Elizabeth Rumpz
Maid of Honor
I first met Lizzie in German 1101. She needed a partner with the textbook, and she had a pretty cool Blue Jackets scarf on, so I shared mine. One class together turned into two German courses, multiple psychology courses, an internship, and a job together, as well as a lifelong friendship that spans across continents.
Jonah Baldwin
Best Man
Big brother extraordinaire, I could not think of any person more deserving to be my best man on my big day. He led me to my love of craft beer, good taste in music, and my aspiration to become a man of letters. I look forward to all the fun and support I'll get from you as I go down this road to marriage.
Jenna Ott
Bridesmaid
Nothing forges a friendship quite like suffering through a master's program together. My sanity has been saved many times by our swimming workouts, dinner dates, and wedding shows and teaching kids to read wasn't too bad either. I'm so glad we've been able to plan our weddings, write our theses, and get fit together.
Adam Hehr
Groomsman
Having known Adam since kindergarten, he has been my inseparable partner in crime. I have cherished the decades of friendship we have shared together and I can't wait for our families to share grow alongside one another. Although our lives are becoming busier, he will always be one of my top choices for getting into shenanigans at Brewstirs or rocking out to some aging rockstars at Express Live.
Kristin Stemmler
Bridesmaid
Living in extremely small dorms either makes or breaks a friendship. Luckily, in this case, it made a great friendship. Whether it was cheering on the Buckeye hockey team, surviving 6:30 am anatomy lectures, or taking care of me when I got a concussion, she was always there for me.
Ben Jones
Groomsman
A childhood friend going back all the way to kindergarten at Catawba Elementary, he has always been a person willing to my most ridiculous IMs on GChat at all hours of the day, especially during my time in Germany.
Sara Wilkins
Bridesmaid
Another awesome friendship forged by Taylor Tower's twelfth floor. I wouldn't trade our late nights studying calculus and ordering the Pad for anything. One of my fondest memories from undergrad is still storming the oval in subzero temperatures after OSU won the national championship with her.
Bryan Knowlton
Groomsman
I first met Bryan on a canoe trip during my first week as a graduate student at Ohio State. He promptly left the country a few days later and I didn't see him again for a year, but he has been an irreplaceable companion since his return. Here is to many more hours at Growl and watching old Vines on Youtube.
