Jared & Zanna
Meet our wedding party
JoJo Zito
Matron of Honor
JoJo is my youngest sister, best friend and all-around one of the most amazing and talented humans you'll ever meet. She’s also one of the smartest people on the planet, in school yet again to further her education. I am sure she will be in the top of her class with Honors in Speech Pathology. JoJo loves to help everyone she comes to meet and know, and has one of the biggest hearts! She is always up for a good conversation and can find words of encouragement and has truly been there for me through pretty much everything. It’s safe to say JoJo knows me better than anyone.
Stephanie Wright
Bridesmaid
Stephanie is one of my best friends that I met about 14 years ago through my brother and instantly hit it off as friends. From the moment we met, she welcomed me into the family with open arms and made me feel right at home! We’ve since shared plenty of late-night "girl talk" sessions, sushi dates, and shopping marathons (with many more to come)! She has an infectious laugh, beautiful smile and can always crack me up with her silly jokes and stories.
Arianna Hosein
Bridesmaid
Arianna is my beautiful daughter and is a self proclaimed lover of the color lavender, and pretty much anything expensive. She is one of the most genuine people that you will ever meet and loves to make others laugh. As she has gotten older, I have discovered that we are alike in more ways than I like to admit. We are two very detail oriented people, we both can be a bit sarcastic, we are very sentimental, very loyal, and loving. She will never know how much I admire her. Her creativity, her heart, her nurturing spirit, her beauty both inside and out makes her the best daughter anyone could ask for!
Autumn Faulkner
Flower Girl
Autumn is Jared's niece and is a ball of joy who has been stealing hearts since the second she came into the world. She is undoubtedly everyone's favorite little girl as soon as you meet her. She'll greet you with a big smile and gives the best hugs too. She is a very sweet and intelligent 8-year-old from Philadelphia and sometimes makes you forget that you aren't talking to the Head of Particle Physics at Harvard. We’re lucky to have her celebrate with us and just couldn't imagine her not being a part of the wedding.
Saylor Reid
Flower Girl
Saylor is the most sassy, bubbly, and overall best Disney Princess! You never know what this little girl is going to say or what new princess dress she is going to show you next. She is very silly, full of drama and spunk, and a never ending ball of energy! I can't wait to see her pick out her flower girl dress and accessories and I am very excited to see her dressed up as her very own princess soon. I am so happy to share so many memories with Saylor and to have her a part of our day!
Brandon Smith
Best Man
Brandon has known me since Freshman year in High School (without revealing ages, that's quite some time!) Brandon has a huge heart and cares tremendously about his friends. Brandon definitely possesses the gift of gab being an elite salesperson, and could find nearly anything of common interest with a complete stranger, making him a very likable fellow and a joy to have long conversations. A car fanatic and also an aspiring photographer on the side, Brandon was kind enough to perform our Engagement photos seen on this site. <Insert shameless plug!> Residing in Powder Springs, GA, Brandon and his beautiful wife Crystal recently celebrated the birth of a baby boy, Griffen, and are raising him along with his adorable big sister, Ruby, or as we call her, The Gerber Baby.
Nick Travis
Groomsman
Nick and I have been friends since the age of 12! Though life events beyond high school interrupted communication and time spent together, we've always maintained a great friendship and almost a type of brotherhood. Nick has a great sense of humor and is a blast to hang around, not to mention if you ever have computer issues, he's your guy! (He was always assisting my Dad in that department) I had the pleasure of being in Nick and his lovely wife, Allison's, Wedding 15 years ago. Now I get to bestow the same honor upon Nick! Nick and Allison reside in Dallas, GA with their two wonderful children, Aubrey and Austin.
Ross Folger
Groomsman
Ross has been a friend of mine for nearly 14 years having met through the Best Man, Brandon, while we all were working for the same company. Ross, just like Brandon, can carry on the best conversations and is a joy to be around. After leaving the corporate world, Ross spends most of his time flipping houses and has become very good at it! If you know of any opportunities for him, let him know! Better believe Ross will be nearby when it comes time for Zanna and Me to look for a new house!
Alexzander Hosein
Groomsman
Alexzander is the handsome teenager in the house. When he's not secluded in his room gaming, he is usually hanging out with his sister, Arianna. Too smart for his own good, Alexzander is growing into the prototypical teenager, who'll be starting High School this year. We enjoy watching him grow into a young adult and hope that he knows we will always be there for him. Now he'll have more back up in the house and will not be outnumbered by females any longer. Alexzander hopes to be a pilot one day. He has all the resources to get it done and maybe one day he'll be able to fly us to a remote destination on a future anniversary! We are beyond happy that he'll be apart of this momentous event!
James Faulkner
Ring Bearer
James is my youngest nephew and has a smile that can brighten the room. It was said that he resembled myself more so than my older brother, Sean, when he was a baby; so it was only fitting that James be a cute Ring Bearer, just as I was when growing up! James, just like his father, loves playing Madden Football on his PlayStation. It will be a pleasure to have James protect the Ring, like Frodo Baggins!
Wesley
Ring Bearer's Security Dog
Wesley James Booth comes from a long line of Royalty in the Maltese Breed of Canines. Not really, but he acts like it. He is often treated better than Alexzander and Arianna. (Mainly because there's no back-talk involved) Jokes aside, this trusty little guard dog, forever on alert, has played the burglar as well in stealing our hearts. We are honored to have him help guard "The Precious" and be Samwise to James' Frodo.
Jan Booth
Mother of the Bride
There are so many great traits I love and admire about my mom, that it would be difficult and unfair to write about just one. Being strong, generous and optimistic are all some great personality traits, which my mother possesses. Ever since I can remember, my mom has been a strong individual. Even while raising 10 kids, my mom has always been one of the calmest ladies I know, and always soft spoken. Growing up, I watched my mom give her all to make sure her children had the essential amenities to grow happy and successful. My mom has volunteered her time with different schools to assist with their music programs and has blessed a lot of people with her love of music through the orchestra she has conducted for almost 30 years. I am very thankful for my mom to be apart of our special day!
Ken Booth
Father of the Bride
My dad has been a crucial part of my formation even though he probably wouldn't take the credit he deserves. He is a true man of precise time and a dry sense of humor along with some interesting stories. He enjoys spending his down time on dates with my mom, and finding a good bargain on new instruments. My dad taught me the importance of critical thinking, and some of the best life skills that didn't limit me being a girl, and what I was capable of learning. I couldn't imagine this day without him and the support he gives.
Charlia Faulkner
Mother of the Groom
It's a shame that there's a character limit on this site, because the words to describe this woman would be infinite. Charlia, pronounced "Shar-lee-ya", or as she's also known by her middle name Denise, or known by me, Mom. A retired elementary school Principal, she helped turn me into the man I am today. I got my heart and compassion from my mother, and also these stunning facial features! Everyone will be able to spot my mom right away at the wedding, because she will have a mile long smile on the entire time. Even though I'm a grown man, I will be forever Mom's Baby, and you cannot tell her otherwise. We are so happy that she will spend this time with us on such a wonderful occasion.
Gerald Faulkner
Father of the Groom
Gerald Faulkner of Acworth, GA is my Dad. A retired Chief Master Sergeant of the USAF, he made sure that all of his children (all boys) grew up into responsible, intelligent, and promising men. He succeeded in his efforts. Dad is the reason I have such a driven work ethic and critical analysis skill set. Not only is my Dad a USAF Veteran, he is also a retired engineer of Rockwell Int'l and Lockheed Martin. I definitely would not be the man I am today without the guidance and persistence of the greatest Dad in the world.
