Chasz & Jordhan
Wedding Party
Blake Douglas
Best Man
Blake and Chasz met when they attended Lincoln Tech. Blake quickly became one of the most important people in Chasz's life when they made the best of a bad situation and moved in together - from that day on they have been best friends. In the last nine years, they have shared countless laughs, drinks and unforgettable moments. The icing on top, Blake and Jordhan met on the same day she met Chasz. They became fast friends and have forged a strong bond of their own over the years.
Sydney Wagoner
Matron of Honor
Jordhan and Sydney met in college when they both became members of a professional business fraternity #Bros4Lyfe. Their friendship has grown tenfold over the last 8 years, making countless memories filled with laughter, love and sarcasm. You'll often find them perusing the aisles of Home Goods and Target, but never buying anything. After a few months of awkward hover-hand hugs, Chasz and Syd grew to love each other too. They have created a strong friendship of their own and greet one another with great, big bear hugs these days!
Addison Ahart
Groomsman
"Fly Falcons Fly" is the motto Chasz and Addison have shared through their 20+ years of friendship. Dating back to the high end "institution" that is Fairview Elementary. These two have been family since the beginning and always know who to call on. Many school nights were spent leading the high school basketball student section, followed by going from party to party each weekend. No matter what, you could always find Addison and Chasz side by side. From "No blood, no foul" basketball, to the infamous “UV Cake and Green Apple" night, to sitting back having Lattes and catching up on life - Chasz could not imagine where he would be today without his brother by his side.
Alec Gerdes
Groomsman
If you ask Chasz about Alec, you'd swear they've known each other since birth. They didn't actually meet until they played football together in high school. They became inseparable off the field, with frequent “Twin Days” and Chasz becoming an unofficial Gerdes child due to spending so much time with Alec's parents. In the years following, they’ve enjoyed numerous football games, beers and drinking games together. Alec and Chasz have had each other's backs since day one. No matter the distance through the years, they have always been able to pick up like nothing has changed. As Alec continues to grow a family of his own, Chasz has no doubt that they will always be brothers.
Austin Antoni
Groomsman
Austin and Chasz only met a few years ago through mutual friends (s/o KMK), but have quickly formed a strong bond through rugby socials, an obsession with sports and “fine” dining. Chasz has been instrumental in helping Austin become the rugby player he is today, with his most infamous advice being, "Austin - just f***ing run straight!”. This experience has shown how much Chasz cares about Austin and respects his dedication to becoming a better person on and off the field. You can find these two hanging out (almost) every weekend with Jordhan and Austin’s wife, Maryah - playing games, nerding out about Madden and drinking beer/bourbon. They haven’t been friends for long, but Chasz couldn't be more thankful to have Austin in his life now.
Colleen Trittipo
Bridesmaid
Colleen and Jordhan became friends over a decade ago when she dated Jordhan's brother - although their friendship has lasted much longer than that relationship ever did. They found friendship in Maggie Moo's ice cream, McDonald's french fries and Wendy's everything else. These two have gone through some of the most formative years of their lives together - sharing in all the good and bad. No matter the distance, they have always been able to pick up right where they left off. Since the beginning, Colleen has always been the sister Jordhan never had. Jordhan's wedding day is something these two have dreamed of for so long and they can't wait to share in it side by side.
Dwight Gillispie Jr.
Groomsman
Chasz and DJ have known each other longer than either can remember. Chasz spent his childhood riding his bike a few miles down the road to the Gillispie house. This quickly became his second home - with their home phone being the first number Chasz remembered by heart. Years spent playing video games, jumping on the trampoline and reenacting And 1 Streetball - all Chasz wanted was to spend time with his brother. Their friendship has stood the test of time, only getting stronger with age. They still enjoy spending as much time as they can together, especially when DJ comes to Indy to watch Pacers games and, of course, eat and drink at Kilroy’s.
Maryah Antoni
Bridesmaid
Maryah and Jordhan became friends at the same time Chasz befriended Maryah's husband, Austin. They grew close quickly over their eerily similar personalities, affinity for cooking/baking and love of tequila. In the last few years they've been inseparable - spending weekends together playing games, complaining about Chasz/Austin (talking about Madden constantly) and sharing all aspects each other's lives. Jordhan and Maryah have plans to travel the world together in post-Covid times, unfortunately with their husbands in tow. Their friendship grows stronger by the day and Jordhan can't wait to have Maryah by her side on her big day!
Natalie Walton
Bridesmaid
Natalie and Jordhan met at a mutual friend's birthday party in 3rd grade - where they can't really remember meeting each other, but will never forget the game of Bloody Mary they played. They became best friends years later in middle school, bonding over being boy crazy and walking around Clay Terrace mall aimlessly. Their friendship has gone through the trials of growing up and finding who you are, but in the end they have always found a way back to each other. After two and a half decades of friendship, they have found their stride and Jordhan couldn't imagine her big day without Nat.
Paul Higgins
Groomsman
Chasz and Paul met at Lincoln Tech, where their friendship blossomed thanks to countless lunches, car meets and parties. Their friendship grew even stronger when Jordhan and Paul’s wife, Rachel, became close friends too - leading to weekends spent binge watching shows and eating good food. They’ve had many great memories over the years including Paul selling Chasz his first manual car, the infamous trip back to Blono just to pick up a cell phone for Chasz and Paul helping Chasz get his job at Tom Wood. Chasz's admiration for Paul's work ethic and their mutual interest in cars, basketball and high end Mexican food keeps their friendship going strong to this day.
Rachel Higgins
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Jordhan became friends through Rachel's husband, Paul and Chasz. After a few dinners spent with a larger group of friends, the four quickly started spending every weekend together - binge watching shows, attending family events together and eating great food. These weekends led to Rachel and Jordhan forming an even stronger friendship of their own. Rachel has always been the most supportive and loving friend to Jordhan, as well as the biggest champion of Chasz and Jordhan's relationship. They couldn't imagine their big day without Rachel standing beside them.
Clifford Wagoner
Officiant
Cliff is someone that exudes happiness, authenticity and joy. He has never met a stranger and leaves every person better than when he met them. When we discussed who we wanted to marry us, there was no better fit than him. Cliff has been a friend to both of us for many years - constantly providing encouragement, support and positivity. We are so honored to have him as our officiant.
