Brooke & Garrett
Wedding Party
Chase Venuto
Best Man
Chase is Garrett's little brother and best friend. The title of "Best Man" has never been more deserving. From Garrett putting the dogs electric collar on his neck and pushing him through the invisible fence, to getting beat up every time he would win in Xbox, Chase has been through it all. Most of you know how Garrett can be, and for them to be so close all these years says a lot about their bond.
Amanda Scala
Maid of Honor
Let's start by reading everyone's mind, "Who is Amanda???" "Scala" is Brooke's best friend who she met day one of graduate school at NYU. Scala and Brooke became best friends and she quickly found her way into Brooke and Garrett's relationship. Scala is a ride or die friend and someone who would do anything for both Brooke and Garrett. Brooke cannot imagine this day without Scala by her side!
Zach Feldshuh
Groomsman/ Officiant
Zach is Garrett's best friend and childhood neighbor. He was also Garrett's center from 4th grade small fry football until 7th grade when Zach hit puberty and wanted to play a position that attracted the chicks. Even through Garrett and Zach have never lived in the same city since Ithaca, they share an unbreakable bond that will last a lifetime.
Rose Heltsley
Bridesmaid
Rose is Garrett's best gift to Brooke! Brooke and Rose met through Garrett senior year at Penn State as Garrett and Rose new each other from growing up together in Ithaca. Both Rose and Brooke remember passing each other leaving/coming to Garrett's apartment and wondering about who the other person was! Brooke was thrilled when Rose decided to move to Baltimore after college and they became best friends quick. Brooke and Rose lived together and Brooke is the godmother to Rose's babies, "Ollie" and "Bane"
Matt Porter
Groomsman
At the end of Freshman year, Garrett didn't have a ride home from college. He searched long and hard before he found someone in the 607 area code with a car. Luckily for everyone, Porter picked Garrett up and became best friends ever since. Porter and Garrett lived together at Penn State, had some of the most memorable times of their lives and have supported each other on every journey they have taken. You will likely find Porter on the dance floor during the entire night...
Jamie Popielarski
Bridesmaid
Jamie is Brooke's go-to medical advisor, cheerer-upper, snuggler and best friend. Jamie and Brooke met at Penn State through Rose! Jamie decided to move to Baltimore after college (lucky Brooke!) and attend John's Hopkins for nursing school. Jamie and Brooke lived together in Baltimore prior to Brooke moving to NYC. Jamie is the most sound, thoughtful and caring friend which is why Brooke needed Jamie to be a part of her big day!
Colin Stuart
Groomsman
If you were to ask Colin how Garrett has friends in both Ithaca and NYC he would say it was all because of him. Colin took the young freshman on the Varsity lacrosse team under his wing and it has been a whirlwind ever since. Colin is probably the only friend who has visited Garrett in every city, state, and apartment he has ever been in. He is the type of friend that you can always count on which is why he was an easy choice as a groomsman.
Sarah Powers
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Brooke became close friends QUICK! Sarah keeps Brooke and Garrett both laughing, constantly. Sarah and Brooke often have dinner/wine Wednesday's at Brooke's apartment. Sarah keeps Brooke and Garrett sane with thoughtful words and advice for handling any stressful situation which is why they can't imagine their wedding day without Sarah being a part of it!
Matt Pitzer
Groomsman
Fun fact; Pitzer wasn't a fan of Garrett in high school (mostly because he got beat 1-1 by a freshman everyday). However, once Garrett moved to NYC, they quickly became great friends as they both share their love for the finer things in life (i.e. wine, Montauk, etc.).
Jen Hensley
Bridesmaid
Jen is Brooke's "work mom." Jen and Brooke met through friends who introduced them as they are both Occupational Therapists. Jen is Brooke's go-to girl for anything OT, fashion, or life related! Jen has been a big part of Brooke and Garrett's relationship for the past few years and Brooke cannot imagine her day without Jen as a Bridesmaid!
Jesse Spund
Groomsman
Jesse is Brooke's twin brother and one of Garrett's new brothers. Garrett and Jesse have been close ever since the 2nd time they met (we won't discuss the first). They have shared some great times together, and have even gone on vacation without Brooke. Garrett is extremely lucky to have someone who has Brooke's back every second of the day.
Chloe Frank
Bridesmaid
Chloe is Brooke's twin brother's (Jesse) fiancé and like a sister to Brooke. Chloe is the most selfless, positive and fun person and Brooke feels so lucky that Jesse found her! Chloe is known to send "care packages" to Brooke every few months to make sure Brooke feels the love from Baltimore to NYC! Chloe would do ANYTHING for anyone and Brooke feels lucky to have her as one of her bridesmaids.
Bryan Spund
Groomsman
Bryan is Brooke's older brother that has also been an older brother to Garrett since they met 6 years ago. Garrett and Bryan share their love for food, cocktails and traveling! Garrett feels so lucky to have an older brother that he can reach out to for any type of advice!
Sarah Spund
Bridesmaid
Sarah is Brooke's sister-in-law! Brooke was so excited when Sarah and Bryan got married and Brooke finally had a sister. Brooke and Sarah have known each other for about 15 years from when Sarah was Brooke's counselor at camp! Sarah is an inspiration to Brooke in so many ways and Brooke cannot wait to have Sarah as a bridesmaid for her wedding day!
