Lee & Lisa
Wedding Party
John Jacobson
Best Man
John is my older brother, so I've pretty much know the guy my whole life. Growing up, I was the crash test dummy for my 2 older brothers, but thankfully not too many bones or noses were broken. As we grew older, we have developed a close friendship and value the time we get to spend together since we live so far apart. I am very thankful to have John stand up as my best man.
Chelsea Beach
Maid of Honor
Chelsea and I met in Chicago bar tending at Moes Cantina where we would later spend many hours of our life making some of our best memories. This lady is my best friend and has been the rock to help drive me through some of life's most challenging moments. She's a passionate and energetic ball of fun and always the life of the party (Like my fiance). I'm pretty sure Chelsea and Lee are the same person, which is why they're two of my favorite people :) Over the years, we've had the opportunity to take many memorable trips together, including our girls trip to Nashville, Key West, Tomorrow World and Bimini. I'm thankful to have her be part of one of the biggest days of my life!!
Felix Lerma
Groomsman
Lee is my big brother (Lisa) and 11 years older than me. I don't have a lot of childhood memories of us since he went off to college when I was 8, but we have made up for those memories in our adulthood. My brother is someone I've always looked up to and admired. He's one of the most giving people I know. Him and I enjoy traveling together, whether its zip lining through the mountains in Hawaii, plunging into the ocean in a submarine, or whale watching in San Francisco, we're always having fun. He's always challenged me throughout the years to work harder, and be mindful of my energy into the world. Coincidence that the love of my life has the same name as my brother? We're so happy to have Lee share this special day with us.
Danielle Lipsius
Matron of Honor
Danielle and I met at Moes Cantina in Chicago where we both were bartending our way through college. She and I have developed one of my most treasured friendships. She is humble, grounded and always helps remind me of the good in everything. We were "music festival buddies" when we both lived in Chicago and would spend hours exploring the city, attending concerts/ music festivals and having the time of our life. My favorite trip with her and Chelsea will always be Nashville & Tomorrow World!! I'm so happy she will be spending this special day standing by my side!
Michael Dublo
Groomsman
Mike and I go all the way back to the fourth grade in Mrs. Sippola's class, and we've been friends ever since. Throughout high school our group of friends were virtually inseparable. We may not talk or see each other as much as we would like sometimes, but I still call this man one of my brothers.
Rebecca Lerma
Bridesmaid
Rebecca is my older sister, so.... our relationship started many years ago with her picking on me or conning me into doing her chores. As we grew older, she ventured right into motherhood and I moved to Chicago for college. When I moved back to Ohio in 2016 we got the chance to spend more time together going to festivals, and concerts or spending time with the kids. I'm happy she will get to stand by me as I step into my next big life adventure.
Gabriel Rodriguez
Groomsman
When we moved to South Florida, I was lucky enough to have Gabriel as one of the teammates on my crew at work. Since then, we quickly became friends and I was fortunate enough to attend his wedding in Cuba last year. Gabriel has always been a stand up, genuine and honest friend of mine and I am honored to have him stand with me while I say my vows.
Laura Boger
Bridesmaid
Laura is my oldest friend, we go way back to elementary days, and I consider her family. We've been friends since the 1st grade, and literally spent every day together until about 5th grade when she moved away and broke my heart. We kept in touch throughout the years, but really rekindled our friendship back in 2012 when she asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. This girl has a heart of gold and would do anything for the people she loves, shes loyal and honest, and sincere to the core. I can't wait for her to be there to help me celebrate this big moment in my life!
Ricky Marinelli
Groomsman
This guy is one of the best friends I have ever had. We were always together growing up, whether it was sneaking around to raid the liquor cabinet as teenagers or hanging out until the early hours of the morning on one of our front porches. The memories we share have helped me through many tough times. I couldn't imagine celebrating this day without him.
Kelli Smith
Bridesmaid
Kelli and I met in Findlay Ohio about 15 years ago. We both come from a small town but have BIG personalities and it showed! I've always felt like her and I had such similar personalities and backgrounds. We developed an even stronger friendship over these last few years when I moved back to Ohio and now to Florida. She is classy, and sassy, but humble and loyal all in one! I would trust her with anything. I'm excited she will be there by my side.
Ron Geary
Groomsman
Ron and I have been friends since 7th grade. We could usually be caught together causing trouble in high school, but some of those ridiculous memories we made together will last us a lifetime. The man is a dedicated father and husband, and has always made me feel proud to be his friend. I'm thankful to have him stand with me.
Maegan Fasnacht
Bridesmaid
Maegan and I are cousins but more importantly best friends. This picture pretty much sums up our goofy friendship. We reconnected when I moved back to Ohio in 2014 and our bond has only grown from there, sharing many memories in Lakewood bar hopping or Karaoke jam sessions. Lisa and Maegan have also developed a friendship through their love for me, or their love to pick on me We're both thankful to have her be part of our big day!
Igor Brin
Groomsman
Igor has been a friend of mine since junior high, and is by far one of the most intelligent men I know. Not only is he family oriented and down to earth, but a great father and loyal friend. We don't get to see each other near as often as we would like to anymore, but each time we do it's like not a minute has gone by. I am honored to have this man stand with me on my wedding day.
Vanessa Roush
Bridesmaid
Vanessa and I met back in highschool when I transferred to Arcadia. She was one of the first people to make me feel welcome. She is one of the hardest working women I know, and has a heart of gold with a personality full of sass!! We have not had the opportunity to spend as much time together over the last few years due to life and distance, but I'm so thankful for her and our friendship. I look forward to sharing this special day with her.
William Booker
Groomsman
This guys heart is as large as any man I have ever met. From being a second father to one of my nieces, to becoming one of my best friends and dance partner. Will has always been someone I look forward to sharing a laugh and a beer with, I'm a lucky man to have him stand with me.
Aubrey Sopher
Bridesmaid
Aubrey and I met in Highscool when I transferred to Arcadia and she was one of the first friendships I developed. We've shared so many of life's ups and down throughout our 20 year friendship, but have always been a support system for each other whether we were one town apart or 5 states apart. Aubrey is sassy and outspoken...kind of like me...that's probably why we get along so well. She would do anything to protect the people she loves, and has always had my back through the years! I'm happy she will be there to celebrate this moment.
Brandon Carver
Groomsman
Brandon and I have been friends for over 15 years. Through all of the years, and different cities I've lived, Brandon always made time to visit me and Baylee. I introduced Lee and Brandon back in 2017, knowing they would hit it off. They've developed a good friendship since then (especially since this is the first boyfriend of mine Brandon actually approved of! :) We're thankful to have Brandon share this special day with us.
Betty Fryman
Bridesmaid
Betty and I met while bar tending at Moe's Cantina in 2013 and developed a friendship over our love for fun! She is a firecracker and full of energy. My most memorable moments together are exploring the Chicago city, going to Cubs games, or drinks after work. Although we live far apart now, we still make time to keep in touch. I'm thankful she will be there to share this day with me.
Michael Jacobson
Ring Bearer
Not only will this incredibly handsome son of mine be carrying our rings, but he will be standing as my junior groomsman. To have my son stand with me during one of the biggest moments of my life makes my heart full. I love this munchkin.
Amina Ahmed
Bridesmaid
I met Amina when we were in college at UIC in Chicago. We were the two girls in the back of the lecture with UGGS, and Starbucks everyday.... on our phones. We connected instantly and spent many hours over the years studying or decompressing from school stress exploring the city of Chicago making memories. I admire her friendship and ability to help keep me on my toes on today's fashion.......she's definitely my best dressed friend! I'm honored to have her be by my side.
