Here is a little about the people who are making our day complete...
Each of the people below have come into our life and become someone we can now never do without. These are childhood, college, and best friends from all walks of life - we are so lucky to have them join us on our big day!
Lauren Cooksey - matron of honor
Lauren is my eldest sister, the trailblazer for the 3 Wurm girls. Lauren has been the person I've always looked up to, whether it be from her successes in gymnastics all the way through D1 career at URI, or her scholastics where she continues to excel as "Dr. Barbie", the smartest and most beautiful Emergency Medicine doctor in the world. I could not imagine my day without her!
Juliette Wurm - maid of honor
Juliette is the youngest of the 3 Wurm girls, and is the most beautiful soul I know. Juliette and I have been through so much together with her trips out visiting me in Arizona, her never-ending support at entirely too many gymnastics meets, and our amazing trip to London, Germany and Scotland. I still lean on Jules for her never-ending knowledge of history, which continues to grow as she finishes her Masters in Museum Studies in D.C. So happy to have her standing by my side!
Melanie "Skinner" -
bridesmaid
Melanie is my sister from another mother. "Skinner" is in quotes as her wedding is this year in June! Best friends since day one of college, living across the hall from each other, we became roommates and managed to get in all sorts of fun with our fellow "Gymcats". Probably the most stand-out memory is traveling all over Europe together for 2+ months - never fighting once. Through thick and thin, my wedding would not be the same without her.
Ashley Stunkard -
bridesmaid
Crazy to think about, but I actually have been friends with Ashley since kindergarten! Through so many travels in life, I am so lucky to live near Ashley again in NYC. Ashley is always up for adventure and the two of us have gone on more than a few together - though you must beware of her endless desire to prank! A die-hard Penn State fan and a beautiful mother, I am so happy to have such a long time best friend in my wedding.
Devon Sundberg -
bridesmaid
Devon and I have been friends since 6th grade, and some of my best memories of high school were at Devon's house growing up in PA. Devon is incredibly sweet and thoughtful, and has some of the most slippery staircases in all of Philadelphia - Jason can attest to this ;). I am so excited to have her at my wedding!
Rachelle Fleischman -bridesmaid
Rachelle is another Arizona gymcat and has been my friend since we met our freshman year. We have some amazing stories together with our trips to Mexico, team travel, visits to LA and our recent ski trip! Rachelle is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and she and I have had a ton of great times, too many to count. Rachelle is another of my friends married 2015 - I can't believe how quickly time is flying by!
Megan Cogburn -bridesmaid
Megan and I have been friends since 6th grade, and I am incredibily lucky to have her as my friend. Megan and I have so many memories at local shows, roadtrips, handing at house with her mom making the most amazing thai food I've ever eaten, and her never ending support of me while I was competing! Now all we will need after the wedding are some blue crabs and coronas :). I am so happy we can celebrate together!
Kristin "Kassner" -bridesmaid
Kristin and I have been friends since 6th grade, and she is yet another bride this year in 2015! Kristin and I have gone through so much, and did just about everything together in high school. I have some of my best memories at Phillies games, eating cheesesteaks and being at the beach with Kristin - so glad she is part of my day!
Justin Grant -
best man
Justin is my twin brother and my "older brother" if you want to count the minutes that separate us. Justin is always someone I have looked up to. When he puts his mind to something, he is relentless in figuring out a way to get it done. Growing up, like most brothers, we didn't always see eye to eye. When it is all said and done though, I know I can count on him to be by my side before anyone else. There is a reason he is my best man and it's not just because I want to force him to give a speech, since he hates public speaking. There is no way this day would be the same without him as my best man.
Sean Masse -
groomsman
Sean and I were teammates on the USF rugby team. Not long after I started playing Rugby, Sean and I became roommates, and that is where the fun really began. I can't tell you how many times I have cried laughing at Sean, he is one of the funniest guys I know. Some of my best memories with Sean include, rugby, beer, chips, queso, chocolate milk, pizza, and creating new hit songs like "Its good when it's hot, but it sucks when it's not" which came after reheating Wendy's french fries. Sean is one of my best friends and I couldn't imagine him not being apart of this special day.
Dominick Colla - groomsman
Michael Lankford - groomsman
Dom and I played High School football together. If I ever want to have a good time, I always know I can count on Dominick. He and I have a lot in common which is why we get along so well. Everywhere I have been, Dom has come out to visit me and needless to say, we always have a great time. Dom is the life of the party but even more than that he is a great friend. I can't wait to see what is in store for the wedding day with this guy involved.
Parker Wightman - groomsman
Mike and I played high school football together. Beyond that, we have been on several intramural sports teams together as he is my go to receiver. Mike is truly one of my best friends. He and I have been very close since high school and have remained that way. One of my best memories of Mike was on his bachelor party and watching him break out his not so great dance moves in the middle of crowded dance floors. I can't wait to get this guys liquored up so I can watch him break out the "chicken-wing" at the wedding.
Justin Branca-
groomsman
Parker is a brother to me. I have known Parker since the 5th Grade and we have been best friends since. Parker was always my right hand man. He did his best to keep me out of trouble most times but I think he enjoyed watching me make a fool out of myself more. I think everyone would agree with me when I say you can always count on Parker. He is always the first guy there to pick you up and you can always count on him to sing you Happy Birthday out of tune. I am happy to have such a great friend and brother in Parker.
Justin and I go way back...I have known Justin for 15 years. He and I played highschool football together and caused even more trouble off the field on the weekends. Just like the rest of my groomsman, Justin is hilarious. He keeps me laughing from beginning to end no matter the situation. He and I have had so many good times together, some that I remember, and some that I wish I couldn't remember. I am excited to see what the weekend will have in store with this guy standing beside me.
Chris Moore -
groomsman
Chris and I worked together in Dallas. He and I immediately got along as we too have a lot in common. Chris was there from the beginning with Karin and I, and even kept it a secret while being interrogated by our boss. Chris is a member of our dance team called ABDC. Every time we go out, you can guarantee that we both will end up on the dance floor. Whenever I want to have a good time, I can count on Chris, which is why I couldn't get married without him by my side.
Daniel Bond -
groomsman
Daniel and I worked together in Dallas. Danny B has been nicknamed crazy legs for his dancing moves. He is the other member of ABDC with Chris and I. Bond was also there from the beginning with Karin and I helping to keep it a secret. Bond is a strange dude and he will be the first to tell you that. He is always having a good time and will make anyone laugh. Although he is only 5 feet tall, he has a big heart. Happy to have him be apart of the big day!
