Jonathan & Natasha
Wedding Party
Molly Mckeown
Maid of Honor
If you are ever looking for a smiling face in the midst of a wedding day crisis, Molly is your girl! Armed with a ferocious laugh and a will to help anyone (or any animal) she comes across, Molly has been best friends with the bride since the summer of 2013. Molly is in her second year of vet school at Mississippi State so December 17th will be a perfect excuse for her to take a well deserved break!
Bryan Troye
Best Man
The life of the party can always be found wherever Bryan is. Best friends with Jonathan since 2011, he is the brother that the groom never had. True to his midwestern upbringing, Bryan's best traits are his intense desire for everyone to be included and his gift of gab. If you are looking for a quick-witted joke or any fun to be had, Bryan is your guy!
Jennifer Valentine
Matron of Honor
With a last name befitting of the occasion, Jennifer holds a special place in the brides heart. They have been co-workers since 2018 and the fact that they are close friends certainly makes the many hours spent together during the day that much more enjoyable. The mom to two energetic little boys, this pretty lady has the perfect calming personality and is a great go to person for any wedding day hiccups!
Levi Johnson
Groomsman
Levi and the groom became fast friends when they ran against each other for President of the Film and Video Society at Valdosta State. The fact that Levi lost to the groom but came over and wanted to get to know him anyway is a true reflection of his personality as a whole. Levi brings his genuine caring attitude into every space he enters and will be a welcome calming (and comical) addition to the wedding day crew.
Lexi Turner
Bridesmaid
You will be able to spot Lexi in any crowd by her beautiful, funky hair color which truly represents her spunky personality. Cousin of the bride, Lexi and Natasha have known each other since before either one started kindergarten and have been causing trouble ever since. With her love of nature and very down to earth attitude, Lexi brings a sense of magic to any occasion.
Kadri Hearns
Groomsman
Out of all of the groomsman, Kadri has been friends with the groom the longest. The two met in the fifth grade and are still going strong 15 years later. Some of Kadri's best qualities include his kind heart, his loyalty to his friends, his intense ambition, and his will to be a better person each and every day.
Gina Bice
Bridesmaid
Known far and wide for her intelligence and straightforward personality, Gina is a welcome addition to the wedding party. She is the sister of the groom and the bride is thrilled to have her as a future sister- in- law. Headed to medical school this year, we will all have a future doctor in our midst come December 17th!
Logan Troye
Groomsman
If you ever need help remembering a movie quote, need tips for making strides at the gym, or need an impromptu DJ for any get together, Logan is your guy. Another interesting fact about Logan is that he is a bilingual speaker fluent in both Spanish and English. He has been friends with the groom for close to a decade and Jonathan is honored to have him standing by his side for this special occasion.
Cornelia Baumgart
Bridesmaid
Friendship knows no bounds (not even international ones) when it comes to Cornelia and the bride. Friends since they met when the bride was 15 years old, their relationship grows more and more every year despite the many miles between them. A citizen of Germany, Cornelia is the mom of two adorable kiddos, both of whom are in the wedding party.
Zach Brown
Groomsman
One of the newest additions to the grooms repertoire of friends, Zach has a very calming and level headed personality. Having just finished serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, Zach recently went back to school to finish his mechanical engineering degree. Don't let that impressive resumé fool you though, as he is a very laid back person with an avid love for gaming.
Ashlee Clapper
Bridesmaid
Likely the longest standing friend of the bride, the two met all the way back in middle school and have been friends ever since. Ashlee can be identified by her sarcastic sense of humor and her willingness to help if anyone in her circle is ever in need. This is a big year for her, having just graduated with her Masters degree in Accounting and is now moving to a new city to start her first "big girl job." Congrats are in order if you get the chance to speak with her!
Evan Creamer
Groomsman
Evan has known both the bride and the groom for a significant amount of time ( going on 8 years now if memory serves correctly). Evan is easily identified by his booming voice and infectious laugh. Also having just celebrated graduating with his masters degree, he is on the hunt for his next big endeavor. A huge movie, pun, and board game aficionado, great conversation is sure to be had in his presence! For bonus points, bring up Scout, his very shy but very cute rescue puppy.
Lars Horn
Groomsman
Though he is the youngest member of the bridal party, the brides brother Lars certainly makes up for it in height. At only 15 years old he already stands at nearly 6 feet tall so he will be easy to pick out in a crowd. Full of witty remarks and a killer opponent in strategy games, he is a much loved member of the family. He has many passions such as fencing and theatre and though he says he isn't going to cry the day of the wedding, the jury is still out.
Michael Crookshanks
Groomsman
Though Michael lives on the opposite end of the country serving a worthy cause, he and the groom are always able to pickup right where they left off whenever they get together. Having met in church at a young age, the two became close in high school. A graduate from Auburn University and member of the Marines, he is also a huge fan of shopping at Cabela's and has a wicked sense of humor.
Leif Horn
Bridal Usher
Also one of the brides brothers, Leif is the older of the two. It may be confusing because Lars is taller, but Leif's logical, calm, and collected personality might give it away. Eager to please and always empathetic to any cause Leif has a solution to any problem and is a listening ear for any and everyone. Interested in pursuing a career in engineering when he graduates high school, the bride is hopeful that he is going to attend Georgia tech and be closer to her.
