Wedding Party
Madison Gutkowski
Maid of Honor
There isn't a better person who would fit into this role. As cousins, we have simply always been inseparable. From creating dance routines in the basement, sleepovers at grandma's and grandpa's, Jamaica to Charleston, and late nights at ONU and Dayton, we have been through it all. Everyone needs a Madison in their life, and if you don't, then go and find one!
Dave Kukucka
Best Man
Dave is the type of friend where it only takes a look and he makes me laugh. Our friendship is 2 sided, it’s either all business and finding ways to get rich together, dreaming about selling our company that doesn’t exist yet, or laughing at the dumbest, most non-sense things that no one else understands. Despite living a couple of hours apart, we are still very close, from Dave’s guest room, which he has deemed Rachel and I’s room (his words, not mine), to 10-minute Snapchat recordings of him talking about dad life. Dave will always be a pillar of joy, laughter, and fun in my life.
Alec Heflin "Hef"
Best Man
Anyone who has ever met Hef, has met the real Hef. He is the most genuine and authentic person I have ever met. He was the first person I met coming into college, and the fun hasn’t stopped since. We’ve been roommates since sophomore year, although I spent way more time in his dorm freshman year than mine. When we’re out together, I always know we’re going to have a good time. Hef's direct, but his kind personality and desire to have fun is what makes us best friends.
Maddy Braun
Bridesmaid
From a Facebook group looking for roommates at OU, leading to years of running through the streets of Athens. Maddy is the friend I never knew I needed. Meeting as strangers as we moved into our dorm for freshman year was one of the best days of my life. Maddy makes the boring times fun, the awkward moments funny, and life just simply better.
Jeremy Jonozzo
Groomsman
It’s not always easy being integrated into another family, but luckily for me, J has been more accepting and friendly than any future brother-in-law could ask for. From watching his football games to him allowing me to crash his college parties even though I was “like 40,” we’ve made a lot of memories, and I am truly grateful for our friendship. Our shared passions of football, golf, and giving Rachel a hard time make it easy to feel like we’ve been brothers for years. I couldn’t be more excited to have him by my side on the big day.
Devon Gency
Bridesmaid
Devon is one of a kind - the most caring, genuine, giving person that I'm so glad to have in my life. To be able to be close friends with my future sister-in-law is not something everyone gets to experience, but I am so lucky. I've watched her turn into the best mom and still manage to make every event fun. We may get told we're the same person, or made fun of for never being able to stop talking, but that just makes our relationship even more special.
Rilynn & Emerie Gency
Flower Girls
Rilynn & Emerie are the best little friends we could ever ask for. Rilynn is the definition of a Sour Patch Kid; she may scream in your face, but then follows it up with her belly laugh and the sweetest smile that makes you forget about everything else. Emerie is just a year old, but that smile can light up any room. Spending as much time as we can watching them grow up has been one of our most amazing memories. Hearing Aunt “WayWay” and Uncle “Ni-No” with the big smiles is a feeling that will never be topped!! P.S.: Don’t let their cute, innocent smiles fool you; they rule the roost.
