Samantha & Tyler
Wedding Party
Kara Cobun
Maid of Honor
Kara and I met in a Biology lab our Sophomore year at WVU, and she quickly became one of the best friends I have ever had. Kara and I took our friendship to the next level and became roommates for the following two years. The memories we have shared are far too numerous to list, but having this incredible woman as my Maid of Honor is a dream come true.
John Kinney
Best Man
John and Tyler met in Kindergarten when Tyler asked to borrow his Pokemon Fire Red Guide Book. They became quick friends and permanently attached at the hip until their high school graduation. Through college they kept in touch by playing video games online and visiting each other often. John is Tyler's oldest friend (and the one he trusted most not to lose the rings).
Kelley Morris
Bridesmaid
Kelley is my older sister. If everything looks perfect on our big day - you can bet she had a hand in it. I'm not sure if she has gotten over me ruining her perfect gig as an only child yet, but she has put in a lot of time and effort to make sure Tyler and I have the wedding of our dreams!
Jackson Cookman
Groomsman
Jackson and Tyler met at college - they both majored in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering. Between class work and good old fashion fun , Jackson ended up sleeping on Tyler's couch most of their senior year. This hasn't changed much since then, he still comes to visit and claims the couch. Jackson is the spontaneous one of the group who is always up for an adventure.
Chloe Lochbaum
Bridesmaid
Chloe is the reason we are here folks! If you read the "How We Met" section then you already know - it was Chloe that introduced Tyler and I ! We originally met as teammates - we both played rugby for West Virginia University. It wasn't long before we were spending time together outside practice as well. If you see Chloe during the festivities , be sure to congratulate her - she is also on her way to happily ever after with her fiancee , Dominic!
George Rippel
Groomsman
George and Tyler met through baseball as kids. Tyler's baseball career didn't last long - he broke his arm .... at team pictures. George and Tyler remained close friends when George moved while they were in high school. George went to Penn State University but he also majored in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering.
Hunter Seech
Bridesman
Hunter has been the most incredible friend I could have ever asked for. We met during the first week of his Freshman year at WVU. From Gossip Girl marathons and St. Patrick's Day celebrations , to sledding on inner-tubes and the adventures of 732 A Weaver Street , I couldn't imagine getting married without him by my side.
Ronnie Bitner Jr.
Groomsman
Ronnie and Tyler were neighbors growing up. Living just a few houses down, they were bound to be close friends. Ronnie currently resides in their hometown, Pasadena, Maryland.
