Kassandra & Zeb
Wedding Party
Jennifer Desmond
Matron of Honor
Jen is the kind of person that EVERYONE wants to be friends with. I don't think there's a single person that has ever met her and didn't instantly share some kind of bond, even if it small, with Jen. To be able to do that, your character, soul, charisma and charm have to be pure and full of kindness and love. Those quality's embody Jen to a T. My best friend and my partner in crime, while we found each other later in life, I couldn't imagine a single day without her. While we may be hundreds of miles apart every single day, there isn't a day she's ever made me feel like she's not standing right beside me.
Benjamin Andrew Baity
Best Man
Some would say he's the salt of the earth. They aren't wrong, but to me he's more than just my best man - he is my best friend. We grew up together playing multiple sports. We had our fair share of scraps as youth, Andrew always there to have my back. In return I've had his back over 25 years of friendship. As the years have gone by we've fished the outer banks of NC up and down, spent countless hours in the woods hunting elusive critters and seen the Dawgs win the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. He is family to me, another brother that I've shared more memories than I can share in just a few sentences. He's worthless to most, but he's priceless to me.
Krystal Hultberg
Bridesmaid
There are people you cross paths with, some stay, some leave. I knew immediately my friendship with Krystal was one to last. She will be the first to lend a hand, bring you a meal and rescue a kitten... or 10. While she is filled with kindness and grace, she also is full of determination and drive. Smart, organized and always willing to put the work in, she's a friend I look up to and always reach out to for advice.
Neal Patrick Conner
Groomsman
Annoying. Filterless. Moronic. Adjectives. I knew Neal would be one of my long time friends the moment I met him. I met Neal as a wee lad in our middle school choir class. I was Zac Effron, he was the annoying kid no one liked. Over the years we've built a long lasting friendship. We share a love for Godzilla, fishing for whatever is in the water and the witty, funny banter that not everyone finds witty or funny. He's pressed my buttons more than my own brother, but just like a younger brother I've always appreciated him for how, unapologetically, he is always his genuine self.
Anna Sturzenbecker
Bridesmaid
Anna is a woman I am so proud to have stand by my side. Her heart beats strong with her faith in God, her love for her family and friends. She is the one I go to for strength, but also the first one I turn to when I need a laugh or just a down right good time. Sometimes, our good times simply consist of going to the grocery store but it's the time spent together that means the most to me with her, not the where.
Nathaniel Zeke Little
Groomsman
My actual brother - there's no better person I could think of to stand beside me on the day of my wedding. We're five years apart and as kids we weren't always the closest, but our bond has grown over the years, and I'm thankful for how close we've become. Nathan is kind, mostly honest and has always been there for me when I needed him. When I look at my "little" brother, I see all my family trips over the years and the countless memories my family and I have shared together. I am proud to be his brother.
Jessica Currie
Bridesmaid
Jess is very special to me as we are lucky enough to not only be friends, but share a last name (however, not for much longer)! Jessica is one of the most driven individuals I've ever met, but yet still finds time to balance work, family and FUN. I'm fortunate our relationship has developed over the years as Jessica was and is the friend I can always rely on, good times and bad. I wouldn't want her anywhere else other than by my side on the day I marry the love of my life!
Jake Ryan Currie
Groomsman
The moment I met Jake, I knew I'd marry Kaycee. Eyes that sparkle, a smile that lights up a room and a whimsical, fun loving disposition - Jake is who you'd want to drink pina coladas and get caught in the rain with. He can hit a golf ball a long way. His laugh brings joy to anyone he's around. He's an all around good guy, the product of two loving parents that would do anything for their kids. He's Kaycee's brother but he's my brother now too.
