A Celebration of Our Wedding Vows
Wedding Party
April Salazar
Matron of Honor
April hired me in 2018, about a year before I met Jim. She quickly went from my boss to my bestie. She is my ride-or-die and I am so excited that she will be standing next to me when I say "I do" to my person.
Michelle Kurtz
Bridesmaid
I met Michelle through her husband, Adam, while playing co-ed softball. She has become one of my closest confidantes and one of my biggest supporters. We always have so much fun together, no matter what we are doing. I am so happy to have both Michelle and Adam standing with us as we say our vows.
Jenny Sager
Bridesmaid
I also met Jenny while playing co-ed softball. She is a modern renaissance woman, the life of the party, and I always enjoy spending time with her because I can be 100% unapologetically me.
Brittany Heiman
Bridesmaid
I met Brittany in college. Our friendship has been going strong for over 15 years and she has been witness to my evolution as a person. Although we have been apart for many years, every time we connect it feels like no time has passed at all.
Jenna Johnson
Bridesmaid
Jenna and I met in elementary school and she is my first American friend. We have shared 26 years of friendship and many experiences that have helped shape me into the person I am today.
Carolyn Dukes
Bridesmaid
I met Carolyn through Jim. We love spending time with Carolyn, her husband, Chuck, and their dog, Miller Bear, and we are very lucky to live just down the street from them. She is such a kind and generous person and I am happy that Jim brought her into my life.
Payton Reilly
Flower Girl
Payton is my niece. She is the daughter of my brother, Keith, and his wife, Jess. She lights up every room she walks into. I am so excited for everyone to meet her.
Weston Reilly
Ring Bearer
Weston is my nephew. He is the son of my brother, Keith, and his wife, Jess. A literal reincarnation of my brother with blonde hair. He will be in charge of a bubble machine at the wedding...fair warning to you all.
Zak Hosier
Groomsman
AKA: Zakie. Jim's younger brother. Currently living in Seattle, Washington, he works for Space X. Zak was unfortunately forced to play every sport with Jim and entertain him. I love him like a brother.
Adam Dippel
Groomsman
AKA: Cleveland Adam. Jim and Cleveland Adam were childhood friends growing up in Cleveland, Ohio. Adam and Jim, along with Joe Tags and Patrick J, compiled an undefeated record against Zakie and his cronies in basketball.
Jordon Bial
Groomsman
Jordon is Jim's cousin. Jordon, always an engineer, assembled Jim's lego sets and other toys when they were younger. Later in life, they both reunited in Navarre, FL, living just minutes away from each other.
Adam Kurtz
Groomsman
AKA: Kentucky Adam. He bleeds Kentucky blue. Lauren introduced Adam to Jim while playing tournament softball in Panama City, FL. They have personally watched over 10,000+ hours of sporting events together.
Kyle Hill
Groomsman
Jim met Kyle in the Air Force while stationed at Hurlburt Field, FL. Unfortunately a Xichigan fan. Jim relies on Kyle to build smokeless fires and help him improve his golf game.
Rey Aguila
Groomsman
AKA: Rey Rey. Rey Rey is Jim's eldest nephew. One of the funniest people on earth, Rey Rey is always the life of the party. And, together with his Aunts, are the biggest Cleveland Browns and Indians fans in the known universe.
Aaron Dippel
Usher
AKA: Lil' Bill. Cleveland Adam's younger brother. Jim and Cleveland Adam coached Lil' Bill's football team at Ascension Elementary, where they became champions and the banner still hangs, to this day. He later joined the Lawyer Cats on the basketball court helping to defeat the evil axis powers of Zakie's team.
Phil Williams
Officiant
AKA: Philbilly. Philbilly and Jim met while working at the 11th Intel Squadron, Hurlburt Field, FL. A West Virginia Mountaineer, Philbilly indoctrinated Jim into the American Legion Post 0382 where he is the Chaplin.
