Wedding Party
Lillie Elswick
Maid of Honor
Lillie and Jessie have known each other for just about 10 years! Their friendship goes back to High School at Eastern Tech where they never had classes together but got super close through the Drama program and musicals. Lillie braved living with the couple for 2 1/2 years as well and honestly Jessie doesn’t know what she would do without her.
Tim Fleischmann
Best Man
Tim is Thomas’s older brother, or “brudder” as he calls him. They’re very close, and he has supported Thomas throughout his life as well as has made Jessie feel like part of the family from the start. Thomas couldn’t imagine having anyone else beside him on his big day…ya know besides his future wife !
Megan Fleischmann
Bridesmaid
Megan, or Meggy, is Thomas’s sister in law and the sister Jessie got to choose. Same as Tim, Meggy has always supported Thomas as well as welcomed Jessie into the family. Meggy and Jessie frequently like to bond while baking together and experimenting with recipes.
David Gum
Groomsman
Thomas met David through working at Harbor Freight where David mentored Thomas and helped him moved up within the company. They became close friends in that time and even though they no longer work in the same store they still game together and recently went to the Ravens Playoff game together.
Jacki Hill
Bridesmaid
Jacki is Jessie’s older sister, or “Seeeester”. Growing up they were there for each other through rough times and shared a bedroom for 20 years! Recently they got matching Simba tattoos together with butterflies to represent their late mom. As they’ve now both said at their weddings, “I can’t marry my mister without my sister.”
Josh Todd
Groomsman
Josh, A.K.A Taco, has been around in Thomas’s life almost as long as Jessie! They met at Harbor Freight when Thomas first started working at the company around 6 years ago! Even when Thomas stopped working at Harbor Freight briefly they two kept in touch and games together and eventually Josh helped him get back into the job when the time came. Now sometimes they spend “happy hour” Friday evenings at Josh’s house for bonfire and fun!
Julie Friskey
Bridesmaid
Julie is Jessie’s Sister in law, so basically a bonus older sister! There’s not really a time that Jessie remembers before Julie being around and they have many family vacation memories over the years as they always end up sitting next to each other at dinners! She’s always been there for her to give advice or just listen to her rants which is greatly appreciated.
Odin Fleischmann
Flower Dude
Odin is Jessie and Thomas’s youngest nephew and flower dude! He’s always a ball of energy and a joy to the whole family! He’s cute and he knows it, a dangerous combo!
Olivia Fleischmann
Junior Bridesmaid
Olivia, or Kiddo as they call her, is Jessie and Thomas’s oldest niece. Olivia played a key role in the proposal without even knowing that the whole time she was carrying the ring! Her and Thomas also share an interest in Scouts, in fact she told him she’s gonna get more badges than he ever did!
Cecelia Friskey
Junior Bridesmaid
Cecelia is Jessie and Thomas’s niece. She shares Jessie’s love of theater and Thomas’s love of sports! She’s incredibly smart and talented in everything she does and as Jessie’s first niece, she couldn’t imagine not having her stand with her on this day.
Josh Friskey
Ring Security
Josh is Jessie and Thomas’s nephew, also Jessie’s Godson. He, like Odin is also cute and he knows it ! He shares the couples love of video games but will also spend the day outside running around. He’s also quite funny and when asked to be the Ring Security he gave a solid “maybe” as his answer.
