Best Man
My name is Erik Panna and I am honored and humbled to be Toby's best man. I am from Buffalo, NY and was Toby's RA for 2 years before graduating with a degree in Pre-Therapy Psychology. I am now finishing up my masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Medaille College.

Kirsten is my big sister. When she found out my mom was pregnant with me, all she did was cry. Over time we have grown so much closer, and now I look up to her. Even though I am not going to see her as often, I have gained a new family member (Toby) who is funny, caring, and overall an amazing person. I am honored to be a part of their special day.

Hi! My name is Austin Blakeslee. I'm currently a sophomore at Messiah University majoring in Psychology. My hobbies include thrifting and listening to Ariana Grande. As you probably know, I'm the brother of the bride, Kirsten. I'm thankful for her putting up with al my crazy antics, like accidentally dislocating her jaw during a family dinner, streaking through the house as a kid, and attempting to befriend and feed a coyote. Nevertheless, I wouldn't change a thing. Love you Kirsten. -Austin
Bridesmaid
Hi everyone! My name is Natalie, lovingly referred to as Nati. I am honored to be Kirsten’s best friend and boy do I have some stories for you! Kirsten and I met our freshman year of college and were inseparable right from the start. We joke that if she hadn’t met Toby, she would have married me. We have had countless adventures ranging from the simple Chinese food and Netflix every time a new season of Grace and Frankie came out, to the craziness of spending a week touring LA together. I am beyond grateful to have Kirsten as such a big part of my life and am so happy that she and Toby are embarking on this new adventure together!

I am Isaac Pixley, and I had the distinct pleasure of being Toby's longstanding sleeping partn- I mean roommate in college. I 've had several nefarious and outlandish adventures with both him and Kirsten, who was roommates with my wife, Natalie. I love them both greatly. (These may include but are not limited to, piñata wrangling, garbage can rodeos, and duck taming) I'm living with my wife in Washington, D.C. and I enjoy a wide variety of activities; my favorite of which is historical fencing.
