Wedding Party
Jennifer Billington
Bride
IS THE BEST HUMAN ALIVE. #ENDOFSTORY But in all honestly, Jenny is one of the most warmhearted people in existence. A true social butterfly, she loves people and excels at making her friends and family feel special.
Joe Hicks
Groom
Joe is a wonderful person, but if you are reading this, you probably already know! Deeply kind, genuinely generous and truly thoughtful, he can be somewhat reserved until he gets to know you. Once comfortable, he shows off his silly side. He's comical and loves telling quick witted puns and a dad joke or two. Jenny found a gem to marry, that's for sure!
Taylor Christensen
Maid of Honor
Taylor & Jen have been friends for 24 years! The age of their friendship is legally allowed to drink! Now that's some staying power. They grew up as next door neighbors and quickly became attached at the hip. Their friendship has survived many mishaps, like Jen giving Taylor multiple concussions and dislocating her elbow (don't worry, she still dances fine!) or the time Taylor's dogs dragged Jen through the dirt on her first camping trip. Like any true sisterhood, Taylor would blame Jen for any wrongdoing because Jen was less likely to get in trouble. But all joking aside, Taylor is the sister Jen always wanted and is so honored to have her as Maid of Honor.
Logan Powers
Best Man
Logan and Joe met at a party during sophomore year of college and they became fast friends. Throughout their 13 years of friendship and five years as roommates, they have shared many fun times together (and no arrests...that we know of!). They've enjoyed animatedly debating current events, road trips to Vegas, and midnight showings of Star Wars films. Logan recently asked Joe to be the godfather to his beautiful baby girl, Leah. It was an offer he couldn't refuse.
Paige Merrill
Bridesmaid
Paige & Jenny (AKA Shmaige & Shmenz) have been inseparable for 13 years! They met at their first job and bonded over the hellscape that is clothing retail. They have too many inside jokes to count and they both equally think the other is HILARIOUS. They have spent countless hours enjoying tacos at Fuego together (don't forget the extra sauce!) and helping each other through life's rough patches, like when Jenny dropped a piece of carne asada in Paige's car (she's a vegetarian, oops!) . These two connect on every level so much so that they say they are the same person. When Joe proposed he was also gaining Paige for life. #WINNING
Aaron Blue
Groomsman
Joe has been friends with Blue for over 10 years, and they bonded over their love for silly antics. They were roomies at the Grigio and crushed it at the gym together. Blue hooked Joe up with a car dealer gig once which was an experience. They played in the same fantasy football league and partook in road trips to Vegas. Blue now has swapped out the silly antics for husband and father duties to wife Adrienne and sons Bennett and Liam.
Jessica Hicks
Bridesmaid
Jessica is Joe's younger sister and the baby of the family. Even though Jess was the youngest, she kept up with the boys no problem. As kids, Joe recalled shooting BB guns at each other (as siblings do!) and one almost hit Jess in the eye. She didn't tattletale on him, proving she was a bad ass little sister and ultimately gaining his respect. As adults, they play video games together occasionally and Joe has been teaching Jess the ins and outs of car maintenance. Considering Jenny grew up with only brothers, she's very excited to be gaining a sister! Surprisingly, they also share a birthday so they are astrological twins as well. Go Leos!
Alan McCallum
Groomsman
Alan and Joe met at ASU when attending their freshman year and became friends quickly. After leaving the Dorms and living nearly across the street from each other, Alan and Joe became roommates for some time. They usually go Go-Kart racing where Alan holds many all-time top records. Alan and Joe drove from Phoenix to Huston in 20 straight hours, where right outside of Huston they were pulled over. Long story short, Alan was detained, and Joe met Mr. & Mrs. McCallum for the first time, explaining that their son needed bail money.
Janelle Guzman
Bridesmaid
Janelle & Jenny also met working retail in the wee hours of morning shift at Old Navy. Janelle & Jenny bonded over breaks spent grabbing Starbucks coffee & donuts, watching Pretty Little Liars, and baking experimental treats like cake pops. Those cake pops were hideous, but damn were they delicious! Jenny is always impressed by Janelle's passion for food, like the time she accidentally devoured half Jenny's sandwich before realizing it wasn't hers! Janelle has brought so much laughter and joy into their friendship and Jenny is lucky to call her a friend.
Matt Cage
Groomsman
Matt is Joe's cousin and as children they lived across the street, so their formative years were spent together. Their favorite mode of transportation was a highly modified go kart rigged with a wagon on the back and more water guns than hands. They would spend hours joyriding around the neighborhood and getting into trouble. They bonded over Computer games like Star Wars Galaxies, they stay in touch by regularly playing Xbox and Computer videogames.
Nicole Denecour
Bridesmaid
Jenny and Nicole have been friends for over 13 years. Their friendship was solidified as they battled in the trenches of Old Navy's $1 Flip Flop days. Keeping the coworker train rolling, they were hired at Trader Joe's. These two enjoyed countless hours of laughter while stocking produce and many lunch hours driving to Paradise Bakery in Yolanda (Jenny's bright yellow Yaris). They've experienced numerous awesome adventures, like seeing Adele in concert multiple times (fucking legend!) and travelling to states like Nevada, California, and Oregon together. Nicole moved in with Jenny and Joe in March of 2020 so they have all spent lockdown together. It has been a trying time for the world at large, but they manage to keep the laughter going! P.S. PO-TAY-TOES
Chris Cage
Groomsman
Chris is one of Joe's cousins. Like Matt, they lived across the street so they all grew up together, taking part in various shenanigans throughout the neighborhood. One particularly memorable moment was when all the Boys playing on a tall stack of plywood. Joe sprints across the one stack, jumps in mid-air, turns around and displays the popular WWE Suck-it sign. Shortly after a young Joe fell off the stack into a plumb of dust only to be met with laughter after a moan of pain confirming he was okay. Chris currently lives in Florida, but they keep in touch by playing Xbox games, like Call of Duty together.
Thomas Newell
Officiant
Thomas AKA Tommy became one of Jenny's favorites at Trader Joes. They bonded on a love for pop music and terrible yet splendid teen drama series. #PLL4LIFE He then convinced her to join his soccer team to play 11v11. Whoever thought running a full length soccer field was fun clearly did not know the shape Jenny was in. But regardless she had a blast and Tommy was the greatest teammate/Coach. And look at him now! He's actually coaching soccer!
