William & Paige
Wedding Party
Amy Augustine
Matron of Honor
Amy is my amazing sister that has been by my side from the start and I couldn’t be more excited to have her as my matron of honor! When Amy and I are together, it’s quite comical how many people ask us if we are twins. They are very shocked when they find out she is actually 6 years older! Throughout the years Amy has taught me so much and I can’t thank her enough for that. The experiences we’ve had together are to last a lifetime; Like the time we went dune jumping at Sleeping Bear Dunes or the all the times we went to Cedar Point together. Amy graduated from The Ohio State University & is a pediatric dentist at Dental Excellence. She is married to Ken Hecht & they have an adventurous 4 year old daughter named Audrey, & a precious newborn baby girl named Violet.
Bradley Periat
Best Man
Brad and I have been friends for around 15 years (man does time fly). We have been by each other’s side through a lot of ups and downs in life. Through all those ups and downs we have become extremely close friends. I would consider Brad to be more of a brother than a friend at this point in my life. Brad and I are known for our adventures. We always find ourselves on some wild ride through life whether it’s on a boat or snowmobile, we always find a way to get into some trouble! If Brad is ever on a snowmobile and asks you follow him across open water.... don’t. I couldn’t think of a better person to stand by my side on July 10th.
Annie Larrick
Bridesmaid
I met Annie in 2010 freshman year at Mount Carmel College Of Nursing. Ever since then we have been best friends and inseparable. Since I have moved back home, Annie and I don’t get to see each other as often as we would like, but when we get together we pick right up where we left off. We are those friends that can look at each other and know what other is thinking. Annie currently lives in Columbus and works at Riverside Methodist Hospital as a surgical tech. Nursing school consumes most of her time when she is not at work.
Aaron Ausmus
Groomsman
Where do you start with Aaron! He’s always been that one friend who can make you laugh during your worst times in life. He’s quick with a joke (insert the rest of the Billy Joel lyrics here). Aaron loves music and is an impressive DJ; He is always in charge of the sound at all of our parties. Aaron and I have made many life memories together. We’ve been on multiple fishing and hunting trips. He’s been by my side through all my ups and downs and he has proven himself to be a loyal and great friend.
Kelsey Grieser
Bridesmaid
Kelsey and I have been friends for 28 years, but we are more than friends; We are cousins. Ohhh the memories and experiences we have had together. Some to last a lifetime!! Some to laugh at and some to shake our heads to. I have some amazing stories of when we lived together in Columbus. Those are some great times I will always cherish. Kelsey has always been a friend that is always there for me when I need her. She is currently working in Fort Wayne, Indiana as a licensed cosmetologist and rocking it!
Jonathan Augustine
Groomsman
I haven’t known Jon for very long, but in the short three years Paige and I have been together he’s always treated me with respect and like a brother. I couldn’t be more honored to be joining his family and calling him my brother. I always look forward to family gatherings where we sit down and Jon and Ken beat me in whatever game we are playing! It’s not just Jon either, he comes with a wonderful family (Kendra, Brody and Maia) who have also become family over the last 3 years.
Kristina Steeg
Bridesmaid
Kristina and I met in 2010 in Columbus. Our story is a little different haha... but it all worked out in the end! Kristina is my friend that just understands me. She always has my back. Together we have spent many hours having margarita days and solving world problems. Kristina is married to Matt and they welcomed their precious baby girl to the world in July of 2019 at a whopping 26 weeks gestation!!! Kristina is a veterinarian in Cleveland!
Brandon Newton
Groomsman
Brandon and I haven’t been friends nearly as long as the other groomsmen but he quickly became a close friend. It was fun to hear that he was dating and is now married to my former neighbor. Paige and I have spent time kayaking with Brandon and Erica and enjoy spending time with them. Brandon and I spend a considerable amount of time on the golf course in the summer (most of that time is spent trying to find my ball). Brandon told me to pick groomsmen that you can see yourself and future wife being friends with still in 30 years. I followed his advice.
Katherine McGraw
Bridesmaid
Katherine is Bill’s sister and we share many of the same interests. We love having game night when we get together. She is married and is a very busy mother of three boys: Joshua, Samuel and Andrew. She is so creative and is always coming up with cool activities for the boys! I am excited to have Katherine as a sister!
Michael Adams
Groomsman
Mike and I went to college together. We became friends quickly attending respiratory conferences and lunches out with our friends between classes. After graduating together we are now lucky enough to also work together! He’s always been a trusting and loyal friend. He and Jose actually went out with Paige and I on our first date! I don’t see as much of Mike now that he works dayshift but we always try and make time to get together for dinner. It’s an honor to have you in my wedding.
Brody Augustine
Ring Bearer
Brody is Paige's nephew and is the son of Jonathan and Kendra Augustine. He is a smart, loving, kind 9 year old that is currently in 3rd grade at Anthony Wayne. Brody loves Legos, reading, playing games and is learning to golf!! He is quite the jokester just like his father and he wants to grow up to be a dentist just like him! He has a younger sister (Maia- flower girl). Brody and I have some amazing memories together and I can't wait for our next adventure together!
Maia Augustine
Flower Girl
Maia is Paige's oldest niece. She is 6 years old and is in Kindergarten at Anthony Wayne. She is the daughter of Jonathan and Kendra Augustine. She is taking Hip Hop classes and hopes to be a ballerina teacher and an artist when she grows up. She loves to help her mom in the kitchen. Maia has such a sweet heart, is very caring and is a ball of energy!! She has an older brother (Brody- one of the ring bearers). I love when Maia comes over and we play "kitchen" together.
Audrey Hecht
Flower Girl
Audrey is 4 years old and just became a big sister! She is the daughter of Amy Augustine and Ken Hecht. She loves to play dentist, kitchen and dolls! Audrey has a very big heart and is a social butterfly. It's not uncommon for Audrey to get a group of people laughing and her little giggle is the cutest. She looks up to her cousins, Brody and Maia. I hold our experiences together close to my heart.
Violet Hecht
Flower Girl
Amy Augustine and Ken Hecht welcomed Violet into the world on 2/21/21!! She is the sweetest little girl. Violet loves to snuggle, eat and sleep! She is so lucky to have Audrey as her big sister! I cannot wait to watch her go through her milestones and create amazing memories with her!
Joshua McGraw
Ring Bearer
Josh is my oldest nephew and he’s 9 years old! I don’t get to see him nearly as much as I’d like, but when I do he amazes me as to the smart young man he’s becoming. It’s been fun watching him grow up.
Samuel McGraw
Ring Bearer
Sam is my middle nephew who’s 7. He is always smiling. He, like Josh, seems to get smarter and smarter every time I see him. He loves to play games and is always beating me in Trouble. He loves Legos which works well for me because so do I. It’s been so much fun watching him grow into a young man.
Andrew McGraw
Ring Bearer
Drew is my youngest nephew who is 4 years old. He is probably the happiest kid I’ve ever met. He is always just going with flow of things and constantly has a smile on his face. When he is at grandma and grandpa's house he loves to play games and to play with my old trucks! He is turning into such a smart and caring little man.
