Conversation topics could include: brunch, true crime podcasts, and Ohio State football
Ryan
Groomsman
Ryan & Ryan, often referred to as “The Ryan’s” were a dynamic force to be reckoned with when it came to their professional lives. With Gehrke’s knowledge and presence, and Kalsow’s luscious locks and charm, there wasn’t a deal that The Ryan’s couldn’t close. Gehrke is one of the best mentors and friends that Kalsow has. They call each other out on their bullshit and laugh way too hard after one too many Coor’s lights (twist tops only). One might hear them in their natural habitat, conversing so boisterously that they quickly turn any common space into their own private office. Conversation topics could include: family, fly fishing, and Coors Light (twisties).
Randi
Bridesmaid
Randi from Rockwell(wall) has been cracking us up since day one! Even though we met not too long ago, her chill personality and hilarious jokes make it feel like we go way back. She keeps things lighthearted and makes any get-together more fun. Whether she’s hanging out with her dog, Jess, or working hard on a new project, she tackles it all with a smile. She's loyal, supportive, and always down for a good time. We couldn't imagine our wedding party without our funny, fabulous friend by our side! Conversation topics could include: Ask me to show you puppy pics of Jess, documentaries, and big 12 football!
John
Groomsman
One day, Ryan was busy at work and his company was hiring a new employee. He briefly shook John’s hand and gave him the ‘nod’ that all males know means, nice to meet you. Unbothered by the newest employee, John decided to put his workspace right next to Ryan. Wondering who this peasant thought he was, Ryan decided to autism all over John. Within 37 seconds, they realized their affinity for big words, verbal fluidity, and laughing at Ryan’s pathetic attempts at Dad jokes would make them close friends who always push each other to improve in all areas of life. Conversation topics could include: Cars; ask me to guess what type of car you drive! Sports and bad dad jokes
Sharon
Mother of the Bride
Conversation topics could include: agility training with her dog Lily, anything and everything: dogs, art, and interior design.
Nancy
Mother of the Groom
Conversation topics could include: relaxing on patios, sky diving, potty training my grandchildren, and when Ryan drove her Acura TSX into a guardrail.
Aj
Officiant
Ryan & Rebecca met AJ through several wedding events and gatherings with mutual friends. At our friend’s birthday pool party, AJ was clearly the man-of-the-hour, sitting next to the pool, lathering himself in SPF 100 and adjusting his full-leg brace from a torn ACL. Naturally, Rebecca & Ryan thought it would be good to talk to this specimen of a man. Before long, hysterical laughs were had and they became best friends. AJ is married to Jayme, and they have a beautiful daughter, London, and the goodest-doggo-son, Henry. Ryan & Rebecca often crash their pool on weekends because AJ makes the best burgers (sorry, Mike). Conversation topics could include: jokes about Ryan (the groom), sports, health insurance, and mosquitos.
