Maid of Honor
Caitlyn and I met after I transferred to Millersville University for Sophomore year of college and decided to join Phi Sigma Pi National Honors Fraternity. We immediately clicked and became friends through the initiation process. Fast forward to Junior year and Caitlyn and I decided to join Delta Zeta sorority together. Little did we know that we would become both sorority sisters and twins! Our friendship continued to strengthen and grow as we finished our time at Millersville and, before I knew it, I had a new best friend for life. Caitlyn has been there for me through the ups and downs of the last few years, and I truly could not imagine my life if I had never met her. She has become one of my closest friends and someone I can count on any time of the day. I always know that she is only a phone call away. We have made countless memories together since Sophomore year of college but our many trips to the beach (when it conveniently always seem to rain!) are probably the most memorable. I am so very fortunate to have her standing by my side on our wedding day!

Where do I even begin! Dixie and I met in middle school and quickly became the best of friends. We created countless memories together through middle school, high school, college, and now adult life. From our numerous sleepovers to our embarrassing runway photo shoots at her house to our physics catapult project to her joining my family vacations to visiting her at Lehigh University to asking her questions about my pregnancy (so proud of her for becoming a future OBGYN) - there are truly so many memories we share. Dixie has seen me at every stage of life and has still decided to stick by my side and be there for me no matter what it is I need. She's one of the dearest friends you could have and my life would not be the same today if I hadn't had her friendship and support along the way. Dixie also helped Zac with surprising me when he proposed and was there to capture the moment for us. I feel incredibly blessed to have her standing by my side on our wedding day!

Jennifer and I also met when I decided to join Phi Sigma Pi National Honors Fraternity in college. Similar to Caitlyn, we immediately bonded and became friends through the initiation process. Jennifer and I even went on to be a great team as President and Vice President of the Honors Fraternity. Jennifer and I also bonded over our similar field choice of Psychology and later on School Psychology - from talking about classes to comparing professors to debating if we made the right career choice (IYKYK - LOL). Jennifer has been there for me through the ups and downs, especially when it comes to the stress and burnout of working in education. So much so that I decided to join her at her school district so, in addition to being close friends, we are now school psych colleagues! I also gained a travel buddy for life as our past yearly trips to the National School Psychology conference have already taken us to Boston, Denver, and Seattle where we've created the best memories by exploring new places. I could not image my life without her and I am so grateful to have her standing by my side on our wedding day!

Once again, I met Keirstyn when I decided to join Phi Sigma Pi National Honors Fraternity in college. However, I would say our friendship truly blossomed and grew when we became roommates when I got tired of commuting and decided to live on campus. While our little Cottage Place apartment was not the nicest or cleanest place in the world, we tried our best to make it feel like our home away from home. From making and eating dinner together in our little living room to getting ready to go out to the bar together, I will forever be grateful for that apartment because it allowed me to build this amazing friendship. While we may not live as close together anymore, I continue to value the friendship we have and, as a bonus, I have a reason to visit Philly! One of my favorite memories together is probably when we went out for New Years in Baltimore, which is also when I made up my mind to meet up with Zac in person! I'm very thankful to have Keirstyn as a friend and to have her standing beside me on our wedding day!
Bridesmaid
While Mikayla and I also went to high school together, we really became close friends and bonded through our mutual job at Hoss's Steak and Sea House. To starting as hostess and salad bar attendants to becoming servers to going to work hungover after a fun night at the bar (typically Granfalloons) or her house (Eric, her husband, is a great bartender), we made countless memories together while working there throughout the years. In addition to work memories, I have some great memories with Mikayla from Ocean City, Maryland after our numerous beach trips over the years. During one trip in particular, I remember Mikayla and I dropped each other several times on the beach while trying to jump on each others backs for a picture after, maybe, having a few drinks. I'm extremely grateful that our friendship has continued to grow over the years and that she now gets to stand beside me on our wedding day!
Bridesmaid
Shauntelle and I also met through our mutual job at Hoss's Steak and Sea House while we were in high school. Over the years, our friendship grew into what it is today and, while we may not talk every week, I know that I can count on her for whatever I need and that our friendship will simply pick up where it last ended. One memory that I will never forget with Shauntelle is her 21st birthday at Granfalloonsn because we both drank so much that we didn't leave the bed the entire next day! Before that, we spent a lot of nights together going out on Jackson Street at York College and dancing the night away. And of course I can't forget our many trips to Ocean City, Maryland, the time we visited New York, and our trip to the Poconos where we visited Camel Beach and went ziplining. I'm fortunate that my friendship with Shauntelle has continued to grow over the years and that I have her standing beside me on our wedding day!
Best Man
Jared has been my best friend since the day we met and has been a constant in my life for over ten years. He’s always had my back, knows more about me than he probably should, and is basically a brother at this point—legally unconfirmed, but spiritually accurate. There was never any question who my best man would be.

Nathan may technically be my uncle, but since we’re so close in age, it always felt more like growing up with a brother. Between endless card games, questionable decisions, and our love to share random useless information, we’ve made more memories than I can count. I wouldn’t want anyone else standing with me.

Wesley is my uncle, coworker, and a great friend. He’s got a great sense of humor, shares many of the same interests, and makes work more enjoyable than it probably should be. Honored to have standing with me.

I met Aiden through work, even though I had known his older brother for years beforehand. His love for Volkswagens and his sense of humor quickly made him a great friend. Let's hope he doesn't do what I did at his wedding and rip his pants on the dance floor. Glad to have him by my side.

Jonathan has been a close friend for nearly a decade and someone I’ve shared countless interests with over the years. Our mutual love for cars and other hobbies has led to plenty of long conversations and good times. A solid friend who I'm happy to have by my side.

Even though Calvin and I have only been friends for a short time, he quickly proved he belonged in this group. Sharing the same hobbies as Jared and me meant he fit right in, and he’s been an awesome friend ever since. I’m glad to have him standing with me on this day.
