Wedding Party
Reid Juelsgaard
Man of Honor
Meet the bride’s younger brother. Growing up they fought like it was professional sport. From childhood rivalries to lifelong friendship, he’s now one of her closest confidants. A constant in her life, he’s proud to stand by her side on such an important day — not just as her brother, but as her Man of Honor
Samantha Johnson
Bridesmaid
Over the past past 15 years, this relationship transcended awkward third wheel to best of friends — the kind of friendship that’s so close, people have (more than once) mistaken them for a couple. Samantha’s been endlessly supportive, and welcomed Rachel into her family as an honorary member
Ben Ancel
Best Man
Ben has been in the groom’s life since childhood, and from the beginning, their friendship has been built on late-night hangouts, fierce board game battles, and an unspoken agreement to trash-talk each other at every opportunity. Growing up, the groom practically lived at Ben's house—his second family, whether they liked it or not. Behind all the competition and teasing is a bond that’s stood the test of time
Matthew Spoden
Best Man
Matt and Jon have been friends since they first met in confirmation class, instantly bonding over their shared sense of humor and love for video games. While life has put some geographic distance between them, their friendship remains smooth and effortless—easily picking up right where they left off, usually over a game of cribbage
Corey Johnson
Officiant
Corey and Rachel met during vet school orientation; they spent the next 4 years trauma bonding over studies, but survived vet school together with a steady mix of caffeine, sarcasm, and shared brain cells. Over time, they adopted each other’s families, and for the last nine years, they’ve worked side by side in the same vet clinic. Very few people know the ins and outs of our relationship like Corey does, which made him the obvious choice to officiate our wedding
