Wedding Party

Hello everyone! We cannot wait to see all of y'all at the wedding! Instead of trying to sum up our relationships with our friends and families we asked each of them to come up with a quote or short message that sums up our relationships perfectly! I hope you all enjoy them as much as we do!

Jenna Rugel

Maid of Honor

Jenna & I met during our first year at FSU! We played Quidditch together & continued our friendship thanks to our love of the same music & writing! I am so thankful to have a friend like Jenna. She has the biggest heart & the kindest soul! Jenna: I'm really blessed because I've known Belle and Ben for the same amount of time and they both have always loved me unconditionally and I'm so appreciative of their friendship! Annabelle and Ben are the types of friends that can jam out to ADTR with you, sit at the dinner table and talk over a home-cooked meal with you, and curl up with good alcohol and watch even better movies with you! I am grateful for the last 5 years of friendship with these two and look forward to third-wheeling them for the rest of time. "We're with you whatever happens"

Thomas Ziviski

Best Man

"In the forth grade Ben's best friend moved across town; I was simply there to pick up the pieces. From that point on I haven't been able to get rid of him."

Virginia Blevins

Bridesmaid

Virginia is my sister! She is a spitfire, full of passion! "Sisters are best friends that God gives you."

"This is my quote, there are many like it but this one is mine. My quote is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my quote is useless, without my quote I am useless. I must say my quote true. I must quote straighter than my enemy who is trying to out quote me, I must quote him I will!"

Ashley Kinnamont

Bridesmaid

Ash is my future sister in law, though she is already my sister! "She had always wanted a brother. And she had one now. It was like always wanting a puppy and being a hellhound instead." "Older siblings - the only person who will pick on you for their own entertainment but beat up anyone else who tries."

James Kinnamont

Groomsman

You could say that I met Annabelle thinking that she was from Guilford, but in fact, she wasn't born in Guilford at all but was in fact from a small planet in the vicinity of Beetlejuice. Btw, I am married to Ben's sister!

Patrick O'Brien

Bridesman

Patch and I met while at FSU thanks to Ben's fraternity Phi Mu Alpha! We became quick friends thanks to our love of Lord of the Rings! He is the type of guy to always bring a smile to your face! "You can trust us to stick to you, through thick and thin - to the bitter end. And you can trust us to keep any secret of yours - closer than you keep it yourself. But you cannot trust us to let you face trouble alone, and go off without a word. We are your friends, Frodo."

I met Ben my freshman year at FSU. We were both bio majors & pre-med, we suffered through many late nights in the library, & the stress of getting into medical school. It's safe to say that I would not be as successful as I was in undergrad if it wasn't for Ben keeping me sane & reminding me that it would all be worth it. He's also really smart & great at explaining things. When I met Annabelle our freshman year, it was easy to see that they were meant for each other. Since Ben is one of my best & closest friends, I quickly realized how insanely weird & quirky he is. I also realized that he's one of the funniest people I've ever met & has a huge heart. And since Annabelle is one of the kindest people I've ever met, & also has a huge heart, it was easy to see that their love was fate.

What isn’t there to say about the two of you? I think that you both balance each other out in temperament and heart. Your relationship can not only be defined by your similarities but by your differences and your acceptance of each other. Your love for your own interests and each other is expounded by your time spent together and I can’t wait to see what marriage brings the two of you.

Annabelle has been one of my closest and best friends since high school. The day she introduced me to Ben, I knew she had found the Percy Jackson to her Annabeth Chase. I love them both to death and can't wait for this wedding!! -Sir Chud

"How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live ’em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give ’em.” -Shel Silverstein. Thank you for always being there Ben. I'm so happy you have such a wonderful woman like Annabelle in your life. Nothing but love for the both of you.

Emily Roberts

Bridesmaid

Annabelle is that friend that no matter how much time has passed, each time we talk we pick right back up where we left. We met freshman year of high school and our mutual love of all things nerdy solidified into a friendship that has now spanned almost a decade and over 2000 miles. Super grateful for this BBQ Babe, Jesus loving woman who is a super fantastic friend.

Ben and I met in middle school, but our friendship really blossomed (sometimes suffered, but mostly blossomed) as Science Olympiad partners in high school. Much like peanut butter and jelly, yin and yang, or pizza and beer, Ben and I need each other to balance the other out. If either one of us gets too high (let's not pretend like we aren't both prone to cockiness) or too low (let's not pretend like we aren't both prone to self-deprivation), we're there to keep each other on track. I could not be more excited to have seen my buddy meet, fall in love with, and now MARRY such a wonderful person over these last few years! "What's your favorite hobby?" "Uhh... magnets"
