Our Story

Photos

Although Ethan and Brian never had any elementary school classes together, the two became best friends by high school and are now forever inseparable. A graduate of NJIT, the two continue to see one another, whether it is a beer fest, birthday shenanigans, or Brian's annual New Year's Eve festivities and wow everyone around with their inappropriate jokes. Ethan is the one friend always up for a challenge, and can always be relied on to be the one to "take off" when good times are flowing.

Ethan

A native of Frelinghuysen Township, James and Brian did not meet until North Warren Regional when the school merged several townships. Initially, Brian could not stand the wise-cracking smart aleck with the slick back hair, but the two quickly bonded over their love for the Giants and the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.  The Will to Brian's DJ Jazzy Jeff, James is the friend that can timely quote any movie when the mood strikes, and be relied on to either smack talk you or go to war with you.

James

Donald moved to Blairstown after Brian had moved to Knowlton, but the two met when they joined a travel soccer team in the area. Known for his dry humor and sarcasm fueled by his love for Arrested Development, Donald, a graduate from TCNJ and Penn State, is a loyal friend who can dish out the brutal honesty when needed the most. One of the Brian's first friends to meet Steph,  Donald affirmed Steph was worth keeping around after their debate over whether TCNJ or Stockton had a better cross country team.

One of Brian's oldest friends, Nick and Brian met in first grade when the two signed up for Cub Scouts together. Over ten years later, the two would celebrate their Eagle Scout Court of Honor together as well. A friend always there in need, Nick aided Brian in ensuring he was always first in their friends' backroad races with his soccer mom van. Lightsaber duels down the highway and plowing into snow banks, Nick and Brian embraced and endured any challenge they had together.

Nick

One of Brian's first friends when he moved to Knowlton from Blairstown, Devon and Brian connected in both personality and interests. Their shared love of soccer at both the rec and travel levels, music, video games, marching band, and Boy Scouts and all that falls within it, where one was, the other was sure to be within eyesight. An unbreakable bond fortified, the two pick up right where they left off each time they see one another.

Devon

One of the earliest friends Brian had, Adam lived just houses down the road when they lived in Blairstown. Then both moved, only to be reunited when Adam joined marching band. A creative, adjective-laden linguist, Adam needs no excuse to dish out a heartfelt, loving insult on Brian. To this day, Adam and Brian reminisce on all the marching band shenanigans that were, and keep each other up-to-date on if they've played the latest Final Fantasy game.

Adam

For all of Steph's life she has looked up to her big brother. He taught her how to ride a bike, drive a car and navigate the ups and downs of growing up. As children, John knew exactly how to push Steph's buttons, and he was relentless.  Now as adults, he still knows how to test her patience and sufferance.  Steph knows now that regardless of all the teasing  and joking John will always have her back.  They have been there for each other regardless of what life has thrown at them; celebrating the highs and confiding with each other during the lows - Steph wouldn't be able to get married without her brother by her side. 
"The greatest gift our parents gave us was each other"

Stephanie and Julia became best friends shortly after their first day of kindergarten. For the next 18 years they were inseparable for the most part, often being confused for twins and referred to as "Giggles 1" and "Giggles 2".  As they've gotten older, life has taken them in separate directions however their friendship has never diminished despite time and distance.  They grew up side by side, their roots entangled, knowing that no matter where life takes them, they will always be there for each other. 

Julia Ward

Cait and Steph met 3 days before their first day of Physical Therapy school in 2015. They instantly became great friends and shortly realized that the universe had conspired for them to meet each other when they needed each other the most. The next 3 years were filled with endless memoires which they still reminisce about today.  

Caitlin Lemire

Roommates and running partners from Stockton, Cait welcomed Steph on to the team as soon as they met. Their time together consisted of many miles run, and just as many episodes of "The Office" watched.  Now, they share their stories of rehab, both occupational and physical therapy, while still watching many episodes of "The Office". 

Caitlyn Kocsak

She may claim middle child syndrome, but Brian and Elizabeth initially had their differences. Life eventually moved them further apart and across the country, yet as time passed, the two became closer. Elizabeth always is available when needed, is a sounding board for when one needs to just let it all out, and offers some of the most level-headed, reasonable advice one could need. But even so, Brian likes to send Elizabeth vinyls every now and then of loud and annoying Linkin Park music for her to listen to so she can remember the how much they used to irritate one another back in high school.

Elizabeth Werner-Snow

From several Linkin Park concerts to Dane Cook, Jeff Dunham, and Gabriel Iglesias comedy shows. From working together for Aunt Jeanne at the Runway Café to graduating college and working in the public sector together. Erin and Brian always had their share of inside jokes and unwritten rules. Even when one would leave the other scratching their head, both always supported each other through thick and thin.

Erin Neumann

JP and Uncle Brian share their love for Sonic the Hedgehog, Transformers, and Power Rangers. Despite all that, however, JP still says Aunt Steph is his favorite. If making JP the ringbearer won't make Uncle Brian the favorite, what will?

John Paul "JP" Snow

Uncle Brian was lucky enough to be there when Cora was born,  and was even luckier to get to hold her that very first day. Cora is as full of energy as her pet dog Willow, especially when watching her favorite show Bluey. Quite the mature, intelligent young lady, Cora will be helping her cousin Kenzie down the aisle as flower girls.

Cora Neumann

Loud and full of energy, Kenzie knows she can steal the spotlight on any occasion. And she plans to do just that before her future Aunt Steph walks down the aisle.
