Wedding Party
James Danford IV
Ring Bearer
James is an absolute blessing in our lives. He is a smart and bright young man, with lots of ambition. I have known him since he was 6 years old, and has made life so much more meaningful to Elena and I!
Clark Danford
Child Of The Brides
Clark is the apple of our eye! So giggly and ready for adventure. He makes everyday worth giving it our all!
Alyssa Maunz
Maid of Honor
Alyssa and I have been friends for nearly 10 years. We met when we worked together and I decided to talk her ear off our first shift together. For some odd reason, she listened and we became thick as thieves. We have been through many life events together, including the birth of her daughter Addison, the birth of my son Clark, and many more. Alyssa is one of a kind, genuine, and smarter than anyone I've ever met. She is a blessing in my life and, not only do I look at her as an amazing human being, but so does my family.
Kirstie Shields
Bridesmaid
Kirstie and I became friends when we entered our final class of college. Kirstie is smart, compassionate, and extremely funny. We became even closer when we both experienced pregnancy together, and we both watched as our bodies changed, our babies grew and our views on life became something different from before. I love her and her daughter Avery more than words can describe, and I am so happy to experience this day with her by my side.
Kimmy Kroggel
Bridesmaid
Kimmy and I met during our last class of college. Kimmy has always been smart and quick witted. She knows how to have a good time, and has always been there for me when I needed someone the most. We've experienced many fun times together, and she has always been someone I can confide in during difficult times. I am so excited for her to be by my side during this experience, and I am also excited to be by her side during her wedding as well.
Addison Alexander
Flower Girl
I have known Addison since I found out her mother was pregnant. Addison has been a joy in my life for 7 years and counting, and watching her grow into a beautiful young lady has been an honor. Since getting engaged, I have known she would be the best girl for the job. I am excited to share this day with her, and looking forward to seeing the wonderful job she does welcoming me into the wedding.
Matthew Mcilhargey
Best Man
I have known Matt for 20 years, over half my life. He's my Best friend and my Brother. We've been through a lot together in that time, riding bikes as kids, played video games and had all sorts of friend groups come and go. We never even went to the same school. At one point as a senior in high school I left Ohio, Seemingly only seeing him on holidays, and they were pretty great holidays and never dull. There are a lot of friendships that stand the test of time, they all have ups and downs, but ours has been pretty great. The older we get the busier our lives have become but he's still the one I'd call before I would take my car to a mechanic. I'm happy he will be with me on my special day, because it just wouldn't be the same without him.
Anthony Smith
Groomswoman
Anthony and I met when we worked together at Best Buy. We didn't always work together directly until we did. Around that time he became someone I could talk to and he made that clear he was good with that, in fact encouraged it. He's always been a genuine spirit that resonated with me to the point I made him my only confidant on a few topics outside a few other people in my life. That was only because we had grown together to the point even after we both left Best Buy. I still wanted him in my life as someone who became an incredible friend. You only get a few people in your lifetime who will stay out till 5 am drinking with you, and will still be there to hold your hair back, and I'm happy he's with me for my day.
Caleb Montrose
Groomsman
I met Caleb working at Best Buy back in 2018. It wasn't long before we realized we liked a lot of the same things and our significant others got along just as well, so we found ourselves regularly hanging out. From Game nights to anime to life, we have always been able to be open, honest and trusting with each others most personal parts of our lives. I have been lucky to have a friend like Caleb in my life and I know Kayla and I both are glad he is with us on our special day.
