Wedding Party
Justin Laswell
Officiant
He's known us throughout our whole relationship from the moment we met at Ertel's. It only seems right that he will be the one to officially marry us after all this time. He is more than just a friend, he is my day one lifelong pal! We grew up together and he has always been someone who I know I can count on! Beyond excited for you to step into this role for us!
Nicole Betscher
Maid of Honor
Nicole: my platonic soulmate, angel of a friend, sweetest girl you'll ever meet. We met in 2018 during our freshman year at the University of Cincinnati, since our dorm rooms were right next to each other. That freshman year was not for the weak, but Nicole was really the only 'sane' one on that dorm floor. After freshman year, she called me up and said she had extra tickets to Bunbury and I was pretty much convinced she was the coolest person I'd ever met. She's one of the only people who would still want to be my friend after 4 long days sleeping in a hot tent and listening to me and my mom argue. Through many bad relationships, moving to different states multiple times, and about 4 music festivals (and 2 Bonnaroo cancellations) later, I absolutely couldn't imagine my life without her in it!
Cody Lunsford
Best Man
My older brother and oldest friend! Our childhood together set the foundation for the person I am today. From skateboarding to dirtbikes and everything in between, he has always been there to pick me up when I fall! I am honored to call my caring, genuine, kind, and nerdy brother my Best Man!
Kira Jo White
Bridesmaid
My sweet baby sister, my little mini-me. Kira feels like my own child honestly, with how much of a little mother I tried to be when she was born. I still see her as her 10-year old self, so smiley and sassy. Now, she's definitely still sassy, but more of a moody and angsty teenager (with all love of course, because who wasn't). Despite her stealing half my wardrobe and always being in the bathroom right when I need to wash my face, she is truly one of my best friends. I've never laughed harder than when we're together over inside jokes that make no sense to anyone around us. I love her more than life itself and can't wait to continuously embarrass her for the rest of her life!
Carver Lunsford
Groomsman
My younger brother who rounds out the trio. When we’re together it’s nothing but laughter and unexplainable antics. I’m so glad I get to take him under my wing as a groomsman, for the most important day of my life.
Mollie Gladden
Bridesmaid
Mollie and I met at the University of Cincinnati through our business honors program, but didn't become close friends until 2021. We always seemed to be around each other because of mutual friends and social events, but it wasn't until we followed each other on Twitter that we realized how much we had in common. She is my most brutally honest friend, and also the one who will support my bad decisions 100% of the time. She's who you go to when you KNOW you're in the wrong, but still need someone to agree with you regardless before she tells you "yeah...maybe not though". Mollie always knows how to make you laugh and kills it at throwing a good themed event. I couldn't imagine my day without her!
Abigail Shipman
Bridesmaid
I met Abigail while moving Nicole into her apartment a few years ago and again when Abigail later moved to Cincinnati. She has the most infectious laugh and glowing smile. She is one of those people I just instantly clicked with; I knew we would be good friends when we bonded over our love of The 1975 and our 2013 Tumblr phase. She has such a sweet heart and never fails to make me feel special. I'm so grateful to have met her!
Katelyn White
Bridesmaid
My last name twin (for now)! Katelyn is such a sweetheart and never fails to make everyone around her smile. She is one of those genuinely down-to-earth people who wouldn't even hurt a fly; I know, how cliche, but it's true! She is one of those people that will always make you feel included and valued, and is one of the smartest and kindest people I know. I met Katelyn through my friend Mollie, and I'm so grateful to have these two girls in my life.
Kylie Jones
Junior Bridesmaid
My sweet little cousin. I remember when her mom (my aunt) had me as a junior bridesmaid in her wedding, and it was such a special thing to be included like that. Kylie is such a kind-hearted, empathetic, and caring girl who is always looking out for others with such an amazing heart and love for animals. This will be the first wedding she's ever been a bridesmaid in and I couldn't be more happy for her to be apart of this special day!
