Marie & Jacob
Wedding Party
Abigail Canfield
Maid of Honor
Abby is Marie's sister, built-in best friend, and is the kindest, coolest person we know. Abby has been by Marie's side through everything, and is always quick with a laugh or a shoulder to cry on. She never fails to make us laugh, and she makes every day a little more fun. Around the same time the photo above was taken, when Marie was about 8 and Abby was 6, they started called each other their "future maid of honor". Now, it's not so far in the future! We are so excited and so proud to have Abby by our side on the big day.
Tyler Bellew
Best Man
Tyler is one of Jacob's closest and oldest friends. From riding the bus together in middle school, to playing baseball together for years, to going scuba diving in the Bahamas together, to being each other's best men, Jacob couldn't imagine getting married with Tyler by his side.
Sadie Reimer
Bridesmaid
Sadie is one of Marie's very best friends, and they lived together all throughout college. The above picture is from the very first day they met, as roommates at Florida Southern back in 2017! Marie and Sadie were randomly paired as roommates before our freshman year at FSC, and since day one they have been inseparable. Marie remembers once going out for crab rangoons (which Sadie loves to eat cold). They opened up their fortune cookies, and inside was a fortune that read, "The one waiting for you when you get home will be your friend for life". Sadie truly is Marie's friend for life; she is one of the kindest and most genuine people we know.
Zachary Addair
Groomsman
Zac is Jacob's brother, and has always been there for him. One of Jacob's favorite memories with Zac is visiting him in Colorado while Zac was stationed there for the Army. Zac has been there for Jacob through it all, and even helped Jacob pull off his proposal to Marie!
Callie Golden
Bridesmaid
From the first day Marie met Callie during sorority recruitment back in 2018, she just loved her. Callie is kind, loving, and is one of the only people out there who really gets Marie's dark humor. This photo is from their sorority's big little reveal in 2018. They were paired, and the rest is history! A fun fact about Callie: she helped Jacob plan the proposal, and was there when Jacob and Marie got engaged! It was pouring rain, and, in her little black raincoat, she hid in a bush in the Hollis Gardens in Lakeland to take photos of the proposal. Callie has been such an incredible friend to us, and we are so thankful for her!
Kyle Addair
Groomsman
Kyle is Jacob's oldest brother, and is a wonderful friend. In fact, at one point, they were even roommates. Jacob and Kyle have always been very close, and Jacob's favorite memory would have to be the two of them taking a cruise together to Jamaica. Jacob is so grateful to have Kyle standing buy his side on the big day!
Brooke Miller
Bridesmaid
Brooke and Marie have been through it all; from meeting in the freshman dorms at FSC, to sharing an apartment our senior year. From serving on their sorority's executive board together, to studying abroad together in Spain. From countless late nights studying endless nursing flashcards together, to continuing their silly, ridiculous, hilarious inside jokes when they graduated and started their first big-girl nurse jobs. This picture is from the day Marie and Brooke graduated nursing school at FSC. Brooke has been by our side through it all, and we are so thankful to have such an incredible friend by our side on the big day.
Nickolas Trejo
Groomsman
Nick and Jacob met in high school, and were quick to become good friends. Nick is like a brother to Jacob, and they've had some amazing times together. Jacob remembers a few years ago, the two of them bought an old canoe. They patched it up together, and finally decided to take it out on a lake. There, they almost flipped it! Even in rough waters, Nick has been an amazing friend, and we are so thankful for him!
Taylor Carson
Bridesmaid
Taylor is Marie's oldest friend. They first met in Girl Scouts at Poinciana Elementary, but really found their stride while in the marching band dance line at Naples High! Taylor makes everything a more fun, and brightens up any room she enters; she has truly been with Marie through everything. The picture above is from a band event way back in 2014! Some of Marie's favorite memories with Taylor are from their high school sleepovers, when they would stay up all night just to make up little dances, talk about their crushes, and gossip about the complex political infrastructure of high school marching band. We are so thankful to have Taylor as a friend and a bridesmaid!
Destin Cloud
Groomsman
Jacob and Destin met while working together in the Emergency Room. They were fast friends, and working together was a blast. Jacob's favorite memory with Destin is from the time they went on vacation together to the Florida Keys. They spent the week there jet skiing, swimming, and having an amazing time. Destin has been such a wonderful friend to Jacob and Marie both, and we are so thankful to have him by our side.
