Allison McDonald
Maid of Honor
Maddie and I met in 2016 at the beginning of our freshman year of college at Kent State. We quickly became friends & our friendship has only continued to grow stronger. Over the years, we have made the most incredible memories traveling together, working as teachers together & being roommates. I will forever treasure our special friendship!

Jacob, 4 years ago you were about to embark on a new journey with the Coast Guard and if you would have told me that 5 years later you were going to be a Dad and Married I would have thought you were crazy! But here you are now and you’re doing it man! So proud of you, Maddie and my little dude Emmitt! Cheers to the next chapter of your book of life!

Maddie & I became instant friends Summer 2021 when Jacob introduced us. That same summer we both found out we were going to be moms. Now our little boys are best friends/ cousins. Maddie is the best addition to our family. And I love creating memories and spending time with her.

Along with Madison, I too met Jacob during our 8th grade year in the late Mr. Capito’s English class. Extroverted, intelligent and class clowns alike, we quickly bonded. Jake and I were quick to find out we shared a similar walking route home after school and then realized we had only grown up a few streets away from each other despite attending different elementary schools. We’d soon become inseparable. A friendship that formed instantly, has and will last eternally.

I met Maddie officially the first week of college. We met from an incoming freshman group chat. What bonded us was our Education major and her bringing me a right flip flop when mine broke in the middle of campus. We got to be dorm roommates, apartment roommates, and then house mates!

Me and Jake met in 6th grade when we both had a crush on the same girl, but instead of fighting over her, we became best friends. Over the years we got into a lot of hijinks: became 2 of the best call of duty zombies players in the world, made some fire rap songs, met some very strange people living together in Seattle, then we moved back to Ohio to stay with Brayden. In high school Jake, Brayden, Bouska and I called ourselves “the crew” and we hung out all the time, to this day all 4 of us are still close friends and are all flourishing into extremely handsome gentlemen.

Maddie and I met our freshman year of college at Kent State. Since then, we have become great friends and have made so many fun memories together! We’re able to keep in touch despite our busy lives and I love catching up every time we see each other. She is a true friend and i’m so blessed to have her in my life!

Jake and I met in January of 2021 when he reported to AirStation Sacramento. From the day we shook hands our friendship escalated to a brotherhood. We quickly became family and although the service has separated us by thousands of miles, nothing has changed. The best way I can describe our brotherhood is like those spontaneous days that take you doing something you never imagined but will remember forever. There is never a dull moment being with jake and I am incredibly thankful to be apart of this special day.

Maddie and I met at the ripe age of newborns. We used to put on shows for our family — Maddie was the director, and the rest of us cousins starred in them. We were always cousin-friends, but we became real friends in our teenage years. My favorite memory with Maddie is from our trip to New York together, when we went to see Wicked and Maddie slept through Defying Gravity. So excited to get to be a part of this special day!

I met Jake freshman year of high school. It began with Mike Schuller sitting with me at lunch and got introduced to Jake while we were walking home one of the first few days of the year. Over time during those walks, we learned to always have each others backs, and a good time while doing it. From ballin on the courts to claiming the iron throne, friendships like this last a lifetime.
