Brooke Bressler
Maid of Honor
A childhood bestie. We first met right before starting high school together in a tennis class and little did we know, we lived minutes apart from one another! From there, we kicked it off playing tennis all four years together in high school. We continued to stay in close touch through college and still to this day, 17 years later, our friendship is still stronger than ever. We’ve always enjoyed our annual Cedar Point trips, hot tubbing nights, and many double dates over the years. She’s always been a good friend, my go to if I need a good laugh or just having a bad day. She’s the friend where you can pick up right where you left off, no matter the distance or time apart from one another. Brooke currently lives in Chicago and is a Realtor.
Whitney Bowers
Bridesmaid
Another childhood bestie. We first met in middle school and grew closer throughout high school and college at Bowling Green State University together. We shared many of the same classes in high school which grew our friendship and was nice to have a familiar face away from home at college together. She currently is a second-grade teacher in our hometown of Centerville and always nice to see when I return to town. I was standing by her side at her wedding in 2024 and now excited to have her standby my side on my big day!
Ciara Dillon
Bridesmaid
One of my first friends I met when I moved to Columbus in early 2017. We met through Columbus Young Professionals Club and continued crossing paths with one another at events. Then learned we lived very close to one another. Our friendship really blossomed on a CYP Trip to Nashville in 2017. She always made my Monday evenings better by watching the bachelor and bachelorette together when in season. That was a show we instantly bounded on. Then the rest became history. We love traveling together annually with our close Cbus friend group. I dearly miss having her in Columbus, but now she resides in Atlanta working at Delta Airlines Headquarters.
Rachel McNabb
Bridesmaid
Another good Columbus friend who I met at the gym in 2019! We always were on the same gym schedule running at the same time and taking a group exercise class together after work. Yet during Covid, that’s when our friendship really grew through park workouts when gyms were shut down. Active lifestyles are really what grew our friendship initially and wouldn’t want to have it any other way. Covid Era ironically brought out the best of our friendship and the times when we needed each other most. (Ciara joined in on the park workouts shortly after, too!) We always love our annual travels and local races together too. Rachel lives locally in New Albany and is Kindergarten Special Ed Teacher.
Brittany Pollock
Bridesmaid
Another good Columbus friend who I met through a job in 2023. We met professionally at a Senior Industry Networking Event. (We were probably the youngest of the crowd at the time), but we instantly bounded with similar interests and being months apart in age. We were each other’s wing woman at local social events, dating events, and beauty boost events. We would always share stories from our matches on dating apps and lots of laughs looking back. And now our similar stages of life are still lining up, as we are getting married one week apart; she’s up next on Sept 5th, 2026! Bri lives local in Gahanna and still is working in the senior industry as sales and marketing director at a senior living facility.
Cassidy Stephens
Bridesmaid
My brother’s fiancé and soon to be sister-in-law! The sister I have never had and can’t wait to add one to the family February 2027! (Fun fact - we got engaged 6 days apart from each other and proudly showed off our engagement rings together during the holidays! And we’ve certainly been embracing the wedding planning process together too!) While it’s only occasionally, we always have a good time when we’re all together as a whole family. You fill the room with brightness and lots of laughter! Cassidy lives in Jacksonville, FL and works at Citibank.
Matthew Macek

Matt and Dave are brothers. They both grew up loving videos games and have both grown to love the outdoors after college. They lived together most of their time in Columbus until Jenn moved in with Dave in 2025.
Matt Lukach
Groomsman
Met in middle school. Matt has always made it a point to visit Dave wherever he was and no matter how busy we became in life with college, kids, and our careers.
Lee Hufnagel
Groomsman
Another middle school friend were Dave and "Huffy" both loved lifting weights and playing airsoft in their backyards. High school formed into the "Huffy's Bangers" era. If you know you know. Huffy kept in contact with Dave through college and are still friends to this day.
Sam Jordan
Groomsman
Grade school friends who kept in contact even though they went to different universities and ended up in different cities after graduation. Their fathers were both friends growing up and their grandfathers served in the Struthers Police Department together.
Justin Wilkinson
Groomsman
Justin lived across the street from Dave becoming part of the closet knit Angiline Kids growing up. Justin went to Ohio state but Dave always came to visit multiple times a year for the good times and meeting even more good friends. They both ended up in Columbus after graduation.
Jared Buker
Groomsman
Jared was Dave's "Big Brother" when he pledged the fraternity Alpha Phi Delta at Youngstown State. They have been great friends ever since and ended up Columbus together after graduation
Michael McDougall
Groomsman
Jennifer’s one and only older brother! I am honored to have Michael stand by my side and have enjoyed getting to know him the past few years at family gatherings and on the beach to the ski slopes. I look forward to having you as my brother-in-law and visiting you in Florida! (They bond well over this state as Dave used to live in the sunshine state too.)
