Jennifer & Zachary
Wedding Party
Jessica Taylor
Maid of Honor
I have known Jennifer for literally my entire life, she’s my big sister! I have gone through every high and low with her and am so beyond excited to be her Maid of Honor. Growing up with her in my corner was amazing, I can picture her now standing in front of a car yelling at the driver as I hobbled across ice on crutches, she always protected me. It was hard when she moved away for college, but it’s such a treat when she visits because we have so many of the same interests. I love hiking, camping, fishing, playing with my big fluffy husky Akela and know how to make a mean margarita. I learned so many things from having Jenn as my sister, and a few from google proving her wrong. I cannot wait for Jennifer and Zack to get married and to bust out all my bad dance moves at the reception!
Matthew Robertson
Best Man
Zack and I first became friends in 2011 in the ASU dorms our freshman year. Long nights in front of computers, dreaming of fast cars & other objects of desire we couldn't afford were the seed to our early friendship. Since then we've had far too many adventures, trials, tribulations, highs, lows & other mischief to possibly capture within a short bio. During this significant period of time that I was too lazy to summarize, Zack introduced me to Jenn. On their way to stealing each other’s hearts, Jenn also became a close friend of my own, whom I now think of as family. These days, Zack & I work together at the same company & still manage to waste perfectly good weekends by staying in, discussing fast cars & other objects of desire, still just as unaffordable. Jenn manages to put up with us.
Jennifer Weiss
Bridesmaid
I have known Jenn since we rocked footie pajamas and could barely walk, and no, I am not referring to our years at Arizona State. Jenn is the closet person I have to a sister. She has been there through so many of my life milestones; moving to Arizona, first day of college, graduating college, my first adult job and was always a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on. Through my 4 years of living with Jenn I got to know her and eventually Zack, very well. He is the perfect compliment to Jenn, I could not have picked a better guy for my best friend. I am so glad I get to be apart of another important milestone for Jenn! J² > everything

Katie Worst
Bridesmaid
Hi! I'm Katie and I've known Jenn since we were freshman in high school Spanish class together. Some of my favorite memories with Jenn are a lot (and I mean a lot) of trips to Taco Bell, baking brownies while watching Say Yes to the Dress, singing loudly in our cars, and making heart crowns over our heads for every picture. Over the last 8 years we've lived in 4 different states but Jenn's still been by my side for all the big moments like my wedding and having a baby and now I can't wait to be by hers!

Zack and I met at the race track when we were 18, we were in the same run group and a had a lot in common. Fast forward a few years and several racing events later we became roommates. For the last few years Zack and Jenn have been family to me.
Zoe Hayes
Bridesmaid
I met Jenn during PA school. We first bonded over our love of treats and Cardi B, and I even lived with her for part of our second year of school. I knew we'd be best friends for life after I was able to tolerate her Jeopardy obsession and I survived her dragging me to the gym every day (sometimes against my will). Jenn was one of my bridesmaids when I got married, and I am so excited to return the favor! I can't wait to celebrate Jenn and Zack on their big day!

I first met Zack at a community HOA meeting and we barely spoke. Fast forward about a month, I’m pulling a late night gym session, headphones in & focused. He comes up to me & says, "hey I know you”. Headphones still in & trying to workout, I reply “hi bud” & he slowly walks away. During my next set he comes up again & at this point I’m thinking do you even know gym etiquette bro? He says, “you’re my neighbor", I say “yep got that from our first encounter, need anything?” This is the most we've ever talked and he says, “I ran here, can you give me a ride home?” Who says that?! This kid has fire, I like it. We’ve literally been inseparable ever since... due to being neighbors. All jokes aside Zack quickly became someone I’m proud to call my friend & he’s like the little brother I never had.

Bridesmaid
I met Jenn during our first day of PA school at Wake Forest! I was feeling uneasy about starting a new program & making new friends. It turns out I had nothing to worry about. Jenn & her roommate, Sam quickly became some of my best friends. We bonded over late night study pizza parties, a mutual love of Christmas decor, PROTEIN & more. I learned to respect her snacking schedule & she learned to tolerate my cat. These days, our friendship is made up of FaceTime, but I know it’s built to last. From helping me overcome my fear of YMCA BodyPump to introducing me to Lizzo, Jenn’s always inspiring me to try new things. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without Jenn’s support, inspiration & encouragement! There is no one who deserves a perfect wedding day more & I’m honored to stand by her side

Zack and I first met during our training program at Trane where we were roommates. From our first conversation, I knew we would be close friends from having so much in common and the same sense of humor. From cars and food, to hilarious work stories, we always keep each other laughing. Though we live on opposite sides of the country, I'm glad we have always been able to stay close. I am so excited for Jenn and Zack!

I am Zack's sister! Jenn and I really bonded when her and Zack came to visit me while I was in college in Santa Barbara. I am so excited for Jenn and Zack to get married

Zack and I are cousins and we practically grew up together. We definitely made quite a few memories throughout the years whether it be camping trips, our notorious Niemeyer family gatherings, or just being neighbors during our teen years. We may be all grown up now but I am looking forward to many more years of memories to be made - except now including Jenn!
