Wedding Party
Grace
Maid of Honor
Grace has been my friend for 2 decades now. She was my first friend I met and Ryan's, too. Although, I never crossed paths with Ryan until middle school. Grace and I met in preschool and ever since then I don't know a chapter in my life that does not involve her. She is the best at being my friend- honest, fun, weird, thoughtful and someone I never want to let go of. I can't wait for everyone who has not met her yet, to meet her and hear her anticipated speech.
Victoria Butler
Bridesmaid
Victoria in more or less words is my little sister. In all seriousness, she is my one and only girl cousin. It took ten years to break the Butler family boy streak, but better later than never. My favorite way to spend time is with her.
Cooper Burkentine
Bridesmaid
Cooper is my future business partner. We'll someday own an event planning business that covers the Philadelphia and Balitimore markets. RPTM and PK brought us together and there ain't nothing ever separating us.
Taylor Brands
Bridesmaid
Taylor is Ryan's sister. Since my years in middle school I've watched Taylor grow into a strong, funny, and beautiful woman. Anytime spent with her is time well spent especially because we're usually laughing at whatever we got ourselves into.
Danielle Farrell
Bridesmaid
Danielle is my long lost friend. She wasn't far away...she was only in Pen Argyl, but it took Camelback to bring us together. You know that phrase..."I wish I met you sooner so I could have loved you longer." That's how I feel about my friendship with Danielle. Corny, but it is true.
Elizabeth Fedorak
Bridesmaid
Elizabeth and I met during THON (a pediatric cancer fundraiser) at Penn State. It was our first THON meeting and we were playing ice breaker games in a group. People who had similar traits, skills, or items would step in the circle when the trait, skill, or item was announced. I was standing next to Liz when she leaned in and said, "I have a dog, but I'm not moving." We laughed and we've been best friends ever since. I may not get to see her as often as I would like, but I do love whenever we can chat on the phone about our unfortunate luck in adulting.
Olivia Fleischer
Bridesmaid
Olivia is actually Olivia Hagan and I am just now realizing the typo, but she'll always be Olivia Fleischer to me so I'm not changing the typo. I love Olivia because whatever I'm usually thinking, she says it. No matter what we do, we turn it into a memory that lasts forever and I usually have the pictures to prove it.
Alex Lontz
Bridesmaid
Alex was a missing piece. I thought I met all the friends I needed to meet. But then there was Alex. Grace's first friend at Penn State and soon to be one of mine, too. A quick bio of our friendship...sass, wine, McChickens and country music. Penn State would not have been the same without her.
Jenn Stone
Bridesmaid
Jenny has the biggest heart and most thoughtful mind. I don't know what college would have been without having Jenn as my neighbor/roommate for 3 years. Hands down, she spices up my life whenever I'm with her. I not only can't wait for all the wedding festivities, but I can't wait for all of hers as well. Fun Fact: She gets married a week after me.
Taylor Watts
Bridesmaid
Taylor is everything classic. We share the love of I love Lucy, Fleewod Mac and genuine laughs. The thing I apperciate most about our friendship is that no matter how much time has gone by...we can always pick up where we left off....especially if we have a bottle of red wine and dark chocolate.
Hannah Zavacky
Bridesmaid
It's no secret, people get put into your life for different reasons. When I first met Hannah I figured it was because we shared a love for interior design, coffee, and Christmas. But there was a bigger reason her and I met at Penn State. Throughout the next 25 years of our lives we have something in common that not most friends share and for that, I am forever grateful that Hannah and I met.
