Wedding Party
Rachel Roman
Matron of Honor
Rachel is Jessie's older sister and has been in Jessie's life since birth. lol They share a unique sisterly bond as Jessie was born on Rachel's third birthday - much to her three year old self's dismay. Rachel has been there for every step of Jessie's life - overlapping for a year at UK, becoming roommates back in Columbus post-grad, and being her #1 supporter as she came out. Rachel loves BravoTV (seriously ask her about the Summer House drama at the wedding), something Jessie inherited by living with her. Jessie considers Rachel her best friend and confidant and can't wait to have her by her side on her big day!
Alison Reid
Matron of Honor
Allison is not only Kara's cousin, but one of her biggest supporters and closest friends. Over the last four years she has been her rock; always the first to check in, offer help, or show up when it matters most. She’s an amazing mom to Louis and is getting ready to welcome twin girls this June (which somehow still hasn’t slowed her down!). Allison loves to travel, is known for baking the best cookies, and has the biggest heart for the people she loves. We truly couldn’t imagine this day without her by Kara's side.
Katie Finkes
Officiant
Katie and Kara have been friends for eight plus years. Kara had the honor of being in her wedding when she married her husband Brandon, and their friendship has only grown stronger since then. Between wine nights, trading recipes, and their shared love of pizza with black olives, they have had countless laughs together. Katie is also the person Kara goes to when she needs the best advice; she’s thoughtful, supportive, and always has Kara's back. We truly couldn’t imagine anyone more special to stand with us and officiate this moment.
Henry Lockridge
Flower Child
Henry, our nephew, is the son of Jessie's sister, Rachel! Born 8 days after our dating anniversary, Henry has grown up with Kara (a privilege and fact she can't wait to use when he becomes an angsty teen lol). Henry is two years old - obsessed with trucks, airplanes, singing B-I-N-G-O and pushing "oomba" aka roomba around the house. This is Henry's first wedding and flower boy role - but he will mostly be looking forward to showing off his moves on the dance floor!
