Wedding Party
Anthony Guadagnino
Best Man
Anthony has consistently been a source of wisdom since we met during a Cru Summer Mission in 2019. He has guided me through significant relational, personal, and spiritual challenges. Some of my favorite memories with Anthony include backpacking in the Rockies and spending a weekend in Nashville. Anthony and his wife, Anna, live and work in Chicago, Illinois as a part of the Cru Chicago Metro Team.
Amanda Lex
Maid of Honor
Amanda and I met our junior year of college. Among all the places to meet on Purdue's campus, our friendship began in a bathroom. I feel incredibly lucky to have someone like her in my life. She is intelligent, kind, funny, adventurous, and a source of Godly wisdom for me. My favorite memory of Amanda is witnessing her cry over Wordle at a Purdue basketball game. Amanda works in Indianapolis as a pharmacist.
Wesley Richardson
Groomsman
I’m not the only person who can attest to Wes’s influence on others. His infectious and intentional personality first drew me to him as a college freshman in Cru. My favorite memories with Wes include working as camp counselors at Gull Lake Ministries and vacationing at Disney World. Wes lives in Washington, Indiana, works as a 4-H Youth Development Educator with Daviess County, and is high school track coach.
Maria Mouchaham
Bridesmaid
Maria and I met in middle school when she moved to Fort Wayne, but we became close in high school. She has an infectious personality and has the ability to make me feel like a little kid again. She is also incredibly smart and is currently studying to be a dentist at the University of Michigan. I have many wonderful memories with Maria, but one of my favorites is annoying Alaina together with our singing while in line at Disney World.
Landon Silveri
Groomsman
Landon and I met during a Cru Summer Mission in 2019. His logical mind provides an intriguing and welcome contrast to my emotion-oriented perspective. Some of my favorite memories with Landon include backpacking in the Rockies and enjoying a beach weekend in the Outer Banks. Landon and his wife Madeline live in Raleigh, North Carolina, where Landon works in marketing for a private flight school, and Madeline teaches Spanish.
Megan Harmelink
Bridesmaid
Megan and I met our sophomore year of college and realized we had much in common as we were in the same major and the same campus ministry. One of my favorite things about Megan is how she is always up for an adventure. She is a huge part of why my time at Purdue will always be one of the best seasons of my life. There were many nights of little sleep because we couldn't stop talking about our days, even though we had spent the entire day together. Megan lives in Goshen, Indiana and is a veterinary nurse.
Adam Engleking
Groomsman
Although Adam and I didn’t become close friends until junior high, we’ve known each other since preschool. We grew up in the same school system and attended the same church from junior high onward. In college, I always looked forward to seeing Adam, whether he was visiting me or I was visiting him at Butler University where he enrolled. My favorite memories with Adam include church mission trips to Haiti and the 2024 Indianapolis 500. Adam lives in Brooklyn, New York and is a restructuring analyst for a corporate advisory firm.
Alaina Gosheff
Bridesmaid
Alaina and I have known each other the longest out of anyone in the wedding party, but we did not become close until middle school/high school. We bonded over band and our love for marvel and Star Wars. She is one of the most intelligent people I know and is also a great listener. Alaina works outside of Boston at a regenerative farm as an agronomist.
Conner McGuire
Groomsman
Conner cultivates a persona that makes it easy for me to talk about serious topics, something I needed as a college freshman when I met him through Cru. He generously offered me a room to live in at his off-campus house my senior year, as well as for the seven months leading up to the wedding. Some of my favorite memories with Conner include attending a Piano Guys concert and having weekly hangouts to watch our latest favorite TV show. Conner lives in Lafayette, Indiana, and works in marketing for the John Purdue Club.
Angela Ibe
Bridesmaid
Angela and I met in middle school and became close in high school through doing marching band together. She has a big heart and is the most compassionate person I know. She is also a great friend and is always willing to try something new. My favorite memories of Angela include playing Mario Kart together and sitting next to each other on the band bus. She lives in Fort Wayne and works at an animal shelter.
Ethan Radke
Usher
Ethan has the distinction of being the only groomsmen or usher who has known Michelle since elementary school. I met him as a freshman through Cru at Purdue, but we didn’t become closer until after graduation. He is one of our several college friends living in the Fort Wayne area, and has been someone we've consistently socialized with post-graduation. Some of my favorite memories with Ethan include backpacking on a Michigan hiking trail and attending the 2023 Summerfest music festival. Ethan lives in Leesburg, Indiana, and works as an engineer designing medical instruments for Paragon Medical.
Cooper Kelly
Usher
I met Cooper when he was part of my carpool to a Cru social event in college. After that, we developed a friendship centered around our mutual love for certain TV shows. Cooper’s easy-going nature and fondness for puns make him a joy to be around. Some of my favorite memories with Cooper include binge-watching the TV show Community and attending a film music concert. Cooper lives in Bloomington, Indiana, and is a manufacturing assembler for Cook Medical.
