Kaley & Ethan
Wedding Party & Family Members
Kaley Gregg
Bride
June 25th has been my favorite day of the year since 2013, and I’m so excited that this date will be our wedding date/anniversary as well!😊 Ethan is my forever, we have grown up together, and our love has grown as well. Ethan is one of the best humans that I have ever met & probably ever will meet. I am honored that Ethan wants to spend forever with me. It is crazy to think that I have found my soulmate & especially at such a young age. It is also crazy that out of all of the people in the world, Ethan & I are on Earth at the same time & found each other. I am SO fortunate to have him and all of the other people listed below in my life. What I want most in the whole wide world is to be Ethan's wife, so I am glad that you will all be there to share my dream & support us on our wedding day!
Ethan Ziegenfuss
Groom
Ever since I laid my eyes on Kaley I could have told you I would be in this position someday. She is the greatest thing to have ever happened to me, and I can't wait for her to be my wife. The biggest accomplishment I will ever have is for her to be by my side for life & then some. Finding your soulmate in middle school is not what everyone's love story looks like, but I was fortunate enough for that to be mine. And being with her since 8th grade has allowed us to grow with each other and grow more in love every day. Not to mention Kaley Jane Ziegenfuss just has a great ring to it. 😊 I wouldn't want to do life with anyone else, and I'm so excited for everyone to be apart of just the start of our (married) story!
Sharon Fogle
Mother of the Bride
Sharon has been Kaley’s rock & best friend since the womb, lol! All jokes aside, Sharon is the definition of a loving and caring mother. There is nothing that she wouldn’t do for Kaley & Ethan, and that unconditional love is the best feeling in the world! Sharon is such a beautiful soul, and she lights up any room that she is in. Kaley is glad that Ethan loves his family so much and that they are so close! My mom and Ethan are very close, and it is such a heartwarming feeling to know that both of my parents are in love with the man I am choosing to spend my life with! Ethan feels as though he is the luckiest man alive because he found his soul mate & a family that he loves and that loves him as their own! We are both proud/honored to have Sharon as our mom & future mother-in-law!
Dena Ziegenfuss
Mother of the Groom
Dena is Ethan's mom. She is the life of the party and is always fun to be around. Although she is great company, she also is a fantastic mother. Ethan is so fortunate to have such a selfless mother who gets anything done that her family needs. She gives great advice, and she is very loving. We have so many amazing memories together from our solo trip to Florida, from going to Rome (where Ethan proposed!) to just going out to dinner or sitting at home and talking for hours. Kaley feels so blessed to have a future mother-in-law that she loves, looks to as a second mother, is great friends with, & most importantly, shares an unconditional love for Ethan! Ethan can not believe that he found a future wife that loves his mother as much as he does, & he is so thankful that they are great friends!
Alan Gregg
Father of the Bride
Alan is Kaley’s dad. He has been her best friend since the moment she was born. We are both so blessed to have Alan in our lives! He is the best dad in the whole world to Kaley. Anyone that knows Alan has nothing but kind words to say about him. He loves his family more than life itself, & we feel the same way towards him. He is so funny, caring, supportive, & just an amazing person. We are proud to have him in our lives! Ethan & my dad are so close, & it is the best feeling in the world to know that they both love each other and are such good friends! I love that they will spend time together alone because they genuinely enjoy each other so much! People say that girls grow up to marry a man like their father & I am happy to say that is true! We both love Alan more than words can describe!
Tim Ziegenfuss
Father of the Groom
Tim is Ethan's father. He has been Ethan's number one role model throughout life. Ethan is even going to school for exercise science because he wants to follow in his father's footsteps so much. We both have so much love & respect for Mr. Z. He is such an inspirational person and offers help to anyone that needs it; Tim is a selfless person and does anything for his loved ones, but most importantly, he is kind to anyone he meets! He is an exceptional father and future father-in-law to us. He has demonstrated what a good husband is to Ethan, and Ethan cannot wait to be as loving, supportive, and happy in his marriage as his dad is with Dena. Kaley feels like Mr. Z is her second dad and that she can talk to him about anything. She feels blessed to have such a good relationship with him.
Caitlin Graham
Maid of Honor
Caitlin is Kaley’s cousin but, more importantly, best friend since birth! She has truly been there for every moment of Kaley’s life. Even though she is the little cousin, we both look up to her in so many aspects. She is such a strong person & she has so much love to give. One of my (Kaley) favorite things about Caitlin is her relationship with Ethan. She and Ethan joke around with each other, and I’m so glad that two of my favorite people in this world are so close. We never laugh more than when we are with Caitlin, and we truly do not know what we would do without her. We are blessed to have such a funny, caring, understanding, supportive best friend. I hope we always live close to each other because I can’t live without Caitlin! We both love Caitlin endlessly!
Genna Gabanic
Maid of Honor
Genna is Kaley’s best friend from 6th grade! Ethan, Kaley, & Genna have been inseparable for the last decade because we went to middle school, high school, & BGSU together but most importantly, because we are best friends! Genna is a friend that I can call at any hour, and she will listen, laugh with me, cry with me, & care about what I have to say. She is such a beautiful person and soul. She has such a good understanding of life and people, and I think that is one of the reasons she is so sweet and lights a room when she is in it! She is such a good dog mom to her little baby Zoey (in her profile picture) & an amazing girlfriend to her boyfriend, Joe. I am SO lucky to have Genna as my best friend, and I can’t wait to be best friends till we are old ladies & then some.
Jillian Ziegenfuss
Bridesmaid
Jill is Ethan’s sister but Kaley’s friend! (& ethans lol) She is one of the most down to earth and understanding girls that we both know. She is truly beautiful inside and out! We both think Jill is such a cool person & we love spending time with her. Whether we are just going to the mall or sitting on the couch and talk for hours, any time spent with Jill is a good time! She doesn’t feel like a little sister sometimes because the three of us are so close and can talk about anything! We would both do anything for Jill and are so proud/lucky to have her as a sister, sister-in-law, and friend for life!
Peyton Ziegenfuss
Bridesmaid
Peyton is Ethan’s sister but is Kaley’s friend ( & ethans lol)! Although Peyton is a lot younger than the two of us, she’s always been such a good friend! We both have countless memories with Pey, and we would do anything for her! Ethan loved riding around in their RZR with Peyton as kids. & Kaley still cherishes all the makeup nights that she, Jill, and Peyton would have. Peyton is a funny, blunt, & beautiful young woman, and we are so happy to have her be a part of our day! We can’t wait to continue to watch Peyton grow and for us to grow with her!
Josie Cremeans
Bridesmaid
Josie is the definition of a good person. She is thoughtful, caring, understanding but also speaks up in what she believes in, which is one of the many reasons we love her! She has been an amazing friend to Ethan and Kaley for many years since we all met in middle school and went to high school together. We have always been friends but became very close senior year of high school and after high school, and we are so thankful that our friendship is so strong! Josie is such a beautiful and driven person, and we are lucky to have her as a life long friend! Kaley & Josie share a lot of things such as style, morals/beliefs, and margaritas, lol! We both love Josie so much and can’t wait for her to be a part of our big day and many more major milestones!
Jessica Liechty
Bridesmaid
The perfect way to describe Jessica is a ray of sunshine! She is such a fun and amazing friend to have! Although she is always so happy, bubbly, and funny, she is also a down to earth, caring, & loving friend! We have all been friends since middle school and went to high school together as well. We both cherish our friendship with Jessica and can’t wait to continue to go through life with her! She is a gorgeous girl inside and out. She is one of those people that gets along with everyone and can make friends with anyone! Jessica and Kaley laugh so hard when they are together, but Kaley also knows that if she ever needs anything, Jessica will do her best to be there as soon as possible, and that is the kind of friend people wish for!
Kyle McCaffrey
Best Man
When thinking about who Ethan wanted to be his best man, Kyle’s name immediately came to mind! Ethan has known & been friends with Kyle since elementary school. They love to play football, play video games, and talk about life together. Kyle is one of the most well-rounded individuals we have ever met because he is absolutely hilarious yet so kind and a great friend! He genuinely is one of the best people that we know. Kaley & Kyle also became best friends when Kyle moved into the same neighborhood as Kaley. They hung out constantly and share so many laughs and memories together that when thinking of a best man for Ethan, she instantly thought of Kyle as well! We are blessed to share someone that we both care about immensely & can’t wait to continue going through life together!
Zac Everall
Best Man
Zac is Ethan’s cousin and has been a role model and best friend to Ethan for as long as E can remember. They grew up together, and Ethan never stops smiling when Zac is around! There was not a doubt in our minds that Zac was going to be Ethan's best man! Zac is the life of the party, but he is also so compassionate & considerate, which are some of the reasons we both love Zac so much! Zac and Ethan are twins in so many ways. From the way that they look to their love for tattoos & cars. Zac is an incredible friend, and we both know that he would do anything for us at the drop of a hat & that we could always have a place to stay if needed. The same goes for him and his beautiful fiancé Michelle as well (& their dogs Archie and Janie).
Mason Ziegenfuss
Groomsman
Mason is Ethan’s 1st younger brother. He and Ethan have been a duo since Mason was born. They grew up doing everything together from soccer, football, skiing/snowboarding, video games, school, and now our wedding! The best way to describe Mason goofy, lol. He can be quiet sometimes, but he is one of the funniest guys in the room! He’s not shy by any means, and we love him for that. He is stylish, cool, & funny, but he is still a great person too. He offers advice, is helpful, and shows up when you need him. He is a great friend, brother, & future brother-in-law to have. We can’t wait to continue to go through life with Mason and are so happy that he is a part of our wedding!
Keaton Ziegenfuss
Groomsman
Keaton is Ethan's 2nd younger brother. Keaton is a fireball of energy that we both cherish greatly! He is hilarious yet serious in the best ways. He is always there for you when you need him, and you know that you can count on Keaton for advice, support, & help! He is an amazing brother, future brother-in-law, & best friend. He and Ethan have done everything in life together as well. Ethan hopes that he has been a good role model for Keaton throughout life, but he also looks up to Keaton because of how good of a man he has grown to be. Keaton is intelligent, caring, understanding, and fun to be around. He and Kaley have had an amazing relationship since 2013. Keaton has always felt like a brother and best friend to Kaley. We are blessed to have Keaton in our lives and wedding!
Jarred Graham
Groomsman
Jarred is Kaley's cousin and has become one of Ethan's closest friends! He has been Kaley's best friend since she was born. He is only 6 months older than Kaley, so they are extremely close. They grew up together (w/ Caitlin) and have endless memories together. Ethan & Jarred have grown so close as well! They hang out constantly, workout together, work together, fish together, talk about cars together, and just about anything else. Jarred is one of the most intelligent, kind, caring, funny, & well-rounded person that we know. Jarred is hilarious while being calm and collected as well. Anyone that meets Jarred loves him. We both think so highly of Jarred and are thrilled that he is a part of our wedding and lives. We cannot say enough good things about Jarred!
Shane Quin

Shane is an outstanding guy! He has strong morals, and he is a genuine person. He played football with Ethan in high school & has been a very close friend since middle school to the both of us! He was in theater arts with us and can always make people laugh. He’s very caring, and we both can always count on him when needed. Shane is a cool, funny, & considerate friend. We both feel so fortunate to have Shane in our lives and were so happy when he said yes to being in the wedding! The best way to describe Shane is as a stand-up guy. He’s just the person you want on your side and in your life. He’s a super great guy, and we both love him so much!
Jesse Smith
Groomsman
Jesse has been a good friend since middle & high school! Ethan played football with Jesse and they have countless memories together! All three of us were TA’s in high school. He is one of the funniest, carefree, easy-going guys we have ever met! But he is also a guy that checks up on his friends & remembers when they have important stuff coming up! He is an amazing friend and person & I can’t think of a single person who has ever met Jesse and not loved the guy! He’s down for whatever and makes every situation (good or bad) fun & light-hearted! He is a hard worker and can talk to everyone/anyone! (& usually be friends them lol) Jesse is an amazing guy that we both adore, and we are thankful to have him in our lives & our wedding!
Joey Dinko
Groomsman
Joey is a good friend from elementary school that we also went to middle & high school with. Kaley has known him since the first year that she moved to Chardon, OH. He was one of her first friends and is still a very close friend. He is also super close with Ethan. Joey & Ethan played football together in high school. He is a carefree guy that is hilarious, charming, & super intelligent. He really is down for anything, and that is part of what makes him so great! Although Joey is a great time, he is also a great friend because he can have serious talks with you and is there for you when you need a friend. We both feel lucky to call Joey our friend and to have him in our lives/wedding!
Grey
Best Dog
Grey is Ethan & Kaley's first dog! He is a Siberian Husky & his coloring is Agouti. He is the SWEETEST boy alive. Everyone that meets Grey says that he has the sweetest face & personality. He is our best friend, rock, firstborn, first big responsibility together, first love, & Kaley often refers to Grey as her soul dog. He loves to play fetch/catch even though he isn't very good at catch lol. His favorite kind of toys are the smallest ones you can find and if they have a squeaker in them! Grey loves to sleep with us at night and sit on the couch with us throughout the day. Grey is best friends with Layla (Kaley's dog at her dad's) & his little sister Jade. He is a very calm dog, he rarely barks and the only time he gets crazy is when people first come over (he's a jumper but we love it!)
Jade
Best Dog
Jade is our second dog. She is also a Siberian Husky, and her coloring is black/black agouti. She is such a funny girl! Her personality is unbeatable! Jade loves Grey with her whole heart; every morning, she gets so excited and wags like crazy when Grey wakes up (he's a popular guy around here). Jade loves to play & she is truly the happiest dog in the world! Her favorite kind of toys are anything with a squeaker and spikey balls. Jade is a lot smaller than Grey, but you'd never know it by her personality and how she plays! She is super fast and can break Grey's ankles, lol. She is a huge lover and gives plenty of kisses, lol. Jade is just a dog that no matter what she does, you just love her & smile. We are so blessed that our second dog is just as great as our first!
Nick Warner
Usher
Jumbo/Shrimp Nick is Caitlin's (Maid of Honor) boyfriend. He has become a close friend over the last few years to us! He is an intelligent guy that can take a joke. We always enjoy hanging out with Nick. From going to Presque Isle to fish to playing JackBox games, just sitting around laughing (or screen mirroring tiktoks on the tv). We are glad that Caitlin has found a guy who fits into our family well and loves her so much. We are happy to have a friend like Nick in our lives and are excited to have him be apart of our wedding as our usher!
