Maid of Honor
Sam and I have been best friends for over 15 years. This girl moved from Atlanta, GA to my hometown when we were sophomores and she’s the best thing to come out of those high school days. Shes been a ride or die friend and having her by my side on my wedding day is what dreams are made of! I couldn’t do all of this without her! Sammy has been such a light in my life and having her be my maid of honor was the easiest choice ever! Let’s give it up for Sam!!!
Bridesmaid
My tailgate buddy, the coworker that turned into a best friend for life, my fellow NICU nurse- this girl is the life of the party, loves her two kittens Frankie and Pippa, hyrox, and all things fitness! Can’t wait to have you by my side!!!
Bridesmaid
Audrey and I met in college at the University of Tampa, we were assigned as random roommates and we hit it off from day 1! She loves all things Taylor Swift, went to high school in the US Virgin Islands (St. Croix) and loves her two cats and her life in Tampa Bay!
Bridesmaid
Ali is also another coworker turned bestie! The best NICU NP in the game, the sweetest friend and also newly engaged to her fiancé Rob- can’t wait to have you by my side! It’s been so much fun to chat about all things wedding with you (and the stress it causes)! Love you!
Bridesmaid
You know when you have a first cousin who’s also your bestie?! This is Haley. We were born two months apart and our mom’s are sisters! Having her as a cousin so close in age was the most fun growing up and I’m so lucky to have her by my side!
Bridesmaid
This is Mara! Jake’s twin sister!!! And in case you didn’t realize Jake and I are both twins. I have a twin brother and he has a twin sister! I was the most excited/nervous to meet her but as soon as we met I knew we’d be friends and now future SIL’s! Can’t wait to celebrate with you
Bridesmaid
Mallory’s husband Greg is basically like my third brother. He is best friends with both of my brothers and they all even lived together for a few years! When Greg started dating Mallory, I knew we’d be friends forever. Her and Greg got married last May, and I cannot wait to have this girl by my side! From friends turning into family, I can’t wait for more adventures ahead!
Best Man
Andy and Jake are longtime friends dating back to high school. Much to his chagrin Andy was not apart of the Fein dog homeroom group even though he desperately persisted through rejection after rejection. After running in the same circles much of high school it wasn't until after living together for Senior Week that their friendship truly began to blossom. Andy and Jake attended Temple University together where they lived together during their 4 years there with Yelson. Over time their friendship has developed into a true brotherhood and they have even allowed the inclusion of Andy's little brother Fredric into learning the ways of adulthood. Andy's better half is Katie who has seamlessly joined the group as if she had been there from the start. After years of experiences together, Jake is excited to have Andy by his side and is looking forward to future adventures together.
Groomsman
A longtime friend dating back to high school other wise known as ZJules, Zingus, Zeus, or Dr. Pungus. Zach and Jake first met in 9th grade homeroom with Fein dog in the slime soccer arena. They stayed close over the years through college and the occasional surprise village Wednesday visit. This guy went from getting awards for helping clean up "shitty" situations, working hard at weekend school to running his own Physical Therapy practice. Zach is married to Hannah who accepts being called Hank at times and is the first dad of the group. With another bun in the oven Hannah has been a great addition to the crew fitting right in and putting up with all the antics. Getting to be apart of seeing them create their family together has been a special experience. After many years of experiences together, it's great to have Zach as a part of this life event and all those still to come.
Groomsman
A longtime friend dating back to middle school, other wise known as Yelson or Zac "hold the h", actually met Mara first. Jake and Zac first met in 8th grade Spanish class and he also was apart of the infamous 9th grade homeroom with Fein dog and the slime soccer arena. Zac and Jake continued their friendship in college where they both attended Temple University living together over their 4 years there. Zac is another teacher compatriot who decided it would be a good idea to teach kids about AP Government. Zac is recently engaged to Mariana who is all in on going by Mo. As two of the last bachelors in the group it only makes sense that they wrap up their single lives at the same time with Zac getting married this July. After years of adventures including attending their first orchestra together, Jake is excited to have Zac by his side and return the favor in July.
Groomsman
Jackson is Kelsey’s twin brother and yes that means we are both twins, but no he can't date my sister she is already married with 3 kids. Jake and Jackson first met at For Pete's Sake to watch the Eagles and Cowboys game. It turned out Jackson already had some long lost connection through playing soccer with Jake's friends Andy and Yelson. Believe it or not Jackson is more outgoing than Kelsey and it was easy becoming friends right off the bat. Jackson is always up for a good time and Jake is looking forward to having a new brother.
Groomsman
Matthew is Kelsey’s older brother. It took some time for Jake and Matthew to meet, since he was out in Seattle living on west coast time and tearing up the Rocky Mountains on his snowboard. However, once they met it turned out they were cut from similar cloths and it was easy to build a friendship. Matthew much like Jake is much more laid back than Kelsey and it was easy becoming friends. Matthew is an avid snowboard trip trader and not only enjoys the occasional pint but also designing the artwork on the cans. Jake is looking forward to Matthew becoming a new brother.
Groomsman
Ian is Jake's first brother in law (Mara's husband). Ian is a big fan of rocks and working from home. When Ian isn't making a dangerous drink for someone else, as Kelsey found out the hard way, he is indulging in a cosmo of his own. Jake and Ian have grown closer over the years as Ian and Mara have gotten married and started their family. Since Kelsey came into the picture there has been more family trips to the zoo, local breweries/wineries and the lake. Now that everything has come full circle it is exciting to share this first milestone experience and be a part of our big day.
Officiant
Greg aka. Mr. G is a longtime Flail family friend and like a 3rd brother to Kelsey. A natural born renaissance man, most would consider him an international man of mystery.
Ring Bearer
This kid is the life of the party, silly and wild!! The best big brother to his siblings!
Ring Bearer
Although younger than his brother, don’t underestimate this little guy! He’s a force to be reckoned with 😂
Flower Girl
The sassiest, cutest flower girl to ever exist!
