Olivia & Alex
Wedding Party
Abby Harder
Maid of Honor
I met Abby on the Hurricane Soccer Team in middle school when my dad was our coach. Abby is always enthusiastic and by my side for any new adventure. Abby and I have so many memories together: Game of Thrones Pop-up Bar, Pittsburgh Penguins, foodie trips to NYC (Raclette Restaurant was a fave with the melted alpine cheese wheel) and a trip to NOLA (Mardi Gras Parade). Abby and I are always thinking the same thing without communicating it. We even met our future spouses around the same time.
Ben Balzer
Best Man
First impressions don't mean everything. My first experience with Ben was during high school basketball. It was the playoffs and we faced off against a team from Pittsburgh. One student in their section (Ben) stood out for size and volume. Needless to say, he did not make friendly with our team. Low and behold my first day of college football camp, there stands Ben. After getting to know him, my mind was quickly changed. Since then we have made an irreplaceable friendship from playing next to each other on O-line to being roommates after college.
Amanda Murtin
Bridesmaid
Amanda was my college roommate at Saint Joseph's University (SJU) in Philadelphia! The Hawk will never die! We had great times at the Italian Festival on South Street and going out in Manayunk! We were both from Bloomsburg and knew one another since way back to St. Columba Basketball Church League.
Grant Baxter
Groomsman
Grant and I had been acquaintances for many years, both being from the same hometown. Our friendship really began when I moved to Pittsburgh. We quickly found similar interests and made great memories while golfing, exploring restaurants/breweries and sporting events.
Hope Kile
Bridesmaid
Hope and I became friends in 6th grade. In High School we were always Bus Buddies for our sporting events. Field hockey games were extra special beside each other on the front line. We spent many hours water skiing, tubing, and jet skiing in Canada at their vacation home. We played many board games, but Mahjong was always the favorite.
Domenic D'Ambrosio
Groomsman
I met Olivia's older brother Domenic while living in Pittsburgh. Domenic is quite the host and we always enjoyed his parties and gatherings: Friendsgivings, Cocktail Parties, but the best was his custom-made Power Hours. Yay, a brother!
Virginia LaMacchia
Bridesmaid
I met Virginia (Ginny) at Abby's pool party. It was nice to have her in the development behind mine so we could cut across to each other's houses. I remember our themed hangouts (TGLO-The Group Lives On) in her basement during high school. Ginny lives in Dublin, Ireland and we enjoyed visiting her there.
Jake Chenez
Groomsman
Jake and I met during Medical School, thanks to assigned seating (never thought I would be grateful for that). I am thankful for his persistence for convincing me to go on a 6 country European back packing trip with his brother. Something neither of us will ever forget!
Alyssa Davis
Bridesmaid
I met Alex's sister, Alyssa and she was very outgoing and very welcoming. I remember her making me a fresh Strawberry Daiquiri. Can't wait to have you as a sister. It is always a great time when she comes to visit.
Anthony Unger
Groomsman
Unger seems to follow me as we have had similar paths including football at Gannon and we both attended LECOM for medical school. Our friendship became special while pushing and competing in the weight room. Some of our great memories include Anthony, Jake, and I finding different ways to procrastinate studying.
Amelia Davis
Bridesmaid
I also met Amelia during my first visit to Erie. So happy she attends Eckerd College in St. Petersburg and we can meet up for dinner. Nice that Amelia can be our Florida beach buddy. Can't wait to be your sister!
Peter D'Ambrosio
Groomsman
I met Peter while visiting Olivia's family in Bloomsburg. After college graduation, Peter moved to Florida and we were his first stop (we were happy to be roommates for a few months) on the new adventure. Peter and I enjoy fishing together and talking Fantasy Football.
Anna Davis
Bridesmaid
I met Anna during the first visit to Erie. She is very considerate and welcoming and the youngest of Alex's sisters. We bonded over similar hobbies of crafting and plants. Can't wait to be your sister!
Myles Young
Groomsman
Myles and I became friends shortly after starting residency in Florida. Our relationship grew quickly and we take advantage of the little free time we have. We enjoy golfing, fishing, playing video games, and exploring the area!
