Who is Eric Bock? I’ve once been compared to the Dos Equis spokesman as the most interesting man in the world and to be honest it’s kind of flattering. I am the #1 groomsman but also #1 in your hearts! Mike and I have know each other for every bit of 23 years. We both went to New Brighton, played sports together and also were involved in the fire service. A few years ago Mike decided to come to the “dark side” and join New Brighton Fire Department. The rest is history… over the past few years we’ve gone to countless fires (up in the guts), shared lots of laughs, drank lots of beers and smoked countless cigars. I am honored to stand by Mikes side while he marries his best friend.
Jackie Bock - Matron of Honor
Victoria and I first met at one of the many get togethers at Mike’s house. We quickly became best friends; from Thursday night girl time at Shelly’s house, to our many adventures, to purse BINGO! Victoria is someone I can always count on and I can’t wait to celebrate her on her special day!
Vivian Hutchison - Junior bridesmaid
I'm Vivian! Some of my favorite things to do are gymnastics, ride horses, going to youth group and annoy my big brother! In the beginning, it was just me and my mom. My dad has welcomed both of us and completed our family. Even though he likes to joke around a lot, I know he loves me just like my mom. I can't wait till mom and dad get married!
Brett Chufe - Junior groomsman
I’m the 15 year old in the house who has an awesome dad while gaining a pretty cool bonus mom, and at times an annoying little sister! Some of my hobbies include gaming, being involved in the youth group and last year I started serving my community as a fireman with my dad! My dad’s always been the one person I could rely on. Dad wasn’t always happy but he made sure I was. It’s great to see dad smiling and happy again. I’m excited for our family endeavors in the future..
Lauren Roth - Bridesmaid
Hello! My name is Lauren. Vicki and I go way back to high school. She was one of the first friends I made when I moved here from New York and helped me feel at home. We have countless inside jokes and have gone on many adventures together—from terrorizing the locals on our school trip to Europe, to galavanting around Pittsburgh when we were “young and cool”, and becoming mothers around the same time to our beautiful little girls. We’ve remained friends through all these years, growing up, and ups and downs. I’m so honored that she chose me to be one of the people standing beside her on her wedding day. Vicki, you deserve nothing but happiness! Love you, girl!
Scott Mitchell - Groomsman
Mike and I met when he joined NBFD and we quickly became friends. Constantly hanging out and helping each other with everything and anything. After numerous times on the golf course laughing all day to evenings enjoying life on a back porch or around a bon fire we became family to the point that we can count on each other for anything. I’m am honored to stand by him as he and Victoria enjoy their big day.
Alayna Hendry - Bridesmaid
Alayna loves all things adventure, traveling, and interior design. She’s been friends with Vicki since good ol’ high school, being spoons in the musical 😉😂, for more than 15 years Alayna and Vicki have been great friends ❤️
Tony Marchitelli - Groomsman
Michael and I met in 2010 more than likely during a fire department training or an emergency scene yelling and screaming at each other for more hose line. Michael has been a close friend to me since but we’ve become more like family after I was in a nearly fatal vehicle accident in 2018. We’ve faced many different challenges together during our friendship and I couldn’t be more proud & grateful to be apart of his next chapter in life with Victoria.
Shelly Mitchell - Bridesmaid
Well I met Mike through the Fire department and he introduced us to Victoria . We have been close friends for many years we are like family. They have been there through my many ups and downs and I have been there for theirs too. I’m so happy for the both of them and only wish them many many years together. Love you guys!!❤️
Travis Cavanaugh - Groomsman
Mike and I met each other when he was part of the “good side” fire department. After we met it was a bromance in the making. Whether it be texting each other everyday till 3am or having multiple cigars together, we became best friends. I can’t wait to stand by Mike’s side and seeing him marrying his true love.
Jessica Metcalf - Bridesmaid
I know Vicki from high school. I have many fond memories of hanging out at her house which quickly became a second home for me. Vicki is a close friend who I can always count on to make me laugh or listen to my troubles. I’m so very happy to be apart of the wedding! We’re going to have an amazing time!
Harry (Bubba) Girting - Groomsman
Mike and I became friends sometime in elementary school. Since then, we have done everything from playing sports, to fighting fires, to just hanging around a camp fire together. It was a privilege to have him stand with me at my own wedding, and I am honored to be standing with him at his wedding.
Beth Stedila - Bridesmaid
Beth and Victoria met through Michael as he is in the fire department with Beth’s husband Paul. She works full time, has two children and is a full time student. She is excited to be a part of Michael and Victoria’s journey.
Adam Waxler - Groomsman
Mike and I have been friends since school and never lost touch doing things together for the fire department, a night on the town or just sitting around talking with a good cigar, I'm happy to get to stand by him on his big day
