Adrienne & Justin
Wedding Party
Ms. Adrienne Oglesby
Bride
As said by the groom, you know you love someone when you’re willing to step outside of your comfort zone to support their dreams and goals. Anyone who knows me knows that I always said I’d never leave North Dakota. I had a great career, great friends, owned my home, and my family was close by. But when it came time to decide whether to move, it wasn’t just about what was best for me anymore—it was about what was best for all of us. As I’ve said before, Adrienne is probably the only person on Earth for whom I would have ever considered moving out of state. Now, after nearly 8 months in Ohio, I wouldn’t change a thing. I still feel love every day, and I receive compassion, gratitude, and companionship that make every decision I made worth it—times ten.
Mr. Justin Jacobson
Groom
For Adrienne, finding Justin felt like discovering a piece of herself she never knew was missing. After stepping out of her comfort zone and following a new path guided by faith, she met Justin—who seemed to have been waiting just for her. It was as if he was crafted by God with her heart in mind, bringing healing, love, and care when she needed it most. Reflecting on their journey, Adrienne believes that everything she experienced before meeting him had a purpose, leading her to this beautiful moment. “Nothing good comes easy, and Justin is all that is good,” she says with certainty. As she prepares to take on his last name, Adrienne is excited to build a future together, one that will last for generations to come.

Mr. Shaun Jacobson

Mr. Beau Simon

And as Beau knows, if he ever needs someone to deliver a 20+ minute speech, the groom is always up for the challenge.

Mr. Michael Mcnelly
Groomsman
One of the groom’s best friends from college, is a character like no other. While they shared many classes in the same major, it’s McNelly’s quirks that truly set him apart—like sending Christmas cards featuring his gnomes, sporting an endless collection of crazy socks, and owning a staggering variety of specialty suits. He’s even made headlines for a wild story involving a cop’s dog and a questionable wardrobe choice. Just remember, it’s easy to stay on his good side—unless you mention “battle axe.”

Mr.Luke Michaelson
Groomsman
One of the few people who commanded respect—even from incarcerated men. As the groom got to know Luke, he discovered a cool and funny friend who could lighten any situation. They played on the same dart league team, where Luke often found himself carrying the team (much to the groom’s embarrassment). When not playing darts, they enjoyed hanging out at each other’s homes, sipping beer, and discussing their beloved Vikings. In a move that may seem geeky, the duo even arranged for their video game characters in Elder Scrolls to marry for strategic purposes.
