Virginia & Simba
Wedding Party
Virginia Mae Kelly
Bride
Hi! I’m Virginia. Most call me Ginny or Gin; I also answer to, doodlebug, vir-Gina (yes we know) or the tall spooky girl with the RBF. Anything Stevie nicks, Mother Nature, Practical Magic or thrift shopping, I’m ya girl. Leddi, Bein and Greyson are my pride and joy. I have a degree in finance but don’t let that fool you, my life is filled with art, music, crystals, sage and adventure… Oh yeah, and Simba
Simba Zahm
Groom
Hey! Simba here, your lion loving, boys || men worshiping, go with the flow sailor. My loves are, Virginia (Although I’m really only marrying her so I can spend more time with her mom…can you blame me?), Greyson, Leddi & Bein. so excited to be able to celebrate with all of you!
Anna Kaetzel
Maid of Honor
Anna is the brides true soul mate (sorry Simba). Anna and Gin have been friends for 12 years, and inseparable for the last 5. Anna is a Pre-K teacher in Fredrick, MD. She spends her days crocheting, nurturing her plants or swimming in the river with her fiancé Grunt 💛
Greyson King
Best Man
Greyson is the son of the Groom. He loves anything paw patrol, Dino’s, swimming and T ball. He has the best mane in the world. Don’t sing baby shark, or he won’t let you stop.
Stephanie Freniere
Maid of Honor
Stephanie is the sister of the bride (regardless of family trees). Steph and Gin hated each other all of second grade, but don’t worry, they soon made up and they’ve been best friends since the 3rd grade. Stephanie teaches 3rd grade in Frederick MD. She is either out adventuring the world with her boyfriend Johnny, jamming out to sublime, taking care of her many cats or drinking wine and painting on her front porch.
Jake Raber
Best Man
Jake (or otherwise stated yo! It’s ya boy Jake) is one hell of a best friend. He’s an EDM rocking, beach surfing, self owned business man. You can find him in PA driving his girlfriend Erika crazy, and loving on his dog Luna. If you were going to kidnap him, luring him in with coconut rum is the way to go.
Aby Dickerson
Bridesmaid
Aby is one hot cop, literally. She and Gin bonded over queso and tequila one night and have yet to stop doing so. Aby is a Law Enforcement Officer in Laurel, MD. She is a lover of all things water (lakes probably take her heart), wine, dogs, books and beer. She is the true embodiment of Carrie Bradshaw herself. (Minus the red flags).
Jack Kelly
Groomsman
Jack Kelly (or JT) is the brother of the bride (we won’t hold that against him). Although he has warned Simba to run many times, it just hasn’t sunk in yet. Jack is an animal loving, classic rock jammin, good ole’ outdoorsman. He also has one of the best laughs you will probably ever hear.
Nina Marteniez
Bridesmaid
Can you say Milf? I mean Nina? Nines and Gin have been close friends ever since Coach Tom made them run their first laps during soccer 10 years ago. She is the mother to a wonderful little boy named Leo. If there’s a beach, a music festival, a margarita night or a random adventure to explore; Nina’s your girl.
Onaja Robinson
Groomsman
Robinson is Simbas fellow sailor, and close buddy. Playing basketball, soccer, running, hanging with Liam or cooking above average tacos are his main hobbies. He doesn’t drink, so we appreciate that he volunteers to baby sit us when we do.
Erika Houser
Bridesmaid
Erika is a Graphic designer from PA. (We don’t like to brag, but she’s also a model and a kick ass photographer) She is the best bunny/dog mom around. We try not to judge her for choosing to love Jake. (We have to). Constantly responsible, and a favorite for going out on the town, or just spending a casual day with the dogs. She’s guaranteed to add sunshine to your life.
Dennis Mitchem
Groomsman
Dennis and Simba go all the way back to college football. Dennis is your true American boy. He loves anything camo, his daughter Sophia and fiancé Megan, his 4 dogs, Jack Daniel’s and Halloween. If you try to beat him in corn hole, you can’t. He’ll light up your life with his amazing firework shows.
Alyssa Davidson
Bridesmaid
Lys and Gin first bonded over their love of all things Glee A in Mrs. LaForce’s 6th grade chorus class. From a lifetime of music, to amazing Italian meals, lake days, motorcycle rides and jeep waves- she can do it all. Alyssa and her husband Seth are the proud dog parents of their baby Caramel. If you can’t find the Davidson’s, it’s probably because they’re watching wicked for the 100th time.
Nicole Kelly
Mother of the Bride
Nicole, otherwise known as Nickel-dippy-snake-shit is Ginny’s mom and best friend. A down to earth, animal loving, Birkenstocks/Converse and overall wearing queen. Her favorite things are daisies, Harry Potter, Star Wars, lady bugs and cows. She’s usually cooking too much wonderful food for the people she cares about, surprising someone with little gifts, crocheting beautiful blankets or playing in the dirt. A bottle of Jim Beam-Fire doesn’t stand a chance.
Thomas Kelly
Father of the Bride
No that’s not Garth Brooks, it’s Ginny’s dad. From soccer coach to life mentor, he does it all. Not to mention he even rocks as a dog dad. His loves (besides his wife and kids) include dogs, Irish whiskey, bourbon and John Denver. He loves playing his guitar/singing around family campfires, hiking with the dogs, canoeing/kayaking, or pretending to be the abominable snowman in the mountains of Maine. He promises to not make you cry too much during his toast.
Caleb Zahm
Officiant
Caleb, or KK, is officiating the ceremony. Caleb is the soon to be dad of baby boy Zahm. In his free time he spends time with his girlfriend Alex and their two cats Kilo and Koda. He’s also the best uncle out there. We are very excited to have him as such a big part in our celebration. Ps. He’s deathly afraid of stop signs.
Grandma Sunshine
Flower Girl
Careful, she will infect you with her happiness. Ginny’s grandma and overall ray of light 💛 , she raises monarch butterflies and sets them free to restore population. She will be blowing everyone away with her flower throwing skill.
Aiden Klatt
Flower Child
Music loving, tattoo rocking sailor and one of Simba’s best friends. You can find him at a music festival, hiking, rocking out in his VW van, or just doing anything outdoors. He promises to wow you with his dance moves.
Cayla and Cooper Zahm
Ushers
The youngest of the Zahm 5, these kiddos are insanely artistic, bright and very unique. They bring the life to the party for sure.
