Maid of Honor
Aleah has been best friends with me since 2015. Bonding instantly on our love of all things alternative and maybe being a little rebellious, we have been through thick and thin! After graduating HS, we were roommates during our freshman year of college at EMU. After our first year, our lives took different paths. However, 5 years later, Leaz moved to Columbus and the connection rekindled! Couldn’t ask for anyone else to be there on my big day.

I met Jenna in 2022 when I worked at Upstart. Her way of introducing herself to me was by having a coworker send me a message via slack saying, “Hi, we think you’re cool, want to come over to our cubicle corner?”. Okay, maybe not those words exactly, but pretty close! I would be so many concerts short without you!
Bridesmaid
Rosa Rosa Rosa. She is truly the sister I never had and I wouldn’t imagine having anyone else to fill that role. I remember thinking after meeting her for the first time that she was a ball of CHAOS, but in the best way possible. I can’t wait to share this unforgettable day with you by my side!
Bridesmaid
Sandi has always been the aunt I can turn too for anything. She has been there through almost every phase of my life. My annoying preteens, my “ew boys gross” era, and my not so great past relationships. She has seen it ALL. I knew Dom was gonna be a good fit after seeing how well he and Sandi bounced off another with their goofy humor and bad jokes.

Carter is one of the best friends that I could ask for. As one of the first friends that I made after moving to Ohio, he has put up with a lot of me over the years. He is my go to whenever I have some random interest or thought because always know I can be myself around him. From music, to TV shows I start but never finish,working at Discount Drug Mart in high school, to a short lived but very fun podcast in college, we have always found ways to strengthen our friendship over the last 10+ years.

Eric, AKA Polly, is one of the few people that is unfortunate to consistently be on the same wavelength as I am. The result is unlimited inside jokes, niche interests in oddball subcultures that I can't begin to explain, and a personality that says "F- it, let's go." Our friendship is built on a solid foundation of Dungeons and Dragons, board games that I can't beat him in, and the historical misery of being a Buffalo Sabres fan. He helps push me to be better whether that is at work, at the game table, or improv-ing a DnD character that we will laugh at for years.
Groomsman
Hunter is the Manhattan of our college friend group- classy and stoic, but won't turn down a night of games and comradery either. His taste elevates those around him and has created countless memories through hosting beautiful Friensgiving dinners and parties with his wife, Miranda. Over the years, he has proven to be the type of friend that you can call on for anything from a restaurant recommendation to a last minute favor, and that is a truly lucky friend to have.

Jacob is one of the sweetest and most kindhearted people on the planet, despite our best efforts. He always has others in mind no matter what and radiates positivity wherever he goes. His love for those around him almost outweighs his love for Whit's and gummy worms, and it is felt by those around him every day. He has been my therapist during many carpools to DnD, an incredibly reliable friend and Sid-watcher, and a constant bright spot in our lives over years.
Groomsman
Q is the closest thing to a brother that I will ever have. When I think of Q, I think of all the ways that we've grown together over the years. From two goofballs in high school, roommates for 3 years in college just trying to find their way, and now neighbors in an area we both love, he has been by my side every step of the way. There aren't many people that know me like Q does, and I wouldn't want anyone else to be there whenever I need a laugh or rant or celebration. And I returned the favor by making him a Bills fan! Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.
Groomsman
Ryan has a gravitational pull to him. His energy brings people together and keeps them together, too. Despite being a state away, that energy can still be felt like we were still in Morrison Tower. Since meeting at OSU during our sophomore year, we have spent countless hours playing DnD, Magic the Gathering, board games, and now we are both figuring out how the hell to plan a wedding. Ryan is the kind of guy that will go to battle with you and still be able to find humor in the chaos.

Spencer gets the prestigious title of being my first friend in Ohio- brought together by a Star Wars t-shirt in Spanish class. And I am more than lucky that he was that friend. It is hard to find someone who is 10% as genuine and thoughtful as Spencer. His friendship is one of the most constant things that I've had over the last 10 years, cutting through the many ups and downs that life has thrown at us. He's also the one to blame for introducing me to DnD, which has become an (almost) embarrassingly large part of my life.
