Wedding Party
Bekah
Officiant
The woman. The myth. The legend. Bekah Slade. We owe it all to her--the reason we met! Jenna's college roommate, John's high school friend.
Lindsey
Maid of Honor
Jenna and Lindsey met in kindergarten and have been inseparable ever since. But really. They took this to a new level as kids, they didn't need anyone else as long as they had each other. I think they made their parents a little worried? But don't fret, see the very bottom of this list as proof they've managed to gain more friends ;) Linds, we've been through all of life's stages together and there is no one better to stand next to me as I marry the man of my dreams!
Joey
Best Man
Joey is John's cousin/diaper buddy. At 6 weeks apart, they have been best buds since before they came out of the womb kicking and screaming, causing all kinds of chaos every chance they get. From making embarrassing comments in front of their grandparents to zipping around in various engine-mobiles, things are never dull when they get together! Hopefully they can pull it together for the wedding...
Amanda
Bridesmaid
Jenna's cousin, fellow dress-up star from Nonna's closet, and dance choreographer. She may be the youngest of us all, but she's grown into quite the amazingly self-assured and independent lady!
Tommy
Groomsman
John's baby brother who somehow became the tallest of the family? From always trying to keep up with "the big kids", to now being too cool for them and their shenaigans, he has grown to be a gentleman and a scholar.
Katie
Bridesmaid
John's baby sister, who also became taller than him (he must have missed out on the water they were drinking)? She may live states away now, but the two of them somehow still manage to be as close as ever with their hours long phone calls!
Nate
Groomsman
John's unofficial/official older brother. Long time family friend, fellow Marine veteran, and all-around bada$$.
Claire
Bridesmaid
Jenna's Sister-In-Law turned BFF. The one who's always down for anything and everything. Thanks for putting up with Brian so we can keep you! ;)
Brian
Groomsman
Jenna's older brother, board game enthusiast, craft beer fanatic, but mostly the best big brother a sister could ask for! From supporting Jenna's childhood fear of Santa Clause to visiting in the great north as adults, he's always been there.
Aubrey
Bridesmaid
Jenna's first friend in college! Who knew the little 3 dorm room alcove on Lourdes third floor across from the haunted elevator would lead her to the one who made moving away from home worth it?? They were college roommates ever since. Movie nights, burning frozen pizza, eating too much chinese food....you name it.
Chris
Groomsman
Jenna's (not so) little brother. He was the cutest baby, so cute that he was even designated as Jenna's favorite babydoll and was pushed around the house in a play stroller. To this day he still puts up with a lot, but she's his best/only sister so that makes it okay, right?
Nicole
Bridesmaid
Jenna's college roommate since Sophomore year. Having the same major, she was the best study buddy and study abroad partner. They didn't go anywhere without each other for 4 years straight?? Wouldn't trade it for anyone else!
Corey
Groomsman
John's Brother-In-Law and newest member to the family! If anyone can handle Katie and her goofiness, it's this guy!
Jacob
Usher
John's buddy since high-school. This means fun trips to Iowa and enjoying whiskey and cigars late into the night!
Adam
Usher
John's long time bud from high school and go-to friend when you just want to relax and have a good time around a bonfire!
Anthony
Usher
Jenna's cousin who is always down for a laugh, telling funny stories, or being a goofball with!
Brooke
Personal Attendant
Coworker, next door neighbor, workout pal, advice giver, you name it. She's been Jenna's unofficial personal attendant since Mayo brought them together, and now John's ever since we started sharing a living room wall. Who better to fulfill this role?
The Best of the Best
Friends of Honor
Being states and worlds apart, the day would not be complete without these amazing ladies that mean everything to Jenna: Ashley Cara Carolyn Haley Kelly Meagan Molly
