Wedding Party

Jolie Koontz

Maid of Honor

Jolie Koontz is Josie’s only sister and lifelong best friend. The two are just 13 months apart so they grew up very close. Jolie is the only person Josie ever imaged as her maid of honor!

Keegan Ferguson

Best Man

Given the nickname 'Goose', Keegan is Jake's best friend. From childhood to now, when Jake thinks of his best friend, he thinks of Keegan. Jake doesn't know where he would be without Keegan and he is super happy to call him his Best Man.

Peanut

Flower Girl

Our groomsman, Ben, has a wonderful little daughter, who they call peanut. She is two years old and the most special little girl in our lives. We are so honored to have her in the wedding as well!

Donovan Koontz

Ring Bearer

Donovan is the son of our Maid of Honor Jolie, and Josie’s only nephew. Little Dino is a blessing to both Jakob and Josie’s lives and they are both so happy to have him apart of their big day.

Macy Goble

Bridesmaid

Macy is one of Josie’s childhood and lifelong friends. They met in intermediate school and have remained close throughout the years. Macy's family is Josie's second family! Fun fact: Macy is Josie’s tallest friend!

Ben Gibson

Groomsman

Through The Jar, Jake has met one of his best friends, Ben. Ben and Jake both are plumbers and have started that journey together. Ben is always willing to lend a helping hand and the two are there for each other like no other!

Audrey Himes

Bridesmaid

Audrey and Josie met through softball as kids. Throughout their school years they played together and became best friends. Josie would consider Audrey her most “mom” friend! She is getting married later this year to her fiance Aron!

Chase Donovan

Groomsman

Macel Lemler

Bridesmaid

Macel came into Josie’s life during college and quickly became a big part of it. Josie says she wouldn’t have made it through college and the other life hardships without their friendship.

Trenton Peevler

Groomsman

Trenton is Jake's cousin, but they are so close it's like they are brothers! Through the years, they have always stayed close and connected despite the distance between them. Jake loves to Facetime and play video games with Trenton when he has the chance.

Jolie Rabideau

Bridesmaid

Jolie, like Macel, came into Josie’s life during her time at Taylor University. Jolie, Macel, and Josie are just three peas in a pod! It’s a blast when they are all three together. Her memories at Taylor wouldn't have been the same without Jolie.

Paul Luft

Groomsman

Jake met Paul during his time at Ball State University, where they became roommates. Despite their differences, they became great friends and Jake was even in Paul's wedding October 2022! Paul is a country music artist in Nashville, TN and we are excited to have him here for the big day.

Melody Marlow

Bridesmaid

Melody is Josie’s closest cousin as there are very few girls in the family! They grew up playing house and staying the night at grandmas together. Melody is a student at ISU so Josie doesn't get to see her very often anymore. Having her in the wedding is such an excitement for Josie!

Mitch Case

Groomsman

Mitch is Jake's brother, and one of his best friends. Growing up super close together, Jake couldn't imagine not having his brother with him on his big day.
