We are blessed to have these wonderful people stand up with us on our wedding day!
The Groom's Party:
Douglas Andrew Hollinger, Best Man
There has been much controversy over when Doug and Kevin first met. It was most likely a New Apostolic Church youth activity. They have been best friends ever since. Kevin particularly enjoys Doug's endless source of (mostly) useless knowledge. Whenever Kevin has a difficult decision to make, he always turns to Doug for advice. Doug loves to spend quality time with Barbara.
Joseph Karl Orlofski, Groomsman
Joe and Kevin are cousins. They share a passion for the New York Rangers hockey team, which has bonded them over the years. Their favorite pastime is playing hockey together and taking trips to Rangers' games. In Joe's free time, he enjoys walking through revolving doors with suitcases.
Bryan Robert Tomas, Groomsman
Bryan and Kevin are also cousins. They share a love for the Yankees. As kids, they loved WWF and often went to wrestling events together with their dads and Uncle Jimmy. Bryan is famous for his Maneater Dance, which he will be performing at the wedding. Bryan is an avid bird watcher. His favorite bird to watch is the robin.
Leonard John Kolb, Groomsman
Lenny is Emilee's brother, and he and Kevin have become good friends over the past two years. Even though Lenny has thrown Kevin under the bus more than once, he has somehow redeemed himself in Kevin's sight. Over these two years, Kevin has been working hard to improve Lenny's athletic and romantic skills.
Jerry William Elsing, Jr., Groomsman
Jerry and Kevin's dads have been best friends for many years, so the two of them grew up together. Their funniest moment together was when little Jerry made a Superbowl sign reading "FALCONS MAKE THOSE BRONCOS LOOK LIKE PONIES!" Kevin likes to think that he had an important part in Jerry's success in baseball by allowing him to play on his teams even though he was 4 years younger.
Raylen David Munson, Ringbearer
Raylen is the only man that Emilee finds to be more handsome than Kevin. He is Kevin & Emilee's first nephew, and will be the only person allowed to steal attention from the bride & groom.
The Bride's Party:
Renee Marie Pagel, Maid of Honor
Renee is Emilee's cousin and best friend. Their adventures in the youth group, orchestra (go flute team!) and at Pennbriar Childcare have brought them closer than they ever really needed to be. Renee and Emilee see each other at least 6 days out of a week, and Renee is unwittingly privilege to every detail of Emilee's life. But she sticks around, even at the risk of being hit in the face by 2 lbs of beaded purse.
Lauren Elise Kolb, Bridesmaid
Car rides to Penn State Behrend every day have brought Lauren and Emilee closer over the past year (Lauren provides the tunes). During these rides, Emilee often imparts her aged wisdom to younger sister Lauren, who desperately needs it. Lauren will be putting the "party" in "wedding party," as long as she doesn't try to run off with the groom.
Michele Kathleen Munson, Bridesmaid
As Emilee's oldest sister, Michele has always been an example of goodness. Ironically, they have become closer now that Michele is living in Montana. Michele is often the voice of logic for Emilee's dreamy mind. Some people think Michele and Emilee look identical; Emilee wouldn't at all mind having an identically happy marriage to Michele & Andrew's.
Kristy Lyn Orlofski, Bridesmaid
Kristy has been a new friend to Emilee over the past two years, and will soon be an even bigger part of her life as a new sister. Kristy makes Emilee feels right at home in New Jersey by making fun of her just like her sisters do :)
Emma Castello, FlowergirlEmma is Kevin's darling little cousin, and we're excited to have her as our flowergirl. Plus, she almost shares a name with the bride!

Kimberly Ann Kolb, Bridesmaid
Kim has always been a source of inspiration for Emilee--in her faith, her enthusiasm, her creativity, and her shoes. They have been the Dynamic Planning Duo for many a youth event, especially considering their opposite personality types. Kim is a pillar of strength for Emilee, who will most certainly miss their office lunches together.
