Jenna & Caleb
Wedding Party
Jordynne Ketchum
Maid of Honor
Jordynne and Jenna have been best friends since grade school. From tiny Girl Scouts to stud softball players, they grew up right down the street from each other for 12 years! They've stayed close through temporary moves across the state, middle school drama, cheering for different high schools, moving away for college, and even now living in completely different states. They are each other's number one supporter and might as well be family. Softball team rivalries aside, they've been inseparable from day one. Jordynne lives in Boise with her fiancé, Lynsey, and their little white fluff ball, Coconut.
Dustin Stumbo
Best Man
Dustin is the grooms brother... brother from another mother! The two grew up together in their hometown of Crittenden, KY and basically lived at each other's houses. They did everything together - skateboarding, dirt biking, camping, going to car shows... all the stuff boys love to do growing up. After high school, Dustin and Caleb eventually ended up at the same college together where they both found a love for aviation. Unfortunately they had to go separate ways for their jobs, but no distance can come between friends like these two. Dustin lives in Kentucky with his wife, Emily, and their (very large) puppy, Sid.
Delaney Atkins
Bridesmaid
Delaney is one of Jenna's earliest and greatest high school friends. They met freshman year at Bishop Kelly and the bond of being "public school kids" will forever be strong. They played on the same softball team for 4 years and won the state championship two different times. Delaney definitely hit more home runs than Jenna, but we still love her. From football games, high school dances, National Honors Society, tutoring groups and theology classes, four years flew by and these two have stayed connected ever since. Delaney has a passion for fitness and is currently working towards her dream of helping others in this field!
Luke Aleksandravicius
Groomsman
Luke and the groom met during Navy flight school and after being assigned the same helicopter squadron, they became close friends and eventually roommates. Much of their time is spent watching trash tv and playing games like Catan, but they also like to rent boats with their friends and go wakeboarding. They only communicate through memes over text and it's always a competition over whose meme is best. At work they are often called "husband and wife" because they are inseparable (shhh... don't tell the bride). Luke and Caleb will be deploying together this summer.
Emily Savoy
Bridesmaid
Emily and Jenna were each other's very first college friends. They lived on the same floor of their dorm building and bonded right away over their "not so great roommates," eventually moving into the same room which was the beginning of a 4-year stint as roommates! Em carried Jenna's cafeteria tray for her while she rode a knee scooter due to having a broken foot, and Jen helped Emily with little things while she healed from shoulder surgery. What a pair! They became sorority sisters junior year and Jenna stood at Emily's side the day she married her husband, Anthony. The couple currently lives in Washington with their puppy, Marty, while they work towards their PhDs!
Jake Giannini
Groomsman
Jake took the groom under his wing after Caleb checked into HSM-78, their Navy helicopter squadron. Caleb moved in with Jake for two months while he was looking for an apartment and during that time, Jake taught him how to cook, gave him some financial advice and helped him progress through his training in the squadron. These all sound like the traits of a big brother and that is always how the groom has viewed Jake. Currently, Jake lives in Pensacola, FL, instructing new Naval Aviators.
Sophia Perry
Bridesmaid
Jenna and Sophia met during Jenna's second year at Idaho State during sorority recruitment. After becoming sisters, they quickly became inseparable and frequently joked about how much they had in common. Not only did Sophia become one of Jenna's "littles," but they grew to be great friends and even lived together for a year! We love Sophia for her huge heart, love for dogs, and the ability to light up any room with her presence. She is currently attending grad school at ISU to obtain her MBA degree and she has even helped publish a book! She's also an awesome dog mom to the most adorable golden retriever, Theo.
Travis Walker
Groomsman
Caleb and Travis graduated Navy Officer Candidate School (OCS) together in 2015. After OCS, they both moved to Florida to begin flight school in the Navy. Their time in Florida was spent studying and hanging out with other OCS classmates. Every Saturday, Travis and Caleb met at the local Waffle House to talk over some famous waffles and coffee. The Navy sent them separate ways after training in Florida but they still keep in touch from opposite coasts. Travis currently lives in Norfolk, VA and works on the USS Truman.
Gabby Jablonski
Bridesmaid
Gabby is also one of Jenna's sorority "littles" and has been one of her greatest friends since sophomore year of college. Their friendship is truly something special - one that the other can always count on, through every good and bad day. Jenna says that Gab keeps her young, as she is usually the reason the bride stays up past 10pm. It's always worth it though because when Jenna and Gab are together, everyone knows it's going to be a fun time. Gab is the kindest person you've ever met and we are convinced she is going to be famous one day for her beautiful singing voice! She is earning her Masters in Biology at ISU and is passionate about teaching others. Oh, and she loves Christmas.
Kyle Hawkins
Groomsman
Caleb met Kyle in their Navy helicopter squadron, HSM-78. They discovered very quickly that they both share a love for God and appreciated having one another to talk to about their faith. Caleb began attending the same church where Kyle was a member, and from there a friendship was built. They share many of the same hobbies including surfing, working out and breakfast food! They also love grabbing lunch (preferably Indian) after church with their friends. Kyle is currently in San Diego and will be deploying with Caleb this summer.
Elayna Bradley
Bridesmaid
Elayna is Caleb's younger sister and one of his closest friends. They're always planning their next big traveling adventure, something that they both have a passion for. Elayna lives in Kentucky with her puppy, Boone, but loves visiting Caleb at the beach and is actually the very first person in the Bradley family to meet the bride! While Elayna was visiting, they went kayaking at La Jolla Shores which will forever be one of the bride's favorite memories of San Diego. From the moment they met, Elayna welcomed Jenna into the family with open arms. Fun fact - Caleb actually asked his parents for a little sister on his third birthday, how sweet!
Jared Strop
Groomsman
Jared is Jenna's little brother (although he is 6'3") and one of her biggest role models. He has a heart of gold and loves adventure, anything from hiking, hunting, dirt bike riding, fishing, camping, and surfing behind a boat. He is also a huge entrepreneur and has done everything from lawn mowing, t-shirt designing, car detailing, and trailer flipping. Jared met Caleb right after he and Jenna got engaged. All weekend long, it warmed the bride's heart to hear him call Caleb his "big brother." Jared is in his senior year of high school and is excited for his next journey, wherever that may be. Fun fact - Jenna also begged her parents for a baby brother!
Payton Richardson
Junior Bridesmaid
Payton is the bride's younger cousin and one of her biggest role models. These two girls spent a lot of time together over the summers before Jenna moved away for college. Some of the bride's favorite memories with Payton are boating, ice skating, and hanging out at the cabin in McCall, painting ceramics, and listening to Payton sing on stage. Anyone who knows Payton knows that she is a beautiful singer and an outstanding artist! She is currently attending Boise State University's PEERS Program and is excited to use her talents in her future career!
Frank Marcos
Officiant
Frank and his wife Christine have known the Strops before Jenna was brought into the world. Christine and Karen grew up together in Southern California, best friends since 7th grade. They stood by each other's sides at their weddings and continued to be best friends while raising kids and even after the Strops moved to Idaho in 1997. Frank and Christine moved to Idaho in 2013 and the families found themselves, once again, living right down the street from each other! Frank and his family have been such a light in the bride's life, as she knows they would do anything for her, her brother, and her parents. They have become the Strop's chosen family and Jenna and Caleb are honored to have Frank marry them.
