Wedding Party
Sydney Blankenship
Matron of Honor
Sydney and I have been best friends since I killed our science fair project in 6th grade! Luckily she wasn't too mad and has put up with me for a few years now. :) Sydney has been there for so many of my life events and I couldn't imagine not having her with me on my wedding day!
Jimmy Dan Persin
Best Man
My best friend for about 30 years. He and I are the 2019 world champions of 2v2 Tecmo Super Bowl. Most great things I've done and most idiotic things I've done have involved this man. He's a teacher, husband, and great father to our 2 ring bearers. He loves Cleveland sports and playing music. I'm honored that he is my best man.
Cat Brisker
Bridesmaid
Cat and I become friends when we worked together in college at Bartley's Pharmacy. A couple years later, we worked together again at the credit union, and that cemented our friendship! Cat has always been a voice of reason and has played a HUGE role in mine and Jordan's relationship. From introducing us, to getting him to come on the Vegas trip, to giving me the confidence to send that first text, and every other piece of advice since then, this girl has been there for it all! I'm so lucky to have her as a best friend and now a bridesmaid on the big day!
Jared Willis
Groomsman
The middle brother of 3. He and I have fought probably 1000 times. He's the person I competed with my entire life. He's a great athlete and even better bigger brother. He loves Ohio State football and golfing and is the bassist when we jam. If anyone can get him on the dancefloor during the wedding, I'll give you $20.
Janessa Taylor
Bridesmaid
Janessa and I became best friends when I moved to Waverly at 5 years old and we've been friends ever since! There were more times than either of us can count where we were mistaken for one another. We were always together and people couldn't tell us apart! Janessa has been with me for some of the craziest adventures of my life, and I am so thankful she'll be with me for this adventure!
Jeremy Willis
Groomsman
The oldest of 3 brothers. His name is Jeremy but everyone calls him "Jerome." He was supposed to be our babysitter growing up and was more of a fight promoter. He's the man behind everything that Cardo's Pizza has become. He loves the Cincinnati Reds and horseracing. I'm glad he's my groomsman and Kentucky Derby DD.
Morgan Currier
Bridesmaid
Morgan and I also worked together Bartley's, but became best friends through Cat. Morgan is always there to provide some advice, laughs, or a fun time! I wouldn't know what to do without her and I love that she will be my side for the big day!
Kyle Boggs
Groomsman
A man you can't help but love. He's hard to get out of the house, but always a blast when he does. He's a husband and father to 2 great boys. We were a dynamic duo in Call of Duty and always enjoyed competing in everything from video games to croquet. He's the biggest Cleveland Browns fan I know and we have to talk him into doing his rendition of James Brown's "Living in America" at the wedding.
Nicole Persin
Bridesmaid
Nicole is married to Jordan's best friend and best man, Jimmy, so we became friends through them. Nicole and I hit it off and some time later, we started working together at the credit union. Nicole quickly became one of my best friends, and I'm pretty sure most days we share the same brain! She's been another person integral to mine and Jordan's relationship and I'm so thankful she'll be standing by my side when we say "I do!".
Dustin Herbert
Groomsman
One of my oldest and funniest friends. A father to a sweet boy and girl. I spent so many nights growing up staying at his house and having a blast. From trying to go cow tipping to ramping bikes into ponds, we were always getting into ridiculous situations. He's a gifted musician and the lead guitarists in our jams. He loves Ohio State football, music and comedy. I'm glad he's a friend and groomsman.
Chelsey Lucas
Bridesmaid
Chelsey is my sister-in-law and I'm so lucky that she's part of my family and part of our big day! Our whole family is thankful that she's stuck by my brother, and I'm extra thankful since it means I've gained another sister. She's the best momma to my nieces and a great friend! I'm thankful to have her stand by me on my wedding day.
Derrick Brisker
Groomsman
The youngest brother of 3 and a 5 minute bike ride from my house growing up. I spent just as much time at his house as my own growing up. His brothers and mine had some of the best backyard baseball and football games ever played. He's a father to a precious girl and boy. If you get hit in the head by something at the wedding, look for this guy. He's a prankster, loves sports, and if you're looking for some betting action at the wedding, find him. I love this guy and hope his "Party Boy" persona comes out at the wedding.
Ava Thomas
Flower Girl
Meghan's oldest niece and a huge fan of Jordan changing his last name to "Thomas" so we all can match.
Jude Persin
Ring Bearer
Jude is the oldest son of Jimmy and Nicole and the smartest, most creative 9 year old we know!
Ameila Thomas
Flower Girl
Meghan's youngest niece and most spit-fire 3 year old we know!
Miles Persin
Ring Bearer
Miles is the youngest son of Jimmy and Nicole and one look at his sweet smile and curls will melt your heart! He's a complete sweetheart!
Alex Hart
Officiant
Alex has been one of my best pals since he moved to Waverly our sophomore year of high school. We’ve been on many adventures together and I wouldn’t want anyone else leading the first step in my marriage adventure with Jordan!
