Since then, Ryan and Jake have become very close friends and hangout almost every weekend. Jake is honored to have Ryan be a groomsman.
Maggie Folkerts
Bridesmaid
Maggie (middle) could have easily been both a bridesmaid AND a grooms-woman. Maggie and Jake's moms were best friends when they were born, so they practically grew up together as siblings.

Jake and Gabby are beyond grateful and honored to have Maggie stand up with them with all her love and support.
Jimmy Hunter
Groomsman

Tarissa Satterly
Bridesmaid

When looking for an officiant, they really wanted someone who knew them and their relationship, and could make their ceremony personal and special.
