Sarah & Jordan
Wedding Party
Ashley
Maid of Honor
I met Ashley by chance when we were randomly paired as roommates at Grand Valley State University and I could not be more grateful. To this day, I still think of it as one of the best summers of my life and we reminisce about it often. Since then I have dragged her on countless adventures and she was even right by my side when Jordan proposed!
Andy
Best Man
Andy I met in the engineering computer lab at the University of Akron by chance. I was looking for my first co-op and he just happened to be a co-op at the company I was interested in and talking about in the lab. Without hesitation he had introduced himself and then offered to helped me get the co-op. Little did I know that this was the start of a friendship that has continued to today. Whether it's going on a long walk or watching a weird video from parts unknown in the youtube servers, you can't go wrong with this guy.
Jess
Bridesmaid
My best friend and roomie throughout grad school. I honestly don't think I would have survived getting my masters if it wasn't for her and our weekly wine nights/vent sessions. I miss driving in the car together, blasting music and discovering awesome new songs she somehow always manages to find. If you ask Jordan who I am most likely to get into trouble with he would probably say Jess! I
Badri
Groomsman
Genuine and definitely funny, Badri is my best Indian friend. Our paths first crossed when he relocated to northeast ohio for a rotation in the same plant I had been working in. We forged our friendship over many visits to his favorite mexican restaurant, long hikes, and bar hopping. He was the reason we went to the bar where I met Sarah, he was there when I proposed, and he's been there every year for our celebration of "Badri Day" (the pilgrimage to see him). He always told me he wanted to see an american wedding and I'm glad I can do that for this guy.
Stanley
Bridesman & Officiant
Stan, Jess and I all met in our Kent State Psychology program where we bonded over the difficulties of grad school life. We even roomed together for a brief period and one of my favorite memories was exploring San Francisco together. He is the ultimate wingman and without him Jordan and I would never even have met- he has even become ordained so that he perform our ceremony!
Alex
Groomsman
If a craft beer exists then Alex has probably already tried it and rated it on the untappd app. Likewise if a board game exists he probably already owns it and the expansion. I first met him when the bestman introduced me to him and then we proceeded to party on a Wednesday. He's that kind of guy. Everyone needs an Alex in their life.
Marguerite
Bridesmaid
It feels like I have been best friends with Marguerite forever so much so that I don't even remember the day we meet, but it was sometime in high school. Marguerite is one of my most loyal friends and I can always count on her to drag me outside of my comfort zone in the best ways possible! Like her getting me to go camping for the first time ever, and now I love it!
Ian
Groomsman
Amigo #1 of my high school friends, Ian is the person everyone wants at their party because he's a ton of fun. He's a big talker but also secretly the one who actually can't hang. Whether it's drunkenly tipping a dominos delivery driver $60 or bringing bloody mary mix to a Kings cup game, fun will be had if this guy is there.
Cathy
Bridesmaid
Cathy and I have been friends since high school (also have no memory of our meeting lol) and even when we don't talk for a long time we have the kind of friendship where we can pick up right where we left it. I always know I can count on her for an honest heart to heart and amazing advice when I need it the most. I am also a bridesmaid in her wedding this year!
Drew
Groomsman
Amigo #2 of my high school friends, Drew is most likely a ninja. You will not see him or hear him until it is too late. I had the honor of being in his wedding and of course had to do the same for my wedding.
Ava
Junior Bridesmaid
Sarah's 13 year old niece
Matt
Groomsman
Amigo #3 of my high school friends, Matt is Ex-Amish and probably the only friend I have that may know how to hitch up a buggy. An all around great dude and the type friend everyone needs.
Mike
Brother of the Bride
My big brother who I am honored to have walk me down the aisle.
TJ
Groomsman
Amigo #4 of my high school friends, TJ wishes he was Kirk but is actually Spock. Whether it was arguing in the high school library or trying to best one another in quiz bowl, we always nerded out hardcore. I was part of his wedding and of course had to return the favor. He's a great guy and has a beautiful daughter, Vivian, who is the flower girl in our wedding.
Aiden
Ring Bearer
Jordan's oldest nephew
Galahad
Ring Bearer
Jordan's youngest nephew
Easton
Ring Bearer
Sarah's nephew
Vivian
Flower Girl
19 month old daughter of TJ, one of the groomsman. She is going to make the most adorable flower girl!
