William & Liana
Wedding Party
Jessi Hollingshead
Maid of Honor
Jessi and Liana grew up together, though they didn't always get along. In middle school, something clicked and the two became best friends, taking trips together (voluntarily), going to each other's high school dances, and having sleepovers for days at a time. Today, Jessi and Liana share a deep understanding of one another that is isn't found outside of a lifelong friendship. Liana is so grateful to have Jessi as her Maid of Honor.
Larry Jordan
Best Man
Larry and William met in High School Debate and have been the best of friends ever since. Larry would drive William to tournaments at other schools and they grew closer because of it. William and Larry would hang out every weekend, always finding some new adventure. Larry is currently the head nerd and Dungeon Master for a Dungeon & Dragons game William plays in every Sunday. William couldn't be more excited for his best friend to be his best man on his big day.
Amanda
Matron of Honor
Amanda started as Liana's babysitter and has become her best friend. Growing up, Amanda was always the person Liana wanted to emulate; today, the two call themselves Soul Sisters, chatting days and nights away, drinking coffee and eating thai food, and truly enjoying every ounce of each other's company. Liana wouldn't have anyone else as her Matron of Honor.
Jeremy Plum
Groomsman
William met Jeremy in Jr. High and they have grown closer throughout the years. Jeremy and William have an interesting relationship, always getting in trouble when they are around one another. William and Jeremy both developed a love for longboarding and spent countless hours injuring themselves on Michigan hills. Will is so excited to have Jeremy as one of his groomsmen.
Holly Hopkin
Bridesmaid
Liana and Holly were roommates freshman year at Grand Valley, experiencing the excitement of college (yes, even in the Honors College) together. Now, Holly and Liana share an annual "girls weekend" every January, spicing up the dull winter months with quality time. Holly has the kindest heart and Liana is so honored to have this sweet friend stand by her side.
Danny Milano
Groomsman
William and Danny are longtime family friends. When William and Danny met for the first time, they immediately hit it off and had several things in common. Over the years, William and Danny have gone on many hikes, rode many trails, and had the occasional wipe out knowing that the other person always had their back. William is thankful to have Danny standing by his side.
Claire Crosmun
Bridesmaid
Liana and Claire met during "nerd camp" freshman year at Grand Valley and became roommates Sophomore - Senior year. Claire always laughed at Liana's dumb jokes, snuggled for movie marathons, and did the chores Liana hated, like taking out the trash and shoveling the porch. Liana is so thankful to have Claire by her side.
RJ Pellerito
Groomsman
RJ is William's older cousin. As William grew up, he would spend the night at RJ's, going tubing and boating. As William got older, RJ became an even closer friend. William and RJ would go on snowmobiling trips over the weekend and bond over conversation on the long drive to the UP. Will is grateful RJ is going to be supporting him on his wedding day.
Kate Nasser
Bridesmaid
Kate and Liana met at middle school softball, a friendship that blossomed because Liana thought Kate's sassy haircut was cool and Kate was impressed with Liana's MySpace skills. The two were nearly inseparable through high school - from school dances to UP cabin trips to having their first drinks, Kate and Liana did a lot of growing up together. Liana is so thankful to have Kate as a part of this big life experience, too!
Fritz Kramp
Groomsman
William met Fritz for the first time when he went on a double date with Liana and Amanda. William quickly grew close to Fritz and immensely enjoyed the deep conversation that followed. Will and Liana are so happy that both Amanda and Fritz are a part of the bridal party.
Katie Massa
Bridesmaid
Katie and Liana have been friends since middle school. Katie and Liana love to spend time together, bonding over personal finance, their strong personalities, and their similar outlooks on the world. Liana can always count on Katie to check in on her and truly lend a listening ear, often paired with sound, rational advice. Liana is so grateful to have Katie in her bridal party.
Paul McDonald
Groomsman
William met Paul, his brother-in-law, on Sera and Paul's first date and quickly decided he didn't like Paul. After Sera had a couple boyfriends that "didn't treat her right," he was very protective of her. After some time passed, William realized that Sera could not have found a better partner. Paul has grown to be a wonderful brother and friend in William's eyes. Will and Liana are grateful to have their brother-in-law as part of their wedding day.
Amanda Greco
