Wedding Party
Samantha Schofer
Maid of Honor
I met Samantha Schofer in middle school, and we became fast friends — the kind of friends who just *know* from the start that this is something special. From sharing a locker in middle school to sharing our Sweet 16, we’ve grown up side by side through so many chapters of life. Samantha is incredibly creative and one of the most supportive friends anyone could ask for. She has always been my steady encouragement, my sounding board, and the person who shows up no matter what. Some of my favorite memories in life have her in them, and I truly can’t imagine this day without her standing next to me. Having her as my Maid of Honor means more than I can put into words.
Will Anderman
Best Man
Will has been in Noah’s life since middle school, though exactly how or when they first met is a bit of a mystery. What’s certain is that their friendship truly grew at the end of high school and has only gotten stronger over the years. Will is Noah’s closest friend. Their bond is built on years of shared experiences, trust, and friendship that has stood the test of time. We are so grateful to have him standing by Noah’s side on this special day — it wouldn’t be the same without him.
Danielle Shorkey
Bridesmaid
I met Danielle Shorkey while working at Bath & Body Works — and funny enough, she came in as my boss… and I didn’t actually like her at first. But somewhere between shifts and shared responsibilities, we grew into something so much more than coworkers — we became close friends. Danielle is someone I can always talk to, whether it’s about life, stress, big decisions, or just everyday chaos. We’ve supported each other through so many ups and downs, always offering advice, honesty, and encouragement when it’s needed most. I’m so grateful that what started as a workplace connection turned into such a meaningful friendship. Having her stand beside me on this day means so much.
Jesse O'Rourke
Groomsman
Jesse and Noah met at Macomb Community College during a class icebreaker while they were both in the early college program. What started as a simple introduction quickly turned into a strong friendship. One of their favorite memories together comes from the Dungeons & Dragons group Noah started with Jesse, where they spent over a year working their way through a campaign. It’s a friendship built on shared interests, good times, and plenty of unforgettable moments. We’re so happy to have Jesse standing by Noah’s side on this special day.
Ashley Thomas
Bridesmaid
Ashley and I met while working at the law firm — she started just two weeks before I did, so we were learning everything together from day one. There’s something about going through that “new job” phase side by side that instantly connects you, and our friendship grew quickly from there. Ashley was actually the very first person to know about Noah when we first started talking, which makes having her stand beside me on this day even more meaningful. She has been there since the very beginning of our story, offering support, excitement, and encouragement every step of the way. I’m so grateful to have her by my side as we celebrate this next chapter.
Nick Parrott
Groomsman
Nick is Noah’s cousin, and they’ve been close since birth — just two months apart. Growing up side by side, they’ve shared a lifetime of memories and have always had a strong bond. Their relationship goes beyond family, built on friendship, trust, and years of growing up together. We’re so happy to have him standing by Noah’s side on this special day.
Haley Wehner
Bridesmaid & Officiant
Haley and I met while working in the same office — just at different law firms — and we became quick friends from the start. What began as workplace conversations quickly turned into a friendship I truly value. When Haley offered to be our officiant, it was a complete no-brainer. Having someone who knows me so well and has been such a steady, supportive presence in my life lead us into this next chapter means more than I can say. I feel so lucky that she’ll not only be standing beside me as a bridesmaid, but also guiding us as we say “I do.” It wouldn’t feel right any other way.
Nathan Sabra
Groomsman
Daniel Schaeffer
Bridesman
Dan and I met while working summer maintenance, and nothing bonds two people faster than digging around in a large dumpster after it rained as an icebreaker. From that unforgettable first day on, we’ve talked every single day since. What started as a messy workday turned into one of the most constant and meaningful friendships in my life. Dan has been there for so many major life events and has helped me through some of my most trying times with steady support, honesty, and encouragement. I truly couldn’t imagine this day without him by my side. Having him stand with me means more than words can say.
Bub/Dennis Parrott
Groomsman
Dennis, or as his family knows him, Bub, is Noah’s uncle — though being only a couple years older, he’s always felt more like a cousin. Their close ages have made for a fun and easygoing bond that’s lasted over the years. Their relationship is built on family, friendship, and growing up side by side, creating a connection that’s both meaningful and unique. We’re so happy to have Bub standing by Noah’s side on this special day.
