Angel & Gabby
Wedding Party
Shristy 💩
Maid of Honor
We bonded over being one of the few brown people in our high school 😂 different shades of brown but nonetheless minorities. We had similar “curfews” and expectations from our families which is what made us so close. We still managed to have some fun in high school and definitely followed all the rules. She introduced me to a different amazing culture and I quickly bonded and became part of the family. I love everything about my Shristy Poo Poo, I am thankful for her and meeting her in high school, she quickly became my closest friend since moving from Honduras in 8th grade. Our personalities are very similar drama free, love dancing and good music and overall family comes first no matter what. We are family and she is forever my sister I never had. I love you 🌙
Sky
Best Man
Whether its our unique names or the countless of times we would respond with the same words/sentence, to the ideas to do ridiculous things together like playing football in a torrential downpour for no reason or staying out at the MID til 4AM on a Thursday before work, and we cannot forget backpacking across Asia, Sky has been there for it all. We started as friends at OSU, then roommates, then brothers, and yet I cannot sum up how grateful for all the love you have shown over the years and the endless memories & experiences we have created. However, I look forward to you being there by my side to help create one more memory.
Natalie 💪🏾
Maid of Honor
Kent Read, Kent Write, Kent Remember what I did last night. My Kent State University roomie. We have laughed together, cried together, gotten lost together and cussed many people out together. I know that if I ever where in an uncomfortable situation or someone said something inappropriate to me Natalie would KILL for me and she has not killed but definitely threatened to. She is the strongest person yet the most giving and loving individual. Yet, another sister that I did not ask for but am blessed to have.
Michael
Groomsman
Hailing from Cincinnati, OH and one of my first (and now closest) friends at THE Ohio State University, there are not enough words to describe Mr. President of Phi Kappa Psi aka PKP, the H.N.I.C., "Da Mensah". Michael has always been an intelligent, reliable and trusting friend over the past 16 years. Whether I am seeking advice or just a conversation to catch up on life, I can always count on Michael to be there.
Britney 💃🏾
Bridesmaid
Met at Sherman Williams 😆 and ever since then we have been just loud and being our true selves. She is my always down for ANYTHING and let’s just go with the flow bestie. She gets me looking right and my also 0 bulls***t type of friend. Save the drama fo yo mamma cuz ain’t nobody got time. She also has and will protect me when and if someone ever tries something. I love her to death and I’m so proud of who she is!
Neil
Groomsman
It all started with class together in Business Admin 499 that led to box races in Columbus and multiple trips to Disney World, then roommates and co-workers in Peoria, IL, to now living on the West Coast, and countless things in-between, Neil and I have grown together over the years. Neil has always been one to help get things done, and now I am excited for one more task... help get me married.
Ashley 🍹
Bridesmaid
Met this wonderful human being at Sherwin aka Sherman Williams. The first week she was there I invited her to my birthday party and quickly made her not like tequila as much, but in my defense I did not tell her to drink the WHOLE bottle of Don Julio. We have had many adventures together, some not so safe but here we are both alive and well 😂! I can always count on her to be there for me and would not trade her friendship for the world!
Chris
Groomsman
A member of #TeamLift, NSA (North Side Annex, not the security one), and many more. We crossed path at Ohio State and quickly discovered that we both hailed from Northeast Ohio. The early bond then translated into a passion for traveling to music festivals across the US, discussions into the latest tech gadgets, and fashion (primarily black-colored attire). I am lucky to have Chris as a true confidant and friend by my side.
