Wedding Party
Kevin Collins
Best Man
Gio's best friend, roommate from college, and former sparring partner in boxing. Gio was also Kevin's best man in his wedding! Thanks to Kevin, Nessa met Adrian who is her Matron of Honor.
Adrian Collins
Matron of Honor
One of Nessa's closest friends from college, who she met through Gio's best man Kevin. Nessa was in Adrian and Kevin's wedding in June of 2024 and was the first person to know Kevin was proposing - still the hardest secret she's ever kept!
Lyndon Saylor
Groomsman
Nessa's cousin and close friend of the couple. Lyndon has always been more so like a big brother to Nessa, and he instantly hit it off with Gio! You can normally find the three of them together at family gatherings.
Hannah Papcun
Maid of Honor
Nessa's best friend from college, Hannah. When Hannah and Nessa first met, it was because Nessa begged Hannah to apply for a position within SGA at college. While Hannah was hesitant at first, the two soon became inseparable. Often described as "written in the same font" by those who know them.
Jeremy Plows
Groomsman
Gio's coworker and close friend, Jeremy. Gio was in Jeremy's wedding last summer as a groomsman, and they have many great memories in the gym together, playing new video games, and helping each other with home projects.
Kendra Smith
Bridesmaid
Nessa's best friend from high school, Kendra has know Nessa for over a decade now. The two met in cheerleading back in 2012, and have been close ever since despite moving hours away from each other. Team Ken 5ever! ;)
Michael Yahner
Groomsman
A close friend of Gio's from college, Mikey. Gio and Mikey were in the same fraternity throughout college along with our Best Man, Kevin. Gio, Mikey, and Kevin all summited Mount Katahdin in Maine together in June of 2024!
Jess Houck
Bridesmaid
Nessa's other best friend from high school who she also met through cheerleading over ten years ago. It wasn't uncommon to find Nessa, Kendra, and Jess goofing off at cheer practice or sporting events together. Nessa was in Jess's wedding in Las Vegas in April of 2023!
Taylor Ponchione
Officiant
Taylor is one of Nessa's best friends from college as well as a good friend of Gio's. Nessa and Taylor became friends earlier in college, and kept each other sane while they both worked on Masters Degrees. From 5am coffee runs to the Starbucks in Ebensburg, to late nights of studying at school, if you could find Taylor you could usually find Nessa.
