Our Wedding

For those of you who know Carolyn Nowland and Brenda Hug, we have to give all the credit to these fabulous ladies!! It all started May 15, 2021. Isaiah was a groomsman in a wedding. Carolyn Nowland and Brenda Hug were there and were witnessing the "amazing dancing" that Isaiah was doing! Carolyn asked Brenda if Isaiah had a girlfriend and she said he had just gotten home from the military and no, he didn't have one. Carolyn then informed Brenda that she had the "perfect fit" for him. Later that night, Carolyn messaged Gretchen and informed her that she needed to friend Isaiah Guinzy on facebook because he was a great guy and a perfect fit for her. She sent the friend request and Isaiah immediately accepted it and messaged her. Fast forward to June 9, 2021, which was our first date to the Custard Stand in Sesser. We talked non stop about anything and everything! From our favorite hobbies, to discussing our families, to what our lives have been like thus far, there wasn't much that we couldn't converse about! We later began dating on June 22, 2021! These last four years together have been nothing short of amazing! From countless adventures together across the world, to dinner and ice cream dates, to just enjoying each others company, this life we have built together is one of the most amazing! Our love for each other has grown and it definitely shows to everyone that we are with! We are very blessed with amazing friends and family to go on this new adventure with and we couldn't thank you all more!

My sister, my best friend, the one who’s been there through it all! 26 years of having the best role model I could ask for! She’s the anchor that keeps my craziness under control. She is the most selfless, caring, and kind-hearted person anyone could know. I love her endlessly! I couldn’t imagine my life without her as my BIG SISTER! 

Hannah Coleman

My high school bestie! Kate and I have had so many great memories together! We have grown so much and have been through so many stages of life together, yet our friendship has never missed a beat. From the endless Mexican dates, to watching Hocus Pocus 100000 times, days with you never get old! Thank you for being the best!

Kate Klebba

5 years of friendship, yet memories feel like a lifetime! Caitlyn and I’s friendship has been full of some of the best memories I have experienced. She is the one who I would trust my life with! Her caring personality and compassionate sole shows through to so many people! I am definitely blessed to have her as my BFF!

Caitlyn Newbury

My soon to be sister in law! From the first day we met, Kyleigh has made me feel very welcome in their family and has always included me in everything they do! She is always up for a good time! I am so lucky to have a sister in law that is also one of my best friends! I can’t wait to join this amazing family! 

Kyleigh Guinzy

Our friendship began at the most unexpected time in our lives. Our mutual friend, Caitlyn, introduced us since they were working together at the time. Ever since that day, River has been someone that has truly blessed my life with some of the best times. River has the most contagious smile and laugh. She definitely knows what being a true friend is! 

River Rosales

Growing up with Kamber has always been a highlight of my life! Being cousins can sometimes bring drama in families, but with her, there are only good memories that come to mind! Being only 1 year apart, means we have grown up together in all stages of our life thus far! In my eyes, she is more of a sister to me! The cousin love that we have is unmatchable! 

Kamber Pyszka

We have had the pleasure of watching Jolie Rae grow up into her own personality! She is a spit ball of fire yet has the sweetest side to her! She is also so independent and fearless! Jolie has such a bright personality that shines through for everyone to see!

Jolie Novak

We have enjoyed getting to watch Felix grow into his curious little self! He is so energetic and always exploring new things with his brother, Remus! Felix definitely has a larger than life personality for his age and we love watching him grow!

Felix Almaroad

Quayd and I have been best friends since birth. We have spent nearly our whole lives enjoying sleepovers as kids, to four wheeler wrecks, to starting a business together. There hasn't been a dull moment between us. For five years of our lives, we went our separate ways when we joined the military. Once we were both back home, we picked up right where we left off! I am very fortunate to have him as a great buddy of mine!

Quayd Novak

Hunter is one of my best friends that I met later in life, but he has turned into a life long friend and hunting partner. We probably share more exciting hunting experiences together then most people will ever experience in their lives! He was the high school quarter back and I was the center. It would be hard not to become great friends!

Hunter Cooper

Tannyr was one of the very first friends I had in life, actually before Quayd was even born. We have known each other our whole lives and have been good friends through all the years. He is a guy you can always count on to be there with just one phone call! I have been fortunate to have him as a good friend!

Tannyr Novak

JoJo is definitely the wild card in the friend group! He will do anything for you and I couldn't ask for a better friend. However, you never know where you may find him. It may include finding him asleep on your lawn mower at 3am in your garage! I am very fortunate!

JoJo Blumenstock

Josh and JoJo kind of come as a pair, as the are twins believe it or not! Josh is a little more mellow. I couldn't ask for a better friend even if he doesn't know how to wire a GFCI outlet.... I am very fortunate!

Josh Blumenstock

In high school, Cody and I became closer and closer. Freshman year to senior year, there weren't many nights or weekends that I wasn't asleep on his couch or basement floor. I couldn't ask for a better friend and can count on him being there if needed in the snap of a finger. I have been blessed with his friendship!

Cody Rhine

Nick, what a guy. He was the friend that always held me accountable in the weight room through high school. He is also the friend that will punch you to sleep if you've had a little too much to drink. No matter what, he as always been a friend I can count on. I am very fortunate to have him as a good friend in my life!

Nick Wolf

Joe was my neighbor for many many years of my life. His mom watched me while growing up. We spent countless days together hanging out. He is the friend you can count on to answer at 3am when you are stuck in a ditch. He is one heck of a guy and an even better friend!

Joe Liggett

Blair is my future brother in law. He is married to Hannah, Gretchen's sister. We have known each other the shortest amount of time, yet it seems like years. He is the one who I can count on to buy over  priced cigars and drink "surprises" from the bartender all day on a foreign beach with me ! He has become a great friend of mine!

Blair Coleman

Joseph is one of Gretchen's cousins. He can seem like a pretty quiet guy, but once you get to know  him, he's like the life of the party! I couldn't ask for a better soon to be cousin of my own, even if he does have a nicer truck than me! I have been fortunate enough to get to know him over the last few years of being in the family!
