Chelsea & Zack
Wedding Party
Megan Schwab
Maid of Honor
Schwabbles has been my side kick and best friend since she stepped foot onto OSU’s campus in 2003. She wanted to have a sleep over every night and wouldn’t ever go back to her own dorm. We were inseparable and constantly were asked if we were sisters. After having way too much sushi and sake together, making sure she knew how to build a snowman, and letting her know her hubcaps were on correctly, I undoubtedly knew some day she would be my maid of honor. We lived together for four years and had the time of our lives. I can confidently say my favorite stories from college involve Schwab in some way!
Brooklyn Schmidt
Bridesmaid
I met Brooke when she was 8 years old. As Zack’s daughter, I knew I needed to make a good impression. After many long car rides commuting to and from Columbus and tons of times cooking together, her and I have formed a special bond. I’m so grateful she agreed to stand by my best friends and I on the day I marry her dad!
Nicole Eaton
Bridesmaid
Snoddy is my ride or die from high school. I met her when I transferred mid freshman year to DeSales in 1999. We bonded over our common love for softball, but that quickly grew into a lifelong friendship. We grew up learning a lot about life together and although she packed up and moved across the country to Arizona, she has always been my constant shoulder to lean on and true friend no matter the situation. Our friendship is invaluable and I am so grateful for her unwavering support, guidance, and unconditional loyalty.
Elizabeth Hines
Bridesmaid
Liz and I became friends quickly after she came to play softball for OSU in 2004. We lived together for two years and she was my favorite throwing partner on the field. We have shared so many amazing experiences together on and off the field and have a bond that will last a lifetime.
Chad Chambers
Best Man
From our young age back in middle school, Chad was and always has been the friend I could always count on. Whether we saw each other every day, or once a year, we’ve always been there for each other. A lot of the best and most memorable days of my life were spent with Chad. He’s always been a brother of mine, and a great person.
Ashton Carpenter
Groomsman
Raising you was tough. When you were born, I was still a kid myself. We went through a lot of hard times together, most of which you may not even remember. But when I look back at those tough times, I realize you and your sister are what made me into the man I am today. While I’m standing at the alter, looking at everyone who came to see us get married, and watch my bride walking toward me down the aisle, I’ll remember that none of this would be possible without my kids. Being your dad has been one of the most challenging, and THE most rewarding, things I’ve ever done. Seeing you continue growing into a young man makes me prouder than you will ever know. I owe you a lot buddy, and there’s no way you weren’t going to be standing up there with me as I say “I do”.
Josh Oddi
Groomsman
Boy was I glad that Josh was part of the package! Chelsea and I are both “only children”, but she came with one hell of a step brother. Getting to watch Josh grow into a young man, fresh out of college, has been a pleasure. Getting to be the big brother I always wanted to be, has been awesome. But above all, the bond this boy and I have created over these last few years, I know we’re going to have a life long brotherhood that will only continue growing. Love ya bud!
Alex Marolo
Groomsman
I always looked at Alex, when we were younger, like a little brother. I related to him a lot and always thought he was awesome. He grew up into not only a great brother and a friend, but someone i look up to.
