Wedding Party

MaryKate

Matron of Honor

Best friend turned family. MK has been through the thickest of thick with me, but with that came the best times of our lives. That's what happens when you've been friends with someone for over 10 years. MaryKate is the bubbly, energetic personality that I need to balance me out sometimes. MK was the person who brought me out of my shell in high school and has never let me forget who I am. It doesn't take a lot to entertain us, we've probably spent more time on the kitchen floors of our parents' homes laughing until we cry than doing anything else. MK is forever my best friend. I was her maid of honor so now it's her time to return the favor.

Sam

Best Man

Words can't describe the impact Sam has had in my life, we've known each other as long as I can remember. Growing up I always prayed for a brother and I received one. From the good times to the bad, he has always been a voice of reason and reassurance. I couldn't think of anyone else that I would have as my Best Man.

Laura

Maid of Honor

We first met in a parking lot and have now lived together for four years. She's truly a gem of a friend and I can't imagine my life without her in it. We can both be control freaks but that's why our apartment was so cute all the time. Laura is protective like a big sister - I mean it took a lot for her to come around to the idea of Bismark being in my (our) life, and she's my biggest cheerleader. Laura never lets me forget that I have more talent and brains than I think I do. She has grown to be such an important part of both mine and Bismark’s lives - it was a clear choice to make her a part of our wedding.

Riddick

Groomsman

Riddick and I have known each other for 10 years first meeting at a church youth group. That friendship grew into a brotherhood, his drive and competitiveness is something that I appreciate and he is one of the most genuine and caring individuals I have ever met.

Emily

Bridesmaid

Emily is my favorite happy hour pal. Another friend from high school, turned college roommate to life long friend. It was a clear choice to have Emily as my bridesmaid. With her big heart and terrible jokes, she'll be sure to calm my nerves of my big day.

Ernest

Groomsman

Ernest is like the big brother that I never had. Always looking out to protect and educate, his demeanor and poise transcends his age. He is willing to go above and beyond for those he cares about and has always been strong and helpful friend.

Julie

Bridesmaid

Julie and I also went to high school together, but somehow didn't bond until college - something about boys I think. Julie is the person I trust to always tell it like it is and always have your best interests at heart. She's creative, smart and can tear up any dance floor.

Edwin A-H

Groomsman

Edwin has become one of my best friends, growing up the jokes never stopped, the good times never ceased. Through our years at OSU together I knew I could always count on him for anything. He is wise beyond his years and his patience is something I envy. A role model like none other.

Emma

Bridesmaid

Emma and I (and Kelsey) all grew up in the same town but never knew each other until we happened to meet at a conference during our undergrad at Ohio State. Emma and I became fast friends and it felt like we had known each other forever.

Edwin A

Groomsman

Kelsey

Bridesmaid

Kelsey is kind of a package deal with Emma so it makes sense that she would become another important part of my life. Kelsey has the sweetest soul and brightens up any room she walks into.

Jorge

Groomsman
