Troy Patterson
Best Man
Not only is he the best man of Jacob, but Troy is also his younger brother. Troy is the most talented young athlete you will ever meet. He’s the kid you want to pass the ball to when there’s five seconds left on the clock in OT, because believe me, he’s sinking that three. From his bordering cocky charismatic personality, to his ability to pull off any outfit. Troy is an amazing young man who Jacob loves with all of his heart, and there’s no one else he’d love to have more as his best man than his baby brother.
Marcus Birkhimer
Groomsman
Marcus is a lifelong friend of Jacob’s, going all the way back to early grade school. He’s full of creatively funny energy and a great person to be around. Marcus has been there for Jacob through thick and thin. The two share a rich past from childhood friendship, to sharing college life together at ZSC, to even living together throughout college. If you can’t find Jacob, he’s probably either going on nerd-runs or playing video games with Marcus.
Keaton Kyser
Groomsman
Keaton is the younger cousin of Jacob. Keaton is probably one of the brightest personalities you will ever meet. He’s always been full of life and is definitely the person you want in your life. He’s someone you can rely on physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Recently, both Jacob and Keaton had both found deeper salvation and the two have been able to share their experiences with their faith, which is something that Jacob has held close to his heart.
Evan Todd
Groomsman
Brother of Bride Evan is a charmer full of life and Cha"rizz"ma, as he'd call it. He is truthful and loyal always. A good kid and friend. Evan always wants to do the right thing. He is amazing at sports and is boldly determined. Confident and collected, Evan is someone you can rely on. A brother of the bride but friend and younger brother figure to the groom. We adore Evan!
Alex Patterson
Groomsman
Alex is the younger cousin of Jacob, but only by a few hours. Alex and Jacob have shared the majority of their youth side by side and have shared a brotherly love throughout it all. Although life, time, and adulthood may have made it hard to connect as much as they did in their youth, there’s no one Jacob would love more to be apart of this day for him than Alex.
Jennifer Todd
Mother of the Bride
Jennifer is the best. She is such a fun person and amazing Mom. Always ready to cook up a good meal or offer a fun idea. She is a loving and wonderful person. Jennifer is always ready for a good time and will always bring out laughs. Lauren's Mom has always meant so much to her. Her support of the couple means so much. We love you!
Adam Todd
Father of the Bride
Adam is fun, adventurous and an amazing father. A lawyer and musician, he truly can do it all! He is always there to tell a good story or offer advice. Adam is a friendly and welcoming person, he makes everyone he meets feel seen. Lauren hopes to be a person who is as just as dependable as her father. He means so much to both of us. We love you!

Heather Patterson
Mother of the Groom
Heather is the mother of Jacob and she was his first best friend. From having each other’s backs throughout social events, to sharing their creativity in various different formats.
