gonna get married with a little help from our friends
Bridesmaids
Kaylee Hines - Maid of Honor
Kaylee & I have been best friends since we were 5 years old! We met on our first day of Kindergarten when she invited me to play monkey-in-the-middle (because of how short I am). If “soulmate friendships” are real, she is my proof. She’s been by my side since elementary school birthday parties and will now stand by my side at my wedding.
Catherine Thomas - Maid of Honor
2 is better than 1, and I couldn’t imagine not giving Catherine the prestigious role of being the “Co-Maid of Honor”. We have been best friends since we were 9 years old and she has been the epitome of what it means to be a “ride or die” everyday since. She’s down for anything, any time of day, and is probably the best person to handle my wedding craziness!
Alexandria Piazza - Matron of Honor
Alex & I met around the same time that Sam & I met, as they have been good friends for a decade! We, too, became fast best friends! Alex loves unconditionally and is the most generous person I know. I am so blessed to have her by standing by our side!
Lex Footit - Bridesmaid
Lex is possibly the most exciting person I know. It’s never a dull moment with her in my life, and I wouldn’t want it any other way! From chaotic late night phone calls to driving across the country, we’ve survived it all. I have no doubt we will survive wedding planning together!
Sabrina Follin - Bridesmaid
Sabrina is another longtime friend of Sam who I have had the pleasure to get to know and call one of my best friends. She can read me like a book, which combined with her caring nature means she is always there to help (despite how stubborn I may be!) Both her and her fiancé are in our wedding party, and we are so thankful to have them both in our lives!
Casey Corbett - Bridesmaid
Casey is an angel on earth! She is not only one of my closest friends, but also the partner of my best friend, Alec! She is an absolute gem who from the moment we met, I knew would be like a sister to me. I am so thankful to have her gentle, caring soul by my side on my special day!
Lilly Gruber - Bridesmaid
Lilly & I go all the way back to middle school! We might just have the strangest story of how we came to be friends, and that joyful chaos is what I love so much about our bond. In high school, I was a cheerleader and she was in the band. Then, we both attended Lehigh University where I was a cheerleader and she was in the band… again! We have followed each other around for so long, I can’t wait to follow each other down the aisle on my wedding day!
Trish Strunk - Bridesmaid
Trish and Kevin are our favorite "package deal"! It has been such a blessing to be friends with another couple. They have watched Sam grow from my friend to my fiancé and have been by our side through it all. Trish is like the big sister I never knew I needed and I am so happy she will be standing by my side on our special day!
Rose Rush - Bridesmaid
Of all the things Lehigh University gave me— Rose is the best one! She has a heart of gold and the most amazing energy. Every year we spend LeLaf weekend together and it’s the absolute best time of the year. I cannot wait to party together at Wedstock!
Alec Herman - Bridesman
Alec is one of my best friends, my coffee run buddy, and the only person whose car I bother to learn about! He’s been with me through everything, good or bad, and it’s been an honor growing together and finding our perfect partners! His strength and dedication are the energy I need by my side on my special day.
Jared Willett - Bridesman
Jared and I have been best friends since the first grade! Despite spending most of the last 20 years over 500 miles apart, our friendship has remained strong. He’s been there through all of my life events, good or bad, via FaceTime. Now it’s time for him to be at the biggest event of my life— in person! His thoughtful, caring soul will be such an asset on my special day.
Groomsmen
Nicholas Molina - Best Man
Nick & Sam have been best friends for over 10 years! He introduced us, and we began to develop feelings for each other while constantly hanging out at Nick's house. His whole family embraced us as their “bonus kids” and shown us so much love. We wouldn’t be who we are or where we are without them! He has been there for every significant moment in our lives and we could not imagine anyone else to stand right by our side on our special day.
Andrew Pritchard - Groomsman
While our Thursday night shenanigans might be most famous for bringing us together, it also brought us Andy! Andy started calling Sam my “hubby” long before we had even considered getting engaged. They are best known for their karaoke skills, but I’m excited to see their dance skills at our wedding!
Matthew Follin - Groomsman
Matt is 1/3 of the “Council of Husbands”. We are so blessed to have such an amazing group of couples in our lives. Hopefully our wedding can be half as much fun as “Stroudsburg!” (If you know, you know)
Justin Minervini - Groomsman
Justin is also 1/3 of the “Council of Husbands” and the inventor of our standard of fun: “Stroudsburg?!”. I look forward to seeing the council let loose on the dance floor!
Austin Heard - Groomsman
Austin has known me for many years, and him & Sam have become fast friends! He is dating my childhood best friend, Catherine. When he isn’t busy standing next to us on our wedding day, we can all be found hanging out in our pool and talking about the planes overhead!
Kevin Rodger - Groomsman
Kevin is an OG member of our friend group born out of knowing Nick and our Thursday night shenanigans. We love having him & his girlfriend Trish in our lives! When he isn’t busy celebrating with us on our special day, you can find us all cheering him on at his wrestling matches!
Nathaniel Bartholomew - Groomsman
Nate Bart is also a founding member of our Thursday night group. He is a trivia extraordinaire— often getting the most obscure questions correct and thus securing a win for our team “Trivia Newton John”!
Mac McMaster - Groomsman
Mac is both Sam’s brother and one of his closest friends! From disc golf, to football games, to weddings— he is there for it all.
