Wedding Party
Sierra Strawser
Maid of Honor
Sierra and I go all the way back to middle school cross country, when we were just trying to survive long runs, shin splints, and laughing through it all. Somewhere along the way, she became so much more than a teammate she’s my best friend and someone I can always count on. She’s the kind of friend who’s always there steady, loyal, and somehow always knows exactly what I need. I had the honor of standing beside her as a bridesmaid on her wedding day, and I can’t imagine my own without her right there with me too.
Lexi Poe
Matron of Honor
Lexi and I first met in high school, where we bonded over countless history and math classes (and thankfully, her being way smarter than me!). She's been by my side through it all keeping me grounded, motivated, and always laughing. I had the privilege of standing beside her as a bridesmaid on her wedding day, and I'm beyond grateful to have her now standing by mine. Lexi's kindness, honesty, and brilliance have made her one of my closest friends, and I couldn't imagine this day without her.
Stefania Mladenoff
Bridesmaid
Stefania is my middle sister and one of my built-in best friends. She's been part of my life since I was four years old, and we've truly been doing life together ever since - through every phase, every adventure, and every challenge. From childhood memories to grown-up milestones, Stefania has always been there, and I'm so grateful to have her standing by my side on one of the most special days of my life.
Anika Mladenoff
Bridesmaid
Anika is my youngest sister- born when I was eight years old - and we have been doing life together ever since. Even with the age gap, we've always shared surprisingly similar personalities, which means lots of laughs and our fair share of butting heads over the years. But through it all, she's been one of my biggest supporters, and I wouldn't want to walk into this next chapter without her by my side.
Payton Guyer
Bridesmaid
Payton and I met during our time at Coastal Carolina University, brought together by our amazing (and deeply missed) friend Kirsten Franz. From the start, it felt like life had a plan - especially when we found out our home towns were only 45 minutes apart and we share the same birthday, just one year apart! Payton has been one of my closest friends ever since, and I'm so grateful for the friendship, support, and laughter she's brought into my life. I couldn't imagine this day without her standing beside me.
Daniel Glick
Best Man
Daniel and I have known each other since before 2017, but it was around that time our friendship really began to take shape. We started out as coworkers, and over time, our bond grew stronger as we began spending weekends together and eventually became housemates. Though life took us in different directions when Daniel left for the military, our friendship never wavered. He has been one of the most dependable and loyal people in my life, and I’m honored to have him stand by my side as my best man on such a meaningful day.
Ben Smucker
Groomsman
Ben is my brother and the person I’ve quite literally known my entire life. From the earliest days of childhood chasing each other around the farm, sharing chores (and the occasional manure fight) we built a foundation of memories, resilience, and brotherhood. Like most siblings, we’ve had our disagreements, but even the toughest moments only made our bond stronger. As life took us in different directions for a few years, we naturally carved our own paths. But in recent years, we’ve reconnected deeply spending more time together on the golf course and in honest conversations about life, family, and the future. Ben is fiercely motivated and always ahead of the curve especially when it comes to XRP. (If you know, you know.) His drive inspires me, and I’m proud to have him standing by my side.
Josh Jenkins
Groomsman
Josh and I first connected around 2020 through a professional relationship, with Josh serving as a financial advisor and helping me navigate several important decisions. While our connection began strictly as business, it wasn’t long before we discovered shared interests that brought us together outside of work. From golf outings to cycling, gym sessions, and beach trips to Florida, our friendship has grown naturally over the years into one I truly value. Josh is someone I trust, respect, and enjoy doing life with and I’m grateful to have him by my side on this special day.
Austin Strawser
Groomsman
Although Austin and I have known each other for less than a year, our friendship has developed quickly and meaningfully. We first connected through regular workouts at the gym, and over time, those shared routines and conversations laid the groundwork for a strong and genuine bond. Despite the relatively short time we’ve known each other, Austin has become someone I truly respect and appreciate. I’m looking forward to the memories ahead and am honored to have him be part of this significant moment in our lives.
Dustin Alexander
Groomsman
Dustin and I first connected in 2021 or 2022. While our early interactions were brief usually just passing at church it didn’t take long for a genuine friendship to form. Bonding over a shared appreciation for a good cigar and a glass of bourbon, we began spending time together in meaningful conversation, often discussing business ideas, life goals, and entrepreneurial ventures. Though our schedules can be busy, and family life keeps us both grounded, the time we do spend together is always intentional and valued. Dustin is a thoughtful, driven, and insightful friend, and I’m grateful to have him standing beside me on such an important occasion.
Harper Leach
Flower Girl
Harper has been a special part of my life since the day she was born. I’ve had the joy of watching her grow up over the past ten years from newborn snuggles to the smart, funny, and beautiful girl she is today. She’s practically family to me, and I couldn’t imagine walking down the aisle without her by my side. Having her as my flower girl is such a full-circle moment, and I know she’ll bring so much joy and sweetness to our wedding day.
Juliette Leach
Flower Girl
Juliette (Juju) has also been such a big part of my life since the day she was born. For the past eight years, I’ve had the privilege of watching her grow into such a sweet, spunky, and lovable girl. Being able to see both sisters grow up and now having them as my flower girls is such a special honor. Juliette’s bright personality and joyful spirit are sure to light up the aisle and make our wedding day even more meaningful.
William Leach
Ring Bearer
William has completely stolen my heart since the day one. He’s full of energy, curiosity, and the biggest smiles—and right now, he’s absolutely obsessed with being 4 than 5. By the time of the wedding, though, he’ll officially be 5, and I can’t think of a more exciting way to celebrate than having him walk down the aisle as our ring bearer. His joy and playful spirit are sure to make the day unforgettable.
Jack Leach
Ring Bearer
Jack may be the baby of the crew, but he holds such a special place in my heart. I’ve been with him since he was just 3 days old, and it’s been the sweetest gift to watch him grow and change so much already. He’ll be 2 in December, and by the time of our wedding, he’ll be toddling his way into the role of ring bearer. Having him be part of such a special day feels like the perfect way to celebrate the bond we’ve shared since the very beginning.
