Who says there's nothing good on the internet?

It's a rather cliche story for two such original and unique people, but there it is. We met on the internet in early fall 2014. He just turned 40, she just found a new house and new career, and they both had a middle schooler at home. One kid just bought a house, the other is working on a doctorate, and some bonus kids, grandkids, pets and grandpets keep things real. With all this, a wedding is just the icing on the cake.

Wedding Party

Karlee

Officiant

Eric's daughter, part of the dynamic duo who got to sit on the sidelines and watch our story begin. Who better to help us solidify our commitment?

Max

Officiant

Ask Max about Eric's nickname for him. Jennie's youngest, and the other half of the duo has a creative streak that may or may not make the couple glad he could be part of the joining of our families.

Elise

Bride Wrangler

Jennie kept Elise in line as a kid. Who better to help her keep it together on the big day?

Zane

Host

Zane, number three of Jennie's kids, will help welcome you to our big day, and along with his brother, help you to have what we hope is a great day!

Michael

Host

Michael, Jennie's oldest, joins his brother in welcoming you to our big day. If he's not at the door with Zane, he might be chasing a little gangster.

Charlie

Flower Child

Michael and his wife Jen's oldest child, Charlie will help us kick things off with style!

Liam and Cole

Usher

Where there's one, there's two. Elise and Gregs kids are excited to help out by showing guests to their seats after a handoff from their uncles Zane and Michael!

Jackson

Ring Security

Michael and Jen's youngest. Who better to give the rings to, than the youngest member of the family? Hopefully he can be convinced to go give Papa Eric knucks and hand over the goods!
