Wedding Belles Contestants:
Samantha Bickford & Ryan Corbett
Here is our Story:
We are so excited to be married in 2025! We have a beautiful 2 year old daughter and 2 fun pups. Our life is everything I could’ve ever asked for.
Brenda Brown & Mike Pearce
Here is our story:
We met about 9 years ago in a small town bar and both had an immediate attraction. He was dared to smell my hair while I browsed the Jukebox and he did. We were not able to connect back then because of life. Several years later, we found each other both single and in the same small town bar. We again felt that instant connection. Mike went outside his comfort zone to join me at a friend’s party. We have been attached ever since. We have now been together for 6 and a half years. We have both been married and divorced before and know that this one is eternal. We share 6 children between us and 4 are now grown adults. We can’t wait to celebrate our day with all of our supportive family and friends.
Krystal Brown & Nathan Barnish
Here is our story:
We have been together for 2 years. We met through a friend, and had an instant connection! Between the 2 of us we have 5 kiddos. 4 boys and 1 girl. We also have 3 Labradors. There is never usually a dull moment at home, but we make it through the craziness together!
Halley Burnett & Jordan Peterson
Here is our Story:
Jordan and I met in 2021 after I had recently moved back to the area. My sister asked me to download a dating app to pass time and joke around. I never thought I’d actually meet the person I plan to spend forever with. After a few weeks of occasionally chatting back and forth, I finally decided to finally meet up with him. Our personalities meshed from the second we started talking. Our likes and dislikes aligned nearly perfectly. From the start, we’ve done almost everything together. We got engaged in February of 2024, on our third anniversary of dating and will be tying the knot in October.
Sierra Campbell & Michael Gleason
Here is our Story:
We met in 2020 and have two little boys who are our whole world. We plan to wed in 2025 and officially become a Gleason Party of 4!
Brittany Fair & Zach Smith
Here is our Story:
Some love stories feel like they’re destined to bloom in the sun, and ours is no different. From the moment we met through mutual friends, everything felt easy and right—like we’d known each other forever. We share a love for the outdoors, spending our happiest days hunting, fishing, or golfing under sunny skies. Whether we’re enjoying a peaceful day by the water or singing along to country music, every moment together feels special. Family and friends are at the heart of our lives, grounding us with love and laughter. As an occupational therapist, I’m passionate about helping others, while my fiancé works with dedication at FCI McKean. Together, we’ve built a life full of simple joys, shared adventures, and unwavering support. Our story is one of sunshine and love, filled with gratitude for the past and excitement for the future.
Emma Fox & Nolan Norcross
Here is our story:
Nolan and I met after graduating college and moving back home through mutual friends in the summer of 2022. Our first conversation consisted of me saying “Nolan Norcross” and he replied “who are you?” We spent several weekends together making memories and becoming great friends. We quickly became inseparable. Nolan would send me cute messages, buy me flowers, and show off his cooking skills (I think this is what got me hooked). We both were so excited for the next chapter of our lives. We started remodeling the house we were buying in March, but we hit every roadblock you could imagine when closing the deal. After months of waiting, and a puppy we bought that no one knew about, we moved in together in May. Shortly after, literally one week, our sweet Dougie was old enough to come home. Our lives are full of love and we could not be happier. Fast-forward to 2024- the weekend after Valentines Day, Nolan asked me to Marry him! BEST DAY EVER! We both know that this love will last a lifetime and we cannot wait for this next chapter.
Jasmine Freer & Evan Sanderson
Here is our Story:
We showed horses together in 4-h since we were 8-9 years old. We didn’t start talking and hanging out until our last year of high school. We have been together ever since, 4/12/21!
Cheyanne Heffner & Paul True
Here is our story:
We met online while I was finishing up my degree. After our first date we were in love. We love to travel and took many trips to Pittsburgh. During one of our trips, he took me up to Mount Washington and as we were overlooking the city, he kneeled down and proposed. We’re excited to take the next step as husband and wife this August.
Wynonna Hauck & Raymond Mast
Here is our story:
I, Wynonna, worked at Myrna’s Mercantile at the time and Raymond was on a job in our area. He frequented for what I thought was a good lunch, but also later to find out he had his eyes on me. He reached out to a mutual friend who he was working with and found out my name, reached out to me, asked me on a date and before you knew it the dates were every weekend and sometimes even on weeknights. He was traveling back and forth between Mckean County and Conneaut Lake before after 2 years of dating, took the leap. Listed his house for sale and moved to small town Smethport. In July of 2024 purchased our home. On September 21, 2024, an all around perfect day walking around the Kinzua Bridge for the fall festival and stopping by Myers Farm and buying an array of pumpkins and mums for decor on our front porch. Later that evening we wanted pictures of us in front of our new home when hidden behind a pumpkin was what would be our forever in a little box. Before I knew it he was down on one knee asking me to be his wife. We are so excited for this new chapter of our lives and our forever journey together through life!
Emily Karnes & Zachary Webster
Here is our story:
Our story of how we reconnected. Zachary and I both had turned to the fun of online dating, and we actually found each other on Facebook dating to be exact. I thought it was a joke he had hearted me and didn’t say a word. We had known each other in passing because I was friends with his little sister in school. So, I decide to message him and call him out asking if it was a joke or not. We never stopped messaging after that. We went on our first date at the Mexican restaurant where I managed to get tangled up in my purse and necklace and made a huge mess attempting to eat street tacos. Our second date I didn’t even make it all the way to the car without rolling my ankle and hurting my foot. But I manage the entire way through the Corning Museum of Glass before my foot got so swollen I couldn’t walk on it. Zachary, being the gentleman he was, helped me to the car and into the restaurant to eat. I truly thought after that I messed up enough he thought I was a walking disaster. But he didn’t, we spent as much time as we could together showing each other more and more of the things we both enjoyed. A year later when I got home from work, he was standing in his office holding a ring! He didn’t even get the words out without me, of course, opening my mouth and in the end, I of course said yes!
Vanessa Kavanagh & Scott Martin
Here is our Story:
Vanessa and Scott met while she was working at McCourt Label in 2020. It sounds cliché, but it was “love at first sight.” The budding relationship began with simple conversations each morning in the stairwell while awaiting the COVID protocol temperature checks. After several morning conversations, Vanessa asked Scott for his number via the company email system. The rest, is history. In the 5 years they have been together, they have purchased a home, 2 vehicles, impulsively brought home the best doggo, Mr. Chuck Norris Martin, a.k.a. “Goosey boy”…hosted countless get-togethers, traveled a ton, have celebrated so many beautiful moments, and have navigated life’s curveballs along the way. Scott is Vanessa’s #1 Fan, and is the most supportive band spouse, as Vinny and the Mudflaps takes her all over the area. Their love and support for one another goes unmatched, and are so excited to start their new lives together in #HolyMartinMony.
Kathleen Kontz & Brett Baldwin
Here is our story:
High school sweetheart. Been together 10 years
Taylar Mager & Tyler Eberly
Here is our Story:
Our Love Story : How We Met: Tyler and I first met through UPB and Greek life. Our friendship really took off when we rode together to the Play-bor Day softball tournament, where we played on the same team. That day was just the beginning of something special. After three months of hanging out, Tyler finally asked me out on December 7, 2021. He took me to Beefeaters for dinner, and after we ate, he officially asked me to be his girlfriend. Of course, I said yes! Favorite Things to Do Together: • Monthly date nights—whether it’s a weekend trip to Pittsburgh, playdoh and paint nights, or something spontaneous • Teaching tumbling classes together • Traveling to visit family • Going to summer concerts (Bailey Zimmerman & Tyler Hubbard) • Matching outfits—every anniversary, we get matching hoodies Our First Home : On January 31, 2024, we bought our first house! After months of searching, we found the perfect place—a home that had everything we wanted, including a big yard and a three-car garage. It had been empty for seven years, so it came with plenty of projects, but we love making it our own. The Proposal : On October 4, 2024, Tyler planned a sweet October date night. I had a rough day at school with a new student and almost didn’t want to go, but Tyler had already packed a picnic. We ate Subway at the Gilbert Reservoir, reminiscing about our favorite memories. As I stood on a rock looking out at the water, Tyler got down on one knee and asked, “Will you marry me?” My first response was, “Is this real?” Then came the easiest “Yes!” of my life. Other Special Memories: • Our first spring break together in Virginia Beach, we found the perfect happy hour spot, watched the sunset, and fed seagulls. • Bringing home our kittens, Fern and Briar—Fern was so tiny that we couldn’t leave her alone, so we went back the next day to get Briar. Now they’re inseparable, and we love watching them grow. From softball teammates to life partners, our journey has been full of laughter, adventure, and love. We can’t wait for this next chapter together
