Kate Jones

Maid of Honor

I met Andrea in high school band in 2004 and we’re still in band together with Capital Pride. I live in Hilliard and work in Dublin. I have a dog, Franklin and a cat Mellie. My favorite things are sleeping and snacks.

Brandon Layne

Gay of Honor

Nina and I first met during an LGBTQIA event where she quickly became my first and dearest friend at The Ohio State University. Over the past 9 years I have worked in Pediatric Healthcare, and I recently moved back to my hometown of Middletown, Ohio, where I continue to work and annoy kids with my crumby jokes and poor sense of humor. Nina has the biggest, most genuine heart and I cannot wait to see what the next adventure in life brings her.

Tina Jones

Bridesmaid

I’m a nanny, I have a hedgehog that I’m obsessed with & a garbage cat. I know Andrea because she knows my sister.

Kara Radl

Best Woman

Nina and Kara met in 2014 at The Ohio State University while working in an insect laboratory. Their friendship grew through daily chats and laughs while working together and surviving a buggy bug world. They enjoyed finding local activities and just chatting with one another outside of work. They both majored in zoology and love animals! There was never a dull, quiet moment between them. It was also later that they ironically realized they attended the same high school! They have consistently stayed friends even through different job changes and moves.

Casey Clark

Bridesman

I met Andrea 8 years ago while working for The Ohio State University. I saw her always sitting quietly at the CABS break room tables, so I decided that I had to talk to her and we were going to become best friends. At first she thought I was crazy, but soon after, our friendship was the reason why we always came to work. BT (only Andrea and I know what it means) and I could always brighten each other’s day. I couldn’t be happier for these two and be a part of their special day! Love you both!

Joe Tran

Bridesman

Nina and I go back ten years! From pestering our U.S. Government teacher together (Mench!) to piggy backs down church hallways, we quickly became best friends by sharing a penchant for all things silly and weird. I’ll  never understand Nina’s love for Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches, but I do know the love that she and Andrea share is special. Thanks for letting me be a big part of your special day, buddie! I love you both!
