Jordan & Clint
Wedding Party
Jordan Nicole Kemp
Bride
Conservationist, National Park lover, road trip enthusiast, rock nerd....I'm them all. I've always dreamed of becoming a geologist and working for the National Park Service, and I'm slowly making these dreams a reality. I've always had high standards for a husband after growing up with the most loving, romantic parents, and I couldn't be more happy to have found exactly what I was looking for in Clint. My wish for us is that we always keep our lives exciting, adventurous, and full of passion. I want my path in life to be the one less traveled, and I can't wait to have Clint lace up his hiking boots and hit the trail with me.
Clint Richard Smith
Groom
I am an architectural engineer who spends every spare moment hiking, fishing, or camping. Since Jordan came into my life, she has ignited my passion for nature and all things conservation. I had no idea just how much I needed her and it didn't take long for me to know that she was it for me. Jordan truly gives me life and has taught me what it feels like to be genuinely loved and cared for. We have so many great things planned for our future and I am so lucky that I get to do them all with her. My wish for us is that we always keep a positive outlook on life and take on our goals together. We are two very passionate, driven individuals, and together we will be unstoppable.
Alexia Golden
Bridesmaid
Alexia and I met freshman year of college at our first President's Scholar meeting and we also lived across the hall from one another in the Honor's College at Indiana State. While it may have taken us an entire semester to say more than "hello" to one another (cue two people who are not good at making friends), once we made a pact to stick together the rest was history. Lex and I have the kind of relationship that is easy, pure, and constant. Our memories together are some of my favorite, and I will always cherish the summer of 2020 (iykyk). She's picked me up on my worst days and I know that I can trust her with absolutely anything, she's the kind of friend everyone needs in their corner.
Bailey Kemp
Bridesmaid
Bailey has been a part of my life since the day that I was born, and I don't know where I would be today without her. We grew up together as cousins, but it makes it easy when your family members are also your bestfriends. Bailey gives me strength and courage to pursue my dreams, and never lets me forget how loved I am. She always chooses to see the good in people and spreads kindness wherever she goes. Despite challenges Bailey has faced, she continues to put her whole heart into everything that she does. I couldn't be more proud to call her family.
Emma Hanebutt
Maid of Honor
Emma moved to my school in the second grade and I fought with another girl about who would get to be her bestfriend...here we are 16 years later! Em and I went on to be college roommates for 4 years and she was certainly my better half, my saving grace, and the most solid person in my life. She took me to get my first tattoo (sorry mom), and after my hardest breakup she spent the entire summer with me, rearranging her schedule so that she would never have to leave my side. Em keeps it real with me and I can always count on her to be honest and open, even when discussing something difficult. She's hard to get to know but once you know her she's a constant reminder of unwavering love, faith, and acceptance. We could all be a little bit more like Em. I feel honored to have her by my side.
Hallie Mockobee
Bridesmaid
I've known Hallie since she was born, and I feel confident in saying that I hit the cousin jackpot. Hallie brings light and energy wherever she goes, and I know that on a bad day I can call her and she can have me laughing within minutes. She is solid, wise, and full of life. Hallie has made her own path in life and she inspires me more than she knows. If you need a reminder to stay true to yourself and good things will come, just watch how Hallie carries herself. She's such a blessing to me.
Sienna Crews
Bridesmaid
Sienna and I went to highschool together and weren't much more than swim team teammates due to the 2 year age difference, but as luck would have it we ended up stuck in Italy together during a global pandemic! Sienna and I connected instantly and it was almost like I had found my long lost sister. Sienna reminds me each day to live freely and fully. She is one of those people that never judges you no matter what you bring to the table. She brings me a sense of peace and tranquility, and anytime something is going wrong I know that one conversation with S will ground me again. To know her is to love her.
Sydney Scherry
Maid of Honor
Sydney and I met in the seventh grade and immediately became inseparable. Since then, we have been through it all together. During some of the hardest times in my life Syd has been there to help me through, to make sure I woke up each day ready for anything. She's my bestie, my sister, and my soft place to land when I have to admit some hard truths to myself. She always stays present, making sure that I know she cares about what's happening in my life, a selfless act that has saved me many times. She’s the strongest person I know and her unwavering support in everything I do keeps me going. I cherish our long talks, trips, and everything in-between. If she hadn't told me over and over what I deserve, I wouldn't be here today marrying Clint. It's a privilege to have her by my side.
Adam Lovern
Groomsman
Adam has been an absolute blessing to me in my life. From the day that Brenden introduced us, Adam had accepted me and always made me feel welcome. He is the type of best friend that I can call and talk to for hours about anything and he would be perfectly fine with it. I could not be more thankful for his friendship.
Braden Stephens
Groomsman
Braden has been there for me through thick and thin and I've come to know him as someone who would give you the shirt off of his back even if it was his last shirt. Braden is not just a best friend to me, he is family. I could never repay him for the amount of good that he has brought to my life. It doesn't matter if we haven't talked for days or weeks, we always pick right back up where we left off.
Brenden Cox
Best Man
Brenden is a brother to me. He is the guy that I can go to and always count on to give it to me straight no matter what I am asking. It doesn't matter what time of day or where I am, I know that if I need help Brenden will be there. Being friends with Brenden is being at home on a Thursday, but then somehow on Friday night you are sleeping in a tent in halfway across the country. Whether he knows it or not, Brenden has done a lot for me and anyone would be lucky to have Brenden as their best friend.
Gavin Smith
Groomsman
Gavin has always had a good heart growing up and that was what I admired most about him. I loved watching him play sports and developing into a young man, one of the best privileges as a big brother. He inspires me with his love for animals and those around him, and I hope that throughout life I can be a good role model for him and help him take on life.
Kraig Hancock
Groomsman
Kraig and I have been friends for about two years, and over those two years we have done a lot together. Whether we are working on the Jimmy or playing Cards with Kalee, I know that we are always going to have a great time. I can call Kraig anytime of the day and he would be there to help me out, he truly is an amazing friend.
Zach Kemp
Best Man
Zach and Jordan have been bestfriends since the very beginning, and if Jordan had her way Zach would be the man of honor! "Zach has been my confidant, my better half, and my best friend for as long as I can remember. While some think that our close relationship is strange, I believe that if everyone had a brother like mine then they would understand just how much he means to me. God smiles on my little brother, inside and out he's better than I am." From the first day Clint and Zach met they hit it off. "When I met Zach I gained a brother and a best friend. He and I talk almost daily and are always planning our next great fishing adventure. Anyone would be lucky to have Zach in their life, he has changed mine in the best way forever."
Kate Schwartz
Flower Girl
The cutest, most independent, and most stubborn flower girl there ever was! After I asked Kate to be my flower girl she tried to convince me to let her wear a purple dress...so if you see purple shoes on the wedding day, just know that she's too cute to say no to.
Nolan Schwartz
Ring Bearer
Nolan has always been close to Zach and I ever since he was born. He is so loving, funny, and lights up a room wherever he goes! Getting to have Nolan in the wedding will be something that I will always cherish.
Saint Smith
Dog of Honor
Our first born...the wildest, personality filled, most protective dog there is. Saint and Clint were already a family before I came into the picture, but it didn't take long for Saint to adopt me into the pack. He's a good boy, even though he aggravates me to no end most days. He makes our family complete, life would not be the same without him!
Mike and Julie Kemp
Parents of the Bride
The character limit makes it impossible to fit in a small fraction of what my parents mean to me. Aside from being the best role models for Clint and I, I wouldn't be who I am today without them. My mom is one of the kindest, most compassionate people you will ever meet. She loves me even when I'm wrong and continuously makes sacrifices so that my brother and I can have the best life imaginable. My dad is wise, inspiring, and his strength makes me stronger. He loves so hard and never gives up on anything until he knows he's done his best. If it weren't for them and our travels I wouldn't be a geologist or even know the value of our National Parks. They've instilled in me wanderlust and the desire to never settle, to always have hunger for what the world has to offer. Forever and always.
Patty Smith
Mother of the Groom
There are so many things that I could write here but for those of you who know my mother you already know how great of a woman she is. She is the definition of a hardworking mom; she always made sure we had what we needed and more. She has given Gavin and I everything that she possibly can, and for that I will always be eternally grateful.
Tim Smith
Father of the Groom
Growing up people always said I looked like my dad, so I want to start by thanking him for the good looks! Whether it be cars, trucks, or life my dad has always had good advice for me. I know that no matter what is going on in life my dad is always going to have my back. I wouldn't trade my dad for the world as he has always loved his boys unconditionally.
Kristopher Brown
Officiant
Kris has been a family friend for years. I know him for his kindness, sense of humor, and devotion to God. Kris stood in my living room 8 years ago and renewed my parent's wedding vows, an experience that I will always remember. Thank you, Kris, for your selfless devotion and wonderful example, it's an honor to have you marrying Clint and I!
Zac Divine
Reader
Zac has been one of my biggest role models in my career, the way he approaches work and life are truly inspiring to me. His love for the outdoors and his family are unmatched, I can only hope that I become half as good as the man he is one day.
Olivia Aurs
Greeter
While it may appear from the outside that Olivia is the quiet one, if you listen closely enough she is actually the funniest person at a family event. Claud, Liv, and I are the sarcastic trio of the family and I wouldn't have it any other way! Liv is strong, independent, and will do great things some day. Thank you for being part of my day, Olivia, it means so much to me!
Mallory Garrison
Greeter
Mallory has been a part of my family for nearly 4 years now, and while it was hard for me to share my brother at first, there is no denying that she brings out the best in him. I know that I can count on Mallory to support me in all that I do, and I know she will be the perfect first, smiling face for guests to see at my wedding. So happy you're going to be a part of my day, Mal!
Lane Spencer
Usher
Lane has been a brother to me ever since he and Zach became inseparable in elementary school. I know that if I needed someone taken care of, Lane would, without question, be my guy. He's a dork, but he is a part of my family and I love him so.
Genny and Woody Feck
Grandparents of the Groom
My grandparents have been nothing short of a blessing in my life. They are the most loving and kind people you could ever meet. During the summers when I was younger my dad would always drop my brother and I off at my grandparents house, and when that happened I always knew it was going to be a good day. There was always something to do, whether it be help grandpa with something outside or go on our weekly Bass Pro trip, but when we were done you could always bet that Grandma had already made us something great to eat. There are truly no words for how much I appreciate my grandparents, all I know is that I have some of the best there are.
Brenda and Richard Schwartz
Grandparents of Bride
My grandma and grandpa have always been there to support me and cheer me on in all that I do. They are two of the most hardworking individuals and that's what I admire most about them. Grandpa works hard every single day, but still makes time to complete all of the home projects that my family requests, he's seriously so talented! Grandma works alongside Grandpa to complete family projects, including anything you need done with a sewing machine. She knows more about plants and wildlife than anyone I know, and always puts her heart into everything she does. I love you both!
Megan and Phillip Schwartz
Honor Attendants
Megan and Phillip have been two of the most supportive aunt and uncle that I have ever had. When I was younger they attended my sporting events, musicals, and never let me forget how proud they were. Phillip has been an amazing example of what hard work looks like, and he gives the best hugs and shoulder rubs. Megan is fun, inspires me with her creativity, and has always been someone that I can count on. Not only does she fix all my clothes at a moments notice, but she's always doing little things to make sure that I feel loved. Phillip was the ring bearer in my parent's wedding, so it's pretty special that Nolan is the ring bearer in mine. Thank you for your kids, love you!
Claudia Nichols
Honor Attendant
Claud has always been more of a bestfriend to me than an aunt, and some family members would even argue that we could be sisters because we are more alike than not. We have so many memories together, from yearly Kings Island/Cedar Point trips, to picnics at my house, going to the Drive Inn, cherry garcia ice-cream, mufflers falling off cars, and so much more. If I need something, I know that I can call Claud and she will do everything in her power to make sure that it's taken care of. She's smart, funny, and someone that I will always look up to. Here at my wedding she's an honor attendant, but everyday she's a really cool aunt. Love you, C-Dog.
Katie Aurs
Honor Attendant
Katie has always been a positive role model in my life. She encourages me to pursue my dreams, sets an example for doing so, and is always there to step up if I need advice. Katie is selfless and always puts her family before herself, a quality that I admire most about her. She is always there to give me uncensored advice, making sure to keep it real with me about the important things. Katie continuously makes herself available when I have a problem or when I need something, and is the first to congratulate me on my accomplishments. She's pretty cool, everyone should get an Aunt Katie! Love you!
Deb Cain
Honor Attendant
I have so many great memories with my Aunt Deb, she has always been there to step up when I need something or when I need advice. She's taken me to so many cool places and no matter what we are doing I know that we will be making fun memories. She isn't afraid to tell me like it is, and her honesty has helped shape me into the person I am today. I am very thankful for Deb and all that she has done for me over the years.
Connie Jo
Honor Attendant
From the very first day that I met Connie she has been nothing but kind and welcoming to me. She is always there if you need a shoulder to cry on or someone to listen to you. I am very thankful for Connie and all of the good people and good things that she has brought into our lives.
Rachel Hassfurther
Honor Attendant/Day of Right Hand
Rachel and I met in the seventh grade when we sat next to one another in language arts class. Since then, Rachel has been a constant in my life. Our friendship is one of those that can always pick up right where it left off, and I can always count on Rachel to check in on me, often during times when she doesn't even know that I need it the most. Rachel brings positivity, laughter, and authenticity wherever she goes, and I know that I can run to her when I need to vent about a problem and she will validate my feelings, even when I'm wrong. I can trust Rach with anything, which is why I know she will be the best spokesperson for me on the day of the wedding. Whatever happens, she will make sure that my day is perfect. So thankful for you, Rach!
Caleb and Jessica
Wedding Planners
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Caleb and Jessica at First Class Events. Every girl has a Pinterest board dedicated to her future wedding, and the seemingly insurmountable task of making that dream a reality is intimidating for a bride. Clint and I met Caleb at a vendor open house at The Wilds, and it quickly became obvious to us that we could trust First Class Events to make our wedding flawless. After Caleb introduced us to Jessica, the team hit the floor running, taking care of anything and everything pertaining to the wedding and reassuring me every five minutes that it would all be absolutely perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to have them plan out the rest of my life, they are seriously that wonderful. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You made our dreams come true.
