Sarah & Josh
Wedding Party
Emily
Matron of Honor
We've been friends since our freshman year of college when I used to leave post-it notes greeting Emily in the mornings when she had ROTC. From her wedding to mine, we have had many adventures! I've been to Hawaii with Emily and visited her at her former home in Colorado. Our lives continue to change as I have watched baby Kate grow into a toddler and baby Lauren helped pick out a wedding dress. Keep an eye out as Emily's oldest daughter, Kate, will be joining the day as our flower girl. This day couldn't happen without Emily by my side!
Adrien
Maid of Honor
The yin to my yang - good luck telling her apart from Emily! Freshmen together at OSU; the Buckeye spirit lives on. It started off with making forts in our dorm rooms to a lifelong friendship. We have had so many adventures together, from Bonnaroo to New Orleans for the Alabama-OSU game (go bucks!) and off to Disney World for the Wine and Dine half marathon, we somehow survived it all. Studying at Loyola to become a Clinical Psychologist, naturally, Adrien has always been a great shoulder to lean on and I am so happy to have her as my Maid of Honor.
Linda
Bridesmaid
Distance girls for life - our friendship started during the early days of high school cross country and track! Please don't ask us why we ever thought biking 180 miles over two days was a good idea, but we spent many years raising money and biking together for Pelotonia. Along with our half-marathons that we swear we will not do again (and then end up running the next year). We've grown from young teens to young women together! Look out for this future OT in the making by my side at the wedding.
Rebecca
Bridesmaid
Out of all of my bridesmaids, she has known me the longest! My sister, Rebecca, is joining the party. An actuary and mother of Ezra (the golden retriever) - she loves Disney almost as much as our mother. We spent a lot of time together playing the bassoon - we even gave our church a few duets growing up! We have had many adventures together (mostly surviving them all) and I am excited to have her join me on this new adventure as one of my bridesmaids.
Shelley
Bridesmaid
What started with numerous questions about liquid nitrogen tanks - ended with a friendship! Shelley has become a good friend over the years along with her entire family. We worked on the same floor for years until I recently left, she's a great researcher and incredible team member. Not only that, but she helps keep me in shape with our pre-covid adventures to the RPAC and walks around OSU. She is a great addition to the bridal party and keep an eye our for her daughter Delilah who will be joining our crew.
Jordan
Bridesmaid
Stumbling upon each other on the floors of Wiseman (our work building) - this was only the beginning of many adventures. From Colorado to a few camping trips - to Disney and the beach! We have traveled all across the US to see what is out there. Jordan has been my go-to pal for concerts and outings galore - even if that includes a tent flooding on one trip and 2am wake up calls for journeying to the pitch black darkness of a trailhead on another. Now onto another adventure with her as my bridesmaid!
Anna
Bridesmaid
I couldn't be more excited to have Anna as my soon to be sister-in-law! Don't be surprised if our mutual love for mountains and the west brings many future adventures. If you want a funny story - you should ask Anna about her first thoughts when I gave her a surprise with an unmarked box (when I asked her to be a bridesmaid). She has a great sense of humor and I am looking forward to all of the laughs and stories we will have over the years. I am looking forward to her joining me on my wedding day as one of my bridesmaids.
Lil Ben
Best Man
I've know him since our sophomore year in high school. He has traveled the world and even played with penguins in Antarctica. We shared a journey when we drove from L.A. back home to Columbus. He is my personal stylist when called upon. You will probably find him on the dance floor.
Big Ben
Best Man
We met in the dorms at the University of Cincinnati. He has one of the most creative minds that never stops, which is probably why he carries a pen in his pocket at all times. If you ask nicely he may doodle something for you on your bev nap.
Matt
Groomsman
Early in college you would find him waking up on our couch on Saturdays and Sundays. He is mr. fix it or just builds it. He and Big Ben built a bar for our house in college. He may try and sneak 9 holes of golf in the day of the wedding (I might join him).
Noah
Groomsman
When we lived together he held 3 jobs at once and I not sure when he was actually sleeping! We stumbled home to our hotel room in Vegas after a beer pong tournament. Big mistake playing "professionals". If you see him playing darts I would stay away because he is playing with his own darts not the bars cheap ones.
Chris
Groomsman
We met when I was living in Dayton. We formed our own wolfpack (The Hangover). We share a love for Guinness and all beers actually. He is always looking for someone to have some good banter with....are you up for it?!
Joe
Groomsman
We met on an 11 hour car ride to Panama City. When we lived together we both broke our backs moving our roommates TV! If you get bored (I don't know how you could be) he is the king of would you rathers.
Rob
Groomsman
Proud....PROUD alumni of Elder (as well as Matt) in Cincinnati. We were able to remain friends even though he is a Michigan fan. I will say, he came to an OSU tailgate when they were playing Michigan while wearing maize and blue! If you can't find any ketchup just check with Rob he probably brought his own.
