Meredith & Jacob
Wedding Party
Jennifer Taylor
Maid of Honor
As the younger sister of the bride, Jennifer enjoys being the permanent third wheel of Mer and Jake. She loves tagging along on dates and outings with the couple. She is also the other half of Jen and Mer (the famous youtube channel). Although she isn't excited to share the maid of honor title, she is excited to be apart of (and vlog) Mer's big day!
Elliott Miller
Best Man
Jake met Elliott his first week of freshman year of college. He quickly learned that he and Elliott were cut from the same cloth and were brothers from other mothers. They spent nearly every day of college together either as dorm mates or roommates and developed a bond that will follow through life. Hours were spent building off one another’s jokes and just talking about life in general. So obviously, when thinking about who should be by his side for a life event, Jake chose Elliott to be there.
Megan Bell
Maid of Honor
Megan and Meredith have been best friends since before they could walk! They have been planning their weddings together for many years. Even though they won't be having a joint Fourth of July themed wedding, Megan is still excited to help put together Mer and Jake's special day!
Nick Darr
Groomsman
Nick and Jake have known each other since middle school but it wasn’t until early in high school that they clicked and became best friends who did everything together in and out of school. Their friendship became so significant that even their parents became best friends. While they ultimately went to different colleges they remain best friends. Nick was excited to accept the role of groomsman in the wedding.
Erika Bell
Bridesmaid
Erika and Meredith have been friends since they were in diapers (of course friends is a loose term since they didn't get along very well until junior high). Erika is ecstatic to be a part of this special day and welcome Jake into the vacation family!
Andy Glessner
Groomsman
Andy and Jake have been best friends since kindergarten and have been through thick and thin together. When they’re together the jokes don’t stop and the laughs have tears and it’s been that way for years. While they don’t see as much of one another as they’d like, they will always carry their friendship through life. In a life event like his wedding, Jake knew he wanted Andy by his side.
Vanessa Gipson
Bridesmaid
Meredith and Vanessa have known each other since preschool, unfortunately due to a ring theft incident in 1998 the relationship was rocky until ninth grade biology. After that the two have been bonding over their mutual love of eating and complaining about everyone else. Vanessa can't wait to celebrate with Mer and Jake as they finally tie the knot!
Garrett Mateljan
Groomsman
Garrett is the younger brother Jake never had. Jake’s neighborhood became his family during his childhood and the family next door always had open arms and an open door. Jake considers Garrett his brother and they’ve always acted accordingly. Garrett is grateful and excited to be apart of the groomsman on the wedding day.
Taylor Casteel
Bridesmaid
Meredith and Taylor met in junior high but didn't hit it off until 10th grade computer applications class where they bonded over yahoo answers and cheating on vocabulary tests. Ever since then they've been there for each other through thick and thin. Taylor is so happy for Mer and Jake and can't wait to party all night long with the happy couple!
Cory Kinsinger
Groomsman
Cory was also a member of Jake’s high school friend group. He spent countless hours with Jake and the rest of their group watching movies, frequenting Eat n’ Park, and just causing shenanigans in general. Cory is always good for a great laugh and a fun time. If anyone can be taller than Jen on wedding day, it just might be Cory.
Cara Berrigan
Bridesmaid
Mer and Cara have been friends ever since the universe brought them together as randomly paired roommates in their semester abroad in Dublin. What Mer didn't know at the time was that Cara and Jake had actually met the previous year when Cara approached Jake outside of the residence hall and asked if he was Mac Miller. If it weren't for Cara, there's a good chance Mer and Jake never would have met, so it's only right that she be included in this day. Cara is beyond thrilled to be apart of this day and celebrate love.
K.C. Shaulis
Groomsman
K.C. is Jake’s childhood best friend. Growing up, if you saw one of them, you definitely saw the other. K.C. and Jake spent their childhood goofing around their neighborhood together and constantly laughing while daring each other to do something sillier than the last. When thinking of making memories on his wedding day, it only seems fitting to have K.C. there by Jake’s side.
Emily Boring
Bridesmaid
Emily and Meredith first met freshman year of college when they sat next to each other in their intro to occupational therapy class. They spent the rest of college side by side (literally since they lived with each other and had all the same classes). They even managed to make it through Europe in one piece without getting lost (well, too lost anyways). Emily is thrilled to be apart of this day with Mer and Jake!
Brett Barron
Groomsman
Brett and Jake have know each other since their dads became friends in their childhood, they often hung out at family functions and picnics. It wasn’t until recently when Jake and Brett worked together for a few years that they really became close and strengthened their friendship. Now they’re best friends and talk often so Jake couldn’t find a reason not to add Brett to the groomsmen.
Jacquie Prouty
Bridesmaid
Jacquie is the older and only sister of Jake. While they may not have always been close, he has looked up to her as his positive influence for years. Jake was always tagging along with Jacquie and her friends and spent most of his teenage years just wanting to be involved with everything they did (she preferred the opposite). However, as they have both aged they have learned to look to each other for advice and support. Now they search for reasons to see each other. Jacquie was thrilled to become a part in the wedding and couldn’t be more excited to welcome Meredith into the family.
Zachary Taylor
Groomsman
Meow meow meow meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow; meow meow meow. Meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow. (Translation: As the only brother of the bride, Zack was thrilled to welcome Jake to the family. He couldn't have been happier to have someone to watch sports and play video games with. Although he doesn't say much, he is definitely excited to be apart of this day with Mer and Jake!)
Cohen Prouty
Ring Bearer
Cohen is Jake’s nephew and the son of Jacquie, though he is only 5 years old —he is full of energy and personality. Cohen is always excited to be a part of activities with “Uncle Geekob” and he is ready and waiting to bear the responsibility of ring bearer on the big day.
Natalie Prouty
Flower Girl
Natalie Sue, is the niece of Jake and the daughter of his sister, Jacquie. She may just be a lil lady yet but we can’t wait to see how she handles the duties of flower girl with grace!
Edward Taylor
Guestbook Attendent
As the youngest paternal male cousin, Edward (fondly referred to as “Teddy”) is being entrusted with a very special task on Mer and Jake’s big day. The guest book will be in safe hands.
