Wedding Party
Krista Livesay
Maid of Honor
Krista and I have been friends since first grade. We lived in the same neighborhood and grew up together. We spent tons of time helping each other clean our rooms, hanging out at each others houses, going on vacations together, and binge watching Gilmore Girls and Lizzie McGuire. Her mom was also one of our girl scout leaders. I am so grateful she is my Maid of Honor. Brad and I are so happy to have her as a part of our day. She is one of my best and longest friends. I look forward to many more years of friendship.
Jen Hamblin
Bridesmaid
Jen is my cousin. Her family and mine were very close growing up. We spent pretty much every holiday and birthday at her parents' house or my parents' house. I would say she is more a sister to me. When I got older, her house became my second home. Honestly, I think I might have spent most of my teens and 20's hanging out with her, watching movies, going to concerts, hanging out on the water, and getting into some shenanigans. She was one of my first adventure buddies and she is one of my best friends.
Alyssa Hayman
Bridesmaid
Alyssa and I became friends when I worked at the nursing home. She worked at the front desk, and I was a nurse aide. We grew close over time and she became one of my first best friends in adulthood. She is one of my most organized friends. We spent many hours trying to get my life in order. She's always pushing me to be better and I love her for it. I am so thankful for her help through out the planning process and for being my friend.
Chasie Ernest
Bridesmaid
I met Chasie in high school. She was in the color guard, and I was in the marching band. We were acquaintances and lost contact for a bit after she graduated as she was a senior when I was a freshman. We met again in my sophomore year when I got a job at Fazoli’s. I think that might have been one of the worst jobs the two of us had, but I'm grateful for the experience as I got a truly amazing friend out of it. She is the kindest and sweetest person. I love having her as a friend and we are so happy to have her as apart of our day.
Dan Fenster
Bridesman
Dan and I met sophomore year of high school. We bonded during the chaos that was our geometry class. We continued to have a class or two together throughout high school and always in a chaotic classroom. We stayed friends after high school and even spent a few years at Ohio University hanging out. He's a good guy and someone I enjoy spending time with. He's been a very good friend to me over the years. Brad and I are very excited to have him involved in our wedding
Brad Willison
Best Man
I met Brad at at college job. When we lived together we would introduce ourselves as "The Brad's". We met in college so I can't give too many pg stories, but we've had fun. He is one of my best friends and someone I consider a brother. I am so happy he is apart of our big day.
Todd Hamblin
Groomsman
I met Todd through Erin. He is her cousin Jen's husband. One of the first things I learned about him was that he worked in corrections. We bonded over work stories at family get togethers, as I was a Drug and Alcohol counselor and now a probation officer. He's a good guy and someone I enjoy spending time with.
John Hayman
Groomsman
John and I met because we both needed roommates at Wright State University, and our moms are friends, so we got told who our new roommate was going to be. We didn't like the idea of them telling us what to do, but we couldn't help becoming friends. Our mom's still like to remind us of that. He's a long standing friend and someone who has been there for me when I've needed a friend. I'm thankful he's returning the favor of standing up for me on my wedding day in the august heat in a suit.
Jim Conklin
Groomsman
I met Jimmy through Erin. He is Erin's cousin and Jen's twin brother. Erin's family and Jimmy's family were very close growing up and she spent a lot of time with him. I met him at a family function and got to know him over time. He's a really smart dude and I try to keep up when he starts talking about engineering and numbers but he does a good job of dumbing it down for me. He's passionate about his job and it's fun to listen to him talk about it. I've spent time watching him fish at his dad's place on the ohio river and enjoyed drinking with him on the dock. Looking forward to having him in our wedding and spending more time with him in the future.
Megan Leist
Groomswoman
Megan and I met through the same college job where I met Brad. We've been friends for years and even lived together for a bit. Megan allowed me to feel like I had dogs without actually having the responsibility of owning them. She had two dogs when we lived together and I grew very attached to them. I missed them very much when I moved out. She helped us get Mocha and is a frequent dog sitter for us. She loves animals and is a good friend to Erin and I.
Brenna Willison
Flower Girl
Brenna is my Best Man Brad's daughter. I consider her to be my niece. Erin and I love to spoil her and have so much fun hanging out with her. We have loved watching her grow up and are so excited to have her as our Flower Girl. She is a very sweet little girl and we look forward to continuing to be apart of her life.
Parker Hamblin
Ring Bearer
Parker is Jen and Todd's son. He is a very sweet little boy that we have had the pleasure of watching grow up. We are so excited he's apart of our wedding and can't wait to see what the future has in store for him. He's going to be the best Ring Bearer.
James Conklin
Ring Bearer
James is Jim's son. He is a cool kid we have enjoyed watching grow up. He is sweet and full of energy. We love kicking a soccer ball around with him or throwing a football. He has a love of sports and its fun watching his interests grow. We appreciate the person he is growing into and we look forward to his future. We are very excited to have him as a part of our day.
Lois Clark
Mother of the Bride
My mama is one of the sweetest people I know. She is selfless and always puts her family first. She is the hardest worker I know and has passed on a fantastic work ethic to my brother and I. She is always there when I need her and pushes me to be a better version of myself always. She can sometimes drive me up a wall but there is no one I'd rather have as my mom.
Ron Clark
Father of the Bride
My dad has always supported my brother in I in everything that we do. He's goofy and fun loving and one of my favorite people to hang out with. He has always fostered my love of sports. I grew up sitting on his lap watching baseball, football, and basketball with him. He's the best dad a girl could ask for.
Cassandra Delay Furlong
Mother of the Groom
Mom is either in Canada or Florida Lawn Bowling. She has been enjoying retirement and unintentionally reminds me that I still have to work Monday through Friday every chance she gets. It's alway fun visiting her wherever she might be.
