Wedding Party

Sandy Kopietz

Maid of Honor

Sandy has been Sarah's best friend since they met in October 2013 when Sarah made her Cursillo! Often called her "Fairy Godmother," Sandy has always been there for Sarah. They've road tripped more miles than they can remember, sharing laughter and playing the license plate game incessantly! The Kopietz family has adopted Sarah as one of their own and Sandy is always welcome to Sarah's family's Christmas parties, too. It's a bond of friendship that transcends age and distance. Sarah could not be happier to have Sandy stand by her side!

Dr. Steve Ingram, Sr.

Best Man

Father of the Groom but also his best friend and namesake, Steven is honored to have his dad be his Best Man. The two share an incredible bond over music and chess. Steven could not be happier to have his "Dadmeister" stand by his side as he marries Sarah!

Fr. Patrick Allen

Officiant

Father Patrick Allen is the parochial administrator of Corpus Christi, a parochial community of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter, hosted at Saint Mary of the Annunciation. Father Allen was born and raised in Lakeland, Florida, and is a graduate of Hampden-Sydney College, Covenant Theological Seminary, and the University of the South (Sewanee). A convert to the Catholic faith, he was a priest of the Episcopal Church for twelve years and served parishes in South Carolina and Tennessee. Along with the founding members of Corpus Christi, he was received into full communion with the Catholic Church in June of 2013, and ordained a Catholic priest the following July. Father Allen is married to Ashley Duckett, MD; they have two children, Lucy and Henry. When not attending to his priestly duties or wrangling children, Father Allen is an avid if mostly hapless fisherman.

Fr. Jeffrey Moore

Officiant

(Father) Jeff and Sarah met at Olin College of Engineering on one of the Candidate Weekend's there. It was Sarah's 18th birthday and she happened to stand next to Jeff in line as they were about to enter the auditorium for the first talk of the weekend. They both sat in the front row where Sarah lamented that she always sits in the front because of her last name starting with an "A"... to which she got the nickname "Fyrstee" (pronounced "first-ee") and they have been the best of friends ever since. Jeff, who is a convert to Catholicism himself, would later become Sarah's sponsor into the Catholic Church when she was baptized, confirmed, and received Holy Communion at the Easter Vigil in the MIT Chapel on April 3, 2010. Father Jeff is now a priest for the Archdiocese of Seattle at Assumption Parish in Bellingham, WA.
