Matron of Honor
Having my sister Miranda as my Matron of Honor means the world to me. She’s been my role model, my biggest supporter, and my lifelong friend. From childhood memories to every milestone along the way, she has always been there with love, laughter, and guidance. I’m so grateful to have her by my side on this special day, just as she’s been throughout my life!
Best Man
As my twin brother, Tom has always been a person that I feel I can rely on in any situation. Growing up we shared a room, birthdays and even dressed similarly (not always on purpose). Our constant drive to play sports and compete against each other, pushed us to excel not only in athletics but I believe in life as well. From a young age, we were either competing in sports, wrestling in our parents house (sometimes to detriment of our parents furniture), or just hanging out in similar friend groups. Still after almost 35 years, nothing really has changed besides the distance we live apart, when we still get together, much to dismay of my parents, we will wrestle. Tom’s tenacity for life, his passion to always do better, his quick wit and determination are a few of the many reasons I appreciate about him. I believe this makes him the natural fit to be my best man and there is no one better to stand by my side then the person who helped me basically put holes into our parents walls while also just being person I can rely on when things get tough.
Bridesmaid
If you know Mikayla you know she brings the perfect mix of humor, honesty, and sisterly chaos. She’s been a steady and meaningful part of my life for as long as I can remember, and growing up together gave us endless stories, inside jokes, and a bond that only siblings can understand. We’ve shaped each other in more ways than we probably realize. I’m so grateful to have her with me on this special day
Groomsman
As my older brother, Zach, has been a constant example of what a great older brother should be. Zach has always been there to lend a helping hand or provide some good advice when needed. Growing up, being 2 years older than his two younger twin brothers, must have been hard but I think what helped bond us was in high school. All three of us got to be on the same swim team for high school for two years, this is where I saw Zach’s dedication and push himself to strive for greatness. I believe that focus and attention to his craft, pushed me to try and do better my final two years of high school. His overall intellect and his profound sense of family focus makes him truly someone I am proud to call my big brother. We may not have always gotten along, (probably a lot because of my choices), he has always been someone I have looked up to and strived to be. I believe this is what makes it even better to have him stand up there with me on this most important next step in my life.

I am honored to have my cousin, Hannah, as part of our wedding party. She has been a constant source of encouragement, laughter, and family connection throughout my life. From shared memories to everyday moments, she’s always brought joy and support into my world. Having her by my side as we celebrate this special day makes it even more meaningful, and I feel so lucky to share this milestone with her!
Groomsman
Although Ryan and I have only known each other for a short period of time, he has quickly become someone I respect but also a example of how to be a good husband, father and overall person. Ryan has always been there to help with little things whether is a Golf, life advice or just be there to tell a funny story to make you smile. He has quickly welcomed me into the family but also made me feel like I’ve gained another brother and a friend for life. Ryan is an example of welcomeness and someone who strives to do better for not only himself but his family as well. I am honored to have him as my future brother but more importantly, I am happy to have him stand up there with me on this big day.
Bridesmaid
Bailey and I have been friends since high school, and from the very beginning, she has been a constant source of support, love, and laughter in my life. I’m so grateful for the memories we’ve shared, the challenges we’ve faced together, and the bond that has only grown stronger over the years. Having her by my side on my wedding day means more than words can express, and I feel incredibly lucky to celebrate this new chapter with my dear friend!
Groomsman
From High School Volleyball to Fortnite, Josh has been part of the solid friend core I’ve had since high school. We met through playing volleyball at Central Catholic and remained in contact even after high school. We reconnected years after, we both moved back to Toledo to finish school and quickly bonded over beach volleyball, video games, random adventures together to put-in-bay and even a stint of coaching high school volleyball together. Josh has been there by my side through some of my toughest moments and has always been there to provide a listening ear and just good friendly laughter. He has always had an ability to elevate experiences and make them light hearted and fun. Though we spend our time either out on the golf course, or playing late night video games much to probably the dismay of our partners, Josh has truly always been a best friend I can rely on. Watching him become a Husband and now a father have two, has really shown me how, when you do right by the people you love, you get that in return. I’m proud to have him stand up there with me.
Bridesmaid
Even though Kelsey and I haven’t known each other from day one, it feels like from the moment we met, something just clicked. She became one of those rare people who instantly feels like home, the kind of friend you can talk to for hours, laugh with until your stomach hurts, and trust wholeheartedly. It truly feels like I’ve known her my entire life. I’m so grateful for the bond we share and so excited to have her standing by my side on this special day!
Groomsman
Formally, we metbthrough growing up doing Indian Guys together at YMCA with our fathers. Mac is also part of the core group of friends from high school that has always been there for lifes changes, whether they were ups or downs. Mac’s zest for living life to fullest and just enjoying good competition, makes him someone I truly do admire. His friendship is cherished as we can spend months not saying a word but the minute we get back together whether that is on the golf course, at a sporting event or just hanging out having a drink, time doesn’t change. Watching Mac grow to become a husband and a father has truly been an example of how when you strive for what you want in life, you can achieve it. From late night parties in his parents garage for OLPH fest to Golf Outings to having a few drinks on someone’s porch, Mac is a true example of friendship can be lifelong. I am proud to have him stand up there with me on this big day.
Mother of the Groom
My mother is the pure example of a strong, dedicated, loving and fierce family woman. Growing up, my mother would sacrifice anything she could for her family. She is also a prime example of where not only my work ethic comes from but also the fierce love for family was established. She taught me self worth but also to push and preserve through any life challenges. She has always been there with a helping hand, some advice or just a warm hug to make sure everything is alright. My mother has always been there for me whether it was a good or bad without any question. Her unwavering love and support, has really shown to be a guiding light in our family and provided a us a foundation for what family truly can be when we listen and take care of each other. These are some of many qualities that she has bestowed upon me as I take this next journey in life.
Father of the Groom
My Father is the example of hard work, dedication and someone who will do anything for his family. My dad growing up encouraged strong competition but also always provided us avenues to compete in whatever we wanted to do. He has always been a supporter of anything I do but also has been there when I needed help or advice. His tenacity to provide for his family but also always be there to make every competition or event, shows me truly what a father should be. My dad, has been the person, as I have gotten older have turned to for much of my business acumen and really a sounding board to help me in my career. He is also the first person to always message me about our love for BG athletics and just someone I enjoy seeing updates from about what is happening in the sports world. Although many people think he looks mean when first meeting him, his warm bear hugs and constant love and encouragement are true examples of who he truly is.
Mother of the Bride
My mom has been the person I’ve leaned on my entire life, the one who has listened, guided, comforted, and cheered me on through every season. She’s been there for every milestone, every heartbreak, every new beginning, and every moment in between. Her love, strength, and quiet sacrifices have shaped me in ways I’m forever grateful for. Sharing my wedding day with her means more to me than words can express, and I’m so thankful to have her by my side as I begin this next chapter.
Father of the Bride
My dad has been one of my biggest supporters. He’s the person who taught me strength, patience, and how to laugh even on the hard days. Whether it was cheering me on, giving the best (and sometimes blunt) advice, or simply being there when I needed him, he’s always shown up with love and loyalty. I’m so grateful for the memories we share and for the role he has played in shaping who I am today. Having him by my side on my wedding day is incredibly special, and I’m honored to celebrate this moment with him.
Flower Girl
Our sweet niece is full of personality, charm, and just the right amount of sass. She has the kindest little heart, the biggest smile, and a gentle spirit that lights up every room she walks into. Whether she’s showing off her twirls or making everyone laugh without even trying, she brings so much joy. Having her as our flower girl makes the day even more special, and we can’t wait to see her sprinkle a little extra love and magic down the aisle!
Ring Bearer
Half of my now nephews, I get the pleasure of these two being there on this wonderful day providing security for the most important piece of jewelry in my life. The son’s of my oldest brother Zach, over the last few years, I’ve been able to really enjoy being an uncle to these lovable two boys. Eli (the oldest), is my Godson and is a spitting example of who my older brother was when he was younger. His quick wit, intelligence and overall laughter can bring joy to the room. In addition, his youngest brother Alex, is the perfect compliment to his older brother. Alex is an easy going, smiley and curious kid, who just wants attention from his older brother. He truly just wants to be apart of everything when family is around. As the one of the youngest nephews out of the now five from both sides of the family, I am honored to have these boys join me and help usher in this big moment in life.
