Wedding Party
Reese McMahon
Maid of Honor
As Jordan’s younger sister and Maid of Honor, Reese has known her for quite literally her entire life. Some of her favorite memories aren’t tied to a single moment, but rather the little things—like singing along to Eric Church’s Springsteen on the way to summer camps, a song that will always remind her of Jordan. She describes her sister as strong, admirable, and devoted, and compares their relationship to Ramona and Beezus—a fitting reflection of the lifelong bond they share. Reese is a rising sophomore at Miami University studying Kinesiology and Nutrition, where she also plays on the women’s hockey team. When she’s not on the ice, she loves Pilates and Diet Coke, and proudly considers Jordan her “Big Sister General” (part sister, part boss). She admits she’s pretty much an open book and will tell anyone anything if they ask. Reese is most excited for the open bar, fully expects to be the one crying on the wedding day, and will likely be sipping on a cherry vodka Sprite. Her wedding advice? For Blake: don’t tell Jordan no. For Jordan: be nice to Blake. And for both of them: if you’re going to argue, at least send voice memos so there’s evidence for the memories later.
Carly McMahon
Bridesmaid
Carly is Jordan’s younger sister, which means she has truly been by her side through every stage of life. One of Carly’s favorite memories of them together is seeing The 1975 at Madison Square Garden , 24 hours we’ll never forget. She describes Jordan as driven, compassionate, and generous, which is very kind of a little sister to say. These days she’s in college (her official review of it: “eww”), and when she’s not busy with school, she loves going to the movies. If she had to describe our friendship as a TV show, she says it would be Good Luck Charlie, which honestly feels pretty accurate. She’s also convinced Jordan will be the first one crying on the wedding day and she’s probably right. On a night out you’ll most likely find her with a Coke in hand, and the best marriage advice she gave me was to always try to be the partner who gives 60%.
Jenna Jones
Bridesmaid
Jenna and Jordan’s friendship started in a modern way—through social media, where they connected through mutual friends before ever meeting in person. Their first hangout was a Fall Out Boy concert, and from that moment on, their bond only continued to grow—now 12 years later, they’re as close as ever. Some of Jenna’s favorite memories are the simple, meaningful ones: making the drive just to spend a day together, resetting and “just being,” often ending with at least one of them getting a new tattoo. She describes Jordan as loyal, hilarious, and thoughtful, and compares their friendship to One Tree Hill—full of different seasons, a little bit of drama, but always rooted in showing up for each other no matter what. Jenna is a stay-at-home mom to her two daughters, and in her spare time she enjoys reading, singing, and recently getting into puzzles. A fun surprise? Despite loving to sing, she’s never actually done karaoke. She’s most excited to watch her best friend marry her person and celebrate all night long, fully expects to be the one crying, and will definitely have a tequila in hand. Her advice is heartfelt: keep learning each other, give grace through growth, and always continue showing up for one another.
Lexi Herrington
Bridesmaid
Jordan and Lexi’s friendship started in a unique way—when Jordan hired Lexi as her personal trainer—but from their very first conversation, Lexi knew it would turn into something much more. Since then, their bond has only grown stronger, with unforgettable memories like seeing The 1975 together in Atlanta. Lexi describes Jordan as creative, ambitious, and incredibly dependable, and sees their friendship as two women building something amazing side by side. Lexi is an artist who runs her own home décor business, bringing creativity into everything she does. She also has a couple fun facts—she can touch her tongue to her nose and has a birthmark in her left eye. She’s most excited to see Jordan in her wedding dress, fully expects to be the one crying on the big day, and will likely have a Dirty Shirley Temple in hand. Her advice is simple and meaningful: always be on the same team.
Megan Webb
Bridesmaid
Megan and Jordan met through a mutual friend, where many great friendships begin. One of Megan’s favorite memories of the two of them is running through the streets of NYC together (which says a lot about Jordans commitment level!), and their friendship can best be described as Sex and the City — different personalities, different strengths, endless laughs, and always showing up for each other. Megan is basically a Canva queen who can create just about anything and she’s also the proud mom to the cutest cat on the planet, Blair. Fun fact: she drives a bright green car, so subtlety is not her thing. On a night out, you’ll find her with a glass of red wine or a dirty martini with Tito’s in hand. She claims neither of us will cry first on the wedding day (we’ll see about that), but she did leave me with one very important piece of marriage advice: the wife is always right.
Sheridan Bradberry
Bridesmaid
Sheridan and Jordan met on October 3rd, 2022 at a Bronze Boss onboarding event—one of those seemingly ordinary days that quickly turned into something unforgettable. From the start, they clicked effortlessly, bonding over spray tanning, Paramore, and The 1975, and it didn’t take long for Sheridan to know Jordan would become one of her favorite people. Their friendship has been filled with incredible memories, from trips across the country to a standout moment in Austin, sitting side by side decoding every lyric of The Tortured Poets Department album—laughing, overanalyzing, and fully in their element. Sheridan describes Jordan as vibrant, genuine, and witty, and likens their friendship to Sex and the City meets The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants—stylish, supportive, and deeply connected no matter the distance. She currently manages a spray tan studio in Austin, works alongside Jordan with Bronze Boss, and recently launched her own sunless product line, Vitre. When she’s not working, she loves reading and traveling to new cities, with a dream of eventually moving to the East Coast. She’s most excited to celebrate Jordan and Blake’s beautiful connection, reunite with loved ones, and soak in the incredible energy of the day—something she’s sure will be a “10000/10” experience. Sheridan fully expects Jordan to be the one crying, will likely have a vodka water with lemon or a glass of wine in hand, and offers heartfelt advice: always be honest and always love your hardest.
Summer Noss
Bridesmaid
Summer and Jordan met through mutual friends, but it didn’t take long for their connection to become something truly special. While you might expect their favorite memory to be the Taylor Swift concert in Cincinnati, Summer actually cherishes getting ready together for a Taylor Swift Dance Night in Cleveland—a moment that perfectly captures their shared love of music and fun. She describes Jordan as strong, ambitious, and kind, and compares their friendship to New Girl—a later-in-life bond that quickly became essential. Summer is a mom of two and works in insurance with State Farm, balancing life with a love for reading, singing, and music (all while embracing being a little messy and always tired). A surprising fact? She’s severely allergic to guinea pigs—hospital-level allergic. She’s most excited for the wedding playlist, fully expects to be the one crying on the big day, and will likely have a vodka soda with lime and cherry in hand. Her advice to Jordan is a meaningful reminder: to hold onto the love and excitement felt during this season, even after the big milestones pass.
Morgan Silva
Bridesmaid
Morgan and Jordan met through Blake, and what started as a connection through him quickly grew into a friendship of their own. One of Morgan’s favorite memories is simple but meaningful—sitting in her garage, talking for hours and “yapping” the night away. She describes Jordan as kind, fun, and feminine, and compares their friendship to New Girl—easy, lighthearted, and full of laughter. Morgan is a full-time ICU nurse and a part-time sourdough enthusiast, and when she’s not working, you can usually find her reading or spending time with her kids. A fun fact about her is that she makes her bed immediately every morning without fail. She’s most excited to celebrate and party on the big day, fully expects Jordan to be the one shedding tears, and will likely be enjoying a Tito’s and cranberry or a spiked iced tea. Her advice is simple but meaningful: communicate, even when it’s hard—because open and honest communication makes everything better.
Ryan Stead
Best Man
Ryan is Blake’s longest friend, which continues to endure even across the Atlantic Ocean as he now lives in England with his lovely partner Chloe. Living just down the street as kids, these two spent their time together playing sports, building legos, and running around town. Currently, living halfway across the world doesn’t allow them to see each other nearly as much, but whenever they get back together or hop on a call, it’s like no time has passed and they never skip a beat. They have been through it all together and know each other like the back of their own hand, having supported each other through good and hard times and always being there for one another. They even promised from a young age that they would be each other’s best man whenever they get married, and now the time has come. Blake considers himself lucky to have found a lifelong friend and brother like Ryan. Ryan’s probably drinking a glass of red wine and his advice is to just foster and keep the love Blake and Jordan already have because it’s clear to him that they are perfectly suited for each other, with Blake obviously punching above his weight.
Andy Stead
Groomsman
Andy is the little brother of the Best Man, Ryan, and Blake has always considered him as his own little brother. When Blake and Ryan were together, you could always count on Andy being there with them. Andy and Blake have always had a special bond, typically getting into deep talks about anything and everything and always being there for one another and sharing advice. Although he’s lived in various places like Columbus, Texas, and now even England, these two have always kept in close connection, constantly and consistently FaceTiming and talking for hours on end. Andy will likely have a whiskey in hand and he’s said that Jordan has brought out the best version of Blake and to just continue to be himself as the love is clearly there.
Brennan Stanford
Groomsman
Brennan is Blake’s oldest brother and someone he has always looked up to. His determination, drive, and hard work ethic has always inspired Blake to match that energy and strive to be the best he can be in every facet of his life. Brennan has spent his years building his bartending business—Premier Pour Bartending—and is constantly networking and building his relationships around the area. He seems to know everyone somehow. But as hard as Brennan works, he also understands how to play. Brennan loves to travel, constantly looking for his next opportunity to hop into a hot air balloon, cruise on a sailboat, get in a helicopter, enjoy a concert, or whatever else comes his way. Brennan has a million stories about the places he’s been and the people he’s met, and his next adventure is always right around the corner. Brennan’s will likely be enjoying an old fashioned or something else with tequila in it, and his advice to Blake is to not mess this up, because the family really really likes this one.
Connor Stanford
Groomsman
Connor and Blake are brothers a year-and-a-half apart in age and have always been by each other’s side through thick and thin. They’ve been teammates through life and have always had a close-knit relationship. They grew up playing the same sports, listening to the same music, and always allowing each other to be themselves with each other. To this day, they still golf and play hockey together, go to concerts frequently, and even work together. They grew up each other’s best friend and it has never wavered. These two talk on the daily and know each other better than anyone else. You’ll likely find Connor with a Miller Lite in hand and his advice to the couple is simple: keep on keepin’ on. He sees Jordan and Blake as best friends who have continued to grow and evolve with each other. He thinks Jordan and Blake have built something special and cannot wait for Jordan to be a Stanford.
Taylor Stanford
Groomsman
Taylor is Blake’s second-oldest brother and has always supported Blake in ways that can’t be measured, and Taylor would likely say the same about Blake. Whether it’s through deep talks, hard laughs, singing songs, or simply showing up when the other calls, these two have ridden the ups and downs thrown their way together. Although they are four years apart, they’ve always had a close relationship and have always resonated with each other, even recently being called twins. Their love of sports, video games, and music has always been present in their lives and continues to be a foundation for them all these years later. Taylor will likely have a Jameson and ginger-ale in hand, and his advice is to continue to be open, honest, and supportive of one another.
Alex Hinz
Groomsman
Alex and Blake met in high school, spending time playing music, long-boarding, and canoeing on the river together. Their friendship has continued to grow throughout the years, and you can typically find them competing in everything they do. Whether it’s board game night, golf, pickleball, squash, disc golf, video games, you name it, these two love teaming up or going head-to-head. Alex has always been a loyal, dependable, and trustworthy friend, and Blake has always admired the way he treats the people he holds dear and how he always shows up for you. Alex will likely have a Coors Light in hand, and as a newly engaged man himself, his advice is to always put your wife first.
Tom Silva
Groomsman
Tom and Blake met in high school through mutual friends, and Blake has now become Uncle Blake to his two kids. Their shared love of music, watching/playing sports, Star Wars, board games, and Millers Lite have kept their friendship strong. Tom has always done an amazing job of making time for his friends even with his busy life, and since Blake’s Best Man resides in England, he even stepped up to plan yet another bachelor party for Blake. He’s been the Best Man in multiple weddings, which simply speaks to how good of a friend he is and the deep relationships he builds. Tom will likely have a whiskey followed by a Miller Lite, and his advice is to always communicate openly and honestly.
Dale Noss
Groomsman
Dale and Blake met through mutual friends and have gotten closer and closer throughout the years. Dale has said that Jordan has brought out the best in Blake and he’s never been more proud of who he’s become as a partner and a friend since Jordan came into his life. Dale and Blake have a mutual love of sports and competition with one another, playing golf, fantasy football, video games, yard games, and the like, and they always do it while laughing and chirping each other. Dale will likely have a Busch latte or Coors Light on the wedding night, and his advice is to never go to bed angry with one another and if you have an issue speak on it—marriage is a partnership with your best friend and in the end, love will prevail.
