Wedding Party
Mara Jones
Matron of Honor
Mara has been my longest friend throughout life. I technically have known her since she was born! We have the absolute best childhood memories from attending many years of dance class together, going on vacations with our families, and many, many camping trips with our dads. Mara & I have grown up together and have experienced so many different stages of life by each other's sides. I am so thankful that she will be part of such another special memory, as my Matron of Honor, on our wedding day!
Nick Pirc
Best Man
From Kindergarten to College graduation, Nick and I have truly grown up together. He is the brother my parents never gave me. As kids, we spent time together in cub scouts, swim team, playing video games, and cheering on the Cleveland Browns. You can still find us together on Sunday's in the fall downtown in Muni Lot or at a bar before heading to the stadium. From camping in the woods, to dying our hair blue in high school for swim team, to standing next to me at my wedding, I couldn't have asked for a better Best Man.
Zaynah Ahmed
Maid of Honor
Zaynah and I met and became friends when we were in High School through Cross Country and Track. We then got to be college roommates at Bowling Green for a short amount of time before Zaynah transferred to Ohio State. Since we have become friends, I have always thought of Zaynah as more of a sister. From high school, to sharing a closet in college, to adulthood, we truly have been through SO many seasons of life together. From high school, to college, to adulthood, we've been through it all. I am so excited for Zaynah to be part of our big day!
Danny Atchley
Groomsman
Danny, not Dan or Daniel. He will forever be Danny to me, now and in 50 years when we are old and gray. Our mom's are sisters so we spent plenty of time together growing up. Family parties playing Pictionary and Liverpool Rummy, where you can always count on Danny to ask, "Can I have that?" all while holding half the deck. I made multiple trips from Athens to Columbus to see him during College. One of my favorite trips was on a cold dark night, when we duct taped some flip flops onto our feet, ran through campus, and did the Mirror Lake jump. In life you get to pick your friends but not your family, but today I have picked both a friend and family to join me on this special day.
Samantha Kelbley
Bridesmaid
Sam was my college roommate my senior year! We didn't know each other before living together, but after we met, I quickly felt like Sam had been my close friend for years! Sam and I have shared so many fun memories throughout the years from college nights out and in, and our annual Put' In Bay Trips (where we met Sam's now husband) to name a few. I love that our memories now also include both Tyler and Sam's husband, Lee. We are so excited to have Sam be part of our special day!
Alex Cramer
Groomsman
I should start off by apologizing for sucking you into getting Browns seasons tickets with me, but lets be honest the early morning tailgating and drinks make it all worth it. We NEVER lose a tailgate! During the summer, you can find Alex and I trying to squeeze in 9 holes after work or before family gatherings. Off the tee box, you will find me off to the right in the trees, Alex middle of the fairway another 100 yards up farther. Alex never comes empty handed, he always has spare golf balls to share, plenty to go around. Looking for a new water bottle or pint glass? Alex is your guy, he will search any and all thrift stores and find something good or find one to "borrow." Alex is Emily's cousin. He joins Emily and I to all home Browns games and on many other adventures, so its only fitting he joins us today on our big day.
Alyssa Pennington
Bridesmaid
Alyssa and I met through our speech pathology graduate school program. We quickly became friends, and I truly don't know if I would've survived the tough journey of grad school without her. Alyssa and I have shared many fun memories, laughs (our favorite thing to do) and many many weekly long distance phone-calls (lol). Whether we're grabbing coffee or lunch, spending hours on the phone, hiking Mountains in Colorado, or watching (and complaining about) the Cleveland Browns, Alyssa and I always have THE most fun. I am so excited for her to bring that fun on our Wedding Day!
Alex Souza
Groomsman
I heard so many horror stories about being paired with a random roommate in College...I stand here today not regretting a single thing (Alex might have different feelings). He looked past my blue mohawk profile picture I had and took a chance. At Ohio University, we quickly found common ground playing soccer in our free time and squeezing in a few FIFA games between classes. Alex always has the right music to play no matter the crowd, cruising in the car, on the beach in Florida for spring break or large house parties on Kurtz Street, he always knew what to play. What started as texting about having a TV and mini fridge for our dorm room, to now being in my wedding, we have come such a long way!
