Wedding Party
Sarina Slentz
Matron of Honor
Ivana and I met back in 2017 at Frostburg State University, and from the moment we met, we immediately clicked. She was going through sorority recruitment and ended up choosing my sorority to join. As the weeks passed, we both knew that we were meant to be Big and Little: by the next semester, we became that iconic big and little duo. We always say we’re the same person in different fonts because we think, love, and laugh so much alike.

Best Man
I’ve had the privilege of knowing Jonah since he was in high school, and through every stage of life, he’s been one of the most loyal and genuine people I know. We’ve been through more together than I can put into words, and it’s been incredible to watch him grow into the man he is today. I couldn’t be happier to stand beside him as he and Ivana begin this next chapter together.

Maid of Honor
Ivana and I met in college where we shared a few classes together before joining the same sorority together. I never thought we'd grow close until the day she decided to choose me to be her second in command for her presidency. Since then, the rest is history and I gained a best friend that I can lean on and trust with all my heart.

After leaving my first high school in the 4th quarter, I came to Thomas Stone a little guarded and nervous of what to expect. That all changed pretty quickly when I met Jonah (Pudgey).What started with him thinking I was going to be a ‘corn fed white boy’ on the lacrosse team and giving me a hard time about my homemade lunches turned into something more. Between bonding over Paramore and building a close friendship with Nayel and Pudgey, it eventually grew into a brotherhood. That friendship has lasted for years and will carry on for a lifetime. Unfortunately, we lost our brother Nayel early on in this journey of life, but we know he is always with us. Just like me, I know he would be proud, excited, and fully behind Jonah & Ivana as they start this next chapter together.

Bridesmaid
I met Ivana in college when I joined her sorority back in 2017. From our sisterhood days to brunch dates, hikes, cabin and beach trips, binge watching Love Is Blind together, and a boat load of sleepovers; our friendship has grown stronger throughout all these years. I'm looking forward to standing by her side through this magical journey.

I’ve known Jonah since we were kids and somewhere along the way he became family to me. Getting to know Ivana and watching their relationship grow has been special to witness from the beginning. Through all the highs, challenges, and milestones of life, they’ve continued to choose and support each other in every way. Seeing the love they’ve built together makes it clear they were meant for this chapter, and I’m proud to stand beside them on such an important day.

Ivana and I met through Jonah and quickly became friends during our random adventures and shenanigans. Even though the exact moment our story began is still a mystery to both of us, I knew instantly that I had found a best friend. We bonded through hiking and shared love of dancing the night away at music festivals. Thankfully, our friendship has blossomed to daily yap sessions, and she quickly became someone trust for advice. Selfishly, I’m so happy that Jonah met Ivana because that means I found a lifelong friend and ally in her.

One of my favorite memories with Jonah was the summer he basically lived at my house for a couple of weeks. Our friends Cam and Brian were also there, so it was great having everyone together. It rained the entire time, so we spent our days on the back porch playing cards and doing absolutely nothing. Somehow, that made it perfect.

One of my favorite memories with Jonah was going to Disney World for his birthday. Being adults at Disney was absolutely lit, and it made it even better knowing the trip was my idea. I loved getting to help make one of his birthdays special and sharing a memory we’ll always laugh about.
