Wedding Party
Rebecca Jackson
Bride
Elizabeth Frantti
Maid of Honor
Elizabeth and I met September 2018 in Mijas, Spain and spent the next five years traveling and as roommates. From Spain to Finland to Chicago to Michigan to West Virginia to Denver to Utah to Italy to many places in between. What a season! An invaluable experience of deep friendship and sisterhood, with travels and home all along the way. We truly became sisters. She started as my mentor, then quickly became my best friend, then I can’t pin exactly when but she became my sister in a way I had always wanted but never known. She taught me to cook, walked me through a health journey as well as many emotional and spiritual journeys. She has seen and loved many versions of me over the years. She always has something loving to hand me and came along for all the highs and lows of the BIGGEST period of growth that she empowered me for.
Marina Mirolli
Matron of Honor
Marina, Vincent’s sister-in-law/soon to be my sister, FINALLY came into my life in March. I had a gut feeling we’d be quick, deep, dear friends and I simply couldn’t wait to meet her so we could finally embrace that friendship! Now we get to embrace sisterhood as marrying Vincent also means becoming Marina’s sister. I trusted her before I even knew her and that trust has only deepened. Marina and I were cut from the same cloth in so many ways — one of which being our deep love for travel! Another is that we’re suckers for Mirolli men.
Alisha Webb
Bridesmaid
Alisha and I met through the World Race (an eleven month mission trip to eleven countries)! I remember scrolling through the names and faces of my World Race squad and Alisha’s face jumping out at me and knowing she would be special to me. We met face-to-face for the first time at training camp in October 2016 and then spent 2017 traveling the world together. We were on a team together for eight months of the Race! The following year, we went on to do a Christian Leadership Academy in Spain called G42 together. Alisha personalized many workouts for me on my health journey and she has championed me over the years.
Haley Olson
Bridesmaid
Haley and I dove straight into friendship and adventure and depth when we met at the Christian Leadership Academy, G42 in Spain in March 2019. I developed a new laughter I had never heard from myself when I met Haley! Together we sing, we’re loud, we’re excited, we’re energetic, we cry, we laugh, and we take in all life has to offer. Somehow Haley has sat in my deepest places of pain and still made me laugh in those seasons. We’ve had so many wonderful conversations over the years, from our literal first hangout on. Singing with her at show she was doing in Spain was a dream come true. One incredible adventure we had was renting a car and day tripping to Seville, Spain. I’m so grateful we both ended up living in Denver!
Sarah Way
Bridesmaid
Sarah and I met circa 2008. I was a freshman and she was a sophomore in high school and we were connected at the hip for almost the next decade through high school and college. Me heading on the World Race in 2017 was the only thing that kept us from staying connected at the hip — I even lived with her for a couple months or so before the Race! Sarah has known so. many. versions. of me, and she has loved them all. We have seen each other through many seasons of life. We once witnessed a meteor shower where I jumped because the stars felt so close it seemed like one could hit me! Sarah has celebrated the good times with me and championed me through the tough times and she is so consistent that sometimes it slips my mind how much of her is woven into the fabric of my life. How many laughs, how many tears, how many prayers, how many memories? There’s no way to count! She’s always been there and always will be!
Rebekah Rosenberg
Bridesmaid
Rebekah and I met in August 2012 at the start of our college careers when for whatever reason someone chose to assign two Rebecca/Rebekah’s to be roommates. I can name a handful of times when God has told me with certainty who someone will be in my life. And when I got the name of my future roommate and looked her up on Facebook I knew deep within my heart we would be best friends. My closest high school friends tried to protect me by saying, “you don’t know for sure. Maybe you’ll be best friends but don’t assume.” We met, had a photo shoot doing random things around our dorm our very first night at college/of knowing each other, and the rest is truly history. As an introvert, she taught me how to enjoy hanging out with myself, and accepted and humored my extroverted ways! We have had many adventures over the years and many different seasons and we have loved and enjoyed each other through all those times! I remember when we graduated college Rebekah’s youth pastor said something along the lines of, “your friendship is the real deal. You’ll be in each other’s weddings” and he was so right.
Katie Ramsey
Bridesmaid
Katie and I did the World Race together! So we met at training camp in October 2016 and began our travels January 2017. She was on my first team and I don’t think I’ve ever spent more nonstop time with any other human being which will be the case until I marry Vincent. Getting used to having her around 24/7 (because of the context of the World Race) was a really special experience, and gosh did we dive in quickly as I shared things with Katie I had never said out loud to another human. My heart opened and healed so much with her as we explored the depth of the MANY FEELINGS we have while talking nonstop for five months straight. There were hilarious times and there were deep times and it bonded us for a lifetime. We were going to write a book about it and never did but it’s etched into our hearts, that’s for sure!
Baileigh Millender
Bridesmaid
Baileigh and I met on the World Race (training camp October 2016, World Race 2017) which led to an incredible friendship to the point where we were named as an iconic friendship duo in a Heads Up game created by our squad. You build quite the foundation when your friendship begins with 100 bug bites and conversations in the dark as you bucket shower in Mozambique. We laughed, we cried, we had some ridiculous adventures. One time we had to walk 30 minutes home from Chili’s in the middle of the night in Malaysia. Our music video to Africa by TOTO is still on YouTube. For as silly as we can be, there’s just as much depth and I find our conversations never lack. She was a part of the most special birthday surprise I ever received, facilitated by Elizabeth, which required Baileigh to take a flight and drive nine hours with our friend Rebecca Frantz to surprise me in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!
Olivia Weaver
Bridesmaid
Also pictured: Jonathan Jackson, the brother of the bride, Liv’s soon-to-be husband whom she is marrying on May 2. I couldn’t be more delighted that Liv is marrying my brother or that she will soon be my sister! I met Liv in 1999 when she was a teeny tiny baby and we were always destined to be sisters. We have spent many holidays together over the past five and a half years and I can’t wait for many more in the future. I’ve especially enjoyed exploring Holly River and Canaan together. She was braiding my hair in Canaan one year and in that moment I realized we already had the sister dynamic, though she had always been dear to me!
Emily Cadigan
Bridesmaid
Em and I met in 2021 in Denver as Em moved into a house where Elizabeth and I were living that she found via a connecting Christian roommates Facebook page! I remember thinking, if I moved to Denver just to meet Em, that makes it worth it! I didn’t realize I was also going to meet my husband in Denver! Em knows my name only as “Rebecca” which my name to Vincent and that is really special to me. It’s really special to me that she’s been here for my most recent season of life and has been such a steady, peaceful, and fun friend. She didn’t tire of listening to me during the hardest season of my life right before I met Vincent, and she didn’t tire of listening to me talk about him after I met him. We got to be roommates for a short time in the house where we first met and then we lived in the same apartment complex! I’ll always treasure the season of life when Em, Elizabeth, and I got to meet up at our apartment’s hot tub! Em is great at celebrating and enjoying — the little and big things in life!
Vincent Mirolli
Groom
Dan Mirolli
Best Man
Dan Mirolli. My eldest brother Dan has been there from the beginning. :p He's a man of great conviction and fortitude who delights in seeking Truth. Dan's a deep intellectual thinker balanced by the occasional tinfoil hat meme. ;D I've had more late night - very early morning conversations with Dan than anyone. (besides Rebecca) I always come away from those conversations filled with passion, conviction, and truckloads of encouragement. Dan is also skilled at remembering entire monologues from our favorite 90's tv & movie characters. :D I can't express how thrilled I am to have him as my best man.
Drew Mirolli
Groomsman
My Man! Drew Mirolli. The middle brother in our family and five years my senior, Drew easily has the wisdom of many decades of life. He is a loving husband (his wife Marina is our Matron of Honor) and a devout man of God. I've gleaned so much wisdom watching Drew ask difficult questions and wrestle through some of life's biggest struggles that would turn lesser men into sheep. Drew perseveres through challenges and finds a way to lead and live a joy filled life with his brothers, his wife, and his friends in humility and sincerity drawing ever deeper in relationships with one another, and the Lord. He loves the outdoors, hanging with Marina & their new Bernedoodle puppy Penny. He also has mad fire starting skills!! What a gift to call you my brother and have you by my side.
Denny Adams
Groomsman
Denny Adams. Denny is a dear friend from my time of living in Ohio after college. Denny is a faithful husband, a kind father and a funny Grandpa. I was privileged to live in his & Pam's home for a season and witnessed these relationships first hand. He is the real deal. Denny loves God and His Word and allowed me to join his weekly men's Bible Study Group even though I was by far the youngest guy. We connected and became fast friends, despite the age difference. Denny is an engineer by trade , super intelligent and an avid reader of all things Science Fiction! I'll never forget those deep 'What If' conversations on how we as the human race could develop outer space. We could talk for hours. Sorry Pam ;> Denny has sparked my creativity more times than I can count. He also built a professional woodworking shop inside his home and loves to build furniture! So cool! Who knew this temporary housing offer would result in a life long friend. Denny, I'm deeply honored our friendship has remained and you will be standing with me celebrating on my special day.
Dominic Lee
Groomsman
Dominic Lee. Everyone needs a friend like Dom. He's a 'Battle Buddy" through and through. Dominic is a military veteran, a police officer, and a good-hearted faith filled man who would run into enemy fire to save his friends. Dominic and I lived together in Ohio during my Space Podcast Journey. We too had many late night 'what if' talks about the Universe and read Jordan Peterson's '12 Rules for Life' during that year as housemates. Dominic, it's a gift to know you, to fight with you and to grow in holiness along side you. Thanks for standing with me. Let's dance our socks off!
Ryan Tiller
Groomsman
Ryan. I first met Ryan in college at the University of Georgia, where we shared an apartment and our passion for Jocko Willink, self improvement habits and figuring out God's call on our lives. We also learned to cook. Well, sort of. Ha! Ryan is now an educator in a private Christian high school plus a Coach in track and field & soccer. Ryan, it was an honor to stand with you as you made your marriage vows to Katherine and an even greater honor to remain close friends in all the ups and downs of life, five years later. Thanks for standing with me on my special day.
