Kimberli & Shane
Wedding Party
Danielle
Maid of Honor
I first met Danielle on October 24th, 1989, and we have been sisters ever since. Fun fact - when Danielle was just four years old, she picked out my name! We may not always agree completely but at the end of the day Danielle is my number one role model. I remember being super young and wanting to dress like Danielle, to have a group of friends like Danielle, and to dance and be popular like Danielle. I wanted her straight hair, too! Danielle has always been someone I look up to. We are sisters by fate but are best friends by choice. We have many shared experiences and have been through all our lives ups and downs together. She has stood by my side during my lowest moments. Our bond has grown into something stronger than sisterhood. I could not be more grateful to have my one and only sister stand by my side as a Maid of Honor on my wedding day.
Carly
Maid of Honor
I met Carly in Mr. Stein's fourth grade class. We are childhood besties and have shared many similar life experiences, which have helped our relationship grow strong and deep. We started out role playing as mother and daughter as 9-year-olds, went to sleep away camp together as pre-teens, ended up going to the same college and eventually became roommates. Besides my family, she has been the one constant in my life, and I know that I can rely on her for absolutely anything. Carly knows me better than I know myself and has been by my side for over 20 years. It's only natural that I have her with me as a Maid of Honor on my big day!
Stephanie
Bridesmaid
I met Stephanie through mutual friends while attending WVU. We spent time getting to know each other in college but then life drifted us apart. In 2014, years after we both graduated, we reconnected and realized how close we lived to each other. She invited me to join her and some of her friends at a Backstreet Boys concert and our fate was sealed. I consider Steph family and call her two sons my nephews. I cannot wait to have her be a part of our wedding party and support me as a bridesmaid.
Lisa
Bridesmaid
It truly is a small world. Carly, one of my MOH's went to class wearing my Spilsh Splash Long Island t-shirt. Lisa's sister recognized the logo and discovered they were all from the same area of Long Island and quickly became an inseparable group of friends. For over 10 years, Lisa has been a rock for me, and I can always trust her to give me inspiring pep talks and put a giant smile on my face. Lisa has taught me to always make life a party and to never give up on my dreams. I am proud to have her as a bridesmaid.
Jordan
Bridesmaid
Engaged to my baby brother, Jordan has made her way into the family and into my heart. She and I have formed a close connection over our love and passion for early childhood education. I am excited to experience the journey of wedding planning with her and can't imagine saying "I do" without her by my side.
Brandon
Best Man
Growing up with an older brother helped me to grow up strong. I was always trying to be like him or to do better than him. Our brotherly competition gave me thick skin and I learned to have fun with life! At times, we fought like crazy and didn't get along, but when times were tough, I was always able to lean on him for help and look toward him for guidance. Growing up with an older brother also means getting made fun of! For a good year, my big brother and his friends referred to me as Sloppy Joe because I was caught drooling and had long unruly hair. Now, he will stand by my side as my Best Man as I marry the love of my life. I wouldn't want it any other way.
Mark
Groomsman
Mark has been like a brother to me for as long as I can remember. Growing up, we partied together and had a blast along the way. He has always been there for me when times were tough, and he was an escape from tough times. I will never forget the time we snuck out together, taking his parents suburban, to go to a party. We ended up having to push the car up a hill! I have met a lot of people in my life and Mark has been a friend since the beginning. He is a great friend, and I am proud to have him as one of my groomsmen.
Eric
Groomsman
As such an important person in Kimberli's life, I had to ask Eric to stand with me on our wedding day. I am honored to gain him as a brother and to call him family. Eric is always there for his sisters, and I have seen how kind and hard-working he is. Most importantly, Eric has put up with Kimberli for over 30 years, so I am sure I will be turning to him for some advice down the road. Thanks in advance bro!
Pelle
Groomsman
Pelle was one of the first to welcome me into the family! Husband to Kimberli's sister, we have gotten to spend a lot of time together. Danielle and Pelle were living in Pittsburgh when Kimberli and I first started dating. I look forward to gaining yet another brother! I know that Pelle is someone I can look up to and turn to for advice. I am happy to have him support me on one of the biggest days of my life.
