Wedding Party
Chloe Blackwell
Bride
(Soon to be Chloe Pawlik) Chloe comes as a package deal with her affectionate cat, Aelin, and her goofy-but-loveable dog, Blu. She likes to read, draw, and bake. Chloe and Jacob enjoy playing video games together (even though he is much more proficient than she) and watching scary movies. ( A note from Jacob: Chloe carries so much kindness in her heart that it spills into everything she does. Her selfless nature makes the world a kinder place.)
Jacob Pawlik
Groom
Jacob is a hardworking individual whose love and loyalty to friends and family run deep. He enjoys playing video games and has a cuddly, goofy pittbull named Sundown, who is best friends with Chloe's dog, Blu. (A note from Chloe: Jacob's sense of humor is both joyous and infectious, and he is the most excellent pet parent to all of our collective fur babies)
Sidney (Sid) Arnold
Matron of Honor
Sid and Chloe met through the groom, and have been friends since they met! When life isn’t crazy, they play video games together online. Fun fact: Sid's husband is also named Jacob, and the Jacobs have been besties for about 10 years now!
Jacob Arnold
Best Man
Co-Workers to Best friends Jacob Arnold and Jacob Pawlik first bonded over a mutual respect for each others work ethic. Jacob A was one of the first people to realize Chloe and I were meant to be. He has been a constant source of support, and we are blessed to have him in our corner. Just don't believe any stories he has to tell about us.
Kyleigh Pawlik
Bridesmaid and Sister of the Groom
Kyleigh is the groom's younger sister, and a friendship has fostered between her and Chloe through their mutual love of line dancing. (A note from Chloe: I am beyond excited to have another sister in my life, but one being named Kyleigh and the other being named Kailey will never stop being a tongue twister!)
Joshua Gillespie
Groomsman
Gillespie and Jacob have been friends since middle school and have a plethora of memories together as friends. If you're looking for the person responsible any questionable decisions over the past 17 years, look no further. Chloe and I are honored to have such a loyal and funny guy with us on our big day.
Summer Dennis
Bridesmaid
Chloe and Summer met while they both worked at Rose City Animal Clinic, Chloe as a Veterinary Technician and Summer as a Kennel Tech. Even though interaction was limited, they became work friends, and their friendship grew when Summer transferred and became a Veterinary Technician as well.
Joshua (Josh) Pawlik
Groomsman and Brother of the Groom
Josh always has a great playlist ready and at least a couple jokes to get people laughing. He's always been more than just my little brother; he's one of my closest friends and biggest supporters. I'm incredibly proud to have him standing with me as we take this next big step.
Samantha (Sam) Koenig
Bridesmaid
Sam and Chloe also met while working together at Rose City Animal Clinic as technicians. Since they were hired around the same time, they bonded over being the "newbies" together. Even after Sam moved, their friendship was one that has persisted both time and long-distance.
Justin Pawlik
Groomsman and Brother of the Groom
Growing up, Justin was the one who showed me what was possible. Paving the way for me and the "minis". Without him I doubt I would be the man I am today. I couldn't imagine this milestone without my big brother by my side.
Michael (Mike) O'Neal
Groomsman
Cousin to Joshua Gillespie, Jacob and Mike initially met through him. The friendship that followed fostered in a shared sense of humor and love of video games. When the three of us get together someone is bound to end up laughing so hard tears start to flow. Mike is a loving father and husband, and I am so glad to have him alongside me for this milestone in my life.
Will Phillips
Groomsman
Will and Jacob met as coworkers, quickly becoming good friends in their shared interests of all things that go fast on two wheels. Will exposed Jacob to the world of dirt bike racing, motocross, supercross, and everything in-between. They have an annual ritual of going to the supercross races in Dallas. Will has an uncanny ability to bring a smile to the faces of people around him, and we are so happy that he could be with us as we cross the finish line also!
