Ralph and Carmen Meyer

Ralph and Carmen Meyer are the parents of Lexi. They have been married for 31 years in counting and have raised 3 beautiful children. Lexi is the youngest of the 3.
Jason and Julie Hemmelgarn
Father and Mother of The Groom
Jason and Julie Hemmelgarn are Jackson's parents. They have been married for 26 years in counting. They have 4 wonderful children and Jack is the 2nd oldest of the 4.
Kala Meyer
Maid of Honor
Meet Lexi's favorite sister! Get out the trough. Older, smarter, and better looking (I may have lied) than Lexi, Kala has seen Jack and Lexi in all ways, shapes, and forms. She has loved them through it all and will always be there for them. Don't worry she will be having plenty of fun on the big day, you'll notice her!
Jake Hemmelgarn
Best Man
Meet Jack's younger brother Jake. Jake is taller, better looking, and more like Jason than Jack is (I may have lied). Jack and Jake grew up always playing sports together, and now they finally get to be teammates for the Southside Softball team. Let's hope Jake's dance moves are better than his playstation skills!
Jena Meyer
Bridesmaid
Jena is Lexi's one and only sister-in-law! Jena is a wonderful sister, friend, and mother. When drinking Jena takes on a Canadian accent. She's a sharp shooter in beer darts and sure knows how to have a good time! Jack really has to put his game face on to live up to Ralph and Carmen's expectations of a son-in-law since Jena set the bar high for in-laws.
Seth Meyer
Groomsman
Seth, Sezzi, and/or Snuffleupagus is Lexi's older brother. Seth did everything a big brother should growing up. He protected Lexi, picked on Lexi, but also supported her. Seth was even at Lexi's soccer game when she received a red card, then went back home and helped Lexi's dad line the driveway with painted "red cards" and decorated the house with red playing cards. Seth blessed Lexi in the best way by asking her to be his son's godmother. Seth is married to Jena, and Jack and Lexi look up to their marriage and want to emulate it themselves going forward. Seth is also a closet Cardi B fan...
Joelle Hemmelgarn
Bridesmaid
Joelle is Jackson's favorite older sister. She is the 2nd best Spikeball player in the family, and is always down for a good competition. Lexi also grew up playing softball with Joelle and working at Dairyland with her. She is one of the hardest working people we know, and Lexi and Jack have always looked up to her. Joelle gets her dance moves from Fred, so it should be interesting to see.
Kyle McKibben
Groomsman
Kyle and Jack have been together since day one, literally, they were born only a few hours apart. Jack spent a lot of his time as a young child at Kyle's house playing endless hours of wiffle ball, basketball, video games, and swimming in his pool. From turning double plays to scoring touchdowns for the Cavs, Jack and Kyle have done it all together. Kyle and his girlfriend Liv have always supported Lexi and Jack and are always a good time to be around. If you see someone that looks like Joey Tribbiani, don't get excited it is just Kyle.
Jordan Hemmelgarn
Bridesmaid
Meet Jordan, Jack's youngest sister. She helps to keep Jack and Lexi in the loop with hip new lingo and she's a TikTok fiend. She has been one of Jack's supporters his whole life, and hypes him up when Jack pretends to be funny. She'll be out on the dance floor showing off her learned TikTok dances, and she challenges all of you to a dance off.
Kraig Schoenherr
Groomsman
If it rains on the big day, Kraig will bring the "Sunshine." Kraiger has always been Jack's good friend. They grew up playing sports together, Kraig even TRIED to play basketball. He once stole the ball 3 times in a row only to dribble and kick the ball out of bounds, never being able to try and attempt a wide open lay-up. Even though basketball didn't work out, Jackson was glad to have Kraig on the football field with him. You'll know which one is him, because he'll have the best hair at the wedding.
Molly Hess
Bridesmaid
By Golly Miss Molly, has been one of Lexi's longest friends ranging back to 4th grade. From prank phone calling to watching our boys play softball, we have been through it all! Molly always seems to have a smile on her face, and like Ted, is always a great time to be around. If the wedding night is successful, Molly may end up cuddling a shower curtain. (IYKYK)
Theodore Fisher
Groomsman
Also known as Ted, Teddy, or Theo, this man has been one of Jack and Lexi's bestfriends throughout highschool and college. You never know what you'll get into when hanging out with this dude. Put him on the aux and there is no way there is music played after the 2000's, unless it's Cardi B. (Also the fiance of Molly Hess)
Skylar Muhlenkamp
Bridesmaid
Skylar is one of Lexi's good friends since middle school. They grew up eating a lot of Little Caesar's cheese pizza, ballin' at CYO, and living up the college life together! Skylar is funny, and honest, and a great time to be around! She might whip out some of her awesome bartending skills at the wedding, and everyone would then be bound to have a great time!
Brandon Forsthoefel
Groomsman
Gibby is his name, do not even bother calling him Brandon. Gibby was one of Jack's college roommates and also Jack's center in football, protecting Jack in many different ways. Whatever you do, do not throw rocks in his pond and do not touch the thermostat in his house. Some people, Jared, call him "Gibby 'Go Buh' Forsthoefel", it fits perfectly. Also ladies, Gibby is single. Give him a call or text at 419-852-1544, he is a good time trust me.
Courtney Bettinger
Bridesmaid
Courtney is Lexi's family first (cousin) but one of her longest friends by choice! One time they spent 13 days straight together. They were pool rats together, spent a lot of time in the park, did blindfolded makeovers, and now they enjoy Mexican food with some margaritas. They grew up working together too, eating an unbearable amount of freeze pops while lifeguarding and now Lexi helps out at the daycare where Courtney teaches! Needless to say they are inseparable. Courtney has the best singing voice ever, so if you still need a wedding singer, hit her up. She'll be watching Jack and Lexi's wedding from the front row this time though!
Malave Bettinger
Groomsman
Meet Malave, Lexi's cousin (on both sides) and Jack's good friend. Jack and Lexi cannot get away from this guy. Malave played football and baseball with Jack and was a huge part of the success. If you do not know Malave, don't worry you will know who he is by the end of the night. You can either find him doing the gator on the floor or reenacting Rudy's speech. He is the guy at the wedding that puts the tie on his head. He is single too, ladies can send an application to his mom, sorry there is a waiting list.
Emily Meredith
Bridesmaid
Here is Emily! She is the one wedding party member that everyone will be asking "who is she", since she's originally from Akron. Lexi met Emily freshman year of college at BGSU and they have been building an unbreakable friendship since. Peep Emily out on the dance floor TRYING to follow along with the square dancing. Fellas, she is single to everyone, but Gibby. (That's a long story)
Aaron Harlamert
Groomsman
A1 since Day 1, literally, Jack and Aaron have been bestfriends for as long as they can remember. From grabbing bats for the varsity baseball team at 5 years old, to scoring touchdowns for the Cavs on Friday nights, they have done it all. We all can't wait till "Teach Me How To Dougie" comes on so we can flashback to 8th grade D.C. trip!
Josie Luthman
Bridesmaid
To be honest, Lexi and Josie grew up being enemies until 2nd grade. Oh how the times have changed. Lexi and Josie spent all of elementary and middle school riding the bus together, using their crazy imagination. They even played the same sports together, and used code words to eat food on the bus without being caught. Lexi and Josie both also went to Bowling Green where their bond grew even stronger (and wilder). Josie will be showing off her moves like she is at Uptown freshman year dancing to Black Beatles.
Andy Brunet
Groomsman
6 foot 9 and a helluva time. He will be drinking Busch Light and will be either giving you a high five or waving his finger in the air, you will know who it is when you see him. Andy and Jack played basketball together along with Aaron, they created a ton of fun memories both on the court and off of the court. Andy loves the song "Kno One" by Kevin Gates and has a shoe size so big that Jack is worried about what shoes he should wear for the wedding. Jack may have to try BigShoes.com . ****Andy is the future fiance of Josie****
Matt Siefring
Usher
Matt is one of Jack's cousins, and some know him as Fred Jr. Jack and Matt have been best buds forever and would play any and all sports in grandpas front yard. They were always teammates during Fred's Sunday Night Football games and have a 68-5 record in those games. Matt and Erica (Matt's future fiance) have always supported Jack and Lexi and are always up for a great compliment (nice shirt Matt). Matt will be the best square dancer there, after Jeanette, and will be a great time to be around on the big day.
Jared Pleiman
Usher
Meet Jared, Lexi and Jacks personal photographer. He has always been there for Jack and Lexi and is always up for a good time. Jared played football and baseball with Jack where they made many fun memories. Jared has a great taste in music and is a firefighter. He is single too, not sure how though. This dude is about as smooth of a talker as it gets. Find him dancing and having a good time, he is also a big tie on the head type of guy.
Grayson Meyer
Ring Bearer
Grayson Paul is Seth and Jena's son. He is Lexi and Jack's first nephew, and is just a "little" spoiled! He is the cutest (almost) 2 year old ever. He will definitely steal the show and the night!
