Annie & Jake
Wedding Party
Alex Robinson
Matron of Honor
Alex is my bestie from high school. Our group of lady friends, lovingly named "Per Sempre" since '07, are some of the most fun, loyal and bad-ass women I know...Alex was my partner in crime in nearly all my misadventures throughout HS...and beyond.
Eli Hartley
Best Man
Jake's younger brother! You'll find Eli strumming a guitar by the fire or on the dance floor.
Becca Aungst
Maid of Honor
Becca and I grew up together in East Aurora, I followed her to SUNY Cortland for college then she followed me to Alaska! We had amazing adventures during the 4 years we lived together in Anchorage.
Macie Stevens
Groomsman
Jake's oldest friend who Jake says "had flaming red hair down his back the first time we met when we were 5."
Lexy Cardwell
Bridesmaid
Lexy has been there since the very beginning of Jake and I's relationship. Like from the moment we met (when Jake impressed me by riding a mechanical bull) to when we bought our home through today. She's our ride or die. Sarge's favorite.
Dr. Corey Ambrose
Groomsman
Annie and Jake's sometimes roommate. Sarge's Godfather.
Taylor Niceforo
Bridesmaid
Taylor is a part of my "per sempre" group from East Aurora. She's the hostess with the mostess and has been a part of some of my most favorite trips and memories! Taylor is the LIFE of the party...seriously. She's the best hype woman, coordinator and has the best hair east of the rockies.
Elias Holt
Groomsman
another survivor of Talkeetna. Hunting and skiing guide. Might be on crutches at this wedding.
Emily Thompson
Bridesmaid
EMILY is the most fun, her and I first met while serving at F St Station but became fast friends working at lululemon. Emily is my work out partner, captain of the ship and works as a Firefighter for AFD.
Matt Farina
Groomsman
yep, a friend from Talkeetna. Dare devil. Debater. Annie met Matt 2 years before meeting Jake, teaching snowboarding lessons at Alyeska!
Erin O'Donnell
Bridesmaid
Per Sempre for life. Erin O is a traveler, always down to stay out late and find the next yummy drink or great bar to dance in! Can tell you all about the mechanics of speaking and swallowing. Also always down for a shot of tequila...but will NOT chug a beer. Seriously, don't even ask.
Mikey Rauchenstein
Groomsman
Talkeetna. Beat Cancer. Twice. Will genuinely talk to anyone and everyone.
Haley Johnston
Bridesmaid
Haley and I met my very first hour of being in Alaska. We were both assistant guides at the same company and had an incredible first summer in Alaska, which led to us deciding to move to Anchorage! Yes, Haley is the person who sprayed me with Bear Spray. Yes, it's a miracle we are both still here after the shenanigans of our first year in Alaska.
Jake Graupman
Groomsman
Jake's buddy from Talkeetna!
Dr. Lillian Brennan
Bridesmaid
Lily, a hometown homie and member of Per Sempre, is a spicy one. She'll likely be the last one the dance floor! She was the first person to visit me in Alaska....and we both went to Chilkoot Charlies for the first time together.
Dylan Figley
Groomsman
Amateur chef. Professional fisherman. 100% stud.
Emily O'Connor
Bridesmaid
Another Per Sempre friend! Emily is the most loyal and loving person, she's also a talented artist....look for her work at the wedding!
Jacob Mannix
Groomsman
you guessed it...Talkeetna friend!
Carlee D'Rienzo
Bridesmaid
affectionately referred to as "Carl", we used to pass notes in Social Studies, play a game every home room when I'd guess her perfume. Carlee is arguably the best driver of our Per Sempre group.
Jesse Kolbeck
Groomsman
Veteran. Dad of 2 adorably rowdy boys. Has been told not to ride his dirt bike while in his suit.
Ashley Bennett
Bridesmaid
One of my oldest friends in Alaska, we met when we were 21 and it's been nothing but wild adventures, puppies and fun since!
DJ Casagranda
