Matron of Honor
Pam is fulfilling two roles. She is the Mother of the Bride, but also standing as Matron of Honor. Growing up as the only child, Jesse viewed her mother as an authority figure when appropriate, but also, as a best friend she could confide in about her latest crushes, and the woes of teenage-hood. As Jesse's time as home before college grew closer and closer, Pam and Jesse cherished the remaining time together with backpacking trips, special meals, and many nights watching their favorite TV mother-daughter pair, the "Gilmore Girls" (for whom, consequently, Pam and Jesse were often nicknamed). Although Jesse is now an adult, Pam and Jesse have remained, and always will be, best friends.
Maid of Honor
Corey was born and raised in Marquette, MI--also Jesse's hometown. Corey met Jesse when they were about 12, during a sleepover at a mutual friend's house. What we did at that sleepover is pretty much lost to history, but likely involved a movie starring an early 2000's heart throb like Heath Ledger or Shane West and eating frozen pizza. Over the years, as tastes in men and food matured, so did Jesse's and Corey's friendship. With a mutual interest in everything from music and Buddhist meditation to traveling and the outdoors, Corey and Jesse are always plotting their next big adventure!

Paxton is also the ring-bearer for the wedding ceremony on 9/2.
Groomsman
Tyler is the second oldest of the three brothers. Whether it be baseball, basketball, or football, Dane learned how to play each sport from his older brother Tyler. Tyler currently resides in St. Joseph, Michigan, with his fiancée, Dina.
