Wedding Party
Betsy Nicewander
Mother of the Groom
Betsy obviously played a large part in who the Groom is today. Growing up, she pushed Eric to stay motivated in schooling and always had a listening ear when things didn’t always go as planned. Betsy also put a large emphasis on helping people and doing the right thing.
Bob Nicewander
Father of the Groom
Bob is quite the jokester and storyteller. Growing up, Eric spent a lot of time with Bob fishing, bowling on Friday nights, and learning how to change tires and oil on cars as Bob is a mechanic.
Kathy Porter
Mother of the Bride
Kathy lives in Buffalo and recently retired from her job in the Accounting department at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. She enjoys spending time with family, friends, playing pickle ball, and going to country concerts!
Rachel Grampp
Matron of Honor
Rachel is one of Sara's cousins on her mother's side of the family and one of her closest friends. The two spent their childhoods wearing matching outfits & dodging pools full of tadpoles (one better than the other). In 2009, Sara moved up to Buffalo (two streets away from where Rachel lived) which fostered their friendship to grow to new heights. These days you can find them together screaming lyrics in the pit at concerts (probably MGK) or celebrating their achievements at the nearest bar with friends!
Melissa Beier
Bridesmaid
Melissa and Sara met almost 25 years ago playing recreation softball in Berea and later found out that they lived right around the corner from each other. Years of softball, making cookie dough, and inventing dance routines to Sk8r Boi solidified their bond and kept years of living in separate states from lessening their connection. Most recently, Melissa got married to her husband Nick and brought their son, Sonny, into the world to be adored by everyone he meets.
Jamie Boyar
Bridesmaid
Jamie and Sara met through Rachel Grampp in high school but didn't develop much of a relationship until a couple years back when Rachel and Jamie were traveling through Cleveland and stopped to stay the night at Sara's house. The pair have created countless memories and often catch up when Sara is in Buffalo for the weekend by singing along to Tim McGraw in concert or clinking glasses at Resurgence Brewing Co.
Tiffany Nicewander
Bridesmaid
Tiffany is the Groom's sister-in-law and naturally made Sara feel most welcomed into the family when they met. While their friendship has not had as many years to grow, they enjoy spending time together at family events playing homemade games or watching the kids play in the yard while catching up on what life looks like these days.
Todd Nicewander
Best Man
Todd is the Groom's older brother and also shares the same birthday as the Groom. Todd and Eric share many interests including motocross (dirt bikes), golfing, and were both in Boy Scouts together growing up. They have a close friendship group also including their younger brother Sean and friend Chris.
Sean Nicewander
Groomsman
Sean is the Groom's younger brother and part of a close friendship group of the 3 brothers and their friend Chris. Their group enjoys golfing and motocross races (dirt bikes), sometimes playing Xbox games together doing the same. Sean and the Groom also share interests in engines and working on small machinery.
Chris Lenaghan
Groomsman
Chris and Eric grew up a few houses down from each other and spent a lot of time together with Eric's older brother Todd. The three of them share many interests including golfing and motocross races (dirt bikes).
Matt Cameron
Groomsman
Matt is not only one of the Groom's cousins but they also used to work together. The two of them enjoy golfing together and going to comedy shows like Adam Sandler. Eric was Matt’s Best Man when he got married. Growing up, the two went on countless family vacations together from the Bahamas to Disney World, and many many cruises!
