My name is Heather and my friendship with Emily began our freshman year of college in our physics lab. It all started with a question, “Do you want to grab lunch after class?”, a simple inquiry that allowed us to be roommates and best friends for 9 years, and counting. I am from Pittsburgh, PA and am an Interior Designer focusing specifically on hotel design. In my spare time, you can find me at a spin class, socializing with friends, or always on the move. I cherish numerous memories with Emily, yet my favorite is when we both took a break from school to explore each others hometown’s. It was then that I was introduced to Logan. We found a shared passion for Pittsburgh sports, forming a bond that will always back our favorite teams, whether they win or lose. Before you know it, Emily and Logan will become one with Luca. I am looking forward to the countless memories I will make with the future Stoltzfus family!

Lindsay Truesdale -
My name is Lindsay and I met Emily in preschool. She has been my longest friend and I'm so excited to watch her marry someone she loves. My favorite memory with Logan and Em is probably going to Folklore coffee co or when we went to the mall pet store (lol) and then to the movies. I am currently in Acupuncture school and living in Arizona. When I'm not studying or working, I spend time being in nature or making jewlery. I am excited to be part of this event in Emily's life.

In the fifth grade I sat next to Emily, and we’ve been best buds ever since. From swim team to playing Just Dance in the living room, Em and I grew up together. We went through all the awkward stages together throughout elementary and middle school. In high school, we were on the field hockey team together and dealt with all the drama that comes with teenager-ness. Post high school graduation, we never, ever lost touch. Emily visited me a bunch of times in college and we were always ready to have fun together side by side all weekend. Emmie is family to me and always will be. I’m so happy that I’ve been able to watch her become a mama, and it means so much to me to be by her side on her wedding day. Can’t wait to celebrate!
Rachel Bendgen -
I am married to Emily’s oldest brother Cameron. Together we have a son, Sebastian and live in Harrisburg, PA. My fondest memory of Emily and Logan together was when we went on a day trip to Washington DC together and got to explore the city in 2015. Who would have thought they would be getting married after all of these years!
Kiley Stoltzfus -
Hi everyone! My name is Kiley Stoltzfus, I’m Logan’s younger sister. Emily and I first met when I was 9 years old! I instantly loved that I had finally found someone to go to Logan’s wrestling tournaments with and do the girly things that Logan didn’t want to do with me- lol. I always wanted an older sister, so as soon as Logan brought Emily home, I didn’t want to leave her side. She became part of the family immediately and fit right in with her funny personality. One of my favorite memories with Emily is when she first introduced me to field hockey, I now play at a Division 1 program- thanks Em. I loved seeing how Emily and Logan’s relationship has grown over the years. Some of my favorite memories with Emily and Logan involve watching Luca whenever they want me to and hanging out with all three of them. Becoming Luca’s aunt has been the biggest blessing!

My name is Annie Bendgen, I am Emily’s cousin (our dads are brothers). I live in Sunny South Florida and am a Mental Health Therapist. In my free time I enjoy the beach and being at the gym.

Mason Stoltzfus -
Hello my name is Mason Stoltzfus, Logan’s little brother. I’m 22 years old and I’m a steel worker! I love hunting and fishing. I also have a passion for firearms. If I’m not at work you can find me in the woods fishing some body of water or shopping the aisles of bass pro shops. I met Logan the day I came into this world, and we became brothers for life. Countless memories of shooting our BB guns, playing in the snow, building forts, and can’t forget the GI Joes! I love my brother so much. Now fast forward sometime, one day I came home and saw a pretty girl with my brother, that would be the day I met Emily. They seemed perfect for each other. My favorite moment of Logan and Emily was when I got to see them in the hospital the day Luca was born. The day they became “mom” and “dad”. I’m very proud of the both of them.
Wyatt Smith -
I’m Wyatt! Logan has been my closest friend for what feels like forever. My memories with Logan are countless, from riding our bikes all over town, spending entire summers at Hersheypark, trips to the beach, and even camping out at the mall for sneakers. Logan and I have been classmates, teammates, co-workers, and most importantly, friends. It has been great to see both Logan, and Emily grow so much together, and I am happy to be a part of their special day!

Brock Wilson -
Hey everyone my name is Brock Wilson. I met Logan back in 2019 when I started at UPS and we immediately became close friends. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t talk to Logan whether it is about making plans, just catching up, or most of the time it’s something Steeler related. In my free time I enjoy playing video games, watching sports, or hitting the gym. My favorite memory with Logan is when we went to the Steelers game against the Raiders on Christmas Eve of 2022 and drove home that night because I promised Logan he would not miss Christmas with Emily and Luca. My favorite memories with both Emily and Logan are the numerous floats down the swatara that we do every summer.
Peter Mummau -
Hello everybody, my name is Peter Mummau. I work at H.B. Reese Factory, so it is miracle I'll even be here for the wedding. When I'm not at work I like to travel around to different cities, be a cheesehead, and play basketball or golf. I met Logan through wrestling in high school then we worked at UPS and now at Reese's together. We have seen a lot of each other, however, I met Emily before Logan back in the Sea Lion Swim Club days. She may have beat me a few times but I'll never admit that. One of my favorite memories with Logan is being down at Virginia Beach for a wrestling tournament and the cops showed up at our hotel. Somehow we met up outside the hotel dodging the cops because we both thought they were after us and we weren't even on the same floor. What can I say great minds think alike.
Tommy Klock -
Hi everyone, my name is Tommy Klock. Logan and I met around 2018 working at UPS together and we’ve made many memories ever since. In my free time I love golfing, going to the gym, and watching sports. Some of my favorite memories with Logan have been at sporting events especially the Jaguars and Commanders game in DC. Another favorite memory of mine is going over to Logan and Emily’s house and tossing Luca around like spider man.
Nathan Gainey -
Hi my name is Nathan Gainey I am one of Lo's best friends. I met Logan in college for Wrestling our first year, and I wasn’t entirely sure how close we would get because of how crazy he is, but we soon became best friends. I enjoying working out and training in the gym. I met Emily through Logan and she is one of the sweetest people I have ever met in my life. They are both amazing parents. My favorite memory with Logan would have to be the time he and I went down to our buddy Dan's house and Logan climbed inside Dan's mothers sliding coffee table.
Dan Goodwin -
Hello, my name is Dan. I live in Virginia Beach and am a tree climber. In my free time I mostly just do jiu jitsu or go on outdoor adventures. I met Logan on the wrestling team at Queens University of Charlotte in 2017. My favorite memories of him are when he’s hyper and talking nonsense.
