Our "I Do" Crew
Katherine Scott
Maid of Honor
Meet Katherine - Meredith’s twin sister, forever “womb-mate”, and Co-Maid of Honor! She’s been Meredith’s built-in best friend, confidante, partner in crime, source of laughter with countless inside jokes - honestly just the peanut butter to Meredith's jelly. Their bond is truly one-of-a-kind, and they've been side by side since day one. They've shared every chapter of life together. Having her as the Co-Maid of Honor feels like the most meaningful thing in the world. I could not imagine life without you in it or by my side.
Nicholas Coleman
Best Man
Meet Nick - The older of Ryan's two younger brothers. Nick is much more than just a Best Man. Four and a half years apart, they have grown much closer in their adult years. Nick and Ryan share a common sense of humor and great passion for video games. So much so, that they have undertaken an original game of their own creation! Whether times are great or dreary, Nick is Ryan's go-to guy. At heart, Nick is kind, generous, full of laughter and warmth!
Jasmine Jefferson
Co-Maid of Honor
Meet Jasmine - Meredith's best friend from college and also Co-Maid of Honor. From the moment they met, she’s felt like family - though according to Jasmine they had met a few times before. However that's a story for another day 😉. Truly a bonus sister in every way that matters. Through late-night talks, crazy adventures, inside jokes that we barely remember, countless memories, and everything in-between she’s become an irreplaceable part of Meredith’s life. This day would be incomplete without her by my side.
Lucas Coleman
Groomsman
Meet Luke - Ryan's youngest brother. Like Ryan, Luke is following a similar career path as their father Jeff, a successful salesman. If you're in the same room with both of them, make sure you pay close attention because they're very easy to mix up! Ryan's hobbies and talents have shown through Luke in many ways, most notably his passion and skill in the game of golf. Even though Luke lives a good distance away from home these days, his positive energy always makes him feel nearby.
Melissa Diehl
Bridesmaid
Meet Melissa - Meredith and Melissa met the first week of college at Kent State but didn't really connect until their second semester Freshman year when they were pranking the guys floors with a water war. Since then, Melissa and Meredith have been through some of life's biggest successes and toughest losses together, and yet they have always remained close. Melissa is one of those friends that once you meet her, you know she will be in your life forever. I am so honored to call her one of my best friends and have her stand beside me.
Austin Roberts
Groomsman
Meet Austin - Ryan's first true best friend. Ever since Austin's family moved next door to Ryan's back in '96, their friendship has remained strong. Austin and Ryan have learned some valuable life lessons together and have always had each others' backs. The countless stories growing up together, good bad and ugly, have shaped the men they have become today. In 2014, they made the drive from Ohio to California together when Austin accepted a job offer in San Diego. Even though they aren't geographically close, Austin will always remain a special person in Ryan's life.
Nicole Boguszewski
Bridesmaid
Meet Nicole - From day one of college at Kent State, you’ve been my chosen sister. Who knew that admiring your bed sheets would lead to a friendship that’s carried me through so many seasons of life? From late nights in a frat house, cramming before tests, to all the ups and downs life has brought us. You remain a constant, a lifelong best friend that's full of love and fun. I’m so grateful to have you stand beside me and I can't imagine this day without you there.
Roger Ward
Groomsman
Meet Roger - The best mixologist in 'The Land'! As former housemates, Roger and Ryan grew close from their passion for sports and AM radio. In 2017 they were accepted as new members to the E.C.B.L, a fantasy baseball league created by Ryan's father Jeff and some of his college fraternity brothers back in 1981. Roger and Ryan have inside jokes that make no sense to pretty much everyone else, but that's what makes their friendship great!
Stacy Sagraves
Bridesmaid
Meet Stacy - Meredith and Stacy met during their freshman year at Kent State second semester, though the exact details are a little fuzzy and almost certainly involved pranks. She’s the friend you can go months or even a year without seeing, and when you reunite, it’s as if no time has passed at all. She’s the kind of chosen family that life places in your path exactly when you need it most and stays with you forever. Beyond grateful to have you still in my life and by my side.
William Scott
Groomsman
Meet Will - The gentlest giant you will ever meet! The senior sibling to Meredith and Katherine, Will exemplifies the virtues of kindness, patience and respect. Ryan coined the nickname "Grilliam" for Will as his cooking and grilling skills are elite. Ryan couldn't ask for a more complete brother-in-law. It just so happens Will is also a video game nerd, which is the icing on the cake!
Cameron Coleman
Junior Bridesmaid
Meet Cameron - Ryan’s first niece and our Junior Bridesmaid, she holds a very special place in our hearts. Since Meredith met Cameron just four years ago, the two have formed a beautiful bond. Cameron may be shy at first, but once she opens up, her sweet, caring nature and wonderful sense of humor shine through. She loves getting lost in a good book and dancing with the Normandy Dazzlers. Her bright smile has a way of lifting everyone’s spirits. We are so excited and honored to have Cameron standing with us on our big day. It wouldn’t be the same without her.
Colin Coleman
Junior Groomsmen
Meet Colin - Nephew and Godson of Ryan, Colin is a bright, kind and curious young man. His resilience in his life journey has been truly astonishing. Colin has recently taken an interest in the culinary arts and is already impressing the family with his delicious dishes! Another fun fact about Colin - he's got fun facts for just about every subject! Colin's glowing personality always makes others smile. He's a little shy at first but just wait until he opens up, you'll be surprised at the interesting things he has to say. Uncle Ryan couldn't be prouder to upgrade him from ring bearer to Junior Groomsmen for our big day!
Ariel Scott
Flower Girl
Meet Ariel - Ariel is Meredith’s niece and twin sister to Sebastian. She brings a spark of joy wherever she goes. She loves playing sports (basketball is a current favorite), dancing, singing, coloring, and spending time outdoors. She has yet to meet a park she didn't love to play at. Though small in stature, Ariel is a huge bundle of energy, love, and kindness. She is always making sure everyone around her feels included. We are beyond excited to have her as a Flower Girl, sharing in the magic of our big day and filling it with her bright, joyful spirit.
Charlotte Coleman
Flower Girl
Meet Charlotte - Also goes by Charlie, youngest niece of Ryan. With her boundless energy and joyful spirit, Charlie has an amazing way of turning even the crummiest day into a great one. She loves reading, coloring, jumping on Nana and Papa’s trampoline, zipping around on her hoverboard, rollerblading, and staying busy with countless other activities. Charlie is also an excellent student with a bright future ahead, and we feel so lucky to have her bringing her sparkle and enthusiasm to our wedding day.
Sebastian Scott
Ring Bearer
Meet Sebastian - Sebastian is Meredith’s nephew and twin brother to Ariel. He’s truly one of a kind. He has a sensitive heart, a stubborn streak, and a loud, joyful personality that makes him unforgettable. Our very own little sour patch kid, and we wouldn’t have him any other way. Sebastian loves playing video games, spending time outside, singing, dancing, and he’s already a seasoned Ring Bearer. We are so thrilled to have him standing with us on our big day; sharing in the love, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime.
Bobby Richards
Officiant
Meet Bobby - Cousin of Ryan and a wonderful husband and father of two sons. Ryan has shared many great memories with Bobby throughout life. From family gatherings growing up to college dorm shenanigans, they always have a great time! A diehard Beatles fan, he has learned a handful of their songs on acoustic guitar, and very well at that! Ryan and Meredith are excited to have Bobby help them tie the knot on their special day!
