Wedding Party
Amberly Rodriguez
Bride
Blake Coughlin
Groom
Kailey Drew
Matron of Honor
My built-in best friend since birth! Kailey has always been a role model to me as I have had the pleasure of witnessing my big sister grow into the beautiful woman she is today. Kailey is passionate and driven in every aspect of life. Her selflessness and heart of gold make her the perfect example of a loving wife and life partner. And for that reason, I can't imagine a better person to have by my side on the happiest day of my life.
Mitchell Coughlin
Best Man
My dude for life. Has been here since birth. Mitch has been such a pivotal part of my life and has taught me a ton about sports, snowboarding, and recently fishing. He would drive me and Amber around when we didn't have licenses and tried his best to scare Amber away on our first date! Mitch is a fantastic guy and it's awesome that we get to celebrate another life milestone together.
Ally Rodriguez
Maid of Honor
Lucky me, I have two built-in best friends! Although younger than me, Ally is someone I have looked up to since the start. It has been my joy to watch Ally transform into the strong, talented, and gorgeous person she is, inside and out. Ally has taught me so much and inspires me to be a better person every day. I am proud to be her older sister and honored to have her stand by my side on our special day.
Connor Coughlin
Best Man
My other dude for life. Has been here since I was 2. Connor is one of the most standup guys you'll ever meet. He has high morals and sticks to his word. Connor and I have a very close relationship, and we often get yelled at by our parents for wrestling too much in the house. Connor is currently serving in the United States Army, and we are thankful for the sacrifices he's making.
Shannon Coughlin
Bridesmaid
My bonus older sister! Flashback to 2015, Shannon was the ultimate wing woman driving Blake and I back and forth, going bowling and to McDonalds with us before we even started dating. I quickly realized Shannon would grow to be one of my closest friends and a true sister to me. Shannon is a talented, spontaneous, and loyal person that inspires me to live life to the fullest. I am so blessed to have the most amazing sister-in-law and bridesmaid!
Josh Jameson
Groomsman
Lifelong dude of ours. He has been a thorn in my side since 3rd grade and Amber's since freshman year. He will give you the shirt off his back and always has some longwinded but hilarious stories. Josh is a true brother from another mother and has gone on several vacations with us, adding to the fun of the family. We've talked about this day for a very long time and we're excited to share it with him.
Kelli Coughlin
Bridesmaid
My bonus younger sister! My first impression of Kelli was the most hilarious video of her on Blake's Instagram page, and I immediately knew I was going to love her. Kelli is so full of life, with the most contagious laugh and a constant positive attitude that makes being around her so fun. Kelli is one of the hardest working people I know, but is always down to have a good time! I genuinely have a forever friend in my soon-to-be sister-in-law and for that I am so grateful.
Tyler Coughlin
Groomsman
Tyler is the life of the party. When you're around him, you'll never have a dry moment. He taught me a lot when I was younger, and he is one of the funniest guys to talk trash with. He has such a contagious laugh. Before I was able to manhandle this guy, him and Mitch used to practice all kinds of WWE moves on me. Tyler brings so much fun and joy to our lives and we're lucky to have him!
Kara Apato
Bridesmaid
One of the biggest blessings to come out of my time at NIU! The hardest days were always made better with Kara by my side on and off the field. From weekend games, to afternoons spent on the couch and weekly trips to Ollies, we made the funniest and purest memories during our college years. Although softball brought us together, its Kara's fun-loving spirit, consistent support, and genuine heart that makes her the perfect bridesmaid and lifelong friend.
Matt Drew
Groomsman
I've been fortunate to get really close to Matt over the past few years. We've bonded over the crazy Rodriguez parties where we have no clue what's going on! He is one of the goofiest, funniest dudes out there. He always has a crazy, elaborate story to share with the group. Matt is a real bros bro and a great husband to Kailey. We love hanging out with him and we are honored he said yes to join the squad!
Mackenzie Mahy
Bridesmaid
The other biggest blessing to come out of my time at NIU! Mac's work ethic and dedication has been a consistent motivator for me in softball and in life. Mac has an infectious energy that has lead to endless cherished memories like playing Bananagrams in our townhouse and girls nights watching the Bachelor or Dancing with the Stars. To have such a genuine and true friend fills my heart, and will make our wedding day even more special!
Antonio Jameson
Groomsman
We got to know this whack job through Josh and we see where Josh gets it from!😂 He's one of the most stand up guys you will meet. He's always ready to have a good time and often challenges us to various drinking competitions that he always loses in. We enjoy having lots of medical talks with our favorite super nerd. Although he is the smartest guy in our group (Physician Assistant at Northwestern), get ready to watch him go crazy our wedding night! Thanks for joining Sir Antwan!
Samantha Marsh
Honor Attendant
My first and my forever OT friend! I knew I had found a true friend when we stayed after school to study but instead spent the whole evening talking and laughing. Sammie has been there for me through all the ups and downs of graduate school with the most positive, encouraging, and supportive attitude a person could have. More importantly, Sammie has truly become a cherished friend to me, and someone I am honored to have alongside me on our wedding day!
Ethan Rodriguez
Officiant
The best big brother a girl could ask for! Ethan and I have always been buddies-- from playing on the same soccer team to dancing at homecoming to sibling dates and game nights, we have bonded through every stage of life! Back when Blake was just a crush, Ethan claims he was always on "team Blake," and I guess he had it right! Ethan's outstanding character and unbreakable faith is exactly why we are blessed to have him be the one to make this marriage official!
