Maid of Honor
Clare is my amazing older sister. I spent most of my formative years stealing all of Clare's clothes from her closet after she left for high school and trying to be just like her. I am so inspired by the amazing woman, mother wife and human being Clare is and hope I can be half as great some day :) Clare is also the mother of my beautiful nieces - and flower girls - Maddie and Audrey!
Co-Best man
Matt is Alex's co-best man (sharing the duties with Alex's little brother Ethan). Alex and Matt have been friends since college where they studied engineering together and spent a semester in Grantham, England at Harlaxton University. Matt and Alex both work at Honda together in Columbus.
Bridesmaid
Teresa is one of my very oldest friends all the way since elementary school. I practically lived at Teresa's house all through high school and was generally considered a part of the Zuniga family (I was even given a nickname - Jacklyn!).
Co-Best man
Ethan is Alex's co-best man and little brother. Ethan is very excited to stand up with his big brother on his big day and Alex wouldn't want anyone else by his side than his best friend, Ethan.
Bridesmaid
Samantha is one of my roommates from college and fellow club lax teammate! Sam and I have been friends since freshman year of college where we attended Ohio University together and lived in Crawford Hall. I probably (definitely) wouldn't have had half as much fun and laughter (and amazing friendship) if I not become friends with Sam freshman year during lacrosse.
Groomsman
Eric is Alex's friend from college (University of Evansville). They studied engineering together and also spent a semester abroad traveling and occasionally studying at Harlaxton University in England.
Bridesmaid
Emma was my very first friend at Ohio University and her first roommate. I can't believe how lucky I got getting paired up with Emma my freshman year. By senior year, all of us roommates were fortunate that "Momma Emma" was around to cook us family meals and be our house mom.
Groomsman
Alex and Hamid met with Alex interned in Osnabruck, Germany his junior year. Thanks to Hamid, Alex made many friends during his time there. Hamid still lives in Germany and Alex has visited him many times since they first met many years ago.
Bridesmaid
Jill is also one of my roommates from college and also one of the first people I met at OU. Jill's fun loving and generous spirit is one of my favorite things about her and she can make any situation a blast with her positive and warm spirit.
Groomsman
Ahmadscha is also a friend Alex made while interning in Germany his junior year of College. Ahmadscha and Alex have stayed good friends and have been able to visit each other in both Germany and the US. Ahmadscha still lives in Germany but is excited to come see the US fir the wedding.
Bridesmaid
Danni (or Dan Dan as I like to call her) was the 4th and final roommate I had the pleasure of living with at OU. Dan and I bonded over generally being the most sober of the roomies (generally not by choice) while out for weekend (or weeknight) shennanigans. Thanks to Dan, I had my first cow milking, ATV riding and cat walking experience.
Groomsman
Dakota's is Alex's step brother since they were young! Be sure to ask Dakota for any embarrassing stories about Alex ;)
