Wedding Party

Kristen Vander Woude

Maid of Honor

In second grade Kaitlyn had to write a paper on her role model & she picked her older sister Kristen. Kaitlyn still looks up to Kristen to this day and is so blessed to have her as her best friend since birth. Kaitlyn is honored to have Kristen standing by her side on her wedding day.

Nate Born

Best Man

Nate and Ryan met each other through their parents, Lauren and Shawn Born. They got to know each other well over 25 years and consider themselves brothers. Nate's always been a great older brother and trusted adviser. They both share an interest in economics and finance which came in handy when Ryan needed help in ECON in college. It's a blessing to have a brother like Nate and to have him as best man.

Sydney Eckert

Bridesmaid

Kaitlyn met Sydney her junior year of Penn State through Sports Business Club. Kaitlyn has never met a bigger F.R.I.E.N.D.S fan than herself, until she met Sydney, she is truly the Rachel to her Monica. They lived right around the corner from eachother in college and spent every Sunday grocery shopping together. Sydney now lives in D.C. and Kaitlyn misses just being walking distance from eachother and their favorite bar, Cafe 210 West, but loves to plan trips to see Syd or meet up in a warmer place.

Andrew Born

Groomsman

Andrew is Ryan's younger brother. Ryan liked to tease Andrew growing up which helped shape Andrew into the fine young man he is today (probably). Andrew's advanced knowledge and skills in carpentry and construction do not come from his older brother though. He has done some amazing work and only continues to blow us away. It's more than an honor to have Andrew be apart of this special day.

Rachel Walter

Bridesmaid

Rachel & Kaitlyn met through their internship at Dick's Sporting Goods. Their friendship solidified during the last week of the internship, when Rachel rear ended Kaitlyn on the way to work. Last New Years, Kaitlyn & Rachel orchastrated a brillant plan to get their boyfriends to be friends, luckily Ryan & Marshall were instant beer buddies. Rachel is Kaitlyn's lunch date every day at work, and as Marshall popped the question two weeks after Ryan, they now set aside 'Wedding Wednesdays' for wedding planning.

Travis Denham

Groomsman

Travis and Ryan met summer before freshman year at Penn State through DiscipleMakers. They became roommates in the fall and all throughout college going to PSU Football games together and doing the craziest stuff. They are probably the two funniest people on Earth and best friends for life. Travis currently resides in San Diego but that does not stop him and Ryan from constantly sending hilarious Memes and GIFS to brighten each others' days!

Angela Manton

Bridesmaid

Kaitlyn & Ang grew up 10 miles away from eachother, went to rival high schools, and even competed against each other in field hockey - but didn't meet until their DSG internship in Pittsburgh. After both accepting full time positions, they were roommates their first year together in Pittsburgh. Even as a house divided between Pitt & PSU, Ang and Kait bonded over their love of romantic comedies, binging reality TV shows, popcorn, and Gilmore Girls.

Dave Mewkalo

Groomsman

Dave and Ryan met through THON OPPerations freshman year. Spring of 2014, Dave, Ryan and a few other friends formed a lunch group known as the infamous "HUB Lunch"; a group known for getting lunch once a week in the HUB at Penn State. They all remain close friends and keep in touch from different cities. Dave is one of the most admired men at Penn State (ask anyone and they'll go "I LOVE DAVE"). It's an honor and a privilege to have Dave in this special day!
