Kristen & Ryan
Wedding Party
Lauren Nye
Matron of Honor
Lauren and I met in high school where we bonded at a Youth In Government conference over a mutual love of Wheat Thins and dancing. We shared a locker and thousands of notes about boys, life, love, and dance. She is the most kind and caring woman you'll ever meet - an incredible mother, a brilliant doctor, and my forever friend. Friends are the family that you choose, and I have to say, I make excellent choices. LYLAS!
Aaron Jacobs
Best Man
Aaron is my Best Man, favorite brother... and only brother. We have known each other since I was born. As my older brother, he paved the way so that I got in trouble less. Without his mistakes, I don't know where I would be today. He has always backed me up, even beat up a kid who was picking on me on the school bus. He is one of the nicest, well-intentioned, and loyal people I know.
Kelley Thrasher
Matron of Honor
Best friends since 4th grade, we've survived everything from awkward tween years, being college roommates in the smallest room at the dorm, traveling cross country together, and everything in between. As an only child, Kelley is the closest thing I have to a sister! She's the Thelma to my Louise, the lamb to my tuna fish, the Smonkey to my Spanger. My life wouldn't be the same, wouldn't be as fun, and woudn't have as much adventure without her in it!
Zachary Haith
Groomsman
Zac has been my best friend since the 6th grade. We grew up down the street from each other, brothers in jewish youth group, and have been friends ever since. Zac has been my partner in crime, and accomplice in life. He will always stop what he is doing to help, no matter the circumstances. If I ever have to move large, heavy, and bulky items he is the first person I call.
Ellie Grace Nye
Flower Girl
Daughter of my matron of honor, Lauren. So proud to be the godmother of this sweet, sassy, smart little girl who brightens every room with her bright smile and endless joy!
Brad Jacobs
Groomsman
Brad is my cousin. Brad and I looked so much alike when we were younger, we got mistaken for brothers. But I grew up, and he stayed short. We reconnected after College and have been good friends ever since. I was so fortunate to be a Groomsman for his wedding. Brad's idea of a good time is when the people around him are having a good time. He always goes enthusiastically over and above the call of duty for any occasion.
Gavin Jacobs
Ring Bearer
My cousin Gavin is always smiling and always having fun. He's one of the most athletic kids I know, talented at soccer, tball, and anything else he puts his mind to. He has big curls and an even bigger heart.
