Matron of Honor
Jordan met Valerie when she started attending the youth group at Akron Baptist Temple. Valerie was the youth pastor's wife and they struck a bond immediately. Since meeting, Valerie has played a huge role in Jordan's life, becoming a mother figure, and eventually a best friend.
Best Man
Michael's known Dylan his whole life... as he was there the day he was born. Michael and Dylan are brothers and have shared every important life event together. Sometimes they have WWE wrestling matches, but at the end of the day, they're inseparable and Michael couldn't imagine anyone else standing by his side as his Best Man on his wedding day.
Bridesmaid
Samantha is Jordan's younger sister, who both thought they would've killed eachother growing up, but here they are standing side by side on Jordan and Michael's big day. Samantha was as ornery as little sisters come, but over the years they've built a strong relationship, knowing that no matter what happens in life, they'll always have each other.
Groomsman
Josh and Mikey were *technically* in the youth group together, but their paths never really crossed. Little did they know, 8 years later they would be inseparable friends. Some of their favorite things to do are dive deep into God's Word and solve all of the problems of the world. ;) But really, Josh and Mikey became fast friends and we couldn't imagine anyone else standing by his side on the big day!
Bridesmaid
Ella is Jordan's other younger sister on her dad's side. Ella and Jordan have always been told how much they look like their dad and I guess you could say the resemblance is uncanny! Ella grew up in New York, but Jordan couldn't imagine not having her sister by her side on this huge day.
Groomsman
Michael is Mikey's uncle! It's always a good time when we have family gatherings.. someone says Michael and half of the room look up! Michael has had a profound impact on Mikey as he's grown up. You can thank Michael for Mikey being such a huge Notre Dame fan! Michael has been around quite literally from day one, and as Mikey has grown become one of the most important men in his life.
Bridesmaid
Madison (Maddo) and Jordan have been close friends since their senior year of high school. They met in the youth group, and were part of very different crowds, but in the end became the closest of friends as the years have gone on. When Maddo and her husband, Josh, moved back to Ohio from Texas, they became inseparable with Jordan and Michael. Michael and Josh became best friends very quickly and the 4, along with the rest of their friends do life together, with who knows what's to come!

Liz is Mikey's brother's girlfriend. After a couple of years of being shy around Mikey and JL, Liz has become one of our closest friends. Liz is the go-to meme lady of the friend group, and we can always count on her to find only the best memes to make us all laugh!
Groomsman
Larry was JL and Mikey's youth leader when they were students in the youth group that they met. Over the years, Larry has become a close friend to both the bride and groom as they've grown older.

Gavin is Jason and Valerie's oldest son, who JL and Mikey have watched Gavin grow from a little kid to a young man who loves God with his whole heart and seeks every day to be more like Jesus.
Jr. Bridesmaid
Alyson is Jason and Valerie's daughter and has looked to JL as a sister for the last 8 years. We're not sure if she's more excited to have another brother in the family or to have the sister she's always wanted. Aly was always sure to tell everyone that JL was "technically" her sister as she grew up... it took her a couple of years to figure out what technically meant ;) but nonetheless, JL is excited to have Aly by her side on the big day!

Father of the Bride
Officiant
Jason was JL and Mikey's youth pastor in the youth group that they met in. Jason has been a constant father figure in JL's life for the last 9 years, and we couldn't imagine anyone else marrying us.
