Wedding Party
Jordan Pilcher
Bride
While she was born in Georgia, Jordan has spent most of her life in St. Augustine, Florida. She’s never been one to stay quiet or hold back her opinions, but she’s also a grandma at heart. Growing up, she spent a lot of time in drama and chorus (partly because hand-eye coordination was never her strong suit), but she still enjoys an Alabama football game when the season rolls around. She earned her degree in Business Administration and now loves her work creating women’s wellness products that can help women around the world. Her favorite way to spend her time is enjoying cozy nights in with Ben and their dog, Paddy.
Benjamin Stevens
Groom
Ben is a tried-and-true Florida boy! Born into a family that practically bleeds orange and blue, he’s the oldest of two kids. He grew up playing baseball and lacrosse, and later went on to fire school to become a firefighter for the City of Palatka. Also an old soul at heart, Ben is never short on hobbies and is always setting his sights on new goals (and usually won't stop until he reaches them). He enjoys working out, cooking, relaxing, and is always up for trying something new.
Peyton Reichenbach
Maid of Honor
Peyton has known Jordan for over 10 years. They've seen each other through all of the awkward phases and many questionable decisions. While outside of their friendship, Peyton is known as a labor and delivery nurse, she is most known by those close to her as a kind and loyal friend (and the captain of "Team Jordan"). The two have gone through life as twin flames, so it is no surprise that she'll be standing next to Jordan on her wedding day!
Corey Strange
Best Man
Corey and Ben met in fire school and immediately became inseparable—and arguably a bad influence on each other. While they can’t claim they always made the best decisions, they can confidently say they had a great time making them. Even though work has taken Corey to Jacksonville and Ben to Palatka, Corey still treats it like his personal responsibility to make sure Ben is having fun whenever they're together (whether he needs it or not). Honestly, there’s no one more qualified for the job, which makes him the obvious choice for best man.
Ryan Dalton
Man of Honor
Ryan and Jordan met in college and instantly became great friends. Ryan is the kind of guy who has never met a stranger (but will also probably hit on your mom). Though they met at school, Ryan moved to South Florida a year into their friendship and he and Jordan were able to keep their friendship going from 300 miles away. Their friendship has been filled with tons of laughter, phone calls, and showing up for one another (even from 5 hours away). While Ryan's personality can be polarizing, he's one of the most kind and loyal friends anyone could ask for.
Chloe Kralis
Best Woman
You know those friendships that stay strong long after the rest of the friend group falls apart? That’s Ben and Chloe! They met through mutual friends, and together the group made plenty of memories (and even more questionable decisions). While the rest of the group didn’t quite last, Ben and Chloe’s friendship did. They’ve stuck by each other through college, long-distance phases, and all the ups and downs of adult life. No matter what, they’ve always shown up for each other in the moments that matter most, so of course Ben’s wedding is no exception. Even if she takes a little longer than Jordan to get ready on the big day (and will probably show up with three times as many bags), Ben and Jordan couldn’t be more excited to have her as part of the wedding party.
Makayla Martin
Bridesmaid
Jordan and Makayla have been friends for over a decade. The two met in middle school and have gone from passing notes in class, to walking across graduation stages together. She's the type of friend that you can enjoy doing anything with - from a concert in a different city to a movie at home, Makayla is always willing to go along with Jordan's crazy ideas! Makayla has always been there to stand next to Jordan in every big moment of her life, so her wedding day is no different.
Madison Stevens
Groomswoman
While Madison is Ben’s younger sister, she has never missed an opportunity to keep him humble (as most younger sisters do)! She grew up playing lacrosse and is now a goalie at Colgate University, where she’s majoring in Neuroscience and Mathematical Systems Biology with plans to pursue a career in medicine. While she may seem quiet at first, make no mistake—Madison is the life of the party and always the center of attention. She might steal the spotlight on the big day, but Ben and Jordan wouldn’t have it any other way and are so happy to have her standing by their side.
Michael Stevens
Officiant & Father of the Groom
Mike and Amanda show up for their kids in every moment—big and small—almost to a fault. They’ve not only been wonderful role models for their children, but without them, Ben and Jordan might not have been together (or even known of each other). When Ben and Jordan thought about who should officiate their wedding, something about Mike just felt right. While no one is entirely confident he’ll make it through without shedding more tears than either Ben or Jordan, no one could be more perfect for the role. Ben and Jordan can’t wait for everyone to witness the love he has for his kids as he shows up for the couple in this incredibly meaningful way.
