Wedding Party
Mindy Benjamin
Bridesmaid
Mindy and I met in college when I was lucky enough to pair with a nursing major in Anatomy and Physiology Lab. We've been friends for 20+ years. She has seen me at my worst and best, my highest and lowest. She has a unique gift of making me laugh through my tears and making me know I am never alone and that i am NORMAL. She has always been there when I needed her most. She is my bestie.

Sheri and I met when I was her daughter's Girl Scout Leader and quickly grew close. She is kind, generous, smart. She and her husband, Dale, are not just my friends. They are my family.
Josie Vaughn
Maid of Honor
My beautiful daughter who is smart, headstrong, and passionate. I'm so proud to have to had a part in raising such an amazing young lady.
Vincent Stroud
Best Man
I met Vincent when I was in the fourth grade. We were instantly friends. We were in choir, musicals, and show choir together during our high school years. He has walked with me through some of my most difficult and joyous times in my life. He has become more than a friend to me, he is family.
Adam Ashford
Groomsman
Adam is my youngest brother. He is almost exactly 10 years younger than me. Adam has always been someone who I could say anything to without fear of judgement. Not to mention that he has a way of making me laugh no matter what mood I'm in. Everyone needs someone like Adam in their life and I am lucky enough to call him my brother
Colton Jackson
Groomsman
Colton was one of my students while I was teaching at Cincinnati Christian Schools. This young man was my right arm for four years. I spent countless hours with him, My intention was to mentor him to prepare him for his next phase in life, Ultimately I ended up learning more from him than I could have ever imagined.
Max Vaughn
Groomsman
Max came into my life a little over a year ago. He is Jen's 17 year old son, When Jen and I began dating Max was understandably protective of his mother. This told me two things. First, that he loves her very much and secondly, it was very important that he understand that I love her too. As a result we have begun building a close friendship. He has bent over backwards to welcome me into the family and for that I will be forever grateful.
