Liliana Marie & Kyle Joseph
Wedding Party
Isabella Carrano
Maid of Honor
Isabella is my best friend and I wouldn't want to get married without her. I don't know many people with her level of dedication: not only to her to her friends and her family, but to her own growth and making herself the best person she can be. I may have been on this earth first, but she never ceases to amaze me with her drive and wisdom. She also so happens to be incredibly funny and beautiful. If you see Isabella, ask her about her life as a recovering book-buying addict, her current hobby (it changes regularly), her welding career, or her coworkers.
Cole Hughes
Best Man
Cole is my closest brother. He's seen me grow up to be the person I am today right by my side from the day he was born. We share so many memories, both good and bad, and I couldn't ask for anyone else to annoy me my whole childhood, just to turn out to be the most likable person I know. He is fairly quiet and reserved which I think he gets from me, and he has wisdom and maturity for when you need a helpful thought, but he can be funny at the most random time. Some of my favorite memories of my childhood are from spending time in the woods with Cole, probably doing some crazy dumb activity like shooting each other with paintball guns or snowboarding. It's only been the past few recent years that I've truly started to see the real Cole, and have meaningful conversations. As a brother, you don't really get around to that until later because you hate each other the first 18 years. He means so much to me, and I can't wait to see where God takes him on his journey in life. If you see Cole, ask about his love for the outdoors, or what he's been seeing on his trail camera, or where he calls home (it's complicated).
Kevanne Hughes
Bridesmaid
I am so grateful to be marrying into a family that has Kev in it. As a shy eighteen-year-old when we met, I was intimidated by the fact that she is obviously way cooler than me. While I was right about that, I also learned about her uncanny ability to make anyone feel welcome. As a fellow counselor, she has graciously guided me through assignments and given me invaluable advice to thriving in a profession that can so easily leave you drained. Kev is fiercely loyal, a peacemaker, funny, and blunt, and I am so glad to call her my future sister-in-love. If you want to start a conversation with Kev, ask her about her houseplants, knitting, soap-making, or how to make a good latte.
Caleb Weidner
Groomsman
Caleb is one of my best friends from childhood who never ceases to amaze me with what hobbies he can get into. If you need a graphic designer, he's your guy. If you need a photographer, he's your guy. If you need someone to put a specially curated playlist together, he's your guy. I've never laughed harder than when I was with Caleb, although he is particularly reserved and quiet when you first meet him. Many nights playing basketball, listening to music, or just talking about life are the moments that make up our friendship and I couldn't ask for more. He cares deeply about the feelings that affect you most, and he often gives words of encouragement when things get tough. Caleb knows how to make you feel cared for and seen. He has always been there for me, to listen, to give advice, or make me laugh. Caleb is the type of person who will always have a level head on their shoulders and be trusted. If you want to have a conversation with Caleb, ask him about his legitimate Christian apparel company, or his love for the most interesting of sports, pickleball and disc golf, or Philly sports.
Annie Shropshire
Bridesmaid
Annie and I met through our church when I was in middle school. Any friend who can know you through your most awkward teen phases and still love you is one worth keeping. We have had more sleepovers and adventures in the woods than I can count, and memories like that have kept us glued together even across state lines. Annie's sense of humor is unmatched, she is sincerely wise, and she is the most supportive cheerleader. I am so grateful for her enduring presence in my life! To start a conversation with Annie, ask her about the various times as children we chased/were chased by wild birds, the time she almost ran my brother over with a golf cart, or her cat Piper!
Marco Cabezas
Groomsman
Marco and I go way back. We both grew up in church together, and were friends as toddlers even though he seemed way younger than me. Difficult circumstances separated our paths when we were both young teenagers, however God put us back in each other's lives late in high school, and year's later, we've never been closer. Marco is hilarious, kind, hard-working, and wears his heart on his sleeve. He's everything you could ask for in a friend, except when he doesn't want to hang out because he's too busy "getting this bread". We have shared many memories these past several years, the best ones including together listening to our favorite Christian Hip/Hop artist from when he first came out with music til now, playing endless hours of basketball at the local gym, and going out for ice cream on a random weeknight. I know it sounds strange, but Marco has become like a son to me because of the past experiences I've shared with him so he could learn from my mistakes. If you want to strike up a conversation with Marco, just ask him about his startup business, MJC Landscaping, or the best moments of his time playing basketball, or lastly, which fruit is the best to put in a smoothie. The kid loves his smoothies.
Claire Reynolds
Bridesmaid
Claire and I became friends quite literally on accident when she spilled coffee on me while trying to compliment my outfit. We both worked together as Resident Assistants at LBC, and slowly found ourselves hanging out more and more until we basically lived in each other's rooms. Claire is one of the brightest, funniest people I've ever met and has a way of lightening the mood in even the most tense of situations, but is also incredibly down to earth and real. She has a knack for loving people and I'm so blessed she chose to share that gift with me! If you see Claire, ask her about her Florida cousins, her nephew Mason, or what a "wedding vespa" is.
Brian Coburn
Groomsman
Brian is the kind of friend who everyone needs. When Brian and I became friends at college, I could tell that he was going to be someone I could trust and befriend. We have had many classes together which were fun, and the time outside of class was always a blast. Brian is very stoic and serious, yet he will get to know you on a personal level which reveals his compassionate heart. His love for God is brought out in the way he talks and the work ethic shown in his work. There are not too many people who can do the things Brian has done in college and do them well. Star baseball player with many accomplishments as well as a great student, Brian is an awesome example to admire and work alongside with. If you want to strike up a conversation with Brian, ask him about the LBC Chargers baseball team and how many times he's been close to winning the championship. Or ask about the college group 'Finishers for Christ' which he led on campus. Or ask about his experience as an operations manager at the Chester County airport.
Marissa Hartman
Bridesmaid
When we met in high school, Marissa and I mutually agreed that we would be friends forever, which is only part of the reason that she's one of my bridesmaids. For one thing, she's incredibly smart and thoughtful. She is one of those people who feel like home - no matter how many months have gone by since we've seen each other, she always is ready to pick right back up laughing. We are the same kind of weird, and whether it's picnics on the beach getting sand blown into our food, leaving for college visits at 3 AM, or fancy dinners at french restaurants neither of us can really afford, I am incredibly grateful to have her by my side! If you'd like to start a conversation with Marissa, ask her about Florida, her future career in Human Resources, or her family.
Michael Carrano
Groomsman
Michael is the brother of the bride. You can only imagine how long it took for him to come around to liking me. Four years later and he finally has warmed up to me, and it wasn't always easy. Michael is the type of guy that has a very unique love-language, mainly consisting of talking to me about his very niche interests. I'll get to those later, but first, Michael is super funny at very sporadic moments, and then cool as a cucumber for the rest of the time. I think most teenage boys are that way, because looking back, I was like that too. He has become like another brother to me, someone who I look forward to having a good chuckle at when I come to visit. If you are someone he loves, Michael will surprise you with doing something nice at the most random time. He has been so much fun to get to know over the past several years, and I'm glad I get to call him family. If you want to talk to Michael, ask him about his farm on Farming Simulator. Or ask about his miniature construction site replica that he got first place on at school. He will probably tell you a pretty animated story about one or the other.
Lauren Carrano
Bridesmaid
Lauren is definitely the coolest thirteen-year-old I've ever met. As a sister, she is funny and kind, and a great friend! She is quite the creative, and I love coming home from college and seeing what new art additions she's added to her wall. If you want to start a conversation with Lauren, ask her about mushrooms, frogs, or baking.
Caleb Carpenter
Groomsman
Caleb was probably the fastest I became friends with out of the rest of the groomsmen. It felt like we had been friends for years the first time we hung out. I remember immediately bonding over sharing very similar childhoods growing up attending a private Christian school in South Jersey. We met in college, but played sports against each other in high school. The memories of other people in high school that we played against made us laugh so much. Going to school in the same athletic conference, going to the same college, and having very similar hobbies made it very easy to become friends and share experiences. Caleb is a totally caring guy who will talk about anything that concerns him or you. He's an extremely relatable person, and he loves to talk about Jesus with you. I am blessed to call him a friend. If you are interested in chatting with Caleb, ask him about his most memorable hunting experiences, or how he got into skiing, or what it was like to work on a $500,000 stage prop. Be sure to mention your opinions on the end times and you'll be talking for a very long time.
Audrey Carrano
Bridesmaid
Audrey gets cooler every year, which is really unfair to me since I had to live with her when she sucked her thumb. She is far more put together than I ever was at fifteen and I admire her for her humor, her dedication to hard work, and her desire to help others. If you talk to Audrey, ask her about her high school pre-med studies or her clinically overweight cat, Baby.
Andrew Zentner
Groomsman
Andrew, Andrew, Andrew. His head and his toes are in two different zip codes. He is one of the most peculiar dudes you may ever run into. And you may not even actually run into him because you can see him from a mile away. All jokes aside, Andrew has been a dear friend to me the last few years. We met at college, but didn't become close friends until sophomore year. We became close enough friends that we have been roomates for the last two years! He will always make you put on a smile, and rarely stops being goofy which quite honestly helped get me through a lot of tough times. Maybe one of the hardest working person I have met, Andrew is determined and will deliver on his word. He never backs down from a challenge, but can party hard. It has been great to know Andrew. If you want to know more about Andrew, ask him about his job and what it took to get there. Also, ask about what he likes to do in his free time, if it isn't sleeping. You will find out how crazy he actually is.
