Olivia & Jacob
Wedding Party
Raelynn Genareo
Maid of Honor
Rae and I's relationship flourished when we had to share a tent at a christian musical festival. We went to high school together but our friends were not friends, little did I know how much fun I was missing out on without her in my life. She adds spunk to my life and has been a fantastic friend. I love her very dearly and am so excited to have her as such a special role on my wedding day!
Aaron Shaw
Best Man
I can't begin to explain how lucky I am to have a cousin and a friend like Aaron. Since as far back as I can remember, I have always looked up to Aaron. He is the most spirited influence on me, and has taught me so many values simply by being a great example. Although he resides in Ohio, it feels like he is a neighbor with how much we get to see him. Aaron taught me how to brew beer, and has helped me grow an appreciation for good live music. He invites me to spend time with his friends who also serve as an example of how great friends treat each other. I could not be more excited to have my cousin Aaron stand next to me that day.
Danielle Degilio
Matron of Honor
Danielle has played a "big sister role" in my life. I love all of our deep talks about God and every other topic (there is no topic we haven't covered). So many of our times together end up going late into the night. Danielle has pushed me to follow my dreams. She is such a strong woman in so many different ways. I am truly blessed by her friendship.
Hunter Weston
Groomsman
Hunter was Jake's roommate during Junior and Senior year at Grove City College, and a member of Alpha Sigma. Hunter was a huge influence on me in College. Taking many of the same classes Junior year, we spent a lot of time walking to class and talking about life. Whether you like it or not, Hunter has always been one of the most blatantly honest people I know. Even if I didn't want to hear it, many times his honesty was just what I needed to get myself back on the right path. Even though he lives over three hours away, I know he would be here for me if I needed him.
Rachel Creswell
Bridesmaid
Rachel adds such joy and life to everyone she meets. We met at YWAM where we instantly became best friends. I loved serving alongside her and she has made a forever impact on my life. Fun fact Rach and I shared a bunk bed for 3 months and a double size bed for 2 months. We only ever fought once and it lasted only a few hours. Hopefully Jake and I can learn from that relationship!
Micah Koegler
Groomsman
Micah and Jake grew up as cousins and spent countless gatherings making up different games to play while passing time in the basement. Micah has been a great influence in my life, mostly while spending three overlapping year at Grove City. He has supported me and my relationship with Olivia since the start, and we look forward to spending time with Micah often at all the family gatherings and parties.
Candace Renicks
Bridesmaid
Candace and I's friendship flourished my senior year when we were in the same Bible study. Candace has such a kind soul and a goofy sense of humor. Our time together is typically filled with deep talks in her driveway, dancing like no one is watching, and narrating movies we've seen 100 times before. I am so thankful for her in my life.
Josh Drum
Groomsman
Josh went to Evangel Heights Christian Academy and graduated with Jake. Some may say Josh spent too many nights at the Jones household during high school, but I would disagree. Every time Josh would come over, we would spend way too much time playing video games, but that's what gave me so many great memories with him. Josh would always be the one to push me out of my comfort zone, and encourage me give my full effort in so many situations.
Joslyn Hawley
Bridesmaid
Joslyn is my little cousin. Growing up she took a lot of jokes from her big brother and I but she accepted being in the wedding so she must have forgiven me. Jos is such a beautiful young women. I have loved seeing her grow into who she is today. I am so proud of her and I hope we never become too busy to do fun cousin dates!
Mike Kertland
Groomsman
Mike was a part of Jake's housing group, Alpha Sigma, at Grove City College. From RA to Chaplain, he has been a great influence on me. I have always seen Mike as a spiritual and intellectual rock. I could always go to Kertland to help me with my understanding of the gospel and interpretation of life's challenges. Him and his wife Anna have welcomed Olivia and Jake as great friends, and they support us as a team.
Bethany Jones
Bridesmaid
Bethany is clearly stunning but also has a heart of gold. She adds a sweetness to the room and makes sure everyone feels "known". Any time with Bethany is a fun time and I am excited to spend more time with her throughout life. I can't wait to have her as a little sister!
Jake Santucci
Groomsman
'Tucci' went to Evangel Heights Christian Academy and graduated with Jake. He has been Jake's housemate since the start of 2019. Not only has Tucci been the easiest person to live with, he has been very supportive of Olivia and Jake. We have asked him to live in the garage after Olivia moves in, but we don't think he'll take advantage of that. I will certainly miss our sometimes endless conversations as housemates.
Hannah Jones
Bridesmaid
Hannah will soon be an actual big sister to me! I have enjoyed getting to know Hannah over this past year. I love how passionate she is about everything she does. She is fun, spunky, and full of laughs! Fun fact, we are getting married in the same year so it is double the excitement! I can't wait to someday be having babies at the same time!
Jacob Rogalski
Groomsman
Rogalski, known to me as 'Rigs', is the only person to have attended the same schools as me for my entire life. Having attended EHCA and GCC together, along with being my roommate freshman and sophomore year, I can truly say I have the most memories with Rigs. He has been there for me and has seen me grow spiritually and mentally throughout my entire life. Rigs was always there to help me in times of struggle and frustration, and had held me accountable to me actions. We look forward to when Rigs moves back to Pennsylvania.
Rachel Drum
Bridesmaid
Rachel will soon be my cousin. She is such a quality person to spend time with. I have loved all the camp trips and nights at the farm to laugh and spend time together. Rachel has welcomed me with wide arms and has gone above and beyond to support Jake and I's relationship. I am so blessed by her and her friendship thus far!
Caleb Drum
Groomsman
Caleb Drum is a cousin of the groom. He has been a part of the family since getting married to Rachel in 2014. Caleb has been a great influence on me through the last few years. I have enjoyed every minute of brewing beer and playing video games with Caleb. I am honored to have him as a part of our family, and to have him stand by our side that special day.
