J & J
Wedding Party
Molly
Best Woman
Friends since we were tiny tots, we met in elementary school and became soul sisters that day forward! From road trips to sleepovers, and late-night convos, I mean … LATE NIGHT because we always have the best things to talk about and discover together. We have done a lot together over the last 20+ years, so much I could write a novel about our lives and memories. Including but not limited to, study hall shenanigans in school, being a nerd and randomly organizing Molly’s SUPER messy trapper keeper full of homework/artwork, or scaring the crap out of her with a dead animal on the side of the road... she's really a trooper! :) We grew up together and have never grown APART. No matter how far away we live, or how long we go without seeing each other, we always pick up where we left off.
Scott
Best Man
My exceptional younger brother. Always pushing me to be better and always there for me. So much fun growing up with someone that enjoys the same things you do, but still pushes you to grow. Through our ups and downs we always come back to each other as best friends. Don’t know what I would do without him.
Carressa
Bridesmaid
Friends since the time Carressa spotted me dancing on a table from across the room and from that time on, we’ve been friends for nearly 10 years! Pretty dang awesome. She’s the friend I can snuggle with, and also the friend I go hiking/nature exploring with. She just gets me and I get her. From our trips to Hocking Hills to our late night shenanigans/house parties, beyond all the fun we’ve had over the years, this girl is truly an independent, beautiful, honest soul that I always admire.
Ryan
Groomsman
My cousin that might as well be my brother. Whether it is going up to Lake Stupid, traveling to Europe, or just hanging out and having a beer, Ryan is a great friend that I always want to have around. Looking forward to many years of fun to come.
Sammy
Bridesmaid
My adorable friend that no matter what will never turn my hand down when I ask her to dance… :) Samantha, Sammy, Sam, you are my interpretive dance partner and my favorite person to giggle with. From making strange noises and facial expressions at each other to giving each other bruises on a road trip to Rock on the Range, we have made some pretty awesome memories. More recently, watching you grow into a beautiful mother and laughing with you over facetime with Will smiling along with us… I always love being in your company and know that it’s ok to be a complete dork whenever we want. Life would be pretty lame without you in it. Meeeeeeew!
Justin
Groomsman
My oldest friend that I have now known for more than 30 years (which is incredible to think about as a 33-year-old). So much fun and so many memories growing up from preschool onward. It doesn’t matter if I have talked to Justin in months, it’s always as if we haven’t missed a beat.
Alicia
Bridesmaid
My beautiful friend Alicia, will never cease to amaze you with her kind soul, adorable personality, and truly amazing and honest friendship. We met at work when she started her internship and I discovered just how amazing she is with a smart, strong, vibrant soul, I knew she was a blessing in disguise. I'm so excited to see our friendship continue to blossom over the years, knowing there is still more to come! In many big moments in my life, Alicia was there for me. From dropping off flowers at my doorstep when I was going through a terrible breakup, to always being down for hanging out on a whim, she knows what’s most important in life- friendship, and making memories together. I love this girl, through and through.
Mac
Groomsman
From hockey in elementary school to my roommate in the dorms at MSU and beyond, Mac has always been a tremendous and honest friend. Mac has been my friend through so many major events that it feels like my life story would need a full rewrite without him.
Maddy
Bridesmaid
Late-night ice cream runs, jamming out to good tunes on the drive to the market, dancing like crazy until we lose our breath, to our conversations about life and living it the best ways we know how… my how time flies by when you’re having fun together! She’s taught me to be a better cook, and ya’ll know I don’t enjoy cooking much. She’s also inspired me to always look for the next adventure to share together. Maddy from Cincinnati has been there for me, from the time I moved to a new town and she too moved to the same town as me and we were both moving in with our boyfriends who are actually brothers (shout out to Scott Miller for picking a good one), it’s hard to imagine her not being around because life would feel so bland without her in it.
Aaron (A-Ry)
Groomsman
From second grade hockey to highschool, to shenanigans at MSU (which we can’t talk about here), Aaron Anthony Ryan is as warm-hearted of a friend that anyone could wish for. Always there when needed most, it is hard to think of a kinder and truer friend.
William
Officiant
Great friends since college (a friendship mostly forged by killing zombies). Fun, dynamic, interesting, and reliable, Will is a great friend that can’t be forgotten. We always pick up right where we left off.
