Wedding Party
Joey Felix
Man of Honor
While being one of my least favorite people on the planet, Joey also doubles as my best friend. Being only 15 months apart, we have walked through life together from day one (at least my day one). Throughout our time growing up together, it really depended on the year if we were best friends or mortal enemies. I am very happy to say that he has turned into my full-time best friend as we settled into adult hood. I wouldn't rather have anyone else by my side on my wedding day.
Madelyn Strahan
Bridesmaid
I met Madelyn in 4th grade, when I moved to the Lakota school district, and our homeroom teacher told her to ask me to sit with her and her friends at lunch. Since then, she has moved 2,164 miles away from me, but we still remain the best of friends. Madelyn is someone who I know, whenever I do see her again, nothing will have changed. We will still be the same energetic, immature, giggly children together that we were 15 years ago.
Morgan Wachendorf
Bridesmaid
Morgan and I have a weird history. We played against eachother in the same conference in high school - didn't know each other. Then we played against each other as RIVALS in college - still didn't know each other. We met at The Plex (of all places), she in her CalU shirt, and I in my Slippery Rock shirt. Since then, we have been through the best of times and the worst of times together. She is one of those people who I can count on for anything and everything... Including the invitation to be the assistant coach at whatever high school she coaches at next and a request to be a sub every Friday night that they are missing a girl.
Elizabeth Tamayo
Bridesmaid
Liz was put into my life originally for competition, to see who was the fastest on our junior high basketball team... She always was. We then grew into great friends through high school soccer. We would frequently have scary movie nights, where Liz would sit in the bathroom while the rest of us watched the movie. (Just kidding, that only happened a couple of times). I really don't remember much about high school without Liz being there, though. We ran around the city, exploring new places, and only sometimes getting into trouble. We spent countless nights playing games, talking and laughing until the night turned into day.
Katelyn Matthews
Bridesmaid
Katelyn started out as a friend of a friend. We literally referred to each other as "Rhi's friend" because we didn't know each other's names. Until one day we crossed paths , drunk in college, learned each other's names, and still didn't talk to each other when we sat side by side in Chemisty lab. It's okay though, because that all came to an end very quickly when we became actual friends on St. Patty's day and spent nearly every day together from that point until we graduated college. She even planned her Fall semester class schedule around my soccer game schedule to be sure she could make it to as many games as possible. Outside of my parents, she was always my biggest fan. Kate is one of those people who would drop anything and everything for a friend - and she still does to this day, even though we live hundreds of miles apart. We just, unfortunately, can't drop everything to go on spontaneous adventures like we used to.
Megan Lloyd
Bridesmaid
My forever roomie. Apartment 124 was where we lived together for three years. In these three years we learned and we grew and we became the people who we are today. I wouldn't have rather scared anyone else every single time they walked out of the hallway into the living room. While she kept me in line and made sure I was remaining responsible, I was pulling her out of her bedroom desk chair to go to the bar on a Tuesday night. We balanced each other well, and we had the absolute best times doing the most random things - like playing Wii sports for 8 hours straight because the soccer season was over and we didn't have anything better to do.
Erin Dunton
Bridesmaid
Erin truly is one of a kind. You wouldn't understand unless should knew her. She always knows she right things to say, and she is always unconditionally supportive of the people who she cares about. We have been friends since highschool, and she has always been like this, never once making me feel like I'm less than perfect, even though I know I am. She truly is the epitome of a true friend. I wouldn't have made it through some of the tough situations that I have in life without her by my side - which is why she will also be by my side on my wedding day.
Katie Felix
Bridesmaid
While technically being my sister-in-law, I really consider her my true sister. I couldn't have picked a better person to have as a sister... I mean to marry my brother. I really can't remember my life before her. She is the first person I go to with problems because I know she will be there through thick and thin. She is the first person I ask an opinion from because I know she will tell me when I'm being irrational. She is the first person I go to for advice because I know she will always have my best interest in mind. While not blood, she couldn't be a better fit, stepping into the role of the sister I never had.
Breanna (Rucker) Turner
Best Woman
Breanna Marie (Rucker) Turner..... Since the moment I was born or I guess from the time my parents told Breanna I was about to enter the world as her little brother, she began to take form! Breanna loved being the oldest, she was in charge and she ran the show! I never liked her because she was moms right-hand gal! So Bre would scold me, punish me, yell at me, make me cry, but most of all she always loved me and supported me. Years go by and she does it still with a twist of an ear here, or a "stop talking the lyrics, sing them or be quiet!" there. She does it because she cares and loves unconditionally, she is a great friend, the best sister, an awesome basketball coach, an amazing nurse, a great mom-substitute, and overall wonderful person! No better person to fill this role! My sister Breanna Marie (Rucker) Turner, Our, Best Woman!
Joshua Lawrence
Groomsman
Josh is one of my very few day 1's! We met at Moeller, where we both experienced similar obstacles, and played the greatest sport ever together! Through all the years between then and now we have remained very close and I am very honored to have him as a friend and even more so as a brother!
Ronnie Dawson
Groomsman
Ron "Ronnie" Dawson, great guy! I've know Ron for 4 years and the rest was history! We started hanging out once we started working together, then introduced our better halves to each other. We just always got along and so do our ladies! Great friends are hard to come by so I'll be hanging on to this one!
Willie Mueller
Groomsman
Willie James, my first brother... literally! We've been through alot together, but remain close through it all! Hate ranking it, but he's my third best friend (Andi 1st, Bre 2nd) but love him immensely!
Wil Frye
Groomsman
He is the true middle sibling, very well know for his curly hair and his elaborate explanations to everyday life! I've know Wil since my first moments in Ohio. Being thrown into a new home with a new kid, my brother (Wil) when i frist moved here was definitely an adjustment. We started off as strangers and unsure of each other, but through it all we became great friends in addition to being my brother!
Jordan Rucker
Groomsman
Jordan, is easily the most all-around talented kid I know! He can talk with and to anyone, he can run on a court or field with anyone, he was the first kid to truly show me big things come in small packages! He is an amazing human being, whether he knows it or not. He's unique and he's my brother. One of my guys always!
Adam Rucker
Groomsman
AP! The youngest, the funniest, the brightest (by far), and the most chill of us Rucker/Frye gang! He's our little baby and we all love him like it! Adam will do some great things in the coming years and I can't wait to watch him grow! Last but not the least by any means! My little man!
