Wedding Party
Zachery Teter
Best Man
Zach and Jason have been friends since elementary school. Rat Pack crew. He is a human Labrador retriever, this guy can make friends with a box of colored pencils, he's an excellent organizer, not terribly punctual and is the life of the party. Father of the Year to little Matteo. Long live the Krehl Krabs.
Patrick Kempe
Groomsman
Patrick is one of Jason's Rat Pack members. This wanna be red neck really lives up to this expectation. Spending weekends in West Virginia gettin down and dirty in his RZR ATV. Gotta have a friend with a truck, always will to lend a hand, for a container of homemade meatballs.
Jordan Cole
Groomsman
Jordan is a Rat Pack member and the only one who lives in Cleveland with Jason. Tall boy who can make sure everyone stays together in a crowd, but will probably get you lost because he rarely knows where to go. He's the "man in the chair" with his technical expertise and his tendency to steal the AUX cord.
Benjamin Cario
Groomsman
Ben is Jason's cousin. Jason is still trying to beat him in a tournament cup at Mario Cart. They spent a lot of time together growing up. Ben still has the most robust Bionicle collection Jason knows of. A really down to earth compassionate guy, would help an elderly person cross the street.
Nathan Bucci
Groomsman
Nathan is one of the Rat Pack with Jason. Don’t let his calm demeanor fool you, this guy has problems. One minute he'll will be explaining a lofty philosophical argument fairly coherently, the next his mind or entire physical head will be in the gutter. This is what the American healthcare system has become.
Taylor Huey
Groomsman
Taylor is Jason's cousin. From a flat, terrible place, he definitely ups Indiana's credibility, with his fun disposition, his ability to hyperextend his elbows, and frat boy educational background he always makes family gatherings a lot of fun. Gerry Huey's favorite.
Connor Huey
Groomsman
Connor is Jason's cousin. Also from Indiana, Connor is an indoor cat, his hand eye coordination is incredible, really good at whatever he chooses to be really good at. Jason doesn't t know many other people who are as chill and laid back as this guy, definitely balances out Taylor's bull shit. (Brothers)
Alantae Madison
Junior Groomsman
Jason has been Alantae's Big Brother through BBBS since 2020. They love playing sports - whether that's throwing a football or via a video game. Alantae is a super fun kid, and Jason is so happy to be his Big Brother!
Andy Zicari
Mate of Honor
Andy and Callie have gone to school together since kindergarten! They used to have sleepovers every New Year's Eve. Skilled with a guitar, Andy accompanied Callie's pi recital in middle school. Andy and Callie enjoy a non-stressful and relaxed friendship. He's always willing to lend a hand with his theater tech expertise!
Zena Levan
Bridesmaid
Zena is Callie's wise older sister. Callie's first friend and playmate. She's always been there to help Callie get free access to peer reviewed articles behind paywalls, especially hours before the essay is due.
Rachael Huey
Bridesmaid
Rachael is Jason's sister (sometimes, he is her third parent) and Callie's newest sister. Whether watching Shrek (2), playing with kittens, or being Callie and Jason's pet basement gremlin (AKA housemate), being with Rachael is always fun.
Sabrina Melendez
Bridesmate
Sabrina and Callie went to high school together as creative writing majors. Through school field trips, intense writing classes, and their shared love for musical theater, they've been close. Sabrina randomly decided to move and settle down in Cleveland Heights, right where Callie grew up. They have rekindled their friendship as adults and enjoy new and old movies, theater, and experiences together.
Sophie Levan
Bridesmaid
Sophie is Callie's younger sister and constant friend. Although 2 years younger, she got her driver's license first. There is ample photo and video evidence that Callie always has adored Sophie (and sometimes yelled at/attacked her for being annoying).
Kate Graham
Bridesmaid
Kate and Callie went to high school together. Kate made an extra bed in her dorm room so that Callie could be an extra honorary roommate for exciting (and sometime rule-breaking) sleepovers. They have visited each other in six different states throughout the years, enjoying nature and cultural centers together.
Pretoria Okafor
Bridesmaid
Pretoria and Callie were roommates in college and enjoyed cooking and cleaning together at the Stone Soup Co-op, a vegetarian kitchen at school. Although far apart past state lines, they each make an effort to visit each other multiple times per year - whether that's a drive-by because of Covid or long weekend sleepovers.
Pryncess Jackson
Junior Bridesmaid
Pryncess is Callie and Jason's Little Sister through the BBBS program. Since 2020, they've done all kinds of activities and experiences together. Pryncess teaches Callie that having an extra-friendly and sweet personality can triumph over teenage angst.
Julie Bates
Flower Girl
Julie is Callie's nanny kid. They spend more time together than Jason and Callie. Julie helps bring out Callie's inner kid and makes every day fun (if not exhausting)!
