Sarah-Jane & Jack Putnam
Wedding Party
Isabella McIlvene
Maid of Honor
Hi everyone, Sarah is one of my closest friends that I hold very dearly to my heart. She is one of the very few people, if not the only one that I can ask for anything and no questions are asked. I know everyone likes to joke around with these descriptions but in all honestly, Sarah is my family, my best friend, my sister and all of the above. It’s hard for me to share my favorite memory with Sarah because we have so many and many of those memories are too inappropriate to share with the public. I would just like to thank the family, and most importantly Jack for agreeing to keep in contact with me and respect the fact that I will be in your lives forever. See y’all at the wedding. YEEHAW!!

I ASPIRE TO LOVE LIKE YOU DO Dear Jack and Sarah Jane, Your love for each other shines like the brightest star. Your laughter fills every room, and your smile brightens even a stranger's day. I've never met two people more compatible and in love than you are. You've endured some of the hardest heartaches and tragedies that even I cannot fathom. Yet, through it all, you've stayed strong and supportive of one another, and for that I truly admire. Sarah Jane, as I reminisce on our family trip to Florida in 2017, I think about how excited you were to reunite with Jack. Jack brought you flowers and called you Sarah California....and the rest is history! When I met Jack for the first time I knew that he was an incredibly smart, outgoing, faithful, and loving man. I couldn't be more excited for you to become life partners. I look up to you both in many ways and wish you the best of luck in your life together. May it be filled with laughter, joy, family, faith, and love. I know that your love will always shine bright for one another. With love, Nicole
Caroline Peck
Bridesmaid
Hi everyone! My name is Caroline (or Cara as some would call me). Almost 6 years ago, Sarah and I were randomly assigned to be roommates during our freshman year of college at CU. I remember being so scared moving into the dorms with someone I didn’t know, but the moment we met for the first time I knew she was my forever friend. From the very first night in the dorms together till this day, she has been my partner in crime (AKA my two seater). So much so that we pushed our beds together in the dorms making a GIANT king size bed. Sarah is the reason I made it through college in one piece. We have been through so many fun adventures together from day 1 to now! From all the wild nights to all the long nights studying in college, to Florida/California/Georgia/Wyoming/Las Vegas trips, our scary movie nights where we eat anything and everything we can get our hands on, camping trips, ski trips; the list goes on and on. But the most fun adventure for me has been watching Sarah and Jack reunite to create the most wonderful and beautiful adventure of all. I love you both x10000 and I can’t wait to watch you grow together in this new chapter of life and love. ❤️ Cheers to YA’LL!!! To us living in the same state again soon, and to a million more adventures and memories to come!
Megan Beckman
Bridesmaid
Hello! Sarah and I met through high school cheerleading in Germany. We were instant best friends and did everything together, including struggling through chemistry and breaking up with our boyfriends at the same time so we didn’t have to do it alone (sorry Jack, but it worked out in the end!). Like most kids in the military we moved to different places after our sophomore year, but we still stayed in touch over the years. We’ve been there for each other to celebrate the best of times and have been a a steady shoulder for each other in the heartbreaks of life. It is such an honor to get to stand by Sarah on her big day especially since she gets to marry the most perfect guy for her. It’s such a full circle moment since I was there for their first kiss back in Germany…by the fest bathrooms… I was there for the very beginning of the story of Jack and Sarah and I can’t wait to be there as they are declared husband and wife. Here’s to the future Putnams!
Megan Putnam
Bridesmaid
Hey guys, my name is Megan and I am Sarah's soon-to-be Sister-in-Love. But don't worry, I married into the family, so I'm semi-normal 😆. I actually met sweet Sarah on my wedding day and I gotta say, Jack picked a great plus one! A few of my favorite memories with Sarah would have to be snorkeling in Pensacola, having the whole fam up to Washington/Idaho for Christmas 2020 (where Jack and Sarah got engaged!), and taking a trip adventuring in Wyoming last summer. My son Will absolutely LOVED hanging out with Uncle Jack and Aunt Sarah! I can't wait to celebrate the new Mr. & Mrs. Putnam in August!!
Gabrielle Putnam
Bridesmaid
I’m Gabi, AKA Jack’s big sister, and Sarah’s former high school cheer teammate. I knew Sarah and I were destined to be sisters from the very beginning.... First, she captured Jack’s heart... and very shortly thereafter, she captured mine. No really, zoom in and you will see me and Sarah, side by side, forming the center of the heart :,) Just to name a scintilla of special moments we have shared together: Her New Orleans birthday trip, when we drank bloody Mary’s and duetted acoustic T-Pain in the hotel room; Matching Costco PJ Christmases; Wedding veils in the Gulf of Mexico; and endless hours spent drinking Choccy Mookie and teaching Jackson cuss words. “BIG Sarah” (don’t call her that) is the world’s best hugger and, although I’ve been calling her my sister for a while, I can’t wait for it finally be official
Sara Putnam
Bridesmaid
Hey y’all, I’m “little” Sara, “Big” Sarah’s future sista in law (thank you jackson for name creds). I currently live on the Mississippi Coast with my three kitties. Although I share an infinite amount of happy memories with Sarah, my most favorite would have to be the last ski trip I went on with her and Jack. She’s an absolute beast on a snowboard 🤘🏼After a full day on the mountain, we went back to the house and rated Japanese snacks while watching a close family friend’s movie “Wild Game”. 10/10.
Luke Putnam
Best Man
Hey guys this is Luke I go by the name Luke Skywalker, I am the youngest brother of Jack. My most fond or favorite memory of Jack has to be the time we both used our closet in Oklahoma as a bathroom.. No just kidding my actual favorite memory with Jack is playing video games with him and playing army men. May the force be with you.
Aaron Putnam
Groomsman
My name is Aaron, but I prefer to be called Sir Aronia, keeper of Wilhelm. I'm the older brother of the one called Jack. I currently reside in the Northwestern realm in the Washingtonian Kingdom. I am caretaker of the great iron birds of Fairchild and brewer of strong drinks. A great and fond memory exists between me and Jack. In our youth, we were commanders of a great army together in the Oklahoma realm. Together, we built a military of superior firepower consisting of green men, paper airplanes, hundreds of live frogs, M-80 explosives and many other implements of power and destruction (including both fire as well as super "duction" power). Together, we shared a great victory in this endeavor. It will never be forgotten. Let there never be a day that we shall not draw swords together!!!
Josh Lang
Groomsman
Hi I'm Josh, I'm Jacks favorite brother-in-law, and I'm a Jackoholic. "Hi Josh" (I imagine the crowd's response). Top jack memories are drinking and ice skating, drinking in NOLA, drinking on New Years, and drinking while I demolish him in the ultimate man sport... tennis. We should probably stop drinking so much but I don't even know if we'd get along sober..
Brandon Alvarado
Groomsman
Hey y'all my name's Brandon! I'm the brides brother originally from San Diego, now living in Colorado. One of my favorite memories with Jack was thanksgiving trip 2021 to San Antonio with family.
Tristen Phelps
Groomsman
Hey y'all! I'm Tristen Phelps, I am one of Jack's oldest friends, we have know each other since we were 12. I see him like one of my own brothers. I honestly have so many memories with this knucklehead I don't even know where to begin. We have done so much together that the list is endless. I thoroughly enjoy embarrassing him in public. Just to watch him squirm in his seat.
Nathan Bulot
Groomsman
Hey guys this is Nathan Bulot. I recently moved to San Antonio, TX. My favorite memory with Jack has to be the time we spent all day bass fishing and drinking beers. Don't really remember how we did on the fish but It was a bad day to be a beer to say the least. So many beers met their fate that Saturday that Jack had let his guard down, trusted the wrong fart, and ruined his shorts.
Parker Boyle
Groomsman
I'm Parker Boyle, I live in NC now about to finish my masters in business administration this summer. My favorite memory of Jack and I is definitely all the shenanigans in Stuttgart, Germany from playing baseball with Germans to starting fires in my neighborhood.
Jaret Falkowski
Groomsman
What's up I'm Jaret. I live in Wyoming and met Jack through playing baseball out here and have come to know him through our many hunting, fishing and camping trips over the last couple years. My favorite memories with Jack have been a combination of the animals we've killed together and the many grill-outs over open flames with lots of meat and beer.
Ezrae Lovato
Junior Bridesmaid
Hi, my name is Ezrae. I am a junior bridesmaid for my most beautiful cousin <3. I secretly like Brandon more.. but could not turn down the chance to help my #2 get down the aisle. I just received my first communion and was nominated student of the year in my class. I will be the one singing on the dance floor with my cool blue hair.
Jackson Lang
Ring Bearer
Hey guys, my name is Jackson. I am Jack and Big Sarah's oldest nephew. I had pre-K graduation with Uncle Jack on the same day, but his diploma was brown and mine was blue. Why was Uncle Jack's brown? One time, Uncle Jack and Big Sarah took me to the dollar store and I got lots of toys. Daddy was mad. Daddy doesn't think I need more toys.
William Putnam
Ring Bearer
Salutations, William here. I am he, who made the nephews thrice. I am nearly two, and enjoy navigating common household terrain. I love to garden with my mommy and daddy and enjoy the oodles and oodles of fresh dirt.. can be a little dry at times, but it always seems to stir a laugh. You know it's gonna be a good day when you find a juicy rock...
Beckett Lang
Ring Bearer
Hey guys, it's me, Beckaboo. I just turned two! Jackson is my big brudduh and I am a ball connoisseur. Tennis balls, baseballs, basketballs, golf balls, bouncy balls, footballs, soccer balls, gum balls, hair balls, etc. My sharp teeth just came in, great for breaking down complex carbs for bulking season, aka every season. Find me on the dance floor, getting down with the ladies, or my mommy.
