Our Wedding

<p data-children-count="0">While Hannah&nbsp;was born 20-some years ago&nbsp;and Shaun&nbsp;was born 30-some years ago, they have known each other for over 15 years! Hannah and her family regularly vacationed with friends in the Outer Banks. Included in the group of friends was the family of co-best man, Ryan, who grew close to Shaun during their time&nbsp;at Penn State. Fast forward to 2016&hellip;Hannah had recently graduated from college and moved to Cleveland to begin her teaching career, while Shaun was settled in Ligonier after moving from York just two years prior. They reconnected over the Labor Day holiday while attending a cookout hosted by friends. They have talked every day since, leading to their first date the next time Hannah was back in town, less than three weeks later. After two years of long-distance dating, Hannah fulfilled her teaching commitment in June of 2018 and moved home to Ligonier to be closer to Shaun and her family. The next July, while on vacation in Cancun, Shaun proposed to Hannah on the beach after a private sunset dinner. They currently live in Ligonier with their dogs, Myles and&nbsp;Gus, and their cat, Lucille, and are so excited&nbsp;to continue to love each other through all of life's ups and downs. </p>

I met&nbsp;"Hayz"&nbsp;on their first day of college. We went on to room&nbsp;together for&nbsp;3 years&nbsp;at Penn State. After&nbsp;graduating,&nbsp;Hayz moved to Anchorage -&nbsp;another long-distance relationship! -&nbsp;and took a job working in the oil industry.&nbsp;He currently lives in Houston with his wife and two kids.

Phoebe is my sister!&nbsp;She recently graduated with her JD&nbsp;from Penn State Law School and is moving to Pittsburgh to be closer to me, her favorite person (...she'll also be working at&nbsp; a firm&nbsp;in Pittsburgh as an Associate Attorney working in the medical field which is absolutely incredible and...yadda yadda... ) but mostly she'll be closer to me!!&nbsp;I admire Phoebe for her wit, her energy, and for the person she has become. I am proud of her for many reasons, least of which is that she is now a J.D. I&nbsp;am proud that she is kind, and thoughtful, and generous. She loves well and I'm lucky to be her sister.&nbsp;

Phoebe Gilmore

“Mort” showed up at my door prior to&nbsp;his junior year at Penn State – literally, he moved in next door. Upon graduation, Mort developed into a successful PGA Golf Professional before transitioning into the financial sector. He grew up and continues to live in Ligonier.

Ryan Codrick

Taryn lives in Pittsburgh and works for Amazon! Taryn has been my best friend since we were&nbsp;in diapers! We've been through a lot in those 20-something years. One thing that has never faltered is her true desire to see me happy. She will go to the ends of the earth for the ones she loves. She loves fiercely, intentionally, and freely. I'm so lucky to get to be a part of her life, until we're in diapers again. Love you, T.&nbsp;

Taryn Kramer

Emily currently works at A.I. DuPont Hospital&nbsp;for Children&nbsp;as a Speech Language Pathologist. Emily is my fabulous, wonderful, amazing cousin and friend. We are often mistaken for each other when we are with our families not only because we look alike, but because we walk alike, we talk alike...you've heard the song.&nbsp;Emily is human sunshine. She looks for the best in everyone, she makes everyones' lives more bright and full, and she's just my true soul sister.&nbsp;I love her so much.&nbsp;



Emily Clouser

Once again lucking out with new neighbors at Penn State,&nbsp;“Don” and I&nbsp;hit it off right away. Don grew up in Ligonier and, after earning his engineering degree, accepted a position at FedEx. He&nbsp;lives outside of Charlotte with his wife and son.



Chris Giesey

I met “Lloyd” through mutual friends upon moving to Ligonier. Lloyd is a man of many skills, but recently found his true calling in the financial industry. He grew up in Ligonier and still lives in the area.&nbsp;

Cameron Tobias

Lauren currently lives in&nbsp;Florida with her husband and is working as an Occupational Therapist.&nbsp;Lauren became my friend at&nbsp;Pine Springs Camp in 2011. We hit it off right away as we were in a camp with 5 people...us, and 3 boys. We had no choice but to love each other. But, Lauren makes loving her easy.&nbsp;She is steadfast, strong, and wise. I&nbsp;love this girl.&nbsp;

Lauren Fox

Clayton and I first crossed paths in 8th&nbsp;grade English class, and quickly formed a friendship by trying to outwit each other. Clayton would go on to attend the Police Academy and has been an officer for over 15 years. He lives in Maryland with his wife and son.



Clayton Wheeler

Bennett lives in Cleveland and works at the Cleveland Institute of Art as an admissions counselor.&nbsp;Bennett and I met during Teach for America in 2016. I&nbsp;was immediately drawn to Bennett because of her incredible sense of style and witty sense of humor.&nbsp;In TFA, you would very rarely see me without Bennett and our other dear friend Rachel.&nbsp;Bennett was a rock to me during a lot of difficult times.&nbsp;I&nbsp;admire her for her resilience, for her insight, and for never getting tired of catching me up on the celebrity gossip I&nbsp;miss. I love you, bb.&nbsp;

Bennett Overmyer

Keeping with the "friendly neighbor" theme,&nbsp;&nbsp;I met "Mel"&nbsp;while at Penn State.&nbsp;&nbsp;Mel also grew up in Ligonier&nbsp;and earned an engineering degree. He currently works for Under Armour and lives outside of Annapolis&nbsp;with his wife and two kids.

Jayson Mellinger

Sophia lives in Ligonier with her husband and works in local schools as an Occupational Therapist.&nbsp;I&nbsp;met Sophia&nbsp;at Cate Cummings' spin class in 2018. There was a moment at a "spin class party" where I&nbsp;turned to her and said, "I&nbsp;think we should be friends."&nbsp;And so, we were. Since then we have had many adventures. We have gone on trips, gotten several new fur babies, cooked,&nbsp;&nbsp;cried, built things, broke things, played things, and eaten A&nbsp;LOT&nbsp;of cheese.&nbsp;&nbsp;She is dependable, loving, kind, thoughtful, supportive, and so much more.&nbsp;I feel so, so lucky that I&nbsp;get to be your friend, sweet one.&nbsp;
