Wedding Party
Jacob Hayward
Officiant
• We met Jacob when Olga invited us on a road trip to Tennessee and Jacob proposed! • A God-fearing goofball, with a great sense of humor, who gives great advice! • Hanging out with Jacob always includes an adventure and Mexican food.
Olga Hayward
Matron of Honor
• My best friend since seventh grade! • Constantly challenges me to be my best self and asks the hard questions. • A llama loving adventurer who is constantly road-tripping with her husband, Jacob, and son, Josiah.
Austin Ross
Erin's Bridal Party
• My brother. He’s been stuck with me since birth, even though he wanted a puppy! • He went from being my biggest torturer to my biggest cheerleader. • He likes cows more than people.
Shelby Secreto
Erin's Bridal Party
• The University of Akron brought us together second semester of sophomore year. • My rock through nursing school. I would have never made it through without her. • Shelby can think of an Office or SpongeBob reference for any situation.
Brennen Shreffler
Erin's Bridal Party
• We met our sophomore year but became close our senior year during Peds. • My “Quarantine Buddy.” Drinking coffee in the Starbucks parking lot never gets old! • If you love long drives with super loud music, Brennen might be your person!
Sarah Brown
Erin's Bridal Party
• Brennen introduced us while we were studying for the NCLEX (thanks, Brennen!) • The ultimate “hype man” with the sweetest personality. • She has the best dance moves and is always down for a game of euchre.
Justin Callahan
Ryan's Bridal Party
• My big brother and my biggest influence. After eleven years Justin lost the title of being the only son (Enter Me). • One of my biggest role models. He’s shown me how to overcome obstacles and roll with the punches. • Introduced me to Lego and videogames, and for that, I can never thank him enough.
Kristin Simmons
Ryan's Bridal Party
• My big sister who was excited to have me around before I was even born. She was so excited to be a big sister that she made a card to welcome me into the family. I hope she still feels that way! • My favorite person to talk to about real-life stuff. I know I can always count on her. • Sometimes I think she might like animals more than humans, which is probably why she works at The Cleveland Zoo.
Kevin Simmons
Ryan's Bridal Party
• My brother from another mother and also Kristin’s husband. • Ever since I met Kevin, he has always made time for me and has been like a brother to me. Kevin and Kristin have been a great couple for Erin and I to look up to. • Some of my best memories with Kevin are playing videogames with him. Except Mario Kart, I can never beat him at Mario Kart.
Hayden Burd
Ryan's Bridal Party
• We met freshman year of college at The University of Akron and instantly became buds. • Hayden and I have had each other’s backs for 5 years, through relationship troubles, tough college courses, and day to day life. • I’ve had some of the best times of my life playing Rocket League and dressing up for Halloween with Hayden.
