Jillian & Dan
Wedding Party
Jessi Stryk
Maid of Honor
I have known Jessi since the day she was born. Our parents often brought up the fact that we were supposed to be 4 years apart but 20 months is pretty close. I have always enjoyed having a sister pretty close in age except when my clothes started to disappear. Jessi is the social butterfly of the family and makes every family event a blast. Now as a young adult, she keeps our family educated on the newest wine trends and her adventures of traveling the country for work. Minutes after Dan proposed, Jessi jokingly shared her fears about not being involved in the wedding or even invited but there is no one I would rather have stand beside me.
Tim Snow
Best Man
I've known Tim since, well, his birth-day. My parents weren't planning to have a third child but I'm glad they did. We grew up sharing a room, bunk beds, playing together, and always spending time together. While I like to think I was the easy one, Tim on the other hand was a human, red-headed tornado that wrecked everything in its path. Just ask my mother who would clean one room, go to the next and then immediately go back and have to clean the previous room because the Tim-nado had plowed through. We share a lot of the same interests and hobbies, cheer for the sames sports teams and even hold similar jobs! Although we don't get to see a lot of each other anymore with him living in South Carolina and I living in Texas, we still have our brotherly bond. I'm proud of where Tim is today!
Bridesmaids
Jiilian's Crew
Rebecca Wechter- I have known Becca since high school. She helped me survive the awkward high school years and the continues to be a great support in my life. Angelina Cerone- Angelina and I have known each other since I noticed someone was following me at Ohio State. We are both "vertically challenged" and our academic adviser thought we would get along. I am glad she made that assumption because without her I may not have even met Dan. Emily Toutkoushian- Emily and I met when four girls were forced to share a closet sized dorm room. She is responsible for a few of my Ohio State adventurous stories. Emily Huschart- Emily and I met because she started hanging out with the four girls crammed into that closet sized dorm room. She brought a sense of sanity to the situation.
Groomsmen
Dan's Crew
Asher Gorestsky- I have known Asher since Kindergarten in Ms. Donatos class. We both share a love for baseball and the Yankees and are always ones to bounce corny jokes off each other Scott Watson- Scott and I met at Wonell VanTassel's pre-school. We have been good friends ever since. Scott is a former FBI agent and used to talk to microwaves in his sleep. Chris Scheer- In high school you'd most likely find Chris and I in a few places, on a soccer field, in front of a TV playing FIFA or driving up and down the Taconic State Parkway at night windows down and singing. Josh Palmer- Josh was always the comic relief. Not afraid to take a joke anywhere and not afraid to be the butt of the joke. Common bond today between Josh and I is playing online games together on occasion.
