Important Wedding Members

Scott & Angela Bolvin

Parents Of The Groom

Pretty much the best parents/In-Laws you can ask for. They grew up in Corry and were married straight out of high school. They are an example of what the American dream was supposed to be. The hard-working family. They both have done so their whole lives and are very supportive of one another. I am thankful to have them in my life and Geoff is a product of their positive examples and good morals. I could write a book on this couple but to sum it up... I am only who I have become because of their continued support in my mother's absence.

Kathleen Marie (Hagan) Larkins

Mother of the Bride

My mother has quite a story to depict her life, but the most important detail to me is her being an amazing mom. She wasn't your conventional mom by any means but that didn't stop her from filling our hearts with love and teaching us the things we needed to know for our adult lives. Kathy was born in Queens NYC but she lived in several states before bunking down in PA when she married her husband Michael Larkins. She is the mother of several children and helped raise many wayward kids. She gave them a home when they didn't have one. She gave them a mother when they needed one. And I'm thankful to have had a mother who was so easy to share because she didn't make any of us feel left out. She loved music and dancing beyond all measures. She believed in silver linings and the glass being half full; a trait she was able to pass onto me. She graduated high school in 2001 after dropping out 20 years prior. Sadly, Kathy lost her silent battle with cervical cancer on November 28, 2013. She is still with me every day and most things I have accomplished in life have been to make her proud and set a good example for my kids. Everything I know about being a good human being and living a good and honest life I learned from her. Her spirit will be with all of us on this special day!

Michael Larkins

Father of the Bride

Mike is my father. He and I didn't have much of a relationship As I was growing up. Infact our relationship has only become a friendship in the last 5 years or so. But now he is one of my very good friends and does what he can to make up for lost time. He is why I have always had such high standards when it came to care in a relationship/marriage. I watched him remain loyal to my mother even through a legal separation all the way until she passed. When she was sick, and he had moved into his own apartment he would walk across town and take care of her. That is what marriage was to him and because of that I wouldn't accept less than what I had always known. Then came Geoffery. And when we were on a short separation, he had done the same things and it was then I knew he was the same kind of man that would fit those high standards.

Amanda Johnson

Maid of Honor

Amanda and I met in 10th grade in Mr. Becker's history class. We even had the same West Coast Choppers hoodie. Honestly that was it. We just became fast friends after that and have remained close through all of the distance life has thrown at us. This amazing woman was my rock through a lot of truly hard times and I have thanked God everyday for helping her find herself again when I couldn't. It's that type of bond that just is. There is no rhyme or reason, no explanation, its just there and it's unbreakable. Amanda is an amazing mom. Truly one of the kindest people you will ever meet. She would give you the shirt off her back and in fact has done so before. She has two beautiful children Aleigha and Ezekiel. She has also helped raise many of her friends and family's children. It takes a village and this is one person you most definitely want in your village! She will be with me during one of the happiest times of my life and I am honored to call her a true friend.

Johnethan Thomson

Best Man

Johnny and Geoff met when they were young. Their mothers worked together, and they became fast friends. Growing up they have always been there for each other. Even when it was one of them doing something really dumb or reckless. Still to this day when one needs help the other is there. Only now the things they call for help about are of a more mature nature. They have one of those relationships that just clicks and is sustainably strong. Geoff is thankful for Johnny. He has remained his truest friend through life.

Grace Ann Gradler

Junior Maid Of Honor

Grace is my cousin/God daughter but she is more like a daughter/best friend. She is like me in many ways. Grace has a love for many things in life. Science and Art are two of her favorites. She is a think outside of the box type of girl, always creating something her mind comes up with. She loves dressing up and being a diva but she will also keep up with the boys and sometimes she becomes the leader of the pack. Grace goes to school at the Intermediate School in Corry and excels in a of her subjects. She graduated 4th grade with straight A's! She cheers for the Corry Rec Cheerleading Team and will go out of her way to help anyone in need! Geoff and I couldn't be more proud of the fine young woman she is becoming!!

Joseph Allen Gradler Jr.

Junior Best Man

Joe is my cousin/Godson. But he is just like my own son. He is so bright and outgoing. He excels at anything he puts his mind to. He is on both the basketball and footballs teams at Corry Middle School. He is lighthearted and loves to sing when he thinks no one is listening. He is grateful for what he gets from life and is willing to work hard for what he wants. His perception on relationships and how people should act is far beyond his 14 years on this earth. He gets good grades and is one of the funniest kids I have ever met. He has a natural talent for making people laugh.

Shanna Everret

Bridesmaid

I met Shanna in 9th grade History Class with Mrs. Tomcho. She had met a family member through her dad, and it was a conversation starter. We became friends instantly. We even became neighbors and that was the point we became inseparable. We have seen each other go through some things and had some similar childhood experiences that can be hard for some people to understand. I think that is why we bonded like we did. And why we remain bonded to this day. Shanna has ambition that i admire. She stands true to her beliefs when many people would simply let go because that would be easier. She was there for me during some of the hardest times of my teenage life. And I am so grateful to always have my sister from another mister!

Krystin Lynn Goska

Bridesmaid

We met in our teens and we just clicked. We became inseparable that whole summer and ever summer after until she moved. When I lost my mother, she showed up at my door with her bag and stayed with me for two weeks. I didn't even know she was coming. While everyone else was leaning on me she let me lean on her and I am so thankful for her presence in my life. God gave me a few real bonds in life and this is one of them. Life threw some distance between us but that bond never took a hit. We have recently reconnected on a different level and I am truly grateful. Some people are lucky to have one friend through their life but I have a few. Krystin's nickname is Shorty. loves skateboarding, photography, fishing, nature in general and she is a big old kid at heart. She has in fact helped raise her nieces and nephews. She has a huge kind heart and is someone who is just extremely loveable ❤️

Alizza is the niece of the bride. She is a wonderful free spirit who enjoys everything about living life. She is actively involved in sports and music at school. She is a fellow Harry Potter fan and all around one of the happiest girls I know. She always tries to find life's silver linings and keeps a mile on her face even when she is sad. She gets amazing grades in school, and we are forever grateful to God for blessing our family with such light! She is a one-of-a-kind young lady.

Michael Larkins (Young)

Junior Groomsman

Michael is a nephew of the Bride. He is a very kindhearted and charismatic young man. He enjoys wrestling and football. He is one of the top students at his school. He is very talkative and outgoing as well. He asks questions that make you think outside of the normal everyday loop. He has worked very hard these last few years to achieve where he is now. He has worked on managing his feelings and we couldn't be prouder of all of the progress he has made. Michael just loves the social life. When we have our catch-up calls, he is always the one on the phone the longest and never runs out of things to talk about. he is an amazing young man, and we are blessed to have him in our family.
