Jamie & Zeke
Wedding Party
Meg Lally
Matron of Honor
Meg and Jamie met in the Presidents Leadership Class at CU-Boulder. They then both ended up doing Teach for America in New Orleans. She now lives in Kings Beach, California.
Jessica Strauss
Bridesmaid
Jamie's older sister. Jessica has always been strong-willed and a good role model for self-advocacy. Jamie and Jessica fought endlessly as kids/adolescents but have grown quite close as adults. She lives in Colorado Springs with her two amazing and adorable kiddos, Colton and Cora, who are also in the wedding.
Amanda Wentworth
Bridesmaid
Amanda suffered from having two older sisters who thought they were additional mothers to her. Now they're all close friends. She lives in Denver, Colorado with her husband, Ryan, and their adorable Golden Retriever Dakota.
Kelly Niemotko
Bridesmaid
Kelly and Jamie have known each other since the third grade. They played soccer together for a number of years and frequently got into trouble. Kelly served in the U.S. Army in South Korea for a number of years and sometimes goes mysteriously incommunicado; but they always find their way back to each other.
Miranda Schick
Bridesmaid
Jamie and Miranda met during sophomore year of college at CU-Boulder. Miranda started international health-care work during college as she worked with mid-wives in Mali and now has been visiting Rawanda helping to revamp a hospital's Labor and Delivery Department. She currently lives in Parker, Colorado.
Cindy Emejulu Pustejovsky
Bridesmaid
Cindy is Zeke's younger sister and a real firecracker. She's a nurse in Houston, often times working at night to help the family balance all that's needed to make it work. Her two kids, Janelle and Isaac will be coming down the aisle too!
Brian Carter
Best Man
Zeke and Brian met in flight school and found out they got along well, and had a lot in common. Brian lives in Dallas, Tx with his wife Joy, & their three beautiful kids.
Ike Emejulu
Groomsman
Ike is Zeke's younger brother...one of three brothers. Full of insightful questions and possessed of an inquisitive mind, he lives in Sugar Land, Tx .
Izu Emejulu
Groomsman
Izu is Zeke's younger brother #2 of 3. Izu is a movie buff (& full of movie quotes), and also interested in flying and football, he is a Psych nurse practitioner in El Paso, Tx where he lives with his wife Ethel and their adorable son Kenny.
Obi Emejulu
Groomsman
Obi is Zeke's youngest brother #3 of 3. Although the youngest, he's the tallest brother and arguably the most athletic. Obi is completing his residency in Anesthesiology at Rutgers in New Jersey. Hopefully we'll get to see more of him.
Chris Mitchell
Groomsman
Zeke also met Chris in flight school and acted as his flight instructor for a bit. They have a lot in common and shared many a flying story and dating woes...mostly Zeke's, {according to Zeke}. Glad to have Chris & and his wife, the always entertaining Carmel Dunne as part of the wedding party.
Burt Weed
Groomsman
"Ahhhh Burt. What can I say?" Zeke met Burt at his last place of employment. They quickly became close friends...a good friend, colleague and fellow shootist, Zeke can always call/text Burt about anything. Excited to have him as part of the wedding party.
Colton Strauss
Junior Groomsmen
Colton is 10 years old and full of sharp wit, outstanding lego skills- especially in the Star Wars variety, and warmth & kindness. He's a skilled boy scout and reads all books ferociously, recently including the Lord of the Rings series. We're delighted to have him join us in celebrating! Of note, there must be mention of Clause. Clause is Jessica, Trent, Cora and Colton's adorable loving dog. He will be, unfortunately, missing the wedding.
Coralynn Tasker
Junior Bridesmaid
We are lucky to have Cora joining us for the wedding. She's a gifted flutist, a talented singer, a skilled debater and a fierce social rights activist already. And that doesn't even begin to describe this young lady's real gifts to the world. We don't get to see her nearly enough.
Janelle
Flower Girl
Janelle is Zeke's niece in Houston and just started kindergarten. She has plentiful opinions and is full of love and energy!
Isaac
Ring Bearer
We are so glad Isaac will be able to assist with the rings coming down the aisle- though Peppa the Pig has the possibility to cause a distraction at any moment. Isaac is much beloved by everyone who comes in contact with him. He's easily been the favorite at his daycare for years. Now he just started Pre-K. We don't get to see Janelle and Isaac nearly enough!
Kenny
Flower Child
Kenny's birthday is in December and so he is just about 2 years old. Experimenting with walking and maybe even running by now, it'll be great to see if he's willing to actually walk down the aisle. He's going to be a big brother sometime in 2019!
