Our Wedding Party
Janessa
Maid of Honor
My main lady! Janessa has been a part of my life for soooo many years. From riding the bus together in our SJA days , to all the sports we played, all the fun places we went to and all the fun things we did, our friendship was never questioned. I never hesitate to call her because I know she will always pick up and be there for me when I need her. Our friendship is so so pure and so easy. Some days we just simply sit in the same room while doing separate things and just know the comfort of each others company is just what we needed. This past year we got to celebrate her marriage and it was such a perfect example for what Blake and I want in our marriage. Janessa is my ride or die gal and Blake and I are so honored to share our day with her right up there next to us <3
Ricky
Best Man
My main dude! My cousin Ricky has been a key part of my life forever! Growing up I remember it was always me and you, we have been inseparable since birth! I consider this guy right here my brother from another, and that's for life! I just remember running around town and playing football and video games together! Even when you lived in Pennsylvania growing up I always knew that you are there for me! In a lot of ways I consider us the same person lol! Then when you came back after high school it was like you never left and we were attached at the hip, whatever we did from going to the movies to being shoe fanatics to watching all of the UFC fights and Ohio State football games and playing disc golf it was always awesome having you there buddy! you are and always will be my Brother!
Peyton
Bridesmaid
My youngest sista <3 We have grown to become the best of friends and truly support each other through whatever life throws at us. I know I could call Peyton for a serious convo or one that we could just laugh for hours about. Peyton is so kind and generous and has been the biggest helper and supporter through our wedding planning and anything that goes on in life. Peyton has a heart of gold and takes care of each and every one of us in the way we need it. She has given both Blake and I the greatest gift of being an aunt and uncle to our 2 little nephews and for that we will forever be so thankful for her! Peyton is so special and the perfect example of what a bridesmaid, sister and friend should be!

my A-1 since day 1! Another cousin of mine, who has been a huge part of my entire life! You and Ricky and I were like the three musketeers! This guy right here has had many memorable moments with me! I remember going out to your house in Ashley and playing video games and watching funny videos and just messing around cause it was in the middle of nowhere, to our days of going to the skating rink and having a blast and playing disc golf and just talking about life's problems! I know if I ever need someone to look to for advice, I always know you are a person I can count on! I am super proud of you and have always looked up to you as an example and inspiration! I am happy that I got to be apart of your special day and cant wait for you to be apart of mine! You are my Brother for life and I am lucky to have you as a best friend!
Emilee
Bridesmaid
My middle sista <3 Emilee is the wild child, the life of the party! She and I could laugh for days about the silliest stuff and just have fun. We always have the best time making memories on vacations or trips. She was was there during the proposal and helped make that moment so special for us. The love that Emilee has for her family and friends is undeniable. She and I shared one year of high school together and it was the greatest! She was there when I needed her and she even played a year of softball(which was not her sport) just to play with me and I will never forget that! When you see her at the wedding she is gonna be letting loose and having fun and I wouldn't want it any other way! Partyyy on sis!
Cody
Groomsman
my work wife haha! This guy right here has only been apart of my life for about 3 years now, but we have a special bond that makes it feel like I've known him since birth! From talking on the phone at work complaining about everything, to Trivia night with our ladies, to playing volleyball every week, this dude has become a main part of my life and I know we will be friends forever! We may have a very different views of the world sometimes, but I like it cause we bounce our opinions and ideas off each other and are able to understand each other. There has never been any judgement ever from this guy! and oh yeah, we also love video games and movies and singing songs to each other and sometimes even make up our own lyrics lol! You are my brother for life and I'm happy that something good came from work and I met one of my best friends for life!
Anna
Bridesmaid
My cousin but really my 3rd sister <3 Anna and I have been joined at the hip since we were babes. We have such a close relationship that I consider her one of my sisters and best friends. We had the best sleep overs and so much fun growing up and it still continues on to this day! Anna is always there for you no matter what and just simply is a breath of fresh air when you need it the most. Anna is so kind that she let me live with her for a few months during a really tough time and I will forever be thankful to her for that time! If I could have her as a roommate forever, I would do it in a heartbeat! not sure if Blake would love having another roommate but I know we would have the best time and he would eventually love it just as much as I would! She is the best and I am lucky to have her standing up there with me on this big day!
Joe
Groomsman
My Actual Brother! You were one of the best tings that has ever happened to me! I always wanted to have a little brother and then you came along and it made me happier than ever! From playing and beating you in video games, to coaching you in baseball to razzin you about everything I can, I always know I can count on you or talk to you or have you help us watch the dog or teach me how to golf! But just know I would do anything for you, and I love you dude! You and Nikki always give me the hardest time and gang up on me haha, but also I always knew it was a good sign that you and Nikki acted like brother and sister from the jump! Just remember whenever you wanna take a beating in any video game, just let me know and I can help ya with that lol! You are my brother for life and i couldn't be more happy about that!
Jade
Bridesmaid
My jade <3 Jade and I became friends our first year at OSU and from then its been so much fun! Jade truly is the life of the party. She makes sure that we are going to have a good time and puts so much time and effort into anything we are doing. Jade is always there for her friends and will listen to whatever you have to say. She isn't judgmental and always gives the best advice! She is someone who you can sit and just watch tv with or someone you can have a deep convo with and in the end you always feel so blessed to have spent that time with her because it is always special. If you are looking for jade on wedding day, you will find her dancing and having the time of her life! We love jade and can't wait to party with her!
Christopher
Groomsman
Cousin, Roommate, and best friend! This dude has been around my whole life! From watching movies and shows together, to playing games, board games and sports together! You have always been there for me and I can just remember having the most interesting conversations and staying up all night talking about them. Then your parents waking up for work and us acting like we are asleep lol! I remember also playing pickup basketball and beating everyone!! We may not have been the best but we tried hard and that's what matters, right? People were surprised by us when we would beat them haha! You are truly someone I can always count on for anything in life and I certainly know if I ever have a computer problem, you are the dude I get ahold of! You are my brother for life and you are very important to me!
Sara
Bridesmaid
Our Sara <3 Sara and I became besties when we lived together on Maynard and our rooms were basically connected! Our laughs and memories there will never be forgotten. She genuinely made me feel worthy and loved and that is hard to find in people as you get older. She is the sweetest person you will ever meet and is always down to have a good time. Sara, Blake and I play volleyball together on Thursdays and it has been my favorite day of the week since we started playing. Our weekly catch ups and laughs are seriously what gets me through until the next time we play together! Our sassy shirely memories are ones for the books! Life without Sara, just isn't a life we could live!
Matt
Groomsman
Matty G, my dude! Another Cousin of mine. I can remember all the good times we have shared, from just talking about life's problems, to playing super smash bros, to camping out on Huntington park( you taking all the blankets to your tent and me freezing my butt off), to us going white water rafting for the first time together in Tennessee, and to coaching you in baseball! We have shared many experiences together and I could not ask for anyone better to share this day with! I have always looked at you like a little brother, someone that I will always be there for and someone who is always there for me. Just know you can always count on me to be there no matter what! You are my brother forever!
