Wedding Party
Katie Anderson
Maid of Honor
My sister and Maid of Honor — the person who knows me best and loves me anyway. From childhood memories to the biggest moments of my life, she has always been right there beside me — cheering me on, lifting me up when I needed it, and loving me in that unconditional way only a sister can. She has seen every version of me and loved me through all of them, I couldn’t imagine this day without her!
Tracy Nutty
Matron of Honor
My sister and someone I’ve always looked up to. Her love, guidance, and strength have shaped so much of who I am. She has a way of making life brighter with her kindness, her laughter, and the comfort of simply knowing she’s there. No matter where life takes us, she has always been someone I can lean on, someone who understands me in a way only a sister can. I’m so grateful to have her as my Maid of Honor.
Justin Ilkenhans
Best Man
Having my brother as my Best Man means more to me than words can say. He has been my protector, my lifelong friend, and someone who has always stood beside me through every chapter of life. Growing up together gave us a bond that only siblings understand, and I am so grateful to have him by my side on one of the most important days of my life. It truly means the world to share this moment with him.
Darrell Davis
Best Man
Some friendships change your life forever, and mine with Darrell is one of them. He’s the person who got me to Ohio. Because of him, so many incredible things in my life began — including meeting Shannon. He has been a true friend through every chapter, someone who shows up, supports you, and stands by you no matter what. Having him as my Best Man means the world to me, because our friendship has been a huge part of the journey that led me here today.
Gary Nutty
Officiant
Having Gary as our officiant is incredibly special — it’s not just about the words he will speak, but the love, trust, and connection that make this moment truly ours. He has been a part of our family’s story in so many meaningful ways, and having him guide us through this most important day makes it even more personal and heartfelt. He knows our hearts, our journey, and the love we share, and having him stand with us as we say our vows is a gift we will cherish forever. It’s a moment filled with love, laughter, and the unbreakable bonds of family.
DJ Hymon
Honor Attendant
DJ holds a place in my life that no single title could ever capture. He’s been like a son, a brother, and one of my very best friends — someone who has loved me, protected me, and stood beside me through everything. Having him as my Honor Attendant means more than words can say, because he truly is a piece of my heart. It’s especially meaningful that he will also be the one to walk my mom to her seat, representing the love, care, and strength of family that he has always given so freely.
Mary Grohoske
Mother of the Groom
A mother’s love is one of the most powerful and unconditional gifts in life, and I have been incredibly blessed to have a mother who has loved and supported me through every chapter of life. She has been there through the highs, the challenges, and everything in between, always standing beside me with unwavering love and pride. Having her walk me down the aisle is such a meaningful moment — a beautiful way to honor the bond we share and the role she has played in shaping the man I have become. It’s a moment filled with love, gratitude, and a lifetime of memories between a mother and her son, and one that will always be cherished.
Nicholas Anderson
Escort — Son of the Bride
There are moments in life that are too meaningful for words, and this is one of them. My son, Nicholas, will be walking me down the aisle—a moment that carries a lifetime of love behind it. From day one, it has been just me and him, side by side, against the world. He is the only perfect thing I have ever done in my life, and the greatest gift I will ever know. Nicholas is my heart walking outside my body, my strength, my reason, and my forever. I love him to the moon and back, endlessly and beyond measure. Having him by my side on this day is not just an honor—it is everything.
Cleo Hymon
Flower Girl
Our sweet niece Cleo will be our little flower girl, and we couldn’t be more excited to have her as part of our day! From the moment she enters, her bright smile and joyful spirit will light up the aisle. Cleo has a heart full of love and laughter, and watching her sprinkle petals is a reminder of the innocence, joy, and beauty that children bring to our lives. She may be small, but she will carry a very big piece of our hearts down the aisle with her.
Carter Hymon
Ring Bearer
Our ring bearer, my nephew Carter, holds one of the most special places in my heart. From the very beginning, he has been a piece of my soul, and my love for him is deeper than words can ever fully express. Carter’s spirit, sweetness, and light have filled my life in ways I never knew were possible. Having him be part of our wedding day is an honor beyond measure, and watching him walk down the aisle will be one of the most meaningful moments for me. He is treasured more than he will ever know.
Crew Hymon
Ring Bearer
Our little Crew will be sharing the honor of being a ring bearer with his big brother Carter, and we couldn’t be more excited to have these two by our side! Crew may have a bit of a “don’t mess with me” attitude, but that’s part of what makes him so lovable — he marches to the beat of his own drum, and we know he’ll do it with confidence down the aisle. Watching them together, carrying their important job with such pride (and just a touch of Crew’s trademark sass), will be a moment full of laughter, love, and memories we’ll treasure forever.
