Wedding Party
Kyra Denlinger
Maid of Honor
Though Kyra and I may not see each other as much as we used to, our friendship never skips a beat. We met when I started working at Colonial Sports as a summer camp counselor. The past several years have gone by so quickly, but it feels like I've known Kyra my entire life. We were almost inseparable during the first couple years, but our friendship was forever bonded together when we took a life-changing cross-country road trip. She has always inspired me to follow my dreams and pursue being the best version of myself every day. She has stood by me in many adventures in life and I couldn't imagine starting my next one without her standing beside me.
Matthew Zerbe
Best Man
Having met Matt in kindergarten, there are far too many memories for me to even remember. To this day I still don't know why Matt went to Conrad Weiser East (rather than West), but I am glad he did. Apparently so much so that I convinced him to attend Antonelli Institute with me (though it didn't take much). It wasn't until living together that I noticed just how similar we are; both very impulsive, sarcastic, sometimes lazy, but very passionate. Not a lot of people know me the way Zerbe does, which mixed with having known him for almost as long as I have been alive, doesn't come by surprise to anyone that he would be my Best Man.
Ashley Koch
Bridesmaid
I have known Ashley about as long as I have known Adam. We have so many memories together it is hard to remember a time without her in my life. From graduation, 21st Birthdays, countless beach trips, standing beside her on her own wedding day, Adam finally proposing, and Ashley starting a family of her own; she has always been one of my biggest supporters and I can't thank her enough. The next adventures are going to be the greatest and I am so excited to be able to stand beside her as we go through them together.
Josh Williams
Groomsman
Josh was a late addition to the friend group, all thanks to Ashley "OG" Koch. I can't really put a finger on a specific time when we started hanging out, but now it isn't strange for me to crash Ashley and Josh's dinner. It was actually at one of these impromptu dinners that I told Josh I was going to propose, making him the first to know. Josh definitely keeps me on my toes and prevents me from getting old, sometimes to my dismay the next morning. I am so excited, and honored, to be your Best Man when you & Ashley get married in September. I guess you could say 2018 will be a big year for both of us!
Katie Stehman
Bridesmaid
I vividly remember meeting Katie for the first time while visiting Jake at LVC. I knew she was special and that he was head over heels for her. Hard to believe that was when I first met Jakes amazing future wife. Katie has one of the kindest hearts I have ever felt. She has an energy about her that you can't help but love. I am beyond blessed to have her in my life and can't thank Jake enough for impressing her enough to stick around. It has been amazing to watch your love story unfold and now expand as we wait to welcome the new edition to your family.
Jake Stehman
Groomsman
From chubby, shy second grader to t-shirt hustling senior to big-wig recruiter, Jake has come a long way and I have been there to see it all. Playing Sega Dreamcast as kids, or quitting football "cold-turkey" together, or playing pick-up basketball at Drexel, I know there are stories that will always come up. The best and worst part about knowing someone like Jake for so long is that you literally know EVERYTHING about them. However, I do love how Jake always makes people feel welcome. In fact, Danni has said on multiple occasions that he was the first among my friends to make her feel like a part of our group.
Grace Porter
Bridesmaid
You only need one conversation with Grace to realize she is the funniest person you will ever meet. She makes me laugh like no other. I'm talking deep painful belly laughs that make you cry and hold your side but you just can't stop and it makes you so happy. Like me, Grace also wears her heart on her sleeve and cares so deeply for others. To say I am glad I hired you to work with me would be a huge understatement. I often look back at that summer and how it changed my life forever. I cannot wait to be there by your side when you exchange your vows with Matthew.
Shane Heckman
Groomsman
So many laughs in such a short period of time, definitely make up for not knowing Shane all that long. Danni never lets me forget that Shane was her friend first, which is true. So thanks to Danni, I quickly found out that he is extremely genuine & sincere mixed with a little sarcasm, which meant we would get along great. Over the next couple years, thanks to hanging out more, definitely golfing more, and a couple guy trips, we became close friends. There's a good chance that if I didn't pick you to be on my side of the isle that Danni would've asked you to be a...bridesman? Rest assured, even if your mom didn't own a golf course, I still would have chosen to have you up there on my side.
Jocelyn Ewing
Bridesmaid
Not many sisters can say they were there, in the room, the day their little sister was born. I remember every moment, from the sound of her heartbeat on the monitor to the sound of her cries when she was finally born. While Jocelyn is twelve years younger than me, I sometimes think I learn more from her than she from me (though she has a lot of learning to do for herself). I cannot wait to see the type of woman she becomes and know that I am always here for you should you need me.
Michael Drobeck
Groomsman
A man of many nicknames; Drobeck, Drobey, Dr. Obeck, the list goes on (some are definitely better than others). Mike is one of those guys who would give you the shirt off his back, let alone the best electrician in the game! All jokes aside, Drobeck has been one of my closest friends since the days at the Robesonia pool and Wernersville playground. Once my Mom thought I was old enough to cross 422 on my own, hardly a day went by that I didn't go over to the Drobeck's house. Though we may not see each other nearly as much as those days, we always pick back up where we left off.
