Rachel & Jonathan
Wedding Party
Sarah Ellis
Maid of Honor
Sarah is my favorite (and only) sister, best friend and all around amazing human! She is the most caring, compassionate and supportive person in my life. We’re so close that we always know what each other is thinking with just a look. I’m blessed to have her as my sister and maid of honor. - Rachel
Michael Thorne
Best Man
Mike is the person who knows me best, after all he is my brother! Mike and I always know how to cheer the other up... the answer is always fishing! Mike is my best friend, brother and fishing buddy. You can always expect Mike and I to catch fish at any lake, creek, or river. When we are not fishing, Mike and I love to explore the outdoors and look for arrowheads.- Jon
Amanda Fitch
Bridesmaid
Amanda has truly been with me through thick and thin. We’ve been best friends for almost a decade! We met in middle school and had an instant connection. She has an infectious laugh and never fails to make me smile. I could not imagine our big day without her by my side! - Rachel
EJ Auls
Groomsman
EJ and I met in high school. We bonded pretty quickly due to our passion for music and playing bass. You can often find EJ and I at the park trying to beat each other in a game of basketball. -Jon
Hannah Stephens
Bridesmaid
Hannah is my amazing cousin. We have always dreamed of being in each other’s weddings! We’re over the moon that this day has finally come. Hannah is one of the most compassionate people you will ever meet! I’ve been blessed with her friendship throughout our lives. - Rachel
Ben Messner
Groomsman
Ben and I met in college at Ohio University. We became instant friends due to our love for bass and because we both had very similar senses of humor. Ben and I became close friends as I envied his hair, and he was jealous of my beard. -Jon
Vanessa Stephens
Bridesmaid
As my cousin and friend, I have known Vanessa all her life. Whether it was summers or family holidays, we always had the best time. Even dressing kittens up in skirts or making up plays. She has the kindest heart and I’m blessed to have her with me on my big day. - Rachel
Emily Justice
Groomswoman
Emily and I have been best friends since we first met when I was just five years old. Our friendship would take a book to describe it justly. We spent our whole childhoods together and even went to the same college, while we had the same major! - Jon
Whitney Wooters
Bridesmaid
Whitney is my amazing cousin and friend. She’s so genuine and not afraid to try new things! I absolutely loved being a part of her big day 2 years ago, and I’m so thankful she’ll be by my side at ours. - Rachel
Bobby Corns
Groomsman
Bobby and I met at Ohio University. He is my big in The Singing Men of Ohio (SMO). Bobby and I became quick friends through our love for music and our love for football and pizza. Bobby can always be counted on for a good joke, or for great advice! -Jon
