Jacquie & Josh
Wedding Party
Angie Carson
Maid of Honor
Coming in as one of the bride's first draft picks is Angie! Being the oldest Carson kid and Jacquie's roommate for ~11 years, Angie shared many special moments with the bride such as learning when to "put the baby night-night", caring for a love fern, and jamming to the Hamilton soundtrack all the way through not once, but twice on long roads trips. When Angie is not spoiling her "god-puppy", she is currently using her law degree as she is working at a private practice and coaching the Caledonia-Mumford cheerleading team.
MacKenna Carson
Maid of Honor
That's right folks, Jacquie has not one, but TWO maid of honors! "How?", you may ask. Well, it's a short story: She gave both her sisters the floor to choose who got to be the maid of honor, and who got to be the first godmother. They did not like their choices, and decided they would both be co-maid of honors. The next draft pick is Kenna, or "Poo". Being the youngest Carson kid, Kenna has put up with a lot over the years such as being woken up as a toddler in the early mornings by Jacquie, getting yelled at by Jacquie after surfing on a rocking chair not once, but TWICE, and getting to go on ample ice cream trips with both the bride and groom! Kenna is currently earning her undergraduate degree while working part time as an athletic training assistant and a pizza connoisseur.
Jenny Moore
Bridesmaid
Coming in hot is the bride's newest friend in the great state of Virginia, Jenny! Jacquie and Jenny met while attending various trivia nights and quickly became close friends when sticking out the pandemic together along side Josh and Eric, Jenny's boyfriend. They have already made many brilliant memories together such as planning Jenny's 25th birthday "bar crawl", surviving a ~20 tick attack when going on a walk, and playing many close and competitive games of Catan. Jenny is currently a school counselor for two elementary schools in Loudoun County.
Sienna Diaz
Bridesmaid
Up next we have Sienna! She and Jacquie were college roommates, and great friends! They used to hang out at the dining hall all the time, and after Jacquie went home to student teach, she would often come back and stay with Sienna such as during her February break and for their college graduation. The two ALWAYS had a good time when heading out to a night at the bars. In fact, Jacquie became so close to Sienna, she didn't even bat an eye when being told that Sienna and Becca had started dating. Both were present when Jacquie and Josh got engaged, and were able to experience the Waneta Inn later that evening.
Leah Silidjian
Bridesmaid
Next in our line up is Leah! She and Jacquie met in their residence hall during their freshman year at SUNY Oneonta. After moving in together, they began making numerous memories such as exploring the Rochester area together, driving to NYC with Josh, and singing on top of tables on various occasions! Leah was also present when Josh and Jacquie got engaged, and celebrated the occasion with them later that night at the Waneta Inn. Currently, this gem is working while completing her masters degree in Literacy and Special Education.
Scout
Dog of Honor
When planning the special day, both Josh and Jacquie could not imagine having their wedding without their best girl! Additionally, her 3rd birthday is May 28, 2021, so to leave her home during the weekend of her "21st birthday" could possibly be considered animal cruelty. For a dog, Scout is very well traveled as she has been to New York, Virginia, Washington DC, West Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, Georgia, and many more! She has been there for every big move Josh and Jacquie have made in recent years, and they are thrilled to have her there for yet another big adventure!
