Our Wedding

Jason and I met back in 2021 before he was about to leave for almost a year-long deployment to Poland. We never made anything official, but kept in contact. We sent each other care packages back and forth until he came back home in April 2022. In April 2022 we became each other’s significant other and have been inseparable ever since! From vacations, to mini vacations, countless dinner dates, living room movie marathons, drive in dates, ice cream runs, and everything in between, we’ve been there for each other. He is my absolute bestest friend, my true soulmate. Our love will be solidified on August 23rd, 2025 and we could not be more excited!

Our Story

Kelsey has been the bride’s friend since kindergarten. They’ve been through so much together, and the bride cannot think of anybody else to fill the role. Kelsey is a selfless, reliable, compassionate, and kind friend. Anybody would be lucky to have her stand by their side on this important day!

Carley has been such a close friend to the bride for many, many years. Carley worked at North Belle Vernon Dairy Queen with the bride and their friendship only blossomed from there. From dinner dates to NYE celebrations, they’ve only shared endless laughs and good times.

Randi and the bride met back in 2017 as freshmen at California University of Pennsylvania. Randi and the bride have been best friends since! They both graduated, then after both worked for Children and Youth Services as their first careers after college. Randi is one of the most caring, most hardworking individuals the bride has ever met, and she couldn’t be more grateful to have her in her life.

Falyn and Haley have been friends for over 10 years. Falyn has always been a very close friend to Haley. Unofficially officially, Falyn lived with the bride when things weren’t so great. They’ve both been through some tough times, but Falyn has risen up and up. No matter what, Falyn is always there for the bride. She is the definition of a great friend-turned-family. No matter the distance, Falyn is always there for the bride, and who better than to be standing next to the bride on her big day.

Yep, you guessed it. Falyn and Hannah are identical twins!! (no, they probably will not be in the same dress, but wouldnt that be funny) Hannah has been such a shoulder for the bride to lean on, especially since she moved alllll the way to Texas with her Fiancée. Regardless of the distance, the bride and Hannah keep in contact. Hannah provides support, kindness, advice, and love from ways away, and the bride cannot be more grateful. You also guessed it, the bride and Hannah also worked together at NBVDQ. So many memories, so many great times, hard times, and everything in between. Haley is blessed to have her.

Tyler is the Groom’s cousin, but he is so much more than that. He’s a reliable, dependable, goofy, and loyal guy that is more of a brother than a cousin. The memories that they share are so weird and funny that nobody would really understand it except them. When it came down to asking Tyler if he would have the honor of being Jason’s best man, his response was “Duh?”

David spent some time overseas with the groom, living together for over 11 months they’ve formed an incredible bond. As they got to know each other, they started to learn that they had so many similar interests. Ever since then, the friendship has grown stronger, from being there for each other when the going got tough overseas to wreaking havoc in an outback steakhouse on drill weekends. Having David as one of the groomsmen was a no brainer.

Dallas is a close friend of the Groom. A common place to find these two is on the ice or in the locker room sharing a cold one. With one shared love - the game of hockey, they have built a great friendship. 

Dallas Scherrer

Damien is the only person the groom knows that can willingly run 2 miles in under 13 minutes. He’s also hilarious, and shared 11 months in the same room with the Groom. Needless to say, the bond between these two is one strong and weird relationship.

Brad is the cousin of Jason. Brad is a reliable, dependable, and amazing person who fits the role of his groomsmen perfectly.
