Jessica & Ryan
Wedding Party
Jillian Allison
Maid of Honor
"Not only is Jess the best sister I could ask for, she is one of the biggest supporters in my life. She is constantly pushing me to be better and is always there to talk, no matter where in the world she is. She’s my favorite person to be around because of her fun loving and hilarious personality. Although we are sisters and we can butt heads, having my big J with me just makes everything better."
Tim Nudds
Best Man
"The Butch Cassidy to Ryan’s Sundance Kid. Bitter rival in road running, beer brewing and Tolkien lore. Almost learnt the thriller dance together. Ryan (Pie) and I have been best buds since kindergarten, with a brief hiatus over an animal welfare issue... Pie has always been the third person in my own marriage, and I hope to be the same for him (and Jess). If my wife can’t find me, she knows I’m either with Pie, speaking to Pie, thinking about Pie or buying Pie a present."
Meredith Callan
Bridesmaid
"We’ve known each other since toddlerhood (when we were both known for our rough-and-tumble playground reputations) and have been glued at the hip from the time we were 13. Known collectively as “JessicaAndMeredith” in high school, we spent every waking hour together playing soccer, planning epic rallies on Mercy’s student council, working for Pacifica’s Parks & Recreation department, and most importantly, tearing around the Peninsula in Jessica’s red mustang, Cherry Flame. In summary, best friends forever– but even more accurately, sisters."
Danny Sykes
Groomsman
“Tall, athletic, good looking and a beard comparable with those of the gods of ancient Greece. Oh the groom, yeh... Friends since school. Idolized by Ryan ever since...(jk) Ryan has been one of my best friends for almost 17 years and the number of adventures or rather 'misadventures' we've had in that time is astounding. One of the smartest and funniest people I know."
Heally Kintz
Bridesmaid
"Jessica and I met in our magical, wild and young college years. Jessica made me laugh until I cried all throughout college. From throwing our college friend her first slumber party, to forcing me to write essays that were due within hours, to dancing to pop songs from the 90s on any given day of the week. Jessica was the best friend I could have asked for throughout college. I am so grateful to have that friendship continue into our adult years. She always sends me thoughtful packages and postcards from her travels around the world, and knows how to make me laugh even with miles between us."
Darcey Noyce
Bridesmaid
"Jess & I met while interning on a U.S. Army base in Germany in Fall 2011 - we were both fresh college grads & just wanted to see more of the world - and honestly, not grow up! :) We quickly connected through our love of travel, talking, planning trips, laughter & surviving our days at the daycare center (our senses of humor shining through whenever we had to wipe kids' butts or sing hilarious songs). We've hung out often over the years from trips between California & Iowa (my home state), meeting up in Chicago, & even Thailand in 2017. I'm so grateful for our adventures together, our years of friendship, many more memories to come."
