Wedding Party
Kala Hanna
Maid of Honor
Well… I’ve technically known Kara my whole life. As for Jared, you’ll have to wait for my wedding speech to hear how he officially became apart of the twin dynamic

I am truly blessed to say I've known Kara since I was born. With being cousins, we grew up side by side with many memories, inside jokes, and probably a few stories that are better left off this website. I'm so incredibly grateful to be by her side on this special day and watch her and Jared grow into a beautiful life together.

Kara and I are cousins and have grown up together and have even lived together at some point in our lives. Our relationship holds years of memories, laughter, and even some arguments considering our alike personalities. She is more like another sister than a cousin to me, and I am so lucky that I’ve gotten to see her grow into the strong and amazing woman she is today. I feel so honored to stand by her side to celebrate this next part of her life!!

I met Kara when I started dating her brother a long time ago. Here we are almost 13 years later as sisters-in-law! I’m so glad we’ve shared so many good times together, and I’m thankful to be part of her family and honored to stand by her side as a bridesmaid.

Kara and I have grown up alongside each other through nearly every chapter of life – from high school hallways to undergrad debauchery and the chaos of pharmacy school. After a year at different schools our freshman year, she realized she couldn’t stay away and (thankfully) followed me to Ohio State. We’ve somehow made it through some of the most stressful years laughing the entire way, and I can’t wait to stand by her side on her wedding day and for all the years to come!

Kara and I first met in undergrad at OSU in microbiology class, where we bonded over our shared love language of complaining about school. It wasn’t until residency that we really became close by being each other’s built-in support system. Along the way, my co-resident turned into my best friend, and I wouldn’t have wanted to do any of it without her ❤️

Bridesmaid
I first met Kara in undergrad at OSU during our Intro to Pharmacy class. She asked me to be in a group with her to which I obviously said yes. Little did we know that moment would mark the beginning of our lifelong friendship. From pharmacy school to internship, where we somehow made every task into a two person job, to girls trips and wine nights, we’ve shared so many incredible memories. I am so honored to be a part of her big day and cannot wait for all of our adventures to come! 🤍

Kara and I have grown up together since preschool, which means our friendship is filled with years of memories and life milestones. Over the years she’s become so much more than a friend—she’s truly like a sister to me. Watching her grow into the amazing person she is today has been such a gift, and I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this next beautiful chapter with her.

I met kara through being Kala’s soon to be sister in law! We have grown so close over the last 6 years and always have a blast together. I am so honored to stand by Kara’s side on her special day!

I met Kara playing basketball at Olmsted Falls High School, and we've shared a lot of life together over the past 14+ years. I've had a front-row seat to Kara and Jared’s relationship from the very start and feel lucky to be standing next to Kara on such an important day💕
Nick Williams
Best Man
I’m Nick, the younger, cooler, brother. I’ve known him since the day I was born, which means I’ve had a lifetime of experience dealing with him. Growing up, he taught me a lot… mostly what not to do. But in all seriousness, he’s always been someone I look up to, and I couldn’t be happier he found someone incredible to share his life with.
Kenny Hanna
Best Man
Jared and I played high school basketball and baseball together. We had been best friends ever since. Whether it was passing Jared the basketball for 3s or calling his pitches, we have always had a special connection. Very excited for his special day with Kara.

I’ve known Kara and Jared for the last 15+ years as I married Kara’s twin sister, Kala, and Jared is best friends with my brother Kenny. Kara has been my sister for as long as I can remember and Jared has become another brother. I can’t wait to stand by both their sides on the special day

Jared and I met freshman year at Ohio State, where we lived across the hall from each other and played on the club basketball team together. Our friendship was built on shared interests in sports, math, and countless Super Smash Bros battles. Since then, we’ve enjoyed many vacations and golf trips together and I’m incredibly grateful our friendship has continued to grow along the way.

Jared and I first met back in elementary school. Jared lived in a different town and went to a different school at the time. But, we got to know each other through sports such as baseball and basketball. I still have a framed picture of our fifth grade basketball team that Jared’s dad coached. Our friendship continued to grow through sports over the years. Especially when Jared began attending Olmsted Falls. We’ve been on several trips together such as visiting Wrigley Field and Fenway Park. Some of our best memories were in college visiting each other at Ohio State or Baldwin Wallace. Over the years since, Jared and I have remained close friends which is something I will always cherish.

I met Jared at The Ohio State University where we both played club basketball, and we’ve been friends ever since. After college we ended up living together for a few years, which is actually where he was living when he met Kara. Since then, life has taken us in different directions, but we’ve always stayed close — whether it’s ski trips, getting our dogs together, or grabbing Zeno’s and catching up. Jared has been a great friend through all the years, and I’m really grateful for that. Kara has been an awesome addition to the group too — she’s organized, determined, and thoughtful, and she definitely helps keep both Jared and the rest of us on track.

I met Jared through Ohio State, and I’ve been so thankful for the friendship we’ve built over the years. He’s one of the few people who can beat me on the golf course week after week and somehow keep me happy to show up next time. Jared has always been the friend I look up to and turn to for advice, and I’m incredibly grateful to be standing beside him on such a special day. Kara has always been the perfect match for him, and it’s been a privilege to watch their relationship become what it is today.

I met Jared freshman year at Ohio State when he was half naked after locking himself out of his dorm room post showering. He has since lost his keys at the bottom of Alum Creek while boating with me. I hope with marriage he learns to stop losing keys. Or that Kara handles the keys. Still love you JRoc and I wish you and Kara the best in life!

Jared and I started as total strangers, meeting through my hometown friends at Ohio State. Somewhere between the late-night moves and always looking for my ball in the rough, he went from a 'friend of a friend' to a roommate, and now one of my closest friends. My fiancé, Hannah, and I started dating at nearly the same time as Jared and Kara, without either of us introducing one to the other. It turns out Hannah and Kara were already best friends from home and they all grew up at the same school. The universe basically skipped the middleman to make sure we all ended up together. This inexplicable and astronomically unlikely coincidence has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. Jared is a true friend; honest, reliable, trustworthy, the undisputed king of mini-games— the list goes on. I’m honored to celebrate and be a small part of a love story that was clearly destined from the beginning.

While at OSU, I had the privilege of getting to know Mr. Sports himself, Jared. Along with our good friends Dom and Scott, we shared a thin walled apartment on Norwich, and this death of secrets helped forge the bond we know today. Between cramming for exams: we drank, watched TPB, played Smash, late night blackjack, went aboard a spring break cruise, and many other highlights. Any time the weather crested 50 degrees the Larry Bird jersey was getting dusted off and it was game time, the math could wait. Many more experiences and trips later, he’s a whole corporate professional, and taking a big next step, and I couldn’t be happier for him. Just hoping he’ll be let out from time to time so we can keep golfing!

I met Jared in the dorms freshman year and we became close friends during the spring of Jared’s second out of five years of undergrad. Our friendship consists of Jared repeatedly losing at super smash brother and going on holiday to warmer climates

I have watched Jared and Kara grow up in Olmsted Falls. To see them come together has been such a joy for our entire family. I am honored and proud to be able to play a role in their special day. Jared and Kara are both beautiful people but even better together.
