Christian Payne
Best Man
Christian is my guy—the ultimate all-around individual who embodies loyalty and perseverance through thick and thin. As brilliant as he is, he’s also a total goofball, bringing humor and lightheartedness wherever he goes. Despite his talents, he remains humble, even graciously taking the L during our college games. He’s an exceptional person, and I’m truly honored to have him as my best man.
Angelina Smith
Maid of Honor
My sister and I finally started getting along when she turned 17 (better late than never, right?), and since then, we've always had each other's backs. She's been my constant, my cheerleader, and my partner in crime. I'm so excited for her to gain another sibling—even if she finds Jace annoying most of the time. Here's to more laughs, more memories, and keeping our unbreakable bond stronger than ever!
Matt Frimel
Groomsman
Matt is an incredible individual and an unstoppable force of personality. He’s the kind of guy whose honesty and warmth can light up any room, always managing to put a smile on my face. As a devoted Cleveland fan, his loyalty runs deep—an undeniable testament to his character. Matt is not only a genuinely beautiful person but also an unforgettable presence, full of charm and charisma.
Kasey Linkhart
Bridesmaid
I've known Kasey since 7th grade, and over the years, she’s become so much more than a friend — she’s like a sister to me. Her support, kindness, and infectious positivity have been a constant in my life, and I’m forever grateful for her. She's one of my biggest cheerleaders, and I can't imagine celebrating this special day without her by my side. Having her in my life is such a gift, and I feel incredibly lucky to share this joy with her!
Evan Krites
Groomsman
Evan is one of my closest and longest-standing friends. He is a genuine, kind-hearted, and hard-working individual who brings warmth and positivity to everyone around him. I recently had the honor of being part of his wedding, and I am thrilled to have him as part of my bachelor party. Evan’s sense of humor and easygoing nature make him the perfect companion for a good laugh and a memorable time.
Karissa Fish
Bridesmaid
Over the past seven years, I've had the joy of watching Karissa grow from a determined 14-year-old into the amazing young woman she is today. Seeing her chase her dreams and accomplish so much has been truly inspiring. I’m beyond excited to officially gain another sister—especially one who shares my love for teasing her brother mercilessly. Here's to a lifetime of laughter, love, and sibling shenanigans!
James Seals
Groomsman
James is truly one of a kind—there’s no one else quite like him. He’s funny, insightful, and carries a unique charm that makes him stand out. I always enjoy sharing a good laugh with him and deeply value everything he brings to the table, especially his large assets. He’s been an incredible friend, and I’m thrilled to have him by my side for my wedding.
Auriana Hogg
Bridesmaid
My cousin and I share a special bond—not just because we share a birthday, but because we’ve grown up together. Watching her come out of her shell and grow into the incredible person she is today has been so cool to see. I’m so proud of her for working so hard in school and even graduating a semester early—she’s amazing! It’s such an honor to have her love and support on my wedding day. I couldn’t imagine celebrating without her by my side!
Trevor German
Groomsman
Trevor and I share more similarities than differences, from our stubborn streaks to our sense of humor—and, of course, our good looks. He’s an incredible person and an even better friend. Despite being my younger (and shorter) cousin, Trevor is always up for a laugh and knows how to make any moment more enjoyable.
Emma German
Bridesmaid
Emma has been such an amazing friend—someone I can always count on for laughter, support, and kindness. I’m so grateful to have her by my side on this special day. And now, I’m even more excited that we’re about to become family! I can’t wait to share this new chapter of life together as in-laws.
