also worked. We worked multiple Black Fridays together, and I am so glad we no longer work in retail! She chose me to be her Maid of Honor when she got married. She also chose me to be the God Mother of her children. It’s crazy to think back on my life to see how many things Leanna and I have shared and what we will continue to share. Truly blessed she said yes to stand by my side during this next journey 💗
Chris Perry
Groomsman
Chris AKA CP AKA whatever Twitter handle you're using at that given time. Man you're a real one. I value you and Danielle's friendship more than y'all will ever know. From talking about the philosophy of life, to music and beats, were always on the same page. Traveling brewery to brewery sharing good laughs and spending way to much money on beer and merchandise. Watching you disappear on a sheet of ice infront of the old red chevy while helping Clayton move, toting around Cleveland looking for trouble at your bachelor party (don't get chicken at Shake Shack.) Can't forget the time you came down to your basement at 3am double fisting pork chops! Throwing your melt leftovers at the wall of the dorms at Notre Dame. I love you man, thank you for the genuine friendship, and having flowerboy on vinyl.
Danielle Perry
Bridesmaid
Danielle and I met through Garrett and I couldn’t be more thankful to have her in my life. We both adore raccoons, because who couldn’t love those adorable chubby creatures?! We also share a love for Tom Nook, even though I don’t play animal crossing and I never plan to. Danielle also supports my pig obsession despite what Garrett says! We don’t see each other very often, but nothing makes me more excited than when we go to Cleveland to visit Danielle and Chris or when they come to Erie. There is never a dull moment, especially when we are all together. Thank you for being down for anything, keeping any new Halloween decorations a secret, and loving and supporting my Halloween and pig obsessed self. Can’t wait to have you standing by my side when I marry Garrett 💕
Kyle Kunz
Groomsman
Kyle, Captian Naptian (Cappy nappy) The most unexpected of friends I've made in my adult life. First time we hung out was at a gun raffle. He was too cool to talk to me and I was really jealous of his Remington hat. Through a long line of friends of Lynn and Scotty's, we started sharing beers, whiskey and stories together. Come to find out I had made a friend for life. Fun facts about Kyle are, he's not great at cornhole and he's even worse at boomcup/chandelier. This man is a stand-up guy nonetheless. In life there are ups and downs and I know he would be there in a moments notice for Lynn or I. I appreciate the advice you've given and support you've provided to me in all aspects of life man. I look forward to having you next to me and someone equally excited to break out a new cowboy hat. Love ya man! Let's go Pens!
Tracy Bryan
Bridesmaid
I also met Tracy through Garrett and I couldn’t be more thankful. We both love Halloween so of course we would get along! We can watch Scream numerous times and will send a snap of the same scene every time, Matt Lillard say “my mom and dad are going to be so mad at me.” Tracy also got to watch me fan girl when we met Skeet Ulrich at Comicon. Best day ever, sorry Garrett! When I buy a new Halloween decoration or a new coffee mug, Tracy is one of the few to see and be told that it is a secret because Garrett doesn’t know. I am so thankful to have gained another friend through Garrett who will be standing by my side as we get married 🧡
Scotty Longenecker
Officiant
Scotty, I met you through Lynn and obviously she's known you much longer. From hanging out at Erie Ale Works to running me beers while I mow my lawn because you showed up earlier than everyone else, you've always been a true friend to us. You're a rather competitive stump player and consistently get confused trying to play boom cup. We are excited to have a friend be the one to marry us! Love ya man!
