Jessica & Taylor
Wedding Party
Meg Taylor
Maid of Honor
She is a gentle warrior, a wise and loving companion, and being able to know and love her in this life is a true honor.
Chris Voellinger
Best Man
'Bushy' has been a great friend and mentor to me since I met him my freshman year of college. I have never stopped looking up to him as a role model. He took me under his wing after college, and we lived and learned a lot together in North Carolina. He is a supportive and loving man that I'm grateful to have throughout life's seasons.
Ashley Brown
Maid of Honor
The yin to my yang, my twin whom I am so proud of. Once I got caught pushing her over and when I got grounded for good reason she slipped a drawing under my door saying how she was sorry I was stuck in my room. She's a super strong, kind, & creative woman. We love seeing all her adventures across the pond.
Alec Minch
Best Man
Alec is my favorite brother. We grew up together running around our neighborhood playing basketball, football, and jumping on the trampoline. Eventually we graduated from playing to working together, moving furniture with our pops. We used to have some good times on the road, that's for sure. I love him very much and always look forward to our adventures.
Chesler Lindsey Barrett
Maid of Honor
My sister. Though not by blood, she is the Ches to my Jess. We've been through it all - meeting by chance at 18 and hand-in-hand ever since. She is such an enormous help and support in my life - always there to talk, always there to grow. Late nights are the best with Ches!
Alex Pound
Groomsman
AP is my oldest friend in this group. We met early in college. He's the one that got me to come out for ultimate frisbee, which changed the trajectory of my life. AP introduced me to all kinds of new music. He taught me to branch out and appreciate things I never thought I was into. He’s a badass bass player, and musician in general. He's been a big player in my life, and I'm so thankful for that!
Ahsha Mcquain-Lauer
Bridesmaid
Somehow I'm both calmed and excited with Ahsha. She's a bright light and a true joy to be with. A fun-loving explorer by nature and a friend I look forward to loving forever!
Lawrence Lauer
Officiant
Mr. Diesel! Law prides himself on being a loyal friend. He is exactly that. We met in college through frisbee and as far as teammates go, there is none better. Lawrence is an honest, loving guy. He is not afraid to tell the truth; he has kept it real with me too many times to count, and my relationship with him has undoubtedly made me a better person. If you need help finding him, he will be the shirtless guy at the dance party.
Marissa Hannah
Bridesmaid
An amazing friend to Taylor since their college days, and an amazing friend to me since we've met. She's always the first one to check on me; she's always willing to take the extra step in her own life and for those around her. She wants to make things special for her loved ones, and we most certainly feel the love! A real sporty spice beauty that we are so blessed to have in our lives!
Blake Hannah
Groomsman
What’s there to say? Anyone who knows this guy knows that there is nothing but smiles and good times when he’s around. We met in college and played ultimate frisbee together. We competed together in many formats, and he’s been one of my best friends on and off the field. Always ready to correct my behavior on or off the field, and show me love in the process.
Ann Sitler
Bridesmaid
Also a great friend to Taylor for many years, Ann's drive and compassion are only rivaled by her love of joy and honest living. She's one of the strongest people that you'll ever meet, and one of the most fun. Taylor and I had only been dating for about 3 months when we went to Nicaragua with the Sitlers and I'll tell ya - I dare you to find better vacation buddies! We look forward to a long life of loving Ann.
Ryan Sitler
Groomsman
I met Ryan also through ultimate frisbee. I showed up at an ultimate tournament to play on a team he was captaining and I guess the rest is history. Him and Ann are great friends to Jess and I. It's always a real blessing in life to find those people you just click with, especially as couple-teams! Ryan is a pro at making good times happen for everyone, so it’s great to have him on the groomsman team.
Matt Arambula
Bridesman
Co-captain my captain! Matt & I joke about being pre-k best friends in another life. We met through ultimate frisbee, and became instant besties. He's understanding, caring, kind, and I can hardly imagine playing a party tournament without him!
David Balinsky
Bridesman
If you hear us say 'Dr. Dave' - this is who we're referring to. While he was still in vet school, he interned on the farm I was working on back in 2016. A couple of hiking trips later, it was easy to grow closer. He's one of the coolest humans ever. So smart, so calm, so open to the world, so strong, so loving. I could talk to him on a cliffside or a trail for hours and hours and never grow tired of it. He makes me think with a wider lens, and brings peace with him everywhere he goes. I love him so!
