Courtney & Jacob
The VIP's
Greg & Heather Parson
Bride's Parents
We are the proud parents of the Bride, Courtney, and both are excitedly awaiting the addition of Jake to our family. We met each other in 1995 when we were both just 19 years old. Since then, we have been together almost 27 years, and will be celebrating 25 years of marriage in July. Over the past 8 years, we have watched Jake & Courtney grow in their relationship and could not be more proud of the love they have shown one another. We not only feel as though we are gaining a son-in-law, but an entire family! Conversations to Talk About at the Wedding: Monopoly, the "PPP", & Facebook Marketplace
Kathy & Dave Kirven
Groom's Parents
We are the very proud parents of the Groom, Jake. We met at a bar (the very thing your mama always warned you about) and have been married for 28 years as of February 25, 2022. We are so honored that the minister who married us has agreed to officiate Court and Jake’s wedding as well. Most of all, we are excited to finally officially welcome “Supreme Court” and her family in joining ours.

Susan met Courtney at the start of their journey as Delta Zetas freshman year and the rest was history.

Since graduating BGSU she is working part-time teaching preschool and pursuing a Masters degree in Counseling. She looks forward to celebrating and watching Courtney and Jake continue to take on life together.

Dylan Hunter
Best Man
My name is Dylan Hunter and I’m from North Canton. I really enjoy watching sports, all of the Cleveland teams are my favorite, as well as playing video games and camping. My favorite memory of being friends with Jake for so long was from 2016 when the Cavs won the championship and we went to the parade in Cleveland. It was very fun to experience that but also turned into one of the longest and worst days because we got lost and then both of our phones died, and we walked through Cleveland trying to find my car for miles and miles. We eventually got to the car and we were supposed to go to the Indians game that night but we both just decided we had enough and just left.

Molly Ernst

Hi everyone, I am Molly and I have been friends with the Bride and Groom since junior year of college when we both were rho gammas. I am from Springfield, Ohio. One of my favorite memories with Courtney was when she called me to inform me we would be going to a Taylor Swift concert because she won tickets from a radio contest and only knew the answer because of me! I absolutely love the way Court and Jake balance each other as a couple, it always makes hanging out with them a time to remember! I'm really excited to get to share this moment with them and I can’t wait to see them grow as a couple!

Bridesmaid
My name is Sarah and I am from Akron, Ohio. I’ve known Courtney since I transferred to BGSU. She was the president of Delta Zeta at the time and she was the first delta zeta I met at BG. We sat at the Union Starbucks and I was super nervous and incredibly awkward. I wish I could go back and tell the nervous girl sitting there that she would be a part of Courtney’s wedding. Since that day we have shared many great memories, laughs, and stories. I am so excited to be a part of her and Jake’s special day!

I want to first say how excited I am to see two of my very best friends getting married. I have known both Courtney and Jake since my sophomore year of college, but it feels as though we have all been friends for a very long time.
