***How long have you known bride/groom?*** ******** - I‘ve known Ella for a little over twenty years now. ❤️ Time flies! ***How did you meet bride/groom? *** ******** - Ella was the first one I ran into at a parks and rec theater program. I remember liking her name. Things worked out from there! ***What is your favorite memory with bride/groom/both?*** ******** - It’s a tie. One is when we met at a TGI Friday’s after several years of not seeing each other since Ella’s move to Ohio. The other is from our summer theater performance of “Rumplestiltskin” when Ella’s giant, plastic nose fell off twice, and the two of us had to finish our serious scene together in front of an audience in stitches. ***What are you most looking forward to in the Dean-Lenhart wedding experience?*** ******** - Ella’s journey with Barty has been wonderful to watch, and I can’t wait to see it start anew.

***How long have you known the bride/groom?*** ******** I've known Barty for 6 years and Ella for 5 years. ***How did you meet the bride/groom?*** ******** I remember this big goofy guy coming in on his bike and being nervous as hell on his first day. We quickly bonded through our passion of computers, food, video games and just being overall nerds. I first met Ella when she was dining at Katsu-ya. Her mom and dad would frequent the bar often and were always my favorite family to wait on. ***What is your favorite memory with the bride/groom/both?*** ******** My most distinctive memory of Barty and Ella was the night he disappeared during our dungeons and dragons campaign. It was extremely cold out and snow was falling heavily. Barty currently did not have a car so I agreed to give him a ride home. Mid game, Barty excused himself to use the restroom and never returned... We tried calling and texting with no response. We tried to follow his footsteps through the snow but were unsuccessful due to the conditions. I went to bed that night seriously worried about my friend. I didn't know if he was abducted, lost or frozen to death... Thankfully when I returned to work the following day, Barty was safe. When I approached him he had this huge smile on his face. That was the moment he told me about Ella. ***What are you most looking forward to in the Dean-Lenhart wedding experience?*** ******** The thing I'm most looking forward to (besides the booze) is seeing these two begin their new lives together. I've seen both Barty and Ella grow as people and a couple over the past few years working with them. I am so happy they found one another and I am honored to be apart of their special day!

***How long have you known bride/groom?*** ******** I’ve known the bride and groom for about 4 years now ***How did you meet bride/groom? *** ******** I first met Ella at the restaurant, we were just friendly at the beginning and honestly I was a little skeptical about her but our relationship has grown tremendously over the years. She’s definitely one of my best friends. She’s effortlessly supportive, understanding, patient-because I have the worst attitude sometimes (and still she just loves me for me and that’s truly the mark of a real friend who you know loves you at your best and your worst) I think that’s what they call unconditional love; the best type of love out there. She is incredibly knowledgeable, beautiful deep inside and out, hilarious! Ella is just truly and whole heartedly the best friend anyone could ask for and I want everyone to know that she is such an incredible human being and I would stand in front of a bullet for her that’s how much I cherish and appreciate what we have together. and her asking me to stand up by her side as she binds herself to Barty, who is 100% the perfect man for her is honestly one of the most rewarding things I will do in this life time. ***What is your favorite memory with bride/groom/both?*** ******** There’s not a favorite memory with them because everyday with them is a blessing. ***What are you most looking forward to in the Dean-Lenhart wedding experience?*** ******** Being by their side on their big day 😌
