Maid of Honor
Brittany and I met through mutual friends in Atlanta and she quickly became my roommate and best friend. Our friendship was truly cemented when she allowed me to convince her to leave her job for a month to backpack Europe in 2015. Brittany is my unpaid therapist/forever roommate/travel buddy and she always has my best intentions at heart. Thank you for always being there!
Best Man
What do I even say here? TJ has been in my life since we were kids in elementary school. The fact that he's stuck around this long should say enough - but I'm very lucky to be able to count him as my best friend. And honored to have him stand by my side as my best man on our wedding day. Thanks Teej!
Bridesmaid
Although Maddi has felt like my sister for years already, things are finally becoming official (thanks Jack)! She was my saving grace while I lived in Columbus right out of college and gave me a place to stay and unlimited *As Seen On Tv* SUPREME 90 Day workouts to do - unfortunately the guaranteed ripped abs in 90 days did not follow, perhaps because of the beer fests and late nights in German Village... but I digress. I will forever be in debt to her for those months. Maddi is an incredible woman and we are so lucky to be able to have her as a part of our family.
Groomsman
Georgia water polo. I don't know what I would've done without the friends that I made through that team... This 6'4" (on a good day) sharpshooter was the first among them and even followed me to Orlando after college. Danny did almost trip me up with Meara when we first met though - she was HIGHLY suspicious when I knew how to pronounce her name before our first date!
Bridesmaid
Katherine has been by my side for over 14 years ever since we bonded over our love for our forever boyfriend, Justin Timberlake (sorry Austin). After knowing someone that long I'm not sure the amount of room this website allows can accurately sum up quite what Katherine means to me , but she is one of the most genuine and amazing people I have ever met. Simply put - everyone needs and deserves a friend like her in their life.
Groomsman
AKA Nonnies. Drawn together through struggles at a terrible apartment complex, Nolan and I have become good friends since he moved to Florida. A complete liability in cornhole and ping pong, but Meara and I were also the first to meet his son (puppy) Banks... So we forgive him. Looking forward to more great memories together.
Bridesmaid
Thank God for Envision Communications. Worst paying job we have ever had but it led us to an amazing friendship. The long days of playing candy crush and going on "conference calls" (walking around the building block 100 times) were well worth it. I don't think a day has gone by over the last 5 years that I didn't talk to Rachel at least once. She brings a permanent smile to my life and I am so lucky to have her by my side.
Groomsman
Future brother-in-law (but who needs that "in-law" part) and Ohio State fan. I'll do my best to overlook the latter as we grow closer in the years to come. I have been blown away by how accepting my future family has been over the years and honored to have Jack stand by my side. Thanks bro!
Flower Woman
My first friend and cousin. Kelsi and I had the honor of serving as flower girls for our Aunt Mary's wedding 26 years ago. Although she closed her eyes all the way down the aisle then, I know she has been practicing in anticipation of this moment of redemption. There is no one else I would trust more to lead our fur-daughter down the aisle.
Dog Bearer
A match made in heaven - Brandon and Kash - the two dingos. We knew ever since he painted that portrait of Kash (his best selling piece of artwork ever), Brandon wouldn't turn down the opportunity to walk down the aisle with him.
Flower Girl
Austin's real first love.
Ring Bearer
50% Border Collie, 50% Blue Heeler. 100% crazy.
