Ava Hurd
Maid of Honor
I am currently working at Tremont Elementary School as a Behavioral Tech while I get my teaching license. I've known Kerynn since 6th grade travel soccer. We became close instantly after she threw a water bottle at me during one of our first soccer practices together. I am so happy to see Kerynn get married to the love of her life, Noa's father, and her best friend. I'm so blessed to be apart of their special day and can't wait to see how beautiful she is going to look on October 11th!
Brianna Philebaum
Bridesmaid
I am currently in my fourth year working as a nurse with my sweet babies in the NICU. Believe it or not, I have known Kerynn her entire life because I’m her aunt, not her cousin, her aunt. Although we have a bond more like sisters. Kerynn stood by me on my big day and I’m SO excited to do the same for her. I can’t wait to spend the first day of your forever with you and Jakey!!
Brennan Suttle
Bridesmaid
I'm Jake's little sister! I couldn't be happier to see Jake and Kerynn's relationship flourish like it has, and I couldn't be more excited to be a part of this beautiful wedding. I can't wait to see them grow together! From the beginning, I knew Kerynn was going to be the person for my brother and now their beautiful daughter as well.
Kiersten Hall
Bridesmaid
Being a part of your special day as a bridesmaid means the world to me. I’ve looked up to you for as long as I can remember. I was there from the very beginning with Jake riding around with you in the car, listening to you talk about him. I remember us even planning Noa before she was even a thought it’s like we already knew you two would have a beautiful daughter who would reflect all the best parts of both of you. I’ll admit, 15-year-old me was a little jealous when Jake started joining us on our rides and dinner dates, but it didn’t take long for him to grow on me like he did everyone else. He’s treated me like a little sister ever since. I wish Kerynn, Jake, and Noa a life full of laughter, love, and unforgettable memories. I love you all so much!

Courtlyn Fields
Bridesmaid
I currently work at Midwest Retina with Kerynn and plan to start school next year to be a Radiology tech. I met Kerynn 3 years ago when she convinced me to go to a zucchini festival with her and Jake then trapped me into going to church with her the next day. Since that Sunday morning sermon she has become my best friend and my sister. She is the most wonderful person to be around, and I could not feel more blessed to be apart of this beautiful day! I love you KG...I mean KP
Jared Knight
Best Man
I’ve had the honor of calling Jake my best friend since 3rd grade—but more than that, he’s a brother to me. From late-night talks to life’s biggest milestones, we’ve been through it all together. Being asked to stand beside him on his wedding day is one of the greatest privileges of my life. I couldn’t be happier to see him start this next chapter with Kerynn, who makes him laugh harder, smile wider, and somehow keeps him in line. I’m incredibly grateful to celebrate this moment with both of you.
Merrick Clay
Groomsman
Hello everyone, I'm Merrick! I'm currently a banker, and I have got to give a huge thanks to Jake because he really pushed me to pursue the path I'm currently on. He showed me the ropes and contributed immensely to my career development. I've had the pleasure of knowing Jake for about eight years. We first crossed paths in our freshman year of high school, and it was an instant connection. From drinking Shaq Juice to battling it out on Fortnite Mobile, we've shared countless laughs and unforgettable memories. As we've grown, Jake has not only been an amazing friend but also a true role model in my life. Whether we're out fishing or enjoying a relaxing evening at the cigar lounge, I cherish the moments we spend together. I'm super excited to witness the next chapter for you and your family. Cheers to love and friendship!

I'm one of those people that will peer pressure you into stupid stuff but make sure you get home safe.
Jacob Nelson
Groomsman
I first met Jake back during cross country at Groveport, ever since then we’ve gotten into trouble together. It’s not everyday you find a friend for life. Jake is a great dad and I’m so happy to see him and Kerynn getting married.
Jacob Johnston
Groomsman
I met Jake our first day of fire academy and honestly have gotten to know him well the past 8 months. From him helping me study through EMS to taking me to his church, I know Jake is a great guy and I can’t wait to see him and Kerynn enjoy the rest of their lives together!
