Wedding Party
Valerie Kuzmak
Matron of Honor
Vale and I met at our very first job together at Hershey’s Ice Cream, and we’ve been friends ever since. Sixteen years of laughter, support, and so many memories. I know I can count on her for absolutely anything, and she always has a way of making everyone around her feel loved and special. From her wedding in 2022 to mine, I’m so lucky to have her by my side.
Jonathan Ruggeri
Best Man
Jon’s the calm and funny older brother, mostly keeping me out of trouble, sometimes helping me get away with it. We’ve shared countless frustrations over the NFL and marathon video game sessions during COVID while I crashed on his couch. One of my favorite memories has to be watching him win the state championship in baseball back in high school.
Mya Teeter
Maid of Honor
Mya and I went from strangers to sisters almost overnight. She knows me better than anyone and brings so much energy and joy wherever she goes. You’ll rarely find the two of us not laughing and having a good time. I'm so grateful for her friendship and for the way she and her family have always treated me like one of their own. I'll always be thankful for the role they played in our story.
Jordan Ruggeri
Best Man
Jordan was the little brother stuck with me as the older one, which meant he had to deal with more than his fair share of my antics. Somehow he survived, and we even made it through college together at Grand Valley, graduating on the same day. I’m very proud of the man he’s become and grateful for the friendship he's given me all these years. Can't wait to have both my brothers standing with me on the big day.
Joslyn Rossi
Bridesmaid
Jos has been my friend forever and was my partner-in-crime through college. She’s brilliant, always has my back, and has helped me more times than I can count. I was honored to stand in her wedding last year, and while she’ll likely be welcoming her sweet baby around our wedding day, we’ll be celebrating each other from afar!
Matt Truscott
Groomsman
Matt has been my friend since we were kids, and over the years he’s basically become a brother. We’ve broken more things than I can count playing mini sticks in the basement, made it through countless music festivals together, and somehow he’s always down to hang out no matter what I’m up to.
Bethany Boesler
Bridesmaid
Bethany (aka Bboe) has been a bright, joyful presence in my life since we met at work in 2019. We hit it off immediately, bonding over our big personalities and matching energy. I can always count on her to join me in a One Tree Hill marathon or a girls night at our favorite Mexican restaurant.
Nick Truscott
Groomsman
Nick and I have been friends since our elementary days. My most memorable times with him include going to summer baseball camp together, playing ghost in the graveyard around the neighborhood, and waiting for the dial-up computer games to load. Over the years we’ve stayed close, playing in a golf league and sharing plenty of laughs along the way.
Amanda O'Keefe
Bridesmaid
Life has been more fun with Amanda in it. Whether we’re grabbing dinner, heading to a concert, spending time on the lake, or just casually hanging out, we always have a good time. She and her husband, Matt, are the kind of people who make everyone feel welcome, and I’m so grateful to have them as our friends.
Brett Hartzell
Groomsman
Brett and I have been friends for years, and he and his wife, Katie, are the glue of so many of our favorite get-togethers. Whenever I'd travel home from Grand Rapids, they always welcomed me in and let me linger on their couch. One of my favorite memories with Brett is $1 games on Monday nights at Collier and going to Taco Bell after. Patiently waiting for the day he teaches me how to golf correctly.
Azaria Jakle
Bridesmaid
Azaria and I went to high school together, but it wasn’t until later in life that we really got to know each other and became close. Since then, we’ve been pretty much inseparable. She’s goofy, kind, and has the biggest heart, and I know she’d do anything for me just like I would for her. We always have so much fun together and laugh until our cheeks hurt. She makes every day better just by being in it.
Kyle Fosmoen
Groomsman
Kyle and I have known each other since diapers, and over the years we’ve shared countless good times. We’re all on a bowling league together, where the crown pickle backs are always on his tab. Kyle keeps things entertaining, whether it’s sending random karaoke videos from his living room or always competing to be the funniest guy of the group. He’s a blast to be around, and I’m glad he’s part of this day.
Chris Poirier
Usher
Chris and I go way back to high school baseball, where I was his catcher. We ended up rooming together in college and drinking way more than we probably should have. He’s always looking out for me, and I’m glad to have him in my corner for the wedding. #MillerTimeIsEverytime #EveryTimeIsMillerTime
Jake Hartzell
Usher
My first hangout with Jake was hitting up the tanning bed to get ready for homecoming.... After that, it’s been hunting trips at his family cabin, trail riding, and more adventures than I can count. Biggest memory has to be him crashing his dirtbike in Rose City and me spending six hours to get to him out of the woods. Jake’s one of the most passionate dudes I know and is always living life full throttle.
Jimmy Tyll Jr.
Officiant
My brother has been my rock through everything, and I honestly don’t know where I’d be without him. We’ve shared so many memories, and I had the honor of being his 'best man' at his wedding in November 2024. He’s been my constant, my support, my best friend for life, and having him officiate our wedding makes this day all the more special.
