Jessica & Charlie
Wedding Party
Jessica Extine
Bride
Jessica didn't actually say yes when Charlie proposed but she did put the ring on so we'll go ahead and plan a wedding. Her favorite hobbies include waking Charlie up, sticking her fingers in Charlie's nose, annoying Charlie while he's driving, and carrying both of her cats against their will around the house. Sometimes she multitasks and does two of these things at once! On a serious note, Jessica almost loves Charlie as much as the cats. He was the first of the three to propose though so here we are!
Charlie Ottinger
Groom
Charlie's first professional aspiration as a youngster was to be a dinosaur. Since modern science hasn't quite made that possible, he sticks to tagging people in puppy videos on Facebook during his free time at work. He also likes to carry the cats around the house against their will. On a serious note, Charlie loves Jessica with all of his heart and can't wait to marry her. It's a good replacement to being a dinosaur.
Juliana Booth
Maid of Honor
Juliana takes on the very important role of third wheel for many couples, Jessica and Charlie obviously being her favorite. Jess and Ju haven't missed a beat with one another over the past few years and we are so happy to have her in our wedding. Look out boys and dads, she'll probably be single. On a serious note, Jessica tags Juliana in more memes than she does Charlie and also sends more Snapchats to Ju. It only hurts Charlie a little, because he knows how much she means to Jess.
Tyler Priem
Best Man
Tyler and Charlie were not always friends until they became gym bros in their early college years. We all know there's no stronger bond than gym bro, so obviously Tyler has to be in the wedding. When he's not selling snakes or buying lifted trucks, Tyler likes to paint along with daytime television shows and buy rare gemstones advertised during the commercials. On a serious note, Tyler and Charlie have been best of buds for most of their adult life, even though they don't seem like adults most of the time.
Kelly Schuetter
Bridesmaid
Kelly often states that she doesn't like most people, and that's why she and Jessica get along so well. Which is a little ironic, but you probably shouldn't judge them for it. The amount of people Kelly has saved in her nursing career is offset by the amount of car accidents she has caused by throwing half-empty Starbucks cups out of her window in rush hour traffic. On a serious note, they've been through so much together and will continue to bond over complaints of men. Men they married. Hm.
Dominic DeVito
Groomsman
Dominic and Charlie go back a long ways. The joke has always been that Dominic was the trouble maker, but in all reality he's only been convicted three times (but he's not afraid to go back, BRO). When he's outside the walls, Dominic enjoys long romantic walks on the beach with his girlfriend, Nadine. He especially likes to throw washed up dead fish at her. On a serious note, Dominic and Charlie have been best friends for a long time and have made entirely too many bad decisions together. Their friendship has turned into one of one-upping each other with insults during holiday greeting texts.
Christina Extine
Bridesmaid
Christina is the sister that Jessica never knew she wanted until Hunter brought her into the family. Christina's day job is in the medical industry, but her evenings are spent in a curious double life as a superhero vigilante/crime lord. She says it's great for business on both sides, and that honestly makes sense. On a serious note, Jessica now knows why having only brothers is WAY overrated. However, they did get to skip the rough phase of growing up together, but their friendship today is no weaker than any other pair of sisters who have been through it all together.
Aaron Judson
Groomsman
Aaron and Charlie have often been accused of being brothers. And, yes, we do term this as an accusation because we're not really sure which one is more insulted by this. On a serious note, Aaron was always super cool to Charlie when Charlie was young and annoying. He could have easily been a jerk but instead he would take Charlie to Taco Bell and have Charlie join him on several failed woodworking projects.
Kaiti Sullivan
Bridesmaid
Kaiti was always that creepy little kid in school so it makes perfect sense that she's a photographer now. And not your typical Instagram "photojournalist." She's like actually pretty good. She gives off a minor crazy cat lady vibe but it's okay because Jessica actually is one. On a serious note, Kaiti drove almost three hours in secret to snap pictures of Charlie's proposal to Jessica, then three hours back home with nothing but a diet Coke. If that ain't friendship then we don't know what is. Check her out at @kaitlynnlouisephotographer on the Facebook.
Casey Ottinger
Groomsman
Casey is actually Charlie's brother, and that's about where the similarities end. Wait, does that count as a similarity? I guess you could also mention that they're both avid Harry Potter fans, except Casey was really distraught about not getting his Hogwarts letter when he was 11. He's still waiting for it. This isn't even a joke and that's what makes this bio the funniest. On a serious note, Charlie respects Casey more than just about anyone in this world, especially the amount of traffic violation tickets he's racked up.
