Emma is the sister I never had (a.k.a., my cousin)! Together, we've had so many adventures traveling to Seattle, Boston, Salem, NOLA, Cherry Springs, and more! She's my partner in crime for all Halloween things related (so if you like me, you'll LOVE her). One year we even carved giant pumpkins to put on our heads! When she's not running around being the amazing boss I know she will be on my wedding day, ask her about her trips abroad, especially Ireland!
Kayla Loukas - Bridesmaid
Kayla and I have been best friends since third grade! Although I cannot remember the very first day we met, I can remember the days that followed where our parents dreaded our hangouts because we were "too loud and wild" together. Truthfully, not much has changed. If you are looking for someone to get crazy on the dancefloor with or if you want a live cover concert performance of Drake or Kendrick Lamar, find Kayla!
Emily "Ritz" Mroz - Bridesmaid
Ritz and I became friends our junior year at IUP and became roommates for our senior year! Some people (*cough, cough*, Dominic) would say they haven't been able to hear well since they met Ritz. Dom claims me and her are "louder than a jet plane taking off right next to your ear" when we are together (I guess me and my friends have a reoccurring theme). If you see Ritz, ask her to show you a picture of her bulldog, Bailey!
Hannah McCollum - Bridesmaid
Hannah and I quickly became friends after we began working together in 2022! Well, that is after we overcame our "differences"... Hannah is a lover of Christmas, but luckily, I've been able to break her into Halloween more! She even puts on Halloween music for me throughout the year! She may seem shy and quiet when you first meet her, but don't let that fool you... She'll be quoting Spongebob or singing Disney songs before you know it!
Zoë Graham - Bridesmaid
Zoë and I's friendship is actually one in a million! We matched on Bumble BFF, set up a cute little coffee date, and the rest was history! Early in our friendship, I was blessed with the images of her family dog, Pippy, who has several occupations and a tongue that doesn't fit in her mouth. Ask Zoë to see some pictures of "model Pippy" and you won't be disappointed! She's a cutie. Oh, and if you find any mini green frog figurines around the wedding venue, you know who it was!
Sabrina Amann-Ross - Content Specialist
Sabrina is our official, unofficial videographer! She will be capturing our special day for us so if you see her, please say "hello" and give her some content!
Sabrina and I have been friends since I got my job in 2019. It did not take long to become so close after working in an office as small as ours! And she has protected me from every bug that has trespassed! Sabrina is a phenomenal baker! If you want any baking recommendations or tips, seek her out!
Ben Bertan - Best Man
I met Ben when he was born in 1999. He is my oldest and youngest (and only) brother. I taught Ben everything when we were growing up. I have great memories of family game nights when I would win and we would all have a really fun time. I wouldn't have had anyone else to hang out with on family vacations. They say that the older brothers are supposed to be smarter and better looking, but that is clearly not the case for us. I think Ben may take the cake with the smarts, but not the looks. If you see Ben floating around, be sure to ask him all the nerdy money stuff like stocks, Bitcoin, and the economy (like I said, "the brains").
Jake Bruno - Groomsman
Jake is Nicole's oldest and youngest (also only) brother. I met Jake way back in 2019 when Nicole and I first started going on dates. Jake is a very distinguished gentleman. We share some of the same loves and I can always count on him to have a good conversation. When you see Jake, and if you also happen to have a passion for guns, lifting, or cyber security, strike up a good conversation with him because he is your man!
Lucas Dragovich - Groomsman
Lucas and I met when we were in the police academy. Luke envied me all throughout the academy because I could shoot at night and was crowned the master gun fighter and he was not. Luke and I share passions in NASCAR, ComicCon, and sports cards. We have only been to one NASCAR race together, but hope to continue that in the near future. If you see Luke around (you can't miss him) ask him to rattle off every NASCAR champion from 1995 to now.
Nick Gadola - Groomsman
Nick and I met when I first started at Zone 1. Nick is a heck of a gentleman and a scholar. He has an extreme passion for dino chicken nuggies, as it is the only thing he eats. He is a self proclaimed black belt in Jiu Jitsu (he still has some work to do). If you've ever had a cocktail at Tequila Cowboy, you have probably seen Nick working there. As you can see from the picture above, we are such great pals because we are award winning officers. As Nick is floating around having a great time, stop him and give him some tips on interior decorating, please, he desperately needs the help.
Matt McShane - Groomsman
Matt and I also met at Zone 1 when I started. He is such a humble, gentle soul. Matt's passions include IC Light, guns, and the outdoors. He might be the best shot I have ever seen. Matt and I have shared a few Irons together and we are going to keep doing that in the future. Matt would love to talk about anything Pittsburgh related, as he is the only groomsman that was born and raised in city limits. Flag him dahn to have chat.
