M+J
Wedding Party
Mary + Gary Karg
Parents of the Bride
+ little brother Woody lovers of all things University of Cincinnati // chef + artist // bourbon aficionados // simply the best
Debbie + Bruce Katz
Parents of the Groom
Debbie and Bruce played a crucial role in the development of their son Jared. Without them, who knows if Jared would’ve lived up to his potential. They are the two best coaches on the planet.
Kendall Karg
Matron of Honor
sista sista of the bride other mother // #1 pasta maker // word-smither // bubbly water lover // wife of another tall, kind, southern dude
Justin Katz
Best Man
The best man has known Jared longer than anyone in the bridal party. With 26+ years of experience, nobody is more qualified to be the best man. He has a dangerous hook shot when he gets inside the paint, and is the most dominant big man since Shaquille O’Neal.
Haley Hill
Maid of Honor
bride's bestie since 1st grade detention skyline chili lover // #GoCats // Chinese food and kitchen floor date partner // proposal secret keeper
Frankie Abad
Groomsman
Born an entire day ahead of the groom, Frankie brings much needed wisdom to the bridal party. When Frankie watched the 2011 World Series with a disgruntled Jared, it became very apparent that they would be friends for life. Jared’s former college neighbor and eventual roommate is versatile on both ends of the floor has a “filthy” midrange game.
Jenna Katz
Bridesmaid
lil sis of the groom coffe shop explorer // insta-famous // assigned seat dinner buddy // froyo-fanatic
Bradley Harmon
Groomsman
Going on 25+ years of shenanigans together, Bradley and Jared could be found creating their own language, playing video games, or reliving ridiculous stories from their childhood. Bradley’s basketball IQ and defensive intensity are off the charts.
Delaney Katz
Bridesmaid
the couple's sister in law dog mama // guacamole aficionado // badass nurse // #Gig'EmAggies
Josh Hoppenstein
Groomsman
Josh and Jared became friends due to a pool fight that they both found tremendously unnecessary at the age of 13. It wasn’t long after until they were living at each other’s homes every weekend until college. Josh is an underrated athlete with a smooth floater once he gets in the paint.
Brittney Churilla
Bridesmaid
college roomie of the bride life of the party // hiking buddy // chinchillas 4 ever // diet-coke-drinker // loves you even if you forget her real name sometimes
Max Intebi
Groomsman
Best of friends are made at recess, and Max and Jared’s friendship is no exception. They went through elementary school, Hebrew school, and BBYO together and hung out almost every other day for over 10 years. Max’s leadership skills and passing ability led to his legendary 3 on 3 hoops nickname - The Quarterback.
McKenzie Kinkead
Bridesmaid
the bride’s other Kenzie screamer of tay-swift // trivia queen // 2x dog mama // best apartment locator // sweater lover
Alex Rabhan
Groomsman
Ever since he arrived from Sweden, Alex and Jared have been as tight as his Lululemon pants. Nothing tells their story like epic Yu-gi-Oh duels, Super Smash Bros, and basketball rants. A true point guard, Alex is the floor general that this bridal party desperately needs.
Katie Riffe
Bridesmaid
fellow DAAP survivor with bride coffee whenever kinda gal // book fanatic // professional photographer // designer of cool stuff // hugger // will always buy the big bottle of champagne
Scott Sebert
Groomsman
Scott and Jared go way back, but really became close in middle school. The most active member of the squad, there is never a dull moment when Scott is around. Scott’s legendary speed and trash talking evoke comparisons of a more athletic Larry Bird.
Shelby Schaffer
Bridesmaid
brides’s college pal "like really funny" // dream chaser // random dance party thrower // queen of voice memos // award winning moscow mule bartender
Craig Tino
Groomsman
All it took was a University of Texas t-shirt to connect these two future roommates. Between wrestling, the Raider Bears, and spring break trips to Montreal, Craig and Jared spent nearly every day of college together. The strongest man in the bridal party, Craig is the enforcer of the squad with a lethal 3-point shot.
Rachel Weber
Bridesmaid
bride's college roomie + buddy goofy dance partner // marathon runner // tailor // ice-cream-run-any-time-of-day-gal // the reason bride had the courage to message the groom
Will Sebert
Honorary Groosman
One of Jared’s oldest and best friends, Will is always with us in spirit. He is an all around Superstar with a great tagline of "No Neggy Vibes".
