Wedding Party
Lexi Hemmelgarn
Matron of Honor
Lexi, Lexi, Lexi... If there's one thing you should know about my younger sister, it's that she can light up a room of people just with her smile. The most genuine and kind soul to exist on this planet Earth, Lexi has been my built in best friend since day 1. If you're wondering what Lexi and I's relationship looked like growing up, just ask her about all of the torment I put her through over the years (hehe sorry Lex). Lexi and her husband Jack have a beautiful boy named Otto. Together they make the cutest little family and I aspire to be the mother that she is one day. Aside from making sure that Chris and I's big day is as magical as we envision, you can be sure to find Lexi burning up the dance floor and singing along with every word to every song.
Hannah Rose Sutton
Maid of Honor
Hannah and I met at Wright State University at the beginning of our undergraduate coursework. For a class project we had to partner up and practice providing therapeutic counseling to each other. Although the assignment was to "fake" your problems, Hannah and I quickly opened up to each other and bonded over this assignment. After graduating from Wright State, we continued on the same path by working at the same ABA company and even completing the same graduate coursework sequence in Applied Behavior Analysis at the University of Cincinnati. Hannah is my best bud, and although she is currently living in the far away land of Hawaii, our friendship will forever continue on. If you're looking for Hannah at the wedding, find her making deep conversations with all of our guests.
Jena Meyer
Bridesmaid
Jena is my sister-in-law. She is married to my brother Seth, and together they have three beautiful children Grayson, Jace, and Kendall. Jena is a hardworking, beautiful person, inside and out and my bonus sister. If there's anything you should know about Jena, behind her sweet and innocent face is a competitive beast who wins every competition, also, if you give her a couple drinks at the wedding, listen to her start talking in a Canadian accent.
Jenna Abrahamson
Bridesmaid
Jenna is another one of my best friends who I met at Wright State. Before we became friends it was divulged to me that Jenna thought I was a 'b-word' because of my RBF. Unbeknownst to her at the time, that is the opposite of my personality. However, even with her preconceived notions of me, we quickly became friends and even decided to live with each other for a year. Jenna and I took multiple classes together at Wright State, and as the overachiever that she is, she graduated a semester ahead of me. Ironically, Jenna and I also worked for the same company as well as completed the same course work for our graduate degree. If there's anything you should know about Jenna, she has been to about 88 different Taylor Swift and Jonas Brother concerts and can share any little detail you could possibly want to know about their lives. If you're looking for Jenna at the wedding, find her reenacting any Taylor performance on the dance floor.
Shelby Howard
Bridesmaid
Sweet little Shelby. The most beautiful, caring, dedicated, blessing to enter my life. Shelby and I met when we got randomly matched as roommates at Wright State. She came to visit me in Coldwater where she was quickly thrown into the shenanigans that my friends and I had at CCP (iykyk). Shelby and I moved out of our first apartment, and back in with each other in the Fall of the following year where we stayed the remainder of our undergrad. Shelby quickly showed me her way of life with her skyline chili dinners and long nights of studying anatomy and physiology. Shelby and I took different paths during graduate school when she moved to Columbus to complete her DPT, but we always fell right back in place with each other, when we visited. If you're looking for Shelby at the wedding, find her taking a break from the dance floor near the snacks.
Ashley Wheeler
Bridesmaid
Ashley is my future sister-in-law. She is engaged to Chris' brother, John Patrick. Together they have two spunky little wiener dogs, who enjoy adding to the chaos of the dog pound at the LeComte Household. Ashely is the most expressive person you will meet. If you start a text conversation with her, expect nothing less than about 50 emojis. If you're looking for Ashely at the wedding, find us at the bar sneaking a couple shots.
