Matron of Honor
“Hi my name is Liana, I’m the matron of honor. I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 6 years. I’m a full time receptionist/office manager in a hospital Physical therapy department. My favorite job is being a full time mom to my 3 girls and baby boy who should be here in time to meet you all for the the big day. Anna and I met when we were 11 at church camp, and we’ve been more like sisters ever since. Between road trips and concerts and everything in between we formed a bond I will always treasure. We are all very excited to celebrate Anna and Jeff and this special day that they will become one.”

“When Anna and I met and became this adventure duo.. we'd meet up every couple of months and go to the coast or the mountains- and we would listen to music and catch up on whatever drama was going on in our lives..I could literally write a book about how much Anna’s friendship means to me but one of the main things is just the consistency and how compassionate she is, and the joy she brings into my life.. And if I was going to surrender her to be someone else’s wifey.. I'm so glad it's to someone who loves her the best she could be loved!! 💛”

“Hi, I’m Kathryn and one of Anna’s bridesmaids. We met through Megan a few years ago and since then Anna is my plant shopping, food eating, adventure time, sun soaking friend! There is nothing like a good long chat with Anna about anything and everything in life. I’m so excited to be a part of her wedding day while she married her ideal match Jeff!”
Bridesmaid
“I have known Anna & Jeff before they were “Jeff & Anna ” and what beautiful thing it is to see their love for each other develop. I’ve already made so many memories with them, not just with Anna but with Jeff too- and I will never forget the engagement trip to the enchantments! I can’t wait to make many more with my favorite duo! 💕”
Bridesmaid
“Anna and I have been friends since college, and we worked together in a little coffee shop that made no money. We studied together to get the highest scores in class and made friends with our professors. We went on adventures and photo shoots. We have cried together and dealt with heartbreak. We’ve moved to different cities, gone on crazy road trips and even to a different country together. Mostly when I remember our friendship through the years I think of all the laughter and inside jokes! I think of how we have grown as people and women. Anna and I have even been wedding crashers before and had a blast, and I am certain we will make her wedding the best one yet! I am so proud and happy that my gorgeous friend has found the person her soul loves. Blessings to Jeff and Anna!!”

“My name is Emily, and I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Anna Banana for 15 years! Through the years she’s been my coworker, roommate, best friend, and now I get to be her bridesmaid! Anna has been by my side for some of hardest days of my life. She has one of the most loving and giving hearts and it brings me so much joy to see her truly in love. I can whole heartedly say that I an honored to share this experience with you all.”

“I’ve had the privilege of seeing Anna and Jeff’s love blossom into something beautiful. Anna and I met through a mutual love of country swing, and soon we were best dancing buddies. Jeff I also met through dancing, and it was immediately evident the amount of care and attention he gave to Anna. It has been amazing to see their friendship grow into the love they now share. I could not be happier these two found each other. Love you, Anna and Jeff!!!”
Best Man
“I first met Jeff as an incoming freshman at Medina High School and was immediately taken under Jeff’s wing throughout the days, months and years to come. Through his senior guidance, Jeff showed me the ropes of running, sports and life and always made sure to keep me on track. From all the miles of running around the Land, to watching Ohio State Football, being downtown to watch our beloved Cleveland Cavaliers win in 2016 and even dragging me out past my bedtime to watch Pop Fiction, Jeffs mentorship blossomed into a brotherhood and a life long friendship. I can’t begin to express how happy I am for my friend Jeff and fiancée Anna, and to be apart of their wedding to celebrate them on their special day! Let’s boogie down in September!!!”
Groomsman
“I am Jeff’s first younger brother and often grew up being asked, “are you the musical one?” It is true that Tom I am a full time music director and love working with all ages and playing the piano both at church and at Medina high school. Whether it’s a Disney tune or something on Broadway, I love it all. Many fond memories were made when the Bonezzi parents let Jeff and I go to NYC by ourselves somewhere in the college/high school days. All kidding aside, I am so happy that God brought Jeff and Anna into each other’s lives as they both make each other better together than they could be on their own. Now let’s tear up the dance floor and have some fun!”
Groomsman
“I am Jonathan, or as most call me, “JJ”, the youngest of the Bonezzi brothers and I admittedly act like it living life like I am always on vacation. Whether that be at my day-job as a design architect or night-job as an academic architect with a gin & tonic in hand.. architecture is a predominant theme in my life. Nevertheless, I have crafted many loving memories with Jeff from spontaneous movie nights to sharing a love for cooking in the kitchen. With a passion for travel, I am excited to share and plan many new memories with Jeff and Anna; whom I know also shares a passion for adventure. I wish the best for Jeff and Anna in this new exciting and lasting journey that they are embarking upon together. To traverse the unknown hand in hand, discovering the exciting possibilities of life.”

“Jeff and I share a lot in common, including our origin story (Oregion story). We both moved to Eugene from Ohio after graduating PT school with eyes set on advancing a professional career while enjoying the beauty of the PNW. We quickly became acquainted through the running community and then our relationship evolved to weekly runs on Wednesdays, Country dancing on Thursdays, and hiking and camping on the weekends. I am grateful (Jakeful) for the awesome outdoor adventures, conversations, and stories shared along the way. I am thrilled to be apart of Jeff and Anna’s wedding and am inspired by their passion and commitment to their goals, and relationship with each other!”
Groomsman
“Being from Brunswick, Ohio, and running in high-school for Parma Padua, I first met Jeff in the heat of battle, on the cross-country course. Later, when we were teammates in college we’d realize we ran against each other in high-school A LOT. We may have started in college as mere teammates, but we quickly became friends, roommates, and basically brothers. I’m proud to call you my friend and I would toe any starting line by your side, including on your wedding day.”
Groomsman
“I initially developed a relationship with Jeff through my brother, Mark, and a common passion for running and fitness. Throughout the years, a meaningful friendship developed through many Hinckley runs, trips to Hammers Barn & Grille (yep, BARN), Walking Dead/OSU Buckeyes watch parties (including mandatory ice cream & sweets), Grand Canyon backpacking adventures, burgers & beers and countless hangs. I am honored to be a groomsman and can't wait to celebrate Jeff & Anna in September!”

I’m from Kitchener-Waterloo, Canada where I grew up on a diet of Tim Hortons coffee, beer, and Hockey! After spending a few years in Hawaii, I moved to Oregon in an attempt to advance my career. I did have the good fortune of meeting Jeff through work. We’ve bonded over our love of IPAs, sports, and all things PT. Despite being sports rivals, Jeff and I managed to stay friends while cheering alongside each other during the Cavs and Raptors championship runs. Some of my fondest moment together include hiking Mt Thielsen, playing Settlers of Catan, witnessing Jeff dominate soccer, visiting his family in Medina, and winning a scavenger hunt. I love hiking, skiing, trail running, biking, winning board games, and spending time with the loves of my life: my girlfriend Kristen & dog Teddy.
