Our Wedding

In a land not so very far away there lived a young man residing in a quaint village known as King of Prussia. Michael Gordon was living his life as every young dashing actuary ought. His days were spent on Excel and his nights … were often also spent on Excel all told. The man had many uses for such an application, including his fanatical love for his favorite jousting team, the Eagles. And though that fanatical love sustained him, his life full of joy, he had no idea how it was about to change…	Follow the magical turnpike toll roads, pay the trolls, and you’ll find yourself across the kingdom and into the even smaller village of Macungie. There lived a young woman named Hannah Maehrer who spent most of her days entertaining young children and delighting in it while she pursued her big dreams. With several knights in her family she was not one to suffer fools lightly and though she wrote tales of romance and bravery she often found herself waiting. For what? She did not know, at least not then…	In time, the two would find each other’s portraits in the magical crystal ball and with a private hope, Michael sent Hannah his first letter. It was in that first message and then upon their first meeting that Hannah knew exactly what she had been waiting for, or rather, who. From that first moment onward Hannah knew what had just happened. She’d just met the love of her life. And all the storybooks she’d read, and all the stories she’d written herself, she found would never compare to the real thing. After several happy years together Michael found his courage upon on knee—as any respectable knight would—and asked for Hannah’s hand. She happily accepted and with a smile upon her face, and a fondness in her heart, thought to herself… 	I knew it, that very first day. The Beginning

Once Upon A Time…

Our Story

Photos

Hannah and I met on Booktok in early 2021 when Hannah confessed to stealing my idea for a skit and created her own. This fiasco was quickly cleared up when I replied to her message, reminding her that actually her videos were not at all like mine, and I therefore wouldn’t need to call the police. We became long distance best friends thereafter.

Stacey McEwan

Hannah and Kaven met from the good ole fashioned World Wide Web, before either were published authors and both were doing funny skits for stories they loved. Now they’re in love and meet at least once a year from across the country. They also share one brain cell, Carl. ♥️ 

Kaven Hirning

Hannah and I met almost a decade ago at Penn State when we both showed up for the first day of microbiology lab. I think she made the decision for both of us that morning that we’d be best friends, and that’s one of the best decisions I’ve passively been a part of. From that semester on, she’s been like a sister. We’ve been through rough times (microbiology) and great times (literally every other moment besides microbiology). I’m so honored to have called her my best friend for all of these years and to have grown with her through these seasons of life.

Lexi Corte

While I am technically Michael’s older brother, I have always viewed myself as more of the younger brother as he has always been more mature. I definitely wrote this blurb and did not give Michael permission to write mine for me (big mistake). Michael crushed me with a killer best man speech at my wedding so stay tuned for Andy’s revenge on Michael’s big day.

Andrew Gordon

Hannah and I met 9 years ago and our first adventure together was us trying to cover up her crashing her dad’s new car. After that I knew she would be my sister for life. Her and I have grown up together over the years and thankfully for everyone else’s sake rubbed off on each other. She showed me how to be more open to new things and I showed her how to stand up for anything she believed in. From being two young girls with bright eyes to successful young women, I couldn’t imagine a life without her by my side through everything and I cannot wait to be by her side on her wedding day! 

Ally Schilling

Hannah’s eldest brother and self-appointed voice of reason. I survived every Hannah era—yes, even that one. Works at Disney, loves a good happily-ever-after, and is thrilled Hannah found hers with Michael.

Avery Maehrer

Soon to be sisters. Huge thanks to Jake (the brother of the Bride) for unknowingly leading me to my true soulmate, Hannah. I can’t wait to be her sister forever—and I’m pretty sure she’s thrilled she’ll no longer be the only girl in the family!

Iman Qureshi

Hannah’s older brother (and obviously her favorite). Lifelong victim of Mike’s “can’t miss” parlays, which have missed every single time. Still thrilled for them—mostly because now I get a brother-in-law to blame for my betting losses.

Jake Maehrer

Cousins or best friends? Definitely both. We didn’t always know how much we’d need each other, but we do now. Hannah has been there for me through every high and low, and I’m so honored to do the same and stand by her side on her wedding day!

Katie Seese

Hannah’s favorite brother. Growing up, we had a tradition of me sleeping in her room on Christmas Eve. We both went to Penn State and every time I visited her, she would treat me to lunch. I already see Michael as a brother because we already love debating sports. He’s going to fit right in. 

Ben Maehrer

Hannah and I are soon-to-be cousins-in-law and friends. We have shared many special moments together from family trips to girls nights and our mutual love of all things Taylor Swift. She stood by my side on my special day, and now I can’t wait to stand by her side as well!

Amanda Goodge

Hannah’s cousin and long time Barbie playmate. Providing the Matron of Honor for the occasion. Also, Michael’s punching bag when talking about Titans/Eagles wide receiver trades.

Gabe Goodge

I met Hannah back in 2022 via a group chat with five other BookTokers aka The Found Family! But it wasn’t until 2024 that Hannah and I hung solo for the first time and apparently it was awesome because we’ve been attached at the hip ever since! We’ve traveled the globe together, explored new cities with each other’s families, supported each other in our careers, and bickered over who takes longer in the bathroom (me). We’ve laughed, cried, and grown to become something akin to sisters in such a short period of time. It is an honor to be a part of Hannah and Michael’s union and even lovelier to know they call their guest bedroom, “Sam’s Room”, when I’m not around. ♥️

Samantha Ferrand

Michael's best friend, long-time wingman, and short-term Penn State college roommate. Living proof that true friendship can survive even the weaponized anti-humor of the corniest dad jokes.

Tyler Joswick

From casual internet friends to life long besties, I met Hannah through TikTok! She always made me laugh and I truly thought she was so cool. One day a mutual of ours got us all together for an author interview and after that she’s been stuck with me for life! Hannah is the sun and anyone lucky to be in her gravity is truly blessed!

Amber Nicole

I have been Mike's #1 undisputed best friend since our love of advanced mathematics brought us together in the 3rd grade. Over the years, we’ve grown up together through every phase imaginable—school, big dreams, bad ideas, and everything in between. Watching Mike become the person he is today has been one of the great privileges of my life, and I couldn’t be happier to be the friend standing closest by his side as he starts this next chapter.

Greg Fernandez

Hannah and I met in 2021 being lurkers on one another’s TikTok pages… I interviewed Hannah about Assistant to the Villain for her YouTube channel where they came up with the idea for a Zoom with some of their favorite tiktokers. Thus the Found Family was born and they have spoken every day since :)

Maggie Siciliano

Mike's first domestic partner before Hannah. I missed the boat on that one... From a shared near-death experiences to friends for life, we've been through it all together!

Sam Davis

I am so glad one of our margarita nights resulted in you accepting a second date with Michael LOL!  We began as cousins, found friendship in the middle, became partners in crime, and somewhere along the way… we turned into sisters by heart. Love you Banana!

Kristen Maehrer

Mike and I have been friends since pre-school. Growing up together we always bonded over the Eagles, and then also Penn State Football once we went to college together. From my first double-date with him and Hannah, I knew they were perfect for each other. I love seeing how happy they make each other and am thrilled to be celebrating with them.

Matt Hampel

From Sippy cups to wine glasses.  From playing Barbies to being each others bridesmaids.  From reading books to writing books (though I stuck to reading them). Hannah and I got to grow up together sharing summer vacations and holidays. As the two youngest girl cousins we always gravitated to each other.  Of course as the older one I took it upon myself to teach Hannah how to shave her legs on a lovely family vacation. I’ll never forget the look of abstract horror on my Aunt’s face. Growing up with Hannah was always fun and filled with love. I’m so honored to be a part of Hannah and Michael’s big day!

Katie Coleman

I know there's some dispute about who Mike's best friend is, but I'll tell you this... Mike and I undoubtedly make up the best duo when it comes to crushing our friends in games that require getting stuff into other stuff. Which can be highlighted by where our friendship began, through a mutual friend at Penn State. While we knew each other throughout school growing up, it was weekends at PSU where Mike found me to be a keeper!

Nicholas Maestrale

Love my sister Hannah!! 

We met luckily due to the Gordon brothers and we can soon call each other officially sisters and forever friends🫶🏼😘 love you!!!! 

Ariel Gordon

One of Mike's sousaphone buddies from the Blue Band and still lucky to be good friends with Mike. He has been one of my closest friends for years, and that's a true statement because I literally stood next to him at every Penn State football game for three years straight.
