Our Wedding

From growing up in the same town and going to the same schools, Cory became friends with Kelsi's two older sisters. Little did they know what the future would hold...

Thank you, Facebook!

The last place she would have looked!

Filling the empty frame!

The fun continued!

Over the years, they continued to fall in love with each other having an absolute blast at all of the sporting events, concerts, vacations, parties, karaoke nights, dinner dates, weekend getaways, and down time simply enjoying each other's company at home.

He put a ring on it!

The missing piece!

This is Us!

The rest is history in the making!

Kelsi and Cory look forward to taking the next step on their journey together by becoming husband and wife before God, their family, and friends!

Kelsi and Cory quickly fell in love with the WhereHouse for their wedding venue. Get it - #HouseOfSam at the WhereHouse, see what they did there? They were hesitant when they pulled up, because hey it's a warehouse! Kelsi and Cory exchanged a glance that said, "this is it, this is where we're getting married" practically two steps into the door. The venue is so incredibly hip, modern, and different. It is a unique space that Cory and Kelsi cannot wait to share with their family and friends.

Venue

Officiant

Brian Kugler

Brian is a close friend to both Cory and Kelsi. Cory met Brian through mutual friends and Kelsi met Brian through Wescosville Social Club. Brian is a great friend and person. Kelsi and Cory are thrilled that Brian agreed to be their officiant.

Flower Girl

Sophie Rohrer

Sophie is Kelsi and Cory's niece, daughter of Kelsi's sister, Bree, and her husband Mark.

Matrons of Honor

Bree Rohrer

Bree is Kelsi's sister. They have been inseparable since day one. Bree and Kelsi both attended Bloomsburg University where they were members of the same sorority. Bree and Kelsi lived together in Hershey, PA where both of their love stories unfolded! Bree is Kelsi's Cristina Yang - they dance it out, are always there for one another, and support each other through anything and everything life throws their way.

Taylor Minnick

Taylor is Kelsi's sister. Kelsi has always looked up to Taylor as a role model. Kelsi followed in her footsteps by attending Bloomsburg University and becoming a member of Greek life. Taylor has not always liked being the oldest and first born, but Kelsi has always appreciated and is grateful to have such an incredibly strong example to follow. Taylor is level headed, the calm during a storm, and keeps Kelsi's wild side in check - not always an easy task!

Best Men

Geoff Mack

Geoff is Cory's long time best friend. They met in Middle School at the old Shimerville Recreation Center just a short time before Geoff moved down the street from Cory. From growing up a few houses away from each other, they were together all the time. Geoff's parents, Deb and Doug, regard Cory as their "Other Son". The feeling is mutual as Cory regards Geoff's parents as his 2nd mom and dad.

Bridesmaids

Kathryn Bykerk (aka Katie)

Kelsi met Katie at Bloomsburg University. It was friendship love at first sight. Katie became Kelsi's violet through the sorority, which is comparable to an aunt if a 'big' is compared to a mom. We know, sorority lingo! Katie is basically superhuman. She helped Kelsi through many a pickle and is a fantastic friend, mom, daughter, and person all around.

Sierra Hoeper (aka Buddy)

Kelsi met Sierra at Bloomsburg University. They were in the same residence hall for their freshman year. Kelsi and Sierra quickly became friends. Sierra continued to room with Kelsi through their entire undergraduate experience at Bloomsburg. Sierra has rescued Kelsi on more than one occasion saving her from the scarier aspects of Bloomsburg. We won't get into that. Kelsi is forever grateful for Sierra's friendship. Sierra is Kelsi's 'No Matter What' friend.

Jessica Fricker

Cory met Jessica through pool and thank goodness he did because Kelsi and Jessica hit it off from the first time they met agreeing that if they were stranded on an island the only thing they could survive on is cheese! Jessica is a solid friend for both Kelsi and Cory. She is there through thick and thin and always down for shenanigans.

Abigail Diaz (aka Abbie)

Abbie is Cory's right hand woman. Abbie and Cory have an incredibly strong, timeless bond. Kelsi quickly came to love and adore Abbie as well. Abbie is reliable, consistent, and always an absolute blast. Cory and Kelsi both hold tightly to Abbie's friendship. She is one of a kind!

Gabrielle Gearhart (aka Gab)

Kelsi and Cory met Gab from the Wescosville Social Club. Kelsi recognized right away that Gab was so much fun, always willing to go on an adventure and try something new. Gab keeps life interesting, is full of surprises, and is always just one phone call away for advice, perspective, or a quick laugh!

Groomsmen

David Howard (aka DH)

Cory met Dave through Dave and EJ's friendship. The two realized they also had a lot in common. Cory and Dave share a love for sports, music, poker, and red bull and vodkas, as well as many other things which helped to build their strong friendship today.

Mike Pacitti  (aka Poone)

Cory and Poone met in high school. They quickly became very close friends in school which carried through Poone's military deployments and relocation to California. They share a love for the Eagles, gaming, and sports betting.

Jeremy Beitler (aka Jer)

Cory met Jer through the APA pool league. While they played on opposing teams, they got along extremely well. Initial conversations about music and bands they liked turned into a very close friendship built around the Eagles, Chinese food, gaming, and billiards.

Jon Butz (aka Butzy)

Cory and Kelsi met Butzy at the Wescosville Social Club. The pool team that Cory played for out of the club was known to do a shot or twelve during league. Butzy asked to join in with a shot. Cory and Butzy immediately clicked. There have been many, many more shots since that first night. Shots led to a very close friendship with dinners, vacations, and nights at the club with the whole Wescosville crew.

Christopher Riga

Kelsi and Cory initially met Chris through his sister, Jessica (bridesmaid). A couple vacations, parties, and movie nights solidified what has become an awesome friendship.

Robert Gearhart Jr. (aka Bobby)

Cory and Kelsi met Bobby at the Wescosville Social Club. Cory initially got to know Bob while serving on the board at the club. Over the years, Cory and Kelsi became very close with both Bob and Gab. They appreciate having a couple in their lives with such similar shared interests. Cory and Bob's friendship became very strong over the years with campfires, vacations, and their love for the Eagles.

Dan Merritt (aka Danny)

As a young kid, Cory met Danny at the Shimerville skate park, and they also knew each other through several mutual friends. Cory considers Danny a lifelong friend who he can always count on.
