Wedding Party
Aditi Sood
Maid of Honor
Hello! My name is Aditi, and it is my privilege to serve as Taylor’s Maid of Honor! I majored in biology at the University of Evansville. I am currently in medical school at Indiana University and am interested in pediatrics. I first met Taylor during my freshman year seminar class at the University of Evansville. I still remember when she introduced herself to the class. She was brilliant, poised, compassionate, and so confident. In that moment, I knew I had just met someone who was going to change the world. In Taylor, I have made a friend for life. She has taught me how to find balance, trust in myself, and step out of my comfort zone. I know that she has done this for so many others. Seven years later, and I still admire the way she challenges those around her to be the best version of themselves. Because Taylor is my best friend, I had very high standards for the person she would marry. Grant had some very big shoes to fill. Despite my very best efforts at intimidating glares and tough questions (i.e. what are your intentions with my best friend?!), Grant is impossible to dislike. He is easygoing, hard-working, and like his fiancé, incredibly kind. From the moment I met him, I begrudgingly accepted that there wasn’t another person on Earth I would pick as my best friend’s soulmate. He is her perfect match. It has been a joy watching their love grow and I can’t wait to celebrate this beautiful milestone in Taylor and Grant’s love story. See you at the wedding!
Chad Bargeloh
Best Man
Hello, I am Chad Bargeloh, Grant’s “older” brother and Best Man. I work as a mechanical engineer at Arconic and live downtown in Knoxville, Tennessee. As Grant’s twin brother, those who know the two of us know we have done almost everything together growing up. From school, baseball, college, and all of our other hobbies throughout the last 26 years. I remember when Grant and Taylor first started getting to know each other. I honestly thought it was not going to last this long until a trip to Holiday World one day. Fairly early into Grant and Taylor’s relationship, my family decided to go to Holiday World and invited Taylor to come along. Ironically, Grant ended up not being able to make it but that didn’t stop Taylor from joining. Her and I had a great time riding rollercoasters and from then on out, Taylor has earned the right of being a part of our family. Taylor and Grant love a lot of the same hobbies. Whether it is traveling, seeing comedians, watching Friends or laying on a beach. It’ll be an absolute pleasure watching them keep building their lives together in Savannah. I can’t wait to have a great time celebrating the both of them at their wedding.
Hannah Soellner
Bridesmaid
Hi my name is Hannah Soellner and I am currently pursuing my Masters degree in social work at Ball State University! I met Taylor freshman year of undergrad fall of 2017. She found me at the Cafe court and called me by name. I had to embarrassingly ask what her name was again. To which she responded "it's Taylor". We grew closer towards the end of spring semester as we bonded over organic chemistry. I met Grant the following semester, fall of 2018 as he would bring Taylor an apple charger in Koch as we studied for Organic chemistry II. I personally met Grant as I helped give Taylor's first of many valentine presents to him. She was over seas and still made sure Grant knew he was loved. When I roomed with Taylor fall of 2019, Grant became a 5th roommate and friend. Many late nights and unforgettable memories later, I'm honored to join them in celebrating their big day!

My name is John and I am currently studying law at the University of Kansas School of Law. After graduation, I will be practicing in Evansville, Indiana. I love hanging out with friends, spending time outdoors, and watching and playing sports. I met Grant and Taylor through college at the University of Evansville. Grant and I were both members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. I met Taylor through the biology department at the University of Evansville. My favorite memory with Grant and Taylor is the weekend trip Taylor planned to Six Flag’s Halloween Fright Fest! I am excited to celebrate with them on their wedding day!
Pamela Oliva
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Pam! I love the great outdoors, and hope to explore more of what nature has to offer. I love music and dancing, reading, and I always try to look for new experiences and places! I currently live in Washington, DC, and have loved getting to explore the city! I met Taylor at our university’s orientation (go UE!) - at the time I didn’t know I’d be making a life long friend. She’s been there for me during so many important parts of my life, always motivating me to be a better person, giving the best advice, and making life so much more fun! It’s been so great to see Taylor and Grant grow together over the years - I’m so excited and honored to be a part of this next step in their lives and to celebrate it together :)
Hasaan Ladha
Groomsman
My name is Hasaan and I am a mechanical engineer. I live in Fishers, Indiana, and have a 5 year old son, named Emery. I enjoy playing poker and spending time with friends. I met Grant through our fraternity during his freshman year of college. My oldest memories of Grant are him being the shyest man I’ve ever met in my life. I don’t think he said more than a dozen words to me in our first 20 interactions. Taylor on the other hand, had probably used every word in the English language before our first interaction was over. I’ve had so many amazing experiences with Grant and Taylor. My favorite memory is going to the Dominican Republic during covid. Everyone was starting to get irritable from being cooped up and going to the beach was a great way to recharge our batteries. I am so excited for whatever the future has in-store for Grant and Taylor because I know they will make the best of it. Between 4.0 Taylor’s intelligence and Grant’s dedication, they will make an amazing impact on this world, provided Grant doesn’t lose it all in Vegas. ;)

During welcome week freshman year, I decided to sit down next to Grant, Chad, and their friend Logan. We ended up joining same fraternity & traveling Europe together. My favorite memories with Grant have been getting to take his money during our many poker nights over the years.
Corinna Thomas
Bridesmaid
Hi! My name’s Corinna and I am Taylor’s younger sister. I love going on adventures and music is a passion of mine. Growing up, we would travel a lot as a family. My favorite memory from traveling is from the time we went to Universal. I was scared to go on a ride, so to cheer me up Taylor made up a song with motions while we waited in line. My favorite memory with Grant is from when I was first learning to drive. Grant was brave enough to be my passenger and he helped teach me…he survived! :) When I first met Grant I was excited and hoped that he was going to become a part of our crazy family someday, and finally he will be. I’m excited for Taylor and Grant to enter this next chapter of their lives and I’m looking forward to seeing where life takes them.
Clayton Thomas
Groomsman
My name is Clayton Thomas, and I am Taylor’s younger brother. I went to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for undergrad and am now an Agriculture Teacher in Decatur, Illinois. My favorite memory with Taylor and Grant is when we went on a New Years cruise to the Caribbean. We had such a fun time swimming with stingrays, learning to make/dance the salsa, zip-lining, and snorkeling! I am excited to spend time with them during their wedding weekend!
Renee Bargeloh
Bridesmaid
Hi! I’m Renee and I am Grants youngest sister. I am currently a student at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and live in Knoxville when I’m not at school. My favorite memories of Grant and Taylor are spending many warm days with them on the boat, even though Taylor somehow always manages to get sunburnt despite the tons of sunscreen she puts on. I’m so glad Grant has found someone as amazing as Taylor. She has become another sister in my eyes. We have talked about the highs, lows, and all the drama in between. I am so excited to celebrate with Grant and Taylor on their big day!
Quentin Meier
Groomsman
My name is Quentin Meier and my proudest accomplishments are graduating from Oakdale Elementary and winning the best DARE program essay. I now work at Crane Naval Base as an electrical engineer. While in college I was a brother of the superior fraternity to SAE, FIJI. I currently reside in Evansville with my fiancé, Brooke, and soon to be step-daughter, Elliette. My first contact with the specimen known as “Grant”, was sometime in 2016 when he decided to check out FIJI. Where I then promptly forgot he existed for a year since he went SAE. But then through a semester of traveling Europe together and countless activities that my DARE essay warned against we became great friends. Between traveling the world, putting down many drinks, losing money gambling, and eating far too many hot dogs at a Cardinals game, it is hard to choose a favorite memory. However, I will go with the cabin trip to St Louis since it has the bonus points of including Taylor.
Kayla Guerzini
Bridesmaid
I’m Kayla and I am Grants older sister. I live in South Carolina with my husband, Connor, and 3 kiddos, Wesley, Jovie, and Margo. I remember when Grant started bringing Taylor to family gatherings. She was always so sweet and jumped into the chaos with grace. Some of my favorite memories are when we stay up late at holidays playing party games that would have us all in fits of giggles. I’m so excited to share in their special day and have loved seeing my little brother find such a beautiful and incredible bride to create a life together with.
Josh Ballard
Groomsman
My name is Josh and I grew up across the street from the Bargelohs. I live in Newburgh, Indiana with my wife, Olivia, and our dogs. My favorite memory of Grant is the picture of Grant and Chad butt naked with their dad mowing the John Deere. Fun fact: In pictures, Grant can't tell which baby he is.
