Samantha & Ac
Wedding Party
Jessy Chandler
Maid of Honor
Jessy & I have known each other since high school! We cheered together all four years and had many late night adventures with Ac & his friends! Since then we became co-workers and have built many fun memories! We always like to get together to have a drink that usually ends with me convincing her to help me create a new routine for my competitive cheer team! Jessy is always ready for a good time and I can't wait to have her by my side on my big day cheering me on!
Tyler Lalk
Best Man
Mr. Lalk and I have been friends since high school! These days you can't catch us together without a pole in one hand and a net ready to go in the other. Back in the good old days he was even keeping Samantha and I company all those late nights at Quiznos. Tyler and his family are such a blessing to us and we can't express how grateful we are for their friendship over the years.
Kylie Tacheny
Bridesmaid
I was lucky enough to meet Kylie in college and our friendship blossomed! We quickly went from roommates to co-workers to cheer coaches to best friends. She has always shared my passion to pursue cheer and now we're even rival coaches at our old high school teams! I cherish the days Ac and I get to spend time on the boat with Kylie and Matt, and of course Cohen & Maren! I'm couldn't be happier that she will be standing by my side on our big day!
Zack Reeder
Groomsman
Zack, my kid brother, my partner in crime, the little pain in the butt... there are many words to describe you, but I think I can sum them all up in two words... YOU BET! I can't tell you how excited we are to have you standing by us at our wedding. I've loved watching you grow over he years and you never cease to amaze us with your ability to overcome any obstacle. You have been there for me throughout the years, not only as my brother but as my friend. You are such a bold person and I know you are going to be the life of the party at my wedding!
Jessie May
Bridesmaid
Jessie and I met in high school, but I decided we were going to be life long friends when we started working together at Quiznos. She was such a good time at every shift, I made sure we kept working together throughout our adulthood. She's been there for me since the beginning and is such a genuine, caring person. She is so important to us and we appreciate everything she's done over the years. We love you so much and I couldn't imagine getting married without you by my side!
Chazz Pomerinke
Groomsman
Car guys need other car guys... Chazz is my car guy! When I want to talk motors or engines he's the guy I go to. This love for vehicles has even gone small scale with our new found love for RC cars. When I'm not kicking his butt at the track, we're in a garage planning our next project.
Sarah Davis
Bridesmaid
Sarah came busting into my life her freshmen year and hasn't left since! I pity anyone that doesn't have a Sarah in their life. It's impossible to not be in a good mood around her, between her witty charm and her free spirit she's the whole package. Her energy is unmatched and I can't wait to see the moves she brings to the dance floor on my big day!
Sam O'Meara
Groomsman
Mr. O'Meara has been my friend since sophomore year of high school, but he has a unique place in our line up because he and Samantha were actually friends before we met. One night Samantha called him up to hang out and I just happened to be around. That was the night I met my future wife. I took my time... so our relationship actually began 4 years later. Sam has always played an important role in our relationship so I couldn't imagine not having him by my side to see us take this next step.
Sarrah Conner
Bridesmaid
Sarrah was another college cheer friend along with Kylie and our friendship grew just as fast. I will always cherish the memories we made in our apartment together, and to this day I'm still peeling the tiny dots off my dvds. She is always a good time and though I don't share her love for tequila, we shared some unforgettable nights. I'm so glad I was able to build this special friendship with Sarrah and I can't wait to see what other memories we share in the future.
Kevin Jernstrom
Groomsman
Kevin & the groom have worked a few different jobs over the years together! They were to be close friends once they found out they were both into Hondas, Toyotas, and going "Wheelin". Lots of late nights staying up tuning vehicles and working on the next project! Samantha was a sport and would come along every now and then to see what new project we were working on. We are excited to have Kevin be a part of our big day!
Lane Morrow
Bridesmaid
Lane and I actually met in College during cheer, even though we attended the same high school. She is such a sweet soul with a wild fun side, so we clicked right away! She has been a great friend to both Ac and myself and I am so proud of her for pursing her passion in Hawaii. She's also been lucky enough to meet her love Luis while living there and I am so happy for both of them! Without fail we visit San Franscisco Sourdough Eatery and Red Robin when she's in town so we can reminisce on all the memories we built there. I feel so special to have Lane standing by me on my big day!
Ian Molter
Groomsman
I met Ian when he was a customer of CN Diesel and if you know Ian you know he wants to make sure things are getting done right! I could relate to this so he quickly went from customer, to buddy, to one of my close friends along with his wife Ashlei. We share the love of adventure & outdoors and Samantha and I actually got the privilege in 2020 to stand by Ian & Ashlei at their wedding and see them onto their next step!
Maren
Flower Girl
Maren is the daughter of one of the bridesmaids, Kylie. She is full of sass and laughs! You will not be able to keep your eyes off her on the way down the isle!
Lily
Flower Girl
Lily is the daughter of Samantha's cousin Stephanie. She always has a smile on her face and is ready to have fun. It has been exciting to watch her grow into a mini version of her mother who I looked up to growing up! She is just as fun and full of energy as her mother!
Paxton
Ring Bearer
Paxton is the Son of the Best Man, Tyler! He is also Ac's God Son! He is just a bundle of love and boogers and we are excited for him to be along side his "Uncle Ac & Auntie Russo" on our big day!
Andy Crateau
Officiant
Andy became a part of our lives a few years back. He’s shared guidance, grace, & love with both of us! We are so excited he will be there to help us take that next step in our relationship!
Heidi & Mario
Bride’s Parents
Heidi & Mario are the Bride’s parents. They have been married for 31 years. We want to thank them for all their support, love, and guidance. You mean so much to us and we couldn't have taken this next step with out you! We love you, & Thank you!

Brittany & Chase
Special Speaker
Brittany is Ac's sister and Chase is his brother in law. We are so excited to have Brittany speak at our wedding and tell our love story! She has always been there for our big relationship milestones. Ac has always been able to go to Brittany for relationship advice and she even helped him when he asked me to be his girlfriend. When Ac decided to surprise Me again with a proposal Brittany and Chase were such a tremendous help! We are so thankful them both, and excited that they will to be a part of our big day as we take our next together in October 2021!
