Wedding Party
Hannah Pawlowski
Maid of Honor
Hannah and Amber have been friends since playing tennis together in high school. Fast forward 17 years, and they are literally inseparable now! They love doing anything together - from traveling, to running errands together, to throwing themselves in a mosh pit, to singing in the car. Hannah and Amber are a package deal, which Ryan was made aware of before proposing! They are true besties for the resties. Hannah's Favorite Memory with Amber: "It is literally impossible for me to pick just one favorite memory with Amber because it seems like every memory I have with her is my favorite. Every inside joke we have is hysterical. We are the funniest people I know. (And not conceited at all.) But if I had to choose one that I truly love, it would be all the times we ate late night McDoubles in her bed in high school."
Emily Rhodes
Matron of Honor
Emily is Amber's older sister, so they have known each other since Amber was born. They are about 2.5 years apart in age, so there were a lot of times where their lives and interests were in different places, but they have always been close. Amber likes to spend her time most with Emily trying to make her laugh. Emily's Favorite Memory with Amber: "One of my favorite memories with my sister was going to see A Day to Remember (even though I had pneumonia and embarrassed her by carrying around my albuterol inhaler and then going on to break my ribs), and she let me sit on her shoulders like many couples were doing during the song "Have Faith in Me", which I had always associated with her. I said I'd never let you go, and I never did. I said I'd never let you fall and I always meant it. I love you."
Gina Martyak
Bridesmaid
Gina and Amber met in graduate school at Geneva College and pretty much became instant best friends! They have bonded over a lot of things in their lives, but truly the insanity of grad school held them together! Gina and Amber have a lot of inside jokes and are always laughing together. They love to spend time together any way possible, but they really enjoy kayaking. Gina's Favorite Memory with Amber: "Honestly it's probably kayaking and then finding the Dutch House would feed us until we threw up for like $20. But there were so many to choose from!"
Laura England
Bridesmaid
Laura is Ryan's little sister. Laura and Amber met during a Christmas gathering a couple of years ago when Ryan was starting to introduce Amber to the family. Since then, they have gone on a family vacation and Amber and Ryan have visited Laura in Maine a couple of times. Amber and Laura get along great and will be friends and sisters-in-law for many many years to come! Laura's Favorite Memory with Amber: "My favorite memory with Amber is spinning down water slides at the Jersey Shore that were far more thrilling and terrifying than I remember. I'm grateful to have a soon-to-be sister-in-law who is so easy to talk to and shares a love for fun-seeking, activities, ridiculousness, and most importantly...an agenda!"
Addie Alderson
Bridesmaid
Amber and Addie met through work. When Addie first interviewed, Amber noticed her cute Doc Marten sandals and new they would be great friends! They bonded immediately and have the best times together through work. Amber and Addie both learn a lot from each other every day (Amber gets to learn all of the cool Gen Z trends from her!) And the laughs never stop when they are together! Addie's Favorite Memory of Amber: "I feel so incredibly lucky to not only get to work with you at TWO DIFFERENT JOBS, but to get to learn from you every single day. My favorite memory of us is, I'm not lying, every memory. If I had to pick one memory though, I would have to say when we went shopping for Christmas decorations for the office together and got the most random stuff and opened everything right in the lobby and made a huge mess, THEN ordered more decorations on Amazon. Every day is such a blast and I am overflowing with gratitude".
Justin Sciulli
Best Man
Justin and Ryan have been friends since Boy Scouts way back when. Ryan was actually better friends with Justin's brother then, but Justin and Ryan became good friends when they both did volunteer fire fighting at Economy Fire Department. Justin and Ryan have a lot of shared interests and never run out of things to talk about. Justin's Favorite Memory with Ryan: Jumping the train tracks in Monaca.
Matt Morrow
Groomsman
Matt and Ryan also became friends through the fire department. Matt was Ryan's lieutenant. They quickly grew close and Ryan spent countless hours on the weekend, and even weeknights, at Matt's house. Matt was the first person to ever get Ryan into a bar. Whether they were doing chili cookoffs, working on the food truck, or fishing, they always have a great time. Matt's Favorite Memory with Ryan: Fred's Divet
Clarke Phillips
Groomsman
Clarke and Ryan have been friends for over 14 years. They met through mutual friends. At one point, Ryan was even employed by Clarke. Over the years, they grew to become close friends. They don't get to see each other often, but always enjoy going out to dinner together when they get the chance. Clarke's Favorite Memory with Ryan:
Brad Kidd
Groomsman
Brad and Ryan also met through mutual friends, and have also been friends for over 14 years. AND Ryan has also been employed by Brad. They share interest in shooting, fishing, pretty much anything and everything outdoors. Ryan enjoys hanging out with Brad on the farm and doing outdoorsy things while there. Brad's Favorite Memory with Ryan: Fly fishing trips together.
