Kaitlin & Josh
Wedding Party
Leigh Anne Albrechta-Smith
Bridesmaid
Leigh Anne and I went to middle school together. We shared the common grounds of having fun all throughout middle school, high school, and college. Leigh left high school to pursue her dream as a ballet dancer. I couldn't have been more proud of her. She has moved around a lot and somehow we've managed to stay in contact throughout both of our busy lives. She too is getting married and I look forward to embarking this new chapter together!
Kyle Diemer
Groomsman
Kyle and I have known each other forever. Pretty much since he showed up and started stealing my thunder way back in history class in high school. We started hanging out and playing video games. We were room mates in college. We went to class, but also had to show others how much better we were at Xbox. He also did a short stint as a maintenance guy at the hotel. Just ask him how to hang a headboard. It'll be great. We continued our relationship even after he packed up everything he owned into a crappy Cavalier and moved to Chicago. We've been through a lot and he was the first person that I wanted to stand up there with me when I get married.
Lesley Longstreth
Bridesmaid
Lesley and I became friends during our first Summer on Put-in-Bay island. We worked hard and realized we both shared a love for travel. The rest is history. We have been all over the world together from Thailand to Greece to Bali to Japan and recently, Poland and Croatia. (And thats only to name a few!) I couldn't be more proud to have her by my side, on a beach again!
Cory Farley
Flower Girl
So Cory and I met when I had a band cancel on me at the last minute. Some phone calls were made and someone got in touch with his booking agent and said he needed to high tail it to Put-in-Bay. So he did and that was 5 years ago and he has been playing on the island 4 or 5 weekends every summer. We became fast friends and it's more than just some dude from Nashville coming up to play a gig at my bar. Cory is a stand up guy who is genuine, dependable and super down to Earth. I am honored to have him as the flower girl at my wedding.
