Jessie & Mark
Wedding Party
Lorelei Moore
Mother of the Bride
My mother, my confidant, my very best friend. She loves me more than anyone ever could and I thank her for it. Being the youngest of four I'm sure I also tortured her the most over these 25 years, but I couldn't have asked for a better mother to torture. She is forgiving, selfless, hardworking, welcoming, and kind. She has sacrificed herself so many times for me and this wedding is just one of those. No matter what you say, I have been blessed with the best mama!
Jerry & Kathy Brand
Father & Mother of the Groom
My mom and dad are the best. There is no way to thank them enough for the example of selfless love they have shown me. If you know them, you know they are the most hospitable, welcoming, and loving team there is. Love you guys!
Elise Doty
Matron of Honor
One of my oldest and dearest friends - she walked with me through many trials and triumphs. She is the truest, most sincere friend a girl could ever ask for. If you ever wanted to know what the perfect mix of loyalty, intelligence, compassion, and beauty looks like, here it is!
Scott Brand
Best Man
From knife fighting with broken toothbrushes to duking it out in the upstairs hallway, Scott has been there since the beginning. He is the best brother and best "best man" you could ask for.
Adriana Chidester
Bridesmaid
Adi is the sister that I played with, fought with, cried with, annoyed to no end, stole her best friends, and continuously give her reasons to make fun of me (i.e. history lessons with Jessie). She and I have been through really hard seasons and really great seasons. She matches my crazy just right and never lets me forget that she is (smarter than me) always there for love and support!
Adil Faquih
Groomsman
The early years of our friendship consisted of unhealthy amounts of sand volleyball, raiding Momma Brand's kitchen pantry, and late-night euchre. Adil is one of those friends that no matter how many years have passed, is always just a phone call away. Can't wait to celebrate with him by my side.
Amanda Mock
Bridesmaid
No matter how many times I had to tell her she wasn't the boss of me, she was still definitely the boss of me. The perfect oldest child looking out for the baby of the family; she does a wonderful job. She's always had my best interest in mind, be it boys, clothes, or life decisions. Amanda is reserved, but encouraging and she's about the only person that always laughs at my jokes. Love you sis!
Ryan Toupin
Groomsman
Ryan has been my roommate and best friend since 2013. He is the most selfless and caring human being I have ever met. We have lived in ten different places all over Indiana, been to countless musical festivals and concerts, and I have to get married to convince his parents we aren't dating.
Amy McCann
Bridesmaid
If you were looking for the best sister-in-law look no further! Amy has been the sweetest since the first moment I met her. She is kind, hilarious, generous, beautiful, great listener, and everything else you'd want a sister-in-law to be. She loves to play games, drink coffee, and once went bra shopping with me...so we're basically best friends now. I could not be more blessed and excited to have Amy as my sister-in-law.
Scott McCann
Groomsman
My sister dated some guys I didn't like, but luckily the one she ended up with is actually pretty awesome. He is a loving father, selfless husband, a spiritual leader, and a great friend. I am honored to have him stand by my side on my wedding day.
Brianna Kirtley
Videographer/My best girl
She is me in another body: brunch enthusiast (Garden Table, Milktooth woot woot), car performers (so many artists heard, so many songs sung), can shop a little too much (do not walk into Forever21 with her), Starbucks obsessed (PSLs have a hold on us), wedding videography date (if you ever want to have fun at a wedding you should watch us film together). Brianna is one of the most thoughtful, loving, compassionate, and intentional friends I have ever had. She lets her hair down and has a blast, but also remembers to make time for real conversations to grow relationships. I couldn't picture this day without you (because I've had you in my wedding plans for a few years now haha).
Hannah Gray
Photographer
Hannah and I met while working a camp at Beulah Beach on Lake Eerie in 2011. It was a difficult summer, but was the start of a friendship that has only strengthened since. She is the most talented artist and photographer I have ever met, and I can't imagine anyone else capturing this special day.
Leiloni Holder
Officiant/Jessie's Aunt
My second mom, my aunt. She took me in when we were practically strangers and we came out the other end great, great friends. Leiloni, Aunt Loni, Lala - she is a friend to all, a hospitable angel, and a great teacher in godly obedience. I am so delighted the Lord called her to ministry and she can lawfully officiate our wedding. She means so much to her friends, family, and congregation.
