Max is one of our best friends who knows us both as individuals and as a couple. We are thrilled to have Max’s dulcet tones and fantastic sense of humor lead the ceremony.

What do you say about a mom who’s also your built-in best friend? She’s my rock, my confidante, and the giver of endless advice, even when I’m too stubborn to take it. As one of our strongest supporters, she’s taking a special role on our big day, leading the way, petal in hand.

Ben and his dad, Jim, share a bond like no other. From a love of beer and rye to lifting and life lessons, Jim has been there every step of the way. There’s no one Ben would rather have by his side at the altar, and no better best man for the job!

Kristyn isn’t just my cousin—she’s my best friend, my ride or die, and the person I call when life gets messy. I promised years ago that she’d be my maid of honor when I got married, and now it’s my turn to keep that promise. She’s the sweetest, most loving soul, and I couldn’t imagine this day without my gorgeous, incredible bebé by my side!

James and I have been friends since 5th grade trumpet lessons, and that first note must have stuck, because we went on to spend four years in high school marching band together. Through it all, he’s been one of the funniest, most loyal friends he could ask for. Even after going to different colleges and moving to different states, James was only a text or a call away. Hannah and I are so thrilled to have him as one of the “GroomsJameses” for this occasion!

Kate is one of the brightest, most stunning souls I know—her goodness shines through in everything she does. We’ve been inseparable since Dr. Clauser’s German 251 at Ursinus, and over the years, she’s shared her incredible family with me when I felt most alone. From our love of pizza and junk food to our endless banter about the NY Giants, our bond has only grown stronger. I’m so grateful to have Kate with all of her kindness, warmth, and unwavering friendship as my bridesmaid!

When we first moved to NOVA, JD was one of the first people we met who we instantly knew was cool enough to hang out with. Since then, we’ve bonded over gym gains, TTRPGs, baked goods, and our mutual obsession with our cats. JD’s been a constant, reliable friend—always there when we need him, including when a pipe burst in our apartment on Christmas Day. We are so grateful to have him standing with us today!
