Kevin & Lindsey
Wedding Party People
Jenna Kreiling
Maid of Honor
Jenna and Lindsey have known each other since the 7th grade when they awkwardly and slowly became friends because of a mutual friend. After high school their friendship blossomed when Jenna moved to Colorado and Lindsey flew out to visit her multiple times a year, using her to travel in Colorado. Lindsey asked Jenna to be her maid-of-honor years before she met Kevin, in a college bar in 2019.
Cody Slater
Best Man
The best friend: Cody and Kevin met on the first days of college, living two rooms apart in their freshman dorm. In between motivating each other to go to the gym at 6am every day, late nights studying or playing pick-up basketball, they spent hours chatting about school, work, medicine, and life. Going to school in Massachusetts, Kevin’s greatest fear was picking up the local accent and saying “wicked” all the time. Instead, he accidentally picked up a bit of Texas drawl.
Kaitlyn Snyder
Matron of Honor
Kaitlyn is Lindsey's 3rd oldest sister and the two are commonly mistaken for each other. Kaitlyn and Lindsey have been asked multiple times if they are twins, which Lindsey has always enjoyed since she is 5 years younger than Kaitlyn. The two are truly a dynamic duo in the ways that they talk, think, and act alike. Kaitlyn lives in Washington D.C. with her husband, Hamza, and dog, Sadie.
Peter Ackerman
Groomsman
The oldest brother: Peter introduced Kevin to running 5Ks starting with a small hometown 5K that over time inspired Kevin to run marathons. Kevin loved living in New York City together for 4 years, talking baseball, taking the Subway to Mets games, or going to Kevin’s favorite Indian lunch buffet. Kevin also enjoyed seeing him as a medical volunteer at New York City road races (both as a fellow volunteer and an injured runner!)
Chrissy MacNeill
Bridesmaid
Does being the eldest sibling automatically make you the best sibling? The world will never know. Chrissy is Lindsey's oldest sister and is always available to facetime in the grocery store when Lindsey can't figure out which aisle to look in for ingredients. Chrissy has 3 children, Charlee, Ben, and Cora, and her husband is Michael!
Geoffrey Ackerman
Groomsman
The older brother: Kevin followed in Geoffrey’s footsteps in school and extracurricular activities. They had a love of music and both played in many of the same groups in school and elsewhere. Geoffrey was frequently the director of their childhood movies, one of the most fun childhood activities with their neighborhood friends. In high school, they teamed up to be tennis partners for a couple years, and culminated in being underdogs who won the championship both as a team and as a doubles duo.
Laura Williams
Bridesmaid
Laura is Lindsey's 2nd oldest sister and has always encouraged the spontaneous and fun side of life. Laura got Lindsey to try out for the rugby team in high school, though Lindsey didn't make the team, it was still a fun experience to remember! Laura has 3 children, Ellie, Garrett, and Collin and her husband is Adam.
John Ackerman
Groomsman
The younger brother: John was always a reliable partner to play and hang out with growing up. It started with frequently playing with match box cars and trains. John was always up for heading outside for some sports, whether that was one-on-one wiffle ball games in the driveway, coming up with football plays in the backyard to use against the neighborhood kids, having a catch, or building walls and moats on the beach to protect a castle against the rising tide. Their grandfather always commented that being roommates for 16+ years, they grew by learning to pick up on each other’s strengths.
Rachel Snyder
Bridesmaid
Rachel is just above Lindsey, coming in at kid #4 in the Snyder family. Lindsey spent most of her childhood mimicking Rachel, defining the saying "mockery is the sincerest form of flattery."
John Snyder Jr.
Usher
Johnny is Lindsey's younger brother and partly the reasoning behind Lindsey's competitiveness. From monopoly, to hide-and-seek, to soccer, everything was a tight competition between the two and still is to this day. A fond memory is when Lindsey "accidently" pushed Johnny over to win a race and their mother yelled at Johnny to get off the ground. Lindsey got away with it and has bragged ever since.
Katrina Ackerman
Usher
The favorite sister: Kevin always enjoyed including her in the brother’s games and activities. It was great when she joined in on those sports in the backyard, movies filmed in the house, and ran the 5Ks. Though she would reply to her title at the beginning of this paragraph by saying, “I’m your only sister”, she is absolutely the best and Kevin is looking forward to her participating in the special day.
