Wedding Party
Dennis Messer
Father of the Bride
The best dad a girl could ever ask for. My father is one of the most kind hearted people I know. He can look intimidating but don't let that fool you, he is a big 'ol teddy bear. I know that my dad would do anything for me and for that I am so insanely grateful for. He loves his family more than anything and has welcomed Jake with open arms. I am so proud to call you my father and for you to be the one walking me down the aisle on this special day.
Jennifer Messer
Mother of the Bride
The most beautiful woman I know and love. My mother is so loving and caring, without her I think our family would fall apart. You are the rock, the glue that holds us together and for that dad and I are so insanely grateful. I don't know what I would do without you and if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be the young woman I am today. Don't forget the tissues on the big day, I know you'll need them!
Kristyn McDonald
Maid of Honor
Kristyn has been my best friend since we were in the 5th grade, she has been such a crucial part of my life and I cannot thank her enough for all she has done for me. She is such a sweet and kind soul and the best friend I could ever ask for. It was a no brainer knowing you were going to be my maid of honor, there is no one else on this planet I would rather have by my side on this day.
Jessica Jones
Bridesmaid
The closest thing I have to a sister is my beautiful cousin Jessica. Though we didn't always get along, now that we are older I love this girl so much I can't even put it into words. She never fails to put a smile on my face and though we don't see each other too often, I know she will always be there for me no mater what.
Madison Roberts
Bridesmaid
Madison and I have been friends for nearly 20 years, she is a wild one but that's why I love her. Growing up together we fought more times than I can count but we always found our way back to each other. I can always count on her to make me smile, and to cheer me up whenever I am feeling down. She is an enthusiastic and loving person, and will definitely be the life of the party!
Emily Huntington
Bridesmaid
I have known Emily since kindergarten but we didn't end up getting close until we were 20 years old. She is such a genuine and down to earth person I don't know how anyone would not love her just as much as I do. She came into my life when I didn't know I needed her and now I can't imagine life without her.
Ally Watts
Bridesmaid
Ally and I met in cosmetology school, and funny enough now we both work at the same salon. She is as loyal as they come, this girl would do anything for the people she loves and it shows. I love seeing her big smile everyday when I get into work, sending cat pictures back and forth on snapchat, and talking about the most random things ever. So glad we became friends during our time at Paul Mitchell, there's no one else I would rather be doing hair with!
John & Renee Williamson
Parents of the Groom
The best place for me to start when it comes to my parents is, thank you. Without them, I would not be who I am today. They have always been my biggest supporters , from playing sports to doing well in school. They always have my back and encourage me to be the best version of myself. I have learned so much from them throughout my life, like how to work hard and put my best foot forward. But the best thing I have learned is how to love. Watching them over the years welcome Leah into our family and show her love just as they show me means so much to me.
Thomas Kripowicz
Best Man
Thomas and I met my freshman year at GMU during Spring rush, where we were looking at joining the same Fraternity. We are Pledged together so we have a bond like no other. We are known to act like complete fools with each other, but that’s what friends are for. Not a time goes by when we don’t laugh together and make countless memories. He is one of my best friends that I met during my time at George Mason so obviously I had to ask him to be my best man.
Sam Heath
Groomsman
Sam, the happiest dude you'll ever meet. We met freshman year at GMU during a fraternity rush event, and since then, he's been my go-to guy for anything and everything. Sam's always got a smile on his face. He's not just about spreading joy; he's reliable as hell. Whenever I need backup, he's there without question.
Kai Perez
Groomsman
Meet Kai, my little brother in Alpha Sig. We clicked from day one, bonding over our love for sports management. We've shared classes, laughs, and early morning golf sessions - even though I suck and am not a fan. He's more than a friend; he's family.
Ivan Monserrate
Groomsman
Ivan is one of my closest friends from freshman year at Alpha sig. He's been by my side for three years, playing a crucial role in shaping our chapter into what it is now. He is the go-to guy when you need to let off steam and have a good venting session.
Steve Watts
Groomsman
Steve, my friend since freshman year and fellow pledge brother. He’s the ultimate jokester. Seriously, he never fails to crack everyone up. Whether we're hanging out at a fraternity event or just chilling in the house, he's always got a joke up his sleeve, ready to turn any situation into a comedy show. But it's not just about the laughs with Steve; he's also got a heart of gold. He's the kind of guy who's always there for you, whether you need a shoulder to lean on or someone to share a laugh with.
