Wedding Party

Alexis Baker

Maid of Honor

Alexis and Natasha met in high school, though they were only in high school at the same time for two years they became very close friends through gymnastics and open lunch. These two travelled all the way to England together after Natasha graduated from high school and the first night decided they were going to drink every single liquor in the bar -- not a smart move. They have still remained the closest of friends even though life has made them live hours apart.

Brandon Burkhart

Best Man

Abel and Brandon met in preschool and then went on to attend kindergarten through high school together as good friends in Barnesville. In preschool their parents Mindy and Cathy were contacted and told that their sons were no longer allowed near the dollhouses at preschool because they removed all the clothes from the babydolls and the girls at school were in a panic. That was the start of a great friendship. They both went to OU as roommates and partied their asses off (and studied a little).

Layna Broomhall

Bridesmaid

Layna is Natasha's soon-to-be Sister in law! From the start, Layna has made sure Natasha felt welcome in Barnesville with the rest of the Family. And Natasha made sure Layna made it in the bars in Athens, sorry Mindy. It made us both so happy when she decided to attend OU with the two of us and were so glad she's a part of our special day!

Devin Clouse

Groomsman

Abel and Devin met at a young age as they are first cousins and their mother’s are sisters. They spent a lot of time at Devin’s house in the creek catching crawdads and making them fight each other against their will.

Megan Bedford

Bridesmaid

Megan worked with Natasha in Chicago. She was dragged to numerous Wedding events that she didn't want to go to but smiled *drank* the whole time! Meg was the start of the ML Gang along with Brit and i'm so glad we all became so close! Megan also has a nickname: Melinda, and i'm sure we'll all get to meet her tonight!

Katlin Grimes

Groomsman

Abel and Katlin met in preschool and then went to school together from elementary through high school. In middle school Katlin and his twin (Kody) moved to the same neighborhood of Tacoma as Abel and they became great friends, typically making late night campfires in the backyard and cooking whatever there was in the fridge to cook over open flame like a bunch of Neanderthals. In addition, they kept everyone in the neighborhood on their toes while ding dong ditching their front doors in the middle of the night.

Phaedra Scherl

Bridesmaid

Phaedra and Natasha have been very close friends since high school. It doesn't matter how long they go without seeing each other or talking, when they do, it's like no time has passed! They bonded quickly in high school over ceramics and studio art courses and of course, how annoying the kids at Upper Arlington were and oh so much more.

Kody Grimes

Groomsman

Abel and Kody met during preschool and went to school together from elementary through high school. After moving to Tacoma, Kody and his twin brother Katlin became good friends with Abel and they spent a lot of time playing basketball at each others houses and tormenting the neighborhood at their pleasure.

Britney Trezzo

Bridesmaid

Britney (also known as Belinda when she's had too many glasses of prosecco or tequila) worked with Natasha in Chicago. The two became very close, very quickly, having lunch with the same two people everyday will do that to you. Britney made sure I felt welcomed in Chicago and along with Megan Bedford, they made the nickname "Natalia" a thing.

Colton (Woody) Pritchard

Groomsman

Abel and Woody met in middle school when Woody moved from the nearby town of Woodsfield to Barnesville. Woody played on the same basketball team that year where he met Abel and many of the other groomsmen and became good friends with the boys of Barnesville.

Shelby Elswick

Bridesmaid

Shelby was Natasha's freshman year roommate at Ohio University. From Shelbys first beer in front of a fraternity house to blaring Kreyshawn's "Gucci Gucci" in Washington Hall, the two became the closest of friends long after their college years came to an end.

Jacob Anderson

Groomsman

Abel and Jacob met in preschool. They were friends from there on out and played many of the same sports together. In middle school they could be found making YouTube videos of themselves slam dunking a basketball on a 7 foot rim (but photoshopping it to look like it was a full ten foot). Link below

Amber Ringnalda

Bridesmaid

Amber is Natasha's Sister-in-law and the wonderful mother to baby Xander, the Handsome Ring-Barer! Amber and I have bonded over Xander's birth and have gotten close! She is a great mother and sister and I'm so glad she is a part in our special day!

Robby Ringnalda

Groomsman

Abel and Robby met when Natasha brought Abel back home to Johnstown to meet her family. Abel and Robby worked together for a little while doing carpentry where they became good friends. Robby has the tendency to have Abel consume copious amounts of alcohol at various family functions which makes Abel love family functions.

Kendall Grimes

Flower Girl

Xander Ringnalda

Ring Bearer
