Wedding Party
Ben Kebles
Best Man
Ben has been a lifelong friend of Tharin's since they homeschooled back in Delaware. Major life moments, a summer in Florida, too many games of Mario Kart and more memories to come.
Willa Benton
Maid of Honor
Willa is Mara’s favorite little sister and best friend from day one. Their bond is unbreakable, and there is no one else Mara would want by her side on this special day, sharing in the joy and love of the moment.
Austin Jones
Groomsman
Austin and Tharin met at Full Sail for college. The school's crazy schedule should have meant non-stop work, but "The Squad" (the friend group at Full Sail) made many memories. Austin and Tharin have stayed in touch ever since, making numerous trips to visit each other for vacations.
Kayden Hallett
Bridesmaid
Kayden and Mara met while dancing together at Universal, instantly connecting with silliness. Their friendship has been one of joy, love, and countless memories, and Mara is filled with gratitude to have Kayden by her side on her wedding day.

John and Tharin were homeschooled together, built LEGO sets together and grew up just miles apart. Now they will have been part of each other's weddings as life continues but friends stay the same.
Jillian Kurtz

Jonathan and Tharin have known each other for 20 years while the two grew up in Delaware and are now states away. Visits to Shelltown, building stick forts in the woods and family vacations through the years, this friendship is as strong as ever.
Ansley Wright
Bridesmaid
Ansley and Mara met in childhood dance class, and their bond has only deepened over the years. From high school and college to Alpha Chi Omega, cheer, Disney, and now each other's weddings, they’ve been intertwined through every beautiful chapter of life.
FAQs
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Semi-formal/garden party attire. Think nice sundresses, dressy jumpsuits, slacks and a button up. Keep in mind that we will be outside and walking for the day, so wear a comfortable shoe! And dress for Florida February, anywhere from fifty to eighty degrees. P.S. if you have not been asked to wear white and you do so anyway, Mara will cry. ;)
Question
How do I RSVP?
Answer
RSVPs are now closed. If you have any questions please reach out to Tharin or Mara.
Question
Where is the wedding?
Answer
Our wedding will be held entirely at Silver Springs State Park, Florida. We will be outside all day, so plan ahead for February Florida weather. Pleasant in the morning, and maybe a tad chilly once the sun goes down. (If you're not from Florida, you probably won't be cold.) The exact address is: 5656 E Silver Springs Blvd Silver Springs, FL 34488 United States
Question
Can I bring a guest?
Answer
Your invitation will indicate if you have a +1. Please note, due to limited venue space the guest list has been kept small. If there are any questions, please reach out!
Question
When should we arrive?
Answer
The ceremony begins at 3:00pm. We recommend arriving to the park no later than 2:30pm, as you will need to go through ticketing and walk through some of the park to get to our ceremony location.
Question
What's the parking situation?
Answer
Free and there's plenty of it! Please park in the main guest parking area, which is where your GPS will direct you, and enter through the main gates. When you get to the ticketing booth let the attendant know you are here for our wedding and they will help you from there.
Question
Are children attending the wedding?
Answer
Yes! We love your little ones and would love to have them there on our special day! That being said, there will not be a "kids only" table, so please anticipate dining with them, as well as accompanying them throughout the evening. We entirely understand needing to accommodate your child's needs, so if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out!
Question
What will we be eating?
Answer
In the spirit of keeping things fun and casual we have decided to have a taco bar! If you have any allergies or preferences please reach out ASAP so we can best accommodate you!
