Wedding Party
Jacob Knecht
Best Man
I have known Jacob for a long time, way back to the early days of Pathfinders. Eventually, Jacob ended up coming to Adelphian Junior Academy (AJA) and stayed at my house every Wednesday night. Later, we were roommates in both high school and college. He has been by my side through thick and thin. He has always been a confidant and most loyal friend. Love you dude! Sorry ladies he is very taken.
Daniel Benson
Groomsman
One of my early memories of Daniel is him falling asleep under the pews at church after potluck. Followed by me punching him in the stomach and him kicking me in the leg. We were suitemates all through college and always had plenty of shenanigans. Nerf wars, urban exploration, long boarding. Let's not forget how we completely matched on twin day in high school.
Bradley Slater
Groomsman
My earliest memory of Bradley is his spindly legs walking around Camp Au Sable in his soft-shell jacket with the name SLATER in mustard color stitched on the back. We worked at camp together and really started hanging out once we were in college together. We have had so many lengthy conversations about life and cars. And now I have convinced him to come to Ohio with me!
Ryan Thomas
Groomsman
Shredding on his penny board down our dorm hall at Southern Adventist University is one of my first memories of Ryan (don't stand in between this guy and lunch at the deli). We were also roommates my junior year in college. I have never connected so well with someone so fast. He is always down for adventure - especially if it involves La Croix. We have had countless fun times together from shredding (a fancy word for longboarding) at the park to ultimate frisbee to fishing while playing golf. Thanks for being our original photographer!
David Glenn
Groomsman
I have known David for the better portion of my life. David and I go way back to the early days in middle school. We are also the founders of the legendary band Revive and Arise. We also worked together at High Adventure at Camp Au Sable. Can't forget when we slept on top of the climbing wall! David has been such positive influence in my life and I am beyond happy to have him join Kami and I on our big day!
Krista Boyd
Matron of Honor
I have always felt so blessed to have both a sister and best friend in one! Krista is my older sister and because of that, my roommate growing up in the Medina house, where many late night talks were had. Krista is funny, sweet and the saint of the family, but more than that she is a true friend. Also, she laughs at all my jokes, so of course she has to be standing right next to me on my wedding day right!?
Kandice Bird
Matron of Honor
Kandice is the oldest Medina child and because of that has been extremely influential in my life...not to mention the fact that were basically twins. She is the reason I decided to become a nurse and has shown me how to care for others in a personal way. Kandice is quirky and crazy, and the life of the party! She has a special gift of knowing how to make everyone feel special. Though she made me cry growing up, I know it was for my own good...most of the time. Love you lots sweetie!
Emily Johnson
Bridesmaid
Emily is Andrew's sweet sister and has the red hair to prove it. As soon as I met her I knew I would love to have her as a friend and sister! Emily played a major role in the proposal in December and helped Andrew in so many ways, keeping it all a secret in the process. Emily is funny and energetic, with a personality that lights up the whole room. Andrew and I both look up to her and hope to be at least half as successful as her and her husband :)
Michelle Wise
Bridesmaid
Michelle is the most loyal person we both know and has a heart of gold. Andrew knew Michelle in high school where they worked together in leadership roles, mostly consisting of Michelle playing tricks on Andrew while he was president. When Michelle first met me in college, she immediately thought that Andrew and I would go well together...did I mention she's extremely insightful? Years later, she and I were roommates in college where some of my fondest memories were made and she became a sister to me. We love you so much, Michelle!
Jo-Ann Lemon
Bridesmaid
My dear sweet Jo Jo Lemon! Though she's a Lemon, she's anything but sour. I went to high school with Jo and I would not have survived math class, social studies, English literally ANYTHING without her. Jo-Ann is currently living her best life in Australia where she is studying to become a teacher...that's how cool she is. Jo will forever be one of my best friends for her sense of humor, sweet personality, and love for those around her. I am so excited and honored to have her make the long trip to Ohio for the big day!
