Sara Shewman

Maid of Honor

My very best friend since middle school & the only other person besides KC that holds all my secrets. I moved into her neighborhood in 7th grade, rode my bike up next to her while she was walking a dog, and demanded her friendship. I can't put into words how lucky I am that she obliged. She's one quarter of our high school friend group SJJS & my favorite person in the whole world.

Elayna Eldridge

Bridesmaid

KC's amazing sister & one of the funniest people I know. I will never forget when we met on the way to the NY State Fair and she & KC were quoting Spongebob while crying from laughing so hard. She bought me a friendship bracelet that day and we've been getting into trouble ever since. I cannot wait to finally, officially have a sister and I'm so lucky it's Elayna!

Jenny Garner

Bridesmaid

Another quarter of SJJS, Jenny & I bonded through school musicals, hiking, and our love for Olive Garden. We've went on countless photography adventures where I solely took portraits of her for my art class portfolio. From concerts to beach trips in Maine & Maryland, Jenny & I have had a lot of fun together!

Sara Sheehan

Bridesmaid

Another fourth of our SJJS friend group. Sara (aka Para) & I became friends in Odyssey of the Mind in 7th grade. Our friendship grew through summer nights as we all sat on a tarp in her front yard around a citronella candle & yapped. It was an honor to be in her wedding & I am so blessed she is a part of mine.

Aiyana Kathcart

Bridesmaid

Aiyana & I were introduced completely by chance when we both picked the same amazing apartment in college. Roommates to instant friends - Aiyana is one of the kindest and smartest people I know. Plus, she can binge The Office with me like no one else. She has taught me so much about life & myself, and I am so glad the universe brought us together.

Ciani Rapley

Bridesmaid

My Little in my sorority & partner in crime at Mansfield - we've certainly had our fun. We've shared lots of experiences, from costume parties, to fits of laughter, to getting through a rough semester by building houses in Sims 4. She's funny & real with me & the best cook I know. I am so thankful to have her in my life.

Grace Johnson

Bridesmaid

KC's younger cousin on his mom's side. Gracie & I were immediate pals when we met at a family reunion years ago. I've never had a little girl in my family that looked up to me until her, and I swear she is the most excited for this wedding out of everyone.

Jordan Sexton

Best Man

My best man - Friends since grade school with lots of adventures growing up. The greatest fishing buddy & friend I could ask for.

Corey Grace

Groomsman

Always in my corner and watching my back on the force. A great friend through & through.

Cody Drost

Groomsman

Met in our fraternity in college but more like a real brother to me, a very free-spirited and equally open-minded man.

Paul Harrison

Groomsman

Also my frat brother, he's an extrovert if I ever met one. Always available for deep talks or late night video game & laughs.

Brandon Brace

Groomsman

For as long as I've known him, he's always down for anything. A true ride-or-die friend, and a hell of a handy-man.

Barbara Ackerman

Flower Girl

Or should I say "Flower Granny"! Barb is the bride's grandmother on her mom's side & saw other flower grannies on Facebook. She wished for the role & her wish was granted!

Rose Trank

Flower Girl

Our "Flower Grammie"! Rose is the groom's grandmother and jumped up & down with glee when offered this co-role. We are so excited to have our amazing grandmothers included in our party.
