Our Family

Brijan Gossan

Maid of Honor

Brijan was the first person I met when I moved to Indianapolis in February 2011. She has the biggest heart and is one of the strongest people I know. She immediately made me feel welcome and introduced me to some of my favorite people in the world. I should have started a blog of things Brijan has taught me. She taught me how to enjoy good for you food (veggies, fish, salads, etc..), how to ride a bike again (and drunk), how to have a Sunday Funday (!!), how to play flag football with a vengeance, what wine to order, and how to look in the mirror every moring and say 'F-You world, you will not impact my day! Just like I said with Brad, Brijan and I are always on the same page! In fact, it's been a running joke that Brijan was included in the package when Brad chose to start dating me.

Lanell Cadwell

Bridesmaid

Lanell is the most loyal and giving person in the world (convinced)! Her capacity to love and support knows no bounds! I first met Lanell and Ryan on a ski trip to Colorado. They were so patient with me as I learned how to ski and made sure that I was never alone the whole time. I always joke and say that they 'take care' of me but really - I can never repay them! As stressed out as Rolls made me sometimes it did not matter because I knew I was going to see my best friend every day. Lanell always gives the best advice and always has my back (and so many others!) It's been a pleasure getting to know her kids... I feel close to them and I hope they know that they can always reach out to Brad and I if they want to!

Megan Core

Bridesmaid

Megan! Where do I start; first of all - Get over it already she is living every woman's dream!! She is a Doctor.... but more importantly!! she can eat 5lbs. of snickers bars and not gain a pound! WTH? Seriously though, Megan has been amazing to me and I'm so lucky to have her as a sister-in-law. She gets Brad and I and is in full support of the fact that we both drink like we're still in college! She obviously has a HUGE brain but there is no room in there for judgment. Her and Blaise are #couplegoals and will be great role models for all of their kids and all of their nieces and nephews!

Tiffany Taylor

Bridesmaid

Tiffany is my first cousin, the daughter of my Mom's oldest sister. Growing up some of my favorite weekends were when I got to go to Tiffany's house on the weekends and spend the night. I loved borrowing her clothes, hanging out with her and her friends, and basically copying and learning as much from her as I could! She also taught me how to shave my legs! Tiffany is one of the strongest women I know. She lives in California! We don't get to see each other much but when we do, you can expect non-stop real talk and a party.

Alexis Williams

Bridesmaid

I met Alexis in a bar It was a blind date, so to speak. We met through our mutual friend Michelle Pruitt and hit it off instantly. Alexis is the nicest, most inclusive person I've ever met. Everywhere she goes she brings along at least 10 friends and hosts the best parties/events. She is always available whenever I need her; I can text her anytime of the day or night and she'll respond within 20 minutes. Alexis went to Mexico with me and my family and we try to make one trip a year to cool places like Vegas, Mexico, Miami, etc... We love Beer, Bourbon, and BBQ, dancing, Army Football, karaoke, and especially country music!!! And dare I say jello shots?

Eric Brophy

Best Man

The "older and wiser" idiom doesn't apply here, but Eric definitely taught me some good tricks and hacks in my life growing into the man I am today. Life lessons can't be taught, but they can be experienced with this guy. Always up for a good time, there is never a dull moment with him. He has always been a great teacher and even better brother. He and his wife Sarah have been amazing, supportive, and excited for us since day 1. His wife is a book writer and we look forward to the next chapter of our lives with them in Cincinnati.

Todd Brophy

Best Man

His ego is big, but it's well deserved. As the younger brother he held his own in our house and it was always a great tag team with him against Eric. He is the brains of the family (sorry Megan), and quite possibly the best dancer too after the moves he pulled off at the Indy 500 in those cut-off jean shorts. His brains show with his witty comments. He and his wife Jen have always been some of our biggest fans. They like to travel and experience the world and we hope to enjoy trips with them in the future.

Ben Miller

Groomsman

Whether it was a big bird or Brad is yet to be determined, just ask him sometime. We have been best friends since day 1 (day 3 for Ben born 2 days before me). We grew up across the street together playing sports, video games, etc in our neighborhood. Ben is more of a brother than a friend. He is always up for a cold beer and a cigar and who could ever say no to that! His only flaw is being a Browns fan but I look past that with all his other qualities since no one is perfect. Ben is a guy that will always make time for us and we are so thankful for him and Jenni being in our lives.

Blaise Core

Groomsman

Blaise has been an awesome brother-in-law and is a great father. When Megan first brought him home many years ago I knew this guy would be a great addition to our family. I really started to bond with him when he, Megan and me all lived in Columbus and tailgated at OSU games. He really earned my respect when taking Sparks shots on one knee at Scarlet and Gray. Blaise reached out for me with an internship which started my career and I will always be grateful for him. Nichole and I have always enjoyed him and Megan, and look to be great parents like them.

Michael Corum

Groomsman

Mike always knows how to keep Nichole in check with a good game of tips or fantasy football. Always a good trash talker, he keeps things lively. He welcomed me to the family the first time I went to Illinois and has always been great since. He and Nichole are very close. He always makes time for us. He is a great dad for his son Max and I am proud to call him my brother.
