Wedding Party
Sarah Johnson
Maid of Honor
Sarah and I met years ago when I moved to Cape Coral, FL. We immediately hit it off and became the very best of friends! She’s the friend that says “let’s do it” before I even finish the sentence. Equal parts chaos and comfort, my ride or die. She knows it all, and became my soul sister. From golfing, to pool days, to Mexico adventures, no matter the distance, there is no separating us!
Chrissy Rennard
Bridesmaid
Chrissy and I also met in Cape Coral, FL years ago. We worked on patrol together and immediately became besties for the resties! We spent all our time together in Florida, and continue to have the strongest bond, even though we are miles apart! She’s been my steady voice of reason, my biggest hype girl and the friend who shows up no matter what. From late-night talks to life’s biggest milestones, she’s been there for me, and I truly can’t imagine this chapter without her!
Heather Ryan
Bridesmaid
Heather and I met 10 years ago when I first started working for the Cedar Rapids Police Department. What started as a work friendship quickly turned into one of the most meaningful relationships. We’ve shared so many memories, laughs, celebrations, and everything in between! She has fire in her veins and the most loyal spirit, and I’m endlessly thankful for her friendship. Having her as a bridesmaid is such a special part of this journey.
Jacqueline Mullen
Bridesmaid
We met at work, but it didn’t take long for her to become so much more than just a coworker. She has the biggest heart and feels everything deeply- which is one of the things I love about her! She celebrates hard, loves harder, and is always the first to tear up over life’s special moments. My sentimental queen- her heart is pure gold. I’m beyond grateful that a job brought me one of my forever friends.
Adam Herrig
Best Man
Adam and Julio met at work and quickly became friends. Golfing, traveling, game nights and spending time with friends have become a favorite for these two! Although they haven’t known each other long, they have plenty of embarrassing stories to share! A lifelong friend and trusted sidekick- Adam has been there for Julio and is always the person to say yes to the next adventure!
Brian Dennis
Groomsman
Brian and Lea have known each other for years, and the moment that he met Julio, it was a hit! Brian has a knack for telling stories, and no matter what it is, he’ll have you on the floor laughing until it hurts. Brians friendship means the world to Lea, and Julio felt the same. We can’t imagine celebrating without him. He brings the energy, the humor, and the good vibes everywhere he goes!
Ian Compton
Groomsman
Ian has known Julio long enough to have some questionable stories, most of which we hope will stay off the mic! He’s loyal, dependable, and always ready with a laugh! These two could go on and on for hours talking finance and real estate! Even though Ian moved to another state, the two stay in touch and don’t miss a beat when reconnecting!
Bruce Payne
Groomsman
Bruce and Julio have been friends for over 13 years, and partners at work for most of that time! He’s been a close friend and they’ve experienced a lot of life’s moments together! It’s lucky for all of us there wont be a karaoke mic, because Bruce would be the shining star! You can always count on him to answer the tech questions and has any tool you might need to fix something! He’ll be there anytime you need him, and we feel blessed to have him here for our day!
Samantha Novotny
Honorary Bridesmaid
Samantha is Lea’s sister and she wanted to make sure she was included as she is incredibly special to Lea and Julio! Samantha is an Honorary Bridesmaid and will be walking down the aisle with her daughter and the Flower Girl, Brooklyn. We love them both so much and are so glad they get to be apart of our special day!
Brooklyn Rose
Junior Bridesmaid
Brooklyn is Lea’s niece and of course we had to include her in our special day! We love her so much and are so excited to have her apart of our day!
