Wedding Party

Lily Bergman

Maid of Honor

Hi, I'm Lily! Rachael's sister and Maid of Honor. Rachael had the honor of me entering her life 28 years ago so I'm returning the honor of celebrating her this coming September. I cannot wait to get together with everyone and celebrate our bride and groom!

Scott Anderson

Best Man

Hi everyone! My name is Scott Anderson and I am Shaun's younger brother and Best Man. Shaun and I grew up together just outside of East Aurora. Our favorite activities were exploring the woods together, snowboarding, and playing video games. Shaun has always been a supportive and encouraging older brother, celebrating with me during my successes and walking with me during my challenges. I am so excited to return the favor for him and Rachael as they unite as one!

Tara Ruchser

Bridesmaid

Hi everyone, I'm Tara! I'm beyond excited to stand by Rachael's side on her wedding day! We met through mutual social circles years ago. Ever since, we've bonded over our love for nature, animals, and a well thought out themed celebration. Our friendship has blossomed through shared adventures, many true crime documentaries, and endless laughter. I cannot wait to share in her joy and celebrate this beautiful day together!

Gregory Dechert

Groomsman

Hey there! I'm Greg, one of Shaun's groomsmen. Shaun and I became friends in middle school after learning one of our mutual interests is the outdoors. Over the years, Shaun has become a best friend, and to this day, one of my favorite people. When I think about memories with Shaun, it would be impossible to pick a favorite, but each one includes a trustworthy, fun, honest man (that also brings endless smiles and laughs). When Shaun broke the news about meeting Rachael, she sounded too good to be true. After getting to know her and learning how great she is with Colin, I realized Shaun got really lucky!! I couldn't be happier that Rachael and Shaun found one another and I can't wait to watch them enjoy a well deserved life of happiness.

Becca Justinger

Bridesmaid

Hi, I'm Becca! I met Rachael a few years ago when we both played on a coed soccer team. We bonded quickly with some sass and aggression on the field, and our friendship quickly transferred to off the field hangouts as well. Some of our favorite things to do are drinking wine while baking some form of goodie needed for class the next day (I'm a high school math teacher), grading papers together (again with wine lol), or country line dancing our way through the night on the dance floor! I am so happy for Rachael and Shaun and cannot wait for the big day!!

Scott More

Groomsman

Hi, I'm Scott! Shaun and I became friends in high school and our friendship carried over to when we attended Alfred State together. We have remained close over the years and he is someone I can trust and count on. I wish Shaun and Rachael nothing but the best in their marriage - congratulations to you two!

Colin Anderson

Ring Bearer

The things I like about my parents wedding is: 1st: I am happy because I finally have a mom! 2nd: I like that my Dad is super nice and we get help around the house. 3rd: I finally have a family and I get a dog and cat! Something else is my mom wants to see me happy and succeed in life and go to college. My dad is proud of me. They both help me be me and I love them both!
