Brittnee & Ethan
Wedding Party
Chelsea Formanik
Maid of Honor
Brittnee's childhood best friend, 20 years of friendship that started back in grade school at St. John Bosco! More like a sister these two are an unbreakable bond! Ethan and Brittnee actually met thanks to Chelsea and her husband Syndell! If it weren't for their wedding (and a couch) we wouldn't be celebrating Brittnee & Ethan's wedding today! New mom of Zayn, works in an office now but don't let her kid you, she makes a mean drink as a bartender!
Teddie Bracken
Best Man
Ethan and Teddie have been friends for over 18 years. They played baseball together growing up, all the way through high school. Ethan's favorite memory with Teddie is the time they picked sweetcorn, ordered pizza and went swimming in the neighbors pond! Truly an epic summer to remember! Teddie is a firefighter/paramedic for Central Fire, father to TJ and a husband. He's the brother Ethan never had!
Alex Hogan
Bridesmaid
Brittnee's childhood best friend from grade school! From the playground at recess to walking down the aisle with her these two have been through thick and thin for 15+ years! More like sisters than friends Alex, Chelsea and Brittnee are their own version of the Three Musketeers! School teacher for Berea City School District and Special-Ed teacher, Alex and Brittnee both share the love and passion for children in their careers!
Brian Bumgardner
Groomsman
Ethan and Brian have been friends for over 13 years. Both loved playing football and baseball for the Smithville Smithies. Brian and Ethan would spend hours in the shop working on quite a few cars over the years! Brian works for PSA Airlines as an airplane mechanic and like Teddie, is the second brother Ethan never had!
Alaina Miller
Bridesmaid
Soon to be Sister-In-Law of both the bride and groom (if Brian would hurry up!) Occupational Therapist for The Cleveland Clinic (with her Masters y'all!) and Dog Mom to a handsome cocker spaniel named Nike that Brian will say is his!
Brian Shirk
Groomsman
Soon to be Brother-in-Law of Ethan and Brittnee's not-so-little brother! Police officer for the city of Parma, gardening connoisseur and bridesmaid Alaina's better half! He's just happy that Ethan will now be the phone call for every time Brittnee's unreliable Rav breaks down! Brian and Ethan bond by going out back and shooting off their toys together (while drinking beer and complaining about their women of course.)
Katie Schroer
Bridesmaid
The night of their first date Ethan brought Brittnee over to the Schroer's and now they're friends who became family! Ever since that first night Sunday's are officially Sunday Fundays and you don't miss Sunday Fundays! Wife of Alan, nurse at Wooster Hospital and Mom of Tyler & Alex. Katie is Brittnee's "Wayne County Best Friend!" Katie helped Brittnee pick out the perfect wedding dress and actually talked (very untraditional) Brittnee into wearing a veil!
Alan Schroer
Groomsman
If Ethan & Brittnee aren't home they're at Al's. Best friend and BBQ boss to Ethan (and occasionally Brittnee), the stories here are endless! Unless you have a lot of time on your hands, don't ask! Ethan an Al love working on projects together and rewarding themselves with a cold cocktail on the porch once finished! Father of Tyler and Alex, husband of Katie, carpenter, hunter, fisher, After Hours BBQ co-owner.
Serena DeLaGrange
Bridesmaid
Nothing creates a stronger bond than sharing a similar farm life and career life! Serena works with Brittnee at Smuckers where everyday is a new adventure of kids, boogers, spills and giggles! Their love of food and coffee is also a huge factor in this friendship! Teacher (with her BA in business) and farmer!
Bruce Weeman
Groomsman
Bruce is the father of Ethan. Bruce is first Ethan's father and second the owner/boss of Weeman farms. The most memorable moments Ethan shares with his dad are everyday on the farm ever since he was able to be alongside him. Bruce taught Ethan the value of a dollar and how to care for the animals and equipment on the farm. Husband and father of five Bruce admits Ethan's his favorite son!
Hanna Smith
Bridesmaid
Hanna is also a coworker at Smuckers with Brittnee but she just accepted and started a brand new job at The Albert Einstein Academy in Lakewood Ohio after just graduating from Ashland University! Hanna introduced Brittnee to yoga (which has fallen through) but shows just what kind of positive influence she's had on Brittnee's life in the past year! Most of their time spent together is filled with laughter at work where toddlers run the roost and it's just one big party all day every day!
Josh Crall
Groomsman
i have known josh for 14 years and he's a damn good brother in law! Josh works for Buckeye pipeline and is co owner of Afterhours BBQ. My most memorable time with josh is when we go to florida for vacation and golf. Our only rule of the day is if you dont hit your ball past the womans tee box you have to hit it off the womans tee box with your shorts at your ankles for the whole course to see the embarassment. Josh is the husband to Carolyn and the father to Camryn, Bronson, and Waylon.
Ashlee Howman
Bridesmaid
Ashlee and Brittnee are co-teachers (technically she's Brittnee's boss) and as hard as they work they play even harder! From sweating their buns off at Hot Yoga to dying of dehydration at The Warrior Dash their friendship is literally based on pushing their bodies to the limit! That includes getting tipsy off $1 Applebee's drinks and wolfing down as much pancakes as they can at IHOP. Ashlee is a hair and beauty expert and her favorite hobby is talking Brittnee, Serena and Hanna into buying everything Ulta offers. She's "the best/worst work wife ever."
Rick Leporis
Groomsman
Ethan has known Rick for over 6 years. Rick is an independent carpenter/contractor and amazing at what he does! Sometimes Ethan helps on the job (which Brittnee loves because he comes home handier than ever!) Ethan and Rick would walk (at 11 o'clock at night) to the farms pond with a 10ft trident pole to snatch up some frogs for dinner the following day! The one time they caught a bunch Rick forgot to cover the bucket and all the frogs got away. Part of the infamous Sunday Funday crew, Father to Molly and family to Ethan and Brittnee, even Lizzie calls him Uncle Rick!
Elizabeth Shirk
Flower Girl
Brittnee's whole world, her daughter Lizzie! The day Brittnee & Ethan got engaged Lizzie piped up and asked her first question about the wedding: "Can I be the flower girl?!" Obviously the answer was yes so look out for the bride's mini me coming down the aisle!
