Connie & Spencer
Wedding Party
Tyler Barker
Best Man
One of my favorite memories of my brother and I is from summer vacation as kids. We would ride our bikes a few miles to our local library to checkout comic-books and DVDs. We'd race home to watch movies as we ate snacks. Before binge watching was a thing, we had to wait in anticipation for the next DVD to be available as we tried catching up on our favorite tv show, Lost. It's a blessing to have a great brother who I can always count on. We're still those little kids at heart. I always enjoy getting to visit him, catching up, and talking about our favorite movies, shows, and games. Tyler is the Mario to my Luigi and I'm thankful for him.
Valerie
Maid of Honor
Valerie has to be one of the hardest working people I know. Only two years apart growing up we couldn’t be more different, and now you won’t find sisters closer. She is intelligent, bold, strong, kind and wicked smart. Every time we are together I can’t stop laughing she is so funny, even when she’s not trying to be. She has been by my side through all of life’s biggest moments so of course there’s no one else I’d want by my side as I walk into this next chapter.
Josh Osam-Duodu
Best Man
Josh has been a faithful Christian brother as our friendship has grown over the last several years. Josh enjoys learning and takes a genuine interest in other people. He'll talk to pretty much anyone, about pretty much anything, at about pretty much anytime, especially if it involves sports (don't bring up the Steelers).
Rebecca (Becky)
Maid of Honor
While Becky and I are 9 years apart people can tell just by looking us that we’re sisters. She keeps me on my toes and has one of the biggest hearts I’ve ever known. She is a sweet soul wrapped in bright red hair and my life would be duller without her. She is the life of the party and is the best dog sitter ever to my pup Hudson!
Cameron Hurtado
Groomsman
My cousin Cameron and I have many memories together, from our childhood to going on family trips to geeking out at San Diego Comic-Con. Being only 6 months apart and having similar interests, Cameron has been a cousin that I also consider to be a good friend and I'm proud to have him as one of my groomsmen.
Clarke
Bridesmaid
Clarke and I met in college both working as athletic training interns for Kentucky football. Our shared faith in Christ is what caused our friendship to blossom and we have seen each other through many of life’s huge milestones. She has always encouraged me to pursue all of my dreams and I can always count on her to tell me the honest.
Brett Jones
Groomsman
Brett aka "Bort" and I share a love for horror movies, the NBA, and card collecting. A man of many talents and the host of a regularly occurring horror night, he enjoys meeting new people and showing folks a good time. He's a hospitable person and dedicated and loyal friend. Did I mention he makes a tasty cocktail?
Ashley
Bridesmaid
My cousin Ashley and I have grown up together. We alway have fun together and she is probably the most excited for me to be getting married, she’s been asking me when I was getting a boyfriend since we were kids. She has a big heart and good style. She loves to sing so watch out for her on the dance floor!
Nick Horoski
Groomsman
A history buff, lover of all things America, and die-hard Philly fan, the one we call Horoski is a one of kind individual. He has been a listening ear at pivotal times in my life and I'm thankful for those moments. He might seem like a tough guy, but it's only because he needs a cheesesteak sandwich. It's whiz-wit, get it straight.
Michele
Bridesmaid
Michele and I have shared countless nights out on the town in Cincinnati. She started off as a coworker turned friend turned roomie. The only people that call me are my parents, my sisters, and Michele! She’d rather call than text. She’s such a great friend that always makes time to check in and talk. When your friends with Michele, you’re friends for life
German Garcia
Groomsman
German is the eccentric younger brother that I didn't ask for, but for whom I am certainly grateful. German and I bonded over our shared culture and the funny moments from our time as roommates. He is one of the most hardworking, determined, and adventurous people I've ever met, and I'm grateful God placed him in my life.
Nicole
Bridesmaid
Nicole is my oldest and dearest friend. Our dads are best friends, our moms are best friends so it was destiny that Nicole and I became best friends. While we lived in different towns we grew up in the church together and have seen each other grow through all of life’s up and downs. Our height difference always confused people but since day 1, I’ve always been certain that Nicole is more my sister than friend.
Allen Koerte
Groomsman
The pal who introduced me to gin and tonics, Allen is my kindred spirit when it comes to having that easy going vibe with life. A transplant from Hawaii, he has had an interesting journey that has landed him in Ohio. He is a caring person and its always refreshing to hangout with our resident plane jumping accountant.
Kirsten
Bridesmaid
My first and only detention I’ve ever gotten was because of Kirsten. A story for a different time. Kirsten and I grew up in catholic school and made the transition to public school together. She is alway a bundle of laughter and is a sweet soul. She is the kind of friend who will show up to my house and hangs with my parents even when I’m not home. She is not just a friend she is like family.
Ryan Albright
Groomsman
Albright and I have a few long running jokes that are tell-tale signs of a good friendship. A lover of 90s & 00s alternative rock, Albright and I get each other in a way that can only be understood by those who truly enjoy Third Eye Blind and Ronald Reagan's Tear Down This Wall speech. Ryan is a laidback but diligent friend, and I'm pleased with his selection in this years draft. Here comes the rooster.
Francesca
Bridesmaid
Francesca and I went to high school together and met during high school basketball. At one point she was even Becky’s teacher. We have spent many a nights swapping stories over margaritas and chips at our favorite Mexican restaurant. We now get to walk through this journey of being future wives and wedding planning together.
