Wedding Party
Brylin Adams
Maid of Honor
Brylin is Brynn's little sister. Growing up with Bry was no small task, but the two were always inseparable. Brylin is best known for her spunky attitude, sick lacrosse skills, love for Pittsburgh sports, indecisiveness on picking a restaurant for dinner, and her incredible work ethic. Bry claims Brynn's life would be boring without her and she is convinced she is the better athlete... she even somehow taught Brynn how to “play” lacrosse so well, that they both played a year together in college. Brylin is currently living it up in Arkansas, assistant coaching Hendrix College women's lacrosse. Chances are if Brynn and Bry are together, things are never serious. Conversation Starter: Ask Brylin about her experience of being a secretive Pittsburgh Penguins fan while interning with the Philadelphia Flyers.
Tom Edelmann
Best Man
Tom Edelmann aka Tomcat aka TomForPres is Zach's older brother and a best friend since birth. Although Zach may have been Tom's punching bag earlier in their childhood, Zach undoubtedly was always WAY cooler than Tom. This forced Tom to bring his super cool younger brother Zach around his friends more than he wanted to. They EVENTUALLY decided to stop fighting and enjoy each other's company, although they occasionally break out in petty arguments that drive everyone insane, but ya know, bragging rights. Tom is known for having an incredible 100% record in never losing an argument, or at least that's what he'll tell you. Known for having epic "Brew Days", Tom has transformed his basement of his home into a small brewery which has led to creating tasty craft beers of all kinds you will not be able to find in stores. Conversation Starter: Ask Tom about the time he shoved Zach through their parents drywall creating a permanent "butt print".
Kelly Maisel
Bridesmaid
Kelly has been Brynn's best friend since middle school (oh yeah, the glory days). Kelly and Brynn quickly bonded over their obsession with silly bands, matching Vera Bradley backpacks, and cafeteria ice cream . They have both been through a lot together that the memories are endless. Kelly is best known for her love of Zac Efron, Bruno Mars, and cats. She definitely isn't afraid to tell you like it is. Kelly recently married her husband, Josh, and is currently killing it as a middle school math teacher. She is also a cat mom of two to Poncho and Pepe. Conversation Starter: Ask Kelly about the time she made a teacher cry. P.S. Kelly was responsible for making the beautiful bridal party bouquets.
Ronnie Coleman
Groomsman
Often mistaken as a very popular biblical figure because of his luscious long brown hair, Ronnie has been like Zach's 2nd brother since 8 years old. Living just four houses down from Zach for their entire childhood, Ronnie and Zach spent many hours together playing their made-up basketball game "two-bounce", tossing a frisbee around in the middle of the street or trying to beat every video game imaginable. In their post-high school years Ronnie and Zach had a phase where they would often hang out late into the summer nights and decide to go get Wendy's at 1:50AM, 10 minutes before they closed. Ronnie also is very well known for making legendary chocolate chip cookies. Conversation Starter: Ask Ronnie about the time he and Zach ate wings and Zach had an allergic reaction.
Kirsten Kosa
Bridesmaid
Kirsten is Kelly's younger sister and Brylin's childhood best friend. Whenever you have Brynn, Kelly, Brylin, and Kirsten together, look out. Growing up with the Kosa's was like having a second family for both Brynn and Brylin. Kirsten is best known for being an all-star tennis player at DeSales University, her love for bulldogs, and a gnarly sweet tooth. Brynn considers Kir to be the the second sister she never had. Kirsten is pursing her dreams at Ross University on St. Kitts Island in the Caribbean. She is studying to become a Veterinarian and we are so proud of her! Conversation Starter: Ask Kirsten about collecting turtles.
Joe Ott
Groomsman
Dr. Joseph Ott, Chief Warrant Officer 2 of the United States Army Reserve. The man who can do any blue collar job imaginable, can fix anything, but also has a Ph.D. in Rehabilitation Science and Technology, while also climbing the ranks in the US Army. Zach was lucky enough to room next to Joe in their freshman dorm at RMU (shout out Ross Hall!) and have Joe help him through the tough engineering classes they took together. No seriously, Zach most likely would not have an Engineering Degree if Joe wasn't there to yell at him when he was procrastinating his homework. They quickly became buddies and went through the highs and lows of college together, then Joe helped Zach get a job and worked together at the University of Pitt for a brief period of time. Zach owes much of his success to this incredible friend. Conversation Starter: Ask Joe about the time Zach helped him move from Pittsburgh, PA to Denver, CO and the 26 hour drive they took to get there during the Covid year in 2020.
Rachel Crane
Bridesmaid
Rachel was one of Brynn's first friends in college. They quickly became best friends since they spent almost every moment together while running thousands of miles for the cross country and track team. Even though Brynn was a very inexperienced runner, Rachel was one of the reasons she continued to run for RMU. Her friendship and sense of humor is something Brynn will forever be grateful for. Rachel is best known for her obsession with Disney, running marathons, and her artistic eye. Rachel is loving her job as an OB Nurse and is incredible at what she does. Conversation Starter: Ask Rachel about when she watched Brynn trip on her own feet in the middle of an intersection.
Zack Graham
Groomsman
Dr. Zack Graham. Zack Geezy. Crayfish Master. Will be known as "Zack G" for the sake of identification. Zack G was Zach E's first ever friend from school when they met in kindergarten and definitely one of his most adventurous friends. They used to go behind Zach E's parents' house down the hill and into "the crick" to catch snakes, crayfish, salamanders and other types of animals. In high school they played volleyball together as well as always making sure they were on the same team in gym class. FACT: There was never a time where Zach E's height measured within 1 ft of Zack G's. FACT: Zack G is the only person to ever witness Zach E take a poop in the woods. Conversation Starter: Ask Zack G about the many times he invited Zach E to his house just so his mom would order pizza.
Theresa Miller
Bridesmaid
Theresa is Zach's older sister. She is a Penn State alum and works as an editor for the Optica Publishing Group. Her love of music is very special, as she is an incredible singer and piano player. She also is a mother of two to Maddie and Charlie who have amazing talents of their own. She is still able to recite every song lyric from when Tom and Zach would force her to watch Disney movies 100 times over as kids. She also has dope culinary skills. Conversation Starter: Ask Theresa about her thorough historical knowledge of the Scooby Doo series.
Pat Kapfhammer
Groomsman
Pat Kapf. This poor guy was bullied by Zach all 4 years of college despite having a Black Belt in Hapkido and knowing he could beat the crap out of Zach at any moment. Somehow even after enduring the torture, he decided to continue being one of Zach's closest friends. Pat lived across the hall from Zach freshman year (Shout out Ross Hall!) and was roommates with Colin. In college, Pat was known for his "secret shots" which usually meant you were going to have a rough morning. Pat worked for the Allegheny Health Department after college and has probably shut down some of your favorite restaurants for health code violations. When visiting Zach in Chicago for a weekend trip, he adopted an alter ego we named as "Chicago Pat" that we agreed would never be allowed to come out again. But seriously, Pat's a good kid. Conversation Starter: Ask Patrick about the one time he "accidentally" threw a Yankee Candle at Zach.
Melissa Graham
Bridesmaid
AKA Sammy Grammy Melissa is one of Zach's best friends from college and quickly became a true friend of Brynn as well. She grew up on a farm in Indiana, PA and was known for her farm land shenanigans and love of goats. She is also an avid runner and has participated in multiple Pittsburgh Marathons. She owns her own photography business, Liss G Photography, (Go check it out on Facebook/Instagram!) and captured the action shots of Brynn and Zach's proposal. Conversation Starter: Ask Melissa about her stories of Zach in college, the ones that he doesn't want anyone else to hear.
Colin Sullivan
Groomsman
Colin Sullivan aka the undisputed Greatest Kid in the World, who roomed with Patrick and lived across from Zach their freshman year at RMU (Shout out to Ross Hall!). He has never hurt a fly, but also saved over 1000+ babies. As a matter of fact, he's saved Zach's life on multiple occasions throughout their college years at RMU. Colin is the light that everybody needs in their life. Colin married a lovely English woman and in return, the USA government made him the Ambassador to England, I think. Colin will always be better than Zach at ping pong, and Zach has accepted this. Not a day goes by that Zach doesn't thank Colin for being his hero. Conversation Starter: Ask Colin about his famous dance move "There's a baby in the car!"
Drew Gerberich
Officiant
Drew (aka DrewBear) was an easy choice for Zach and Brynn to pick as the Officiant of their wedding. Drew lived down the hall from Zach during their freshman year of college. They quickly became friends when Zach helped get Drew's dorm room TV to work (among other quick fixes that Drew gave Zach to build his confidence). After that, Zach and Drew were the definition of best friends. Three years later, Brynn started her freshman year and met Drew because he also ran track and cross country at RMU. I guess you could say Drew is the reason Brynn and Zach ever met. Drew is still considered a best friend of both Brynn and Zach to this day. They often hang out at Phillies games when they get a chance. Drew and his wife, Samantha, have always been there for the couple and Brynn and Zach truly value their friendship. Conversation Starter: Ask Drew about his investment opportunity with Texas Roadhouse and his average number of visits per year. Bonus Question: Ask how many Texas Roadhouse rolls he can eat in one sitting.
