Jamal & Kellsey
Wedding Party
Kellsey Lucas
Bride
I can’t believe the days are getting closer and closer to when we finally say “I do!”. And knowing I grew up with the most loving family and friends, I’m so happy that many of them are still apart of my life today to join in on the fun to come! Me and Jamal met many years ago, and because of our long journey we fell into a deeper love than we thought imaginable. Jamals the love of my life, the most amazing daddy, and the best friend anyone could ever experience. I'm so excited to marry this wonderful man, surrounded by our beautiful 5 kids, loving family, and the best of friends, in a little piece of paradise! I love you all so very much!
Jamal Moubarak
Groom
Standing here knowing I get to spend forever with this woman still doesn’t feel real. She’s my calm, my motivation, my home, and the reason I push to be better every single day. Building this life with our beautiful kids, our family, and the people we love most makes this moment even more meaningful. I’m endlessly thankful for the road that led us here and beyond excited for everything still ahead. The best memories and moments are shared with you Kellsey, and I want you to know that I’m yours forever. I love you more than I thought loving any being was possible, and I can’t wait to make the most beautiful woman in the world my Mrs. Moubarak!
Adelyn Moubarak
Flower Girl
Addy Rae is the baby of the family, and she's mama's little mini. She's full of sass and silliness, and she's always keeping us on our toes! She is the definition of a sour patch kid as she is a little sassy stinker butt, but truly and mainly the sweetest girl ever majority of the time. Addy know's what she wants and doesn't want, and she's very quick to speak her mind about both. But we love that for her! We love that we're raising a strong, yet kind, and caring sweet girl! Addy and Asher are always doing fun things together, building forts and coloring, to relaxing and watching shows with snacks, they’re bond is so special. She loves to do anything her big sissy’s are doing, and she adores her fun big brother Kaeleb. She is the funniest little lady ever, always making us laugh, and did we mention how beautifully cute she is?! She loves to sing and dance, swing and play at the park, and she loves anything as long as her family is by her side. Adelyn Rae, you make your whole family burst with happiness, and we love you so much! We can't wait to see our beautiful little flower girl walking down the aisle!
Asher Moubarak
Ring Bearer
Asher is truly one of the brightest rays of sunshine you'll ever know! He's the most amazing big brother to his sister, and he takes so much pride in that role! He is the best son, and he makes us laugh so much every day. Ash absolutely loves hanging out with his big brother Kaeleb no matter what they’re doing, and he loves annoying his older sisters lol! Asher has the sweetest heart ever, and he cares so deeply about his loved ones. He's always wanting to crack jokes and have fun, he loves his Uno and his Minecraft! He’s always being so creative and imaginative and that always calls for a very entertaining time! Asher loves to play sports, including basketball, baseball, and soccer. He loves to be outdoors and he loves to spend time with his family and friends. He loves going to camp and boating and taking jet ski rides, and he recently learned how to ski which he was also a pro at! He’s also mamas twin, but so much of his dad twin too! We love this sweet boy so very much, he's the most deserving of all the love, and we feel so blessed to have him have such an important role on our wedding day! We’re so excited to see all you do in this life and we love you buddy!
Jamie Donaldson
Maid of Honor
Jamie has been one of my forever best friends since we were in elementary school. She is truly my long lost sister. No really, her family took me in when my dad got sick and my mom was always at the hospital with him. I know I’ve told them but I hope they realize forever how much that meant, means now, and how much that helped me as a child. From our younger years of adventures in the woods with snakes, to middle school years of sneaking out to run around barefoot all hours of the night (truly innocent fun), Harry Potter marathons, and making her mom so mad at us for laughing all throughout church (love you Jules), to high schoolers drinking in barns and wishing those days would never end, yet being so eager for them to.. to now, raising our babies together, going through adulthood, womanhood, & motherhood. And, yes, very many murder/mystery shows in the mix! I love you and I am so honored that you're my maid of honor my beautiful Jamis <3
Kenny Frommert
Best Man
Kenny has been my best friend from high school, to all through out my life! Many memories running Detroit when we were invincible, to lots of dirt biking, snowmobiling, and skiing trips. Kenny is always traveling all over the world living his best life, yet still being a provider and rock to his 2 daughters that he genuinely loves raising and spending time with. If you’re hanging out with Kenny, you’re having a good time. I'm proud to have him by my side as my friend not only in life, but as my best man on my wedding day!
Holly Eley
Matron of Honor
Holly has been another one of my best friends turned sister the majority of my life! From day one meeting her in 3rd grade (she says 4th but she's wrong), I sat next to her with tears in my eyes, and she was forced into being my friend from that moment until the end of time. We've had many adventures together, childhood and adulthood. We've spent many hours at her old house fishing, canoeing, and swimming in the pond where she lived. I’ve loved doing life with you my holly bear, and I hope you know how many bright days you added to every season of my life! Holly is actually the reason me and Jamal were ever introduced! She's has been with me through many of life's ups and downs, and I feel blessed to have her by my side on mine and Jamal's wedding day, the way she was the first day we ever met. I love you Holly Rae!
Kaeleb Moubarak
Groomsman
Kaeleb is the oldest out of all the siblings, and being around him for only a few minutes you can see how much he loves being a big brother. Not only loves it, but is so good at it! Kaeleb is such an important part of our lives, he loves so deeply without judgment and he has open arms to many. He is so fun to be around, and he's so incredibly smart on things he's passionate about! He know's all things car's, especially BMW related! In the summer you can catch him on the lake every weekend with us, boating or showing off his jet ski tricks! In the winter he'll be hitting jumps and going down the slopes any chance he can get!! We’re so excited for what his bright future holds as he’s a senior with endless possibilities that we know he’ll crush! We love you so very much, and we're so excited to have you be apart of our special day!
Alaina & Lilah Moubarak
Bridesmaid
Lilah & Laney are my beautiful bonus girls and I'm so happy that they'll be by my side on mine and their dad's big day! These two amazing young ladies are the best big sisters, and we've loved seeing them step into the role of the loving, protective sisters as they've gotten older! (Even if they do add a little torment in the mix, as big sister do!) Their bond with one another is unmatched as they are so very similar, yet they have so many differences! Lilah loves collecting records and cd's, and Laney is insanely good at doing professional grade nails! They’re both so so smart, they love to read, binge whatever tv they’re into at the moment, and spending time with the family, and with their friends. My favorite memory yet with just them is when us three went diving for seashells in Florida for a couple hours, although I love all of our girl time together! They are wonderful, one of a kind girls that we are so lucky to love and laugh with!
Josh Lucas
Groomsman
Josh is Kellsey’s big brother, and he’s turned not only into my future brother in law, but into one of my closest most meaningful friends. I know he has been there as Kellsey’s protective older brother her whole life, and she’s spoken so much about their memories growing up, to the dad and future husband he will be now. Josh is a good man, goes to church, loves his fiancé, and takes big pride in being a dad. One of these days I’ll beat you on the golf course! We love you and thanks for being there by my side on our wedding day bro!
Lauren Lucas
Bridesmaid
My Laurens <3 My future sister in law. My beautiful, sweet, and loving friend. I hope you know how amazing you are every day. I hope you know that I love that you’re my brothers forever and that he’s yours. So me and Lauren actually played little league softball together many moons ago, so I knew her first Joshua! She’s always been a fierce, loyal, beyond driven person. Lauren’s the best mama to all of my nieces and nephews, I mean her babies lol, and she would truly give you the shirt off her back if you needed it. The most giving, selfless person. I love that our families do so much together, I love church every Sunday together, dinners, parties, and all of it in between. I love that our babies will grow up together, and I love that we will too. I love you so very much my laurens, thank you for being you and thank you for being by my side!
Amber Montgomery
Bridesmaid
My sweet friend Amber is unlike any other. She is truly down for the cause, the definition of ride or die. We have known each other for many, many years! Her sweet mama Shirley was a mom to me and a mom to many. No wonder Amber is who she is, she had a beautiful role model of what unconditional love should look like <3 Mama Shirl is so proud of the woman you continue to grow into, and she's always with you Amber Nicole. Amber's the type of friend you can talk to about anything, zero judgement and unfiltered advice. She would do anything for anyone she loves! She loves her 3 beautiful girls and she’s doing an amazing job raising those loving fun souls. Every time we talk she lifts me up, that’s just who Amber is, she’s such a pure full of love human being. I love our moments together, I love our real conversations, I love knowing we have a safe friendship, I love your donuts, and I love you!
Jenn & Jerry, Victor & Peggy
Parents of the Bride & Groom
Jen (Kellsey’s Mom) My mama is my best friend, my safe place, and my world. She would do anything for me, Jamal, and our babies. She takes so much pride in being her grandkids’ “Mammi” and might just be their favorite person. My first example of love came from her and my dad, whose beautiful love shaped how deeply I know how to love today. My mom and I share a bond I’d be lost without, and she loves Jamal as her own (maybe even more than me and I secretly love that). I’m so proud to call her my mother and my best friend. I love you, my mama. Jerry Jerry and my mom are such a fun, loving couple. When they met, Jerry was a yacht captain, and they shared many adventures from Miami to Boston before settling in Florida. We’re so happy they’re back in Ohio close to us, even though we miss those Florida days. Jerry loves his music, his shed time (lol), but most of all his wife, dogs, and grandkids. We love you, Pappi! Peggy & Victor (Jamal’s Mom & Dad) Peggy and Victor are the most loving Nana and Papa. Mom’s creativity shines through her thoughtful gifts, and Dad loves staying busy and cooking amazing meals. I have so many wonderful memories with them, and it means the world that they love Kellsey as their own. Thank you for the love you give our family and our children. We’re so grateful you’ll be with us on our biggest day. We love you, Nana and Papa.
Mark Lucas
Father of the Bride - In Loving Memory
My dad <3 My dad was such a special man. He loved his family fiercer than I’ve ever notably seen a person love their family. I have so many wonderful memories with my dad and my family. I wish we had so many more, but life had other plans. Anyone who knew my dad can to this day say he was the funniest, most electric yet chill, coolest, most handsome and friendliest man they knew. My dad’s passing caused a lot of shift in not just our families life, but close friends as well. That’s how you know how strong of a presence my dad was to this world and those who knew him, even briefly. My dad loved his golf and his fishing. He loved his Buckeyes and his Browns. He loved us. He loved us so much. He had many friends but the ones I remember as his bests were Mike Monus, Uncle Scott, & Carlos Rodela. Many laughs, drinks, vacations, parties, and memories overall with those families! I was my dad’s princess, and he let me know it all of the time. He loved his family so very much, and I’m so sad he couldn’t be here in person on my biggest days, but know he helped God hand pick my babies, and I know he’ll be right by my side on my wedding day. I know he loves Jamal and how far me and Jamal have come and I know he respects Jamal for the man he is to me and to our family. I know dad would be honored for Jamal to wear his wedding ring, as we intend for him to. I love and miss you so much dad. Thank you for the love and laughs you’ve given me and so many. I love you!
