Wedding Party
Annie Heck
Maid of Honor
Meet Annie, the Rascal Extraordinaire Annie, my best friend of four decades (since kindergarten!), is practicaly family. Our connection is deep, from sharing the same elementary school and a love for Ms. Kinney, through high school, and into the same college. Now we both live in NYC, enjoying an incredible shared friend group and a fulfilling, fun life. A Prankster and a Night Owl Annie is an absolute force of nature. If life had a volume button, Annie's would be cranked to the max. She is a prankster at heart and has always kept me on my toes. Growing up with her was like having a beautiful, slightly unpredictable weather system in your house. Adult Annie is no different. She was the mastermind behind my surprise engagement! She personifies living life fully, with a joy that’s completely infectious. I am a morning person to her night owl, but we always make it work. Cincy to NYC A true product of Cincy, Ohio, we share that deep Midwestern connection. She is our very own witness and my indispensable Maid of Honor. Annie is a leader, a constant source of inspiration, and the reason I strived to bring that same zest for life into my own days. Our stories continue to unfold, one chapter at a time. Annie, you are my oldest friend, my chosen sister, and I am so honored to have you by my side.
Rick Mina
Best Man
Rick and Jesse go all the way back to folding socks and shining shoes at Valley Forge Military Academy. Since then, they’ve shared college all-nighters, a few wrecked cars, concerts, deep dives into philosophy, history, and life. After a distinguished career as an Army Infantry Officer, Rick traded formations and field training for the classroom and the field, studying art and coaching his kids' sports teams in Rochester NY. I couldn't imagine standing up there without him.
