Wedding Party
Hannah Pentz
Matron of Honor
Hannah is Rachel's older sister. Even though the two are seven years apart in age, they are the bestest of friends. Rachel was beyond excited when Hannah and her husband Corey moved back to Erie in 2019. Hannah started a new career since moving to Erie as a licensed real estate agent. She also has two small kiddos Benjamin (3 years old) and Annabelle (1 years old) that keep everyone on their toes.
Devon Scheg
Best Man
Devon and Colin technically met when they were two years old at daycare, but they were also neighbors. From then on, they were best friends. Devon eventually moved to Las Vegas, but always visited Rochester because his dad was still neighbors with Colin's parents. Another way they stayed in touch was playing MANY hours of video games back in the day. Devon is now at Purdue University in Indiana getting his masters degree in engineering - which means it's much easier for the guys to see each other now.
Emily Moses
Bridesmaid
Emily is Rachel's soon-to-be sister-in-law. Emily is Colin's older sister. Emily is an amazing mom to her daughter Gabby (1 years old), a hardworking pharmacy technician, and a dog mom to Gunner and Harper. Emily lives in Rochester with her boyfriend Vinny.
Ryan Moses
Groomsman
Ryan is Colin's older brother. He introduced Colin to video games, which means he's the cause of Colin spending many late nights in front of a tv screen. Ryan is the one who started working at Target first and allowed everyone else to follow suit - each of the five members of the Moses family worked at the same Target store at various times. Ryan and his wife Caitlin are big Disney fans, and have been to Disney World several times.

Groomsman

Bridesmaid
Elizabeth is Rachel's friend (and also her brother's girlfriend). Elizabeth is a thoughtful yoga instructor, a hardworking member of the Erie Philharmonic team, and a dog mom to her small, furry companion Zoe. Shane and Elizabeth are working diligently on fixing and renovating their forever home -which takes up a majority of their free time.
Corey Pentz
Groomsman
Corey is Colin's friend and Rachel's brother in law. He has known the Loper family for most of his life so he provides valuable insight. As a dad of two he brings the dad jokes to the group - Benjamin (3 years old) and Annabelle (1 years old) keep him very busy.
Hannah Rossman

Hannah and Rachel played many sports together growing up, had endless sleepovers, laughed and joked together, and still find time to catch up as if no time has passed.

Sam Tregea
