Best Man
Ryan is known as a lot of things, but he is known to the groom as roommate, lifesaver, and best friend. After meeting at Mount Union preview, the lore of Ryan and Zach had only begun. From Alliance to Willoughby to Wickliffe with countless rounds of golf, soccer games, and opportunities for Ryan to save Zach's life, Ryan was always meant to be by Zach's side. Thankfully he can now pass the responsibility of Zach off to the bride, Lauren.
Maid of Honor
Meet our Maid of Honor, the bride’s younger sister. Known for her famously loud laugh (you’ll definitely hear it before you see her), she brings the energy, the honesty, and the heart. Lindsey even has a dedicated photo album full of embarrassing pictures of the groom that she’s carefully collected over the years. Cheers to the Maid of Honor who keeps life fun and the espresso martinis flowing!
Groomsman
Brother in law to Zach (more like brother), Mike may or may not be Zach's favorite part of his sister's wedding. Mike and Zach have been close since their first meeting. Bonding through Friday golf days, golf trips, indoor golf, or really anything golf, these two are truly closer than just in-laws. Look out for Mike to be singing Kenny Chesney, being the best dad to Maverick and Maci, sitting in the break room of the IPD, or making pickles and onion honey.
Bridesmaid
It’s no surprise that Lauren chose her best friend and lifelong partner-in-crime to stand by her side. Olivia is always down to have a good time and brings the energy everywhere she goes. She is the keeper of countless shared stories and inside jokes. The big day wouldn’t be complete without her.
Groomsman
What does a squat rack, carrots with a Busch Light, and a deer stand 2 miles into the woods (where the groom may need to rescue him) have in common? They are all John magnets. Though John has a lot of great qualities, his biggest flaw is being an avid supporter of the team up north... please forgive him as he has taken a few too many hits on the gridiron.
Bridesmaid
Meet Katie, the bride’s closest cousin. Katie may be 40, but that doesn’t stop her from getting after it. Her favorite thing to do is blast the music in her minivan after she drops the kids off at school. Without Katie, Lauren would have hideous eyebrows and no fun on family vacations.
Groomsman
Once a college football National Champion, now a weekend golf pro (results vary), Adam is the guy you want around. Need a couch moved or a bubble craps machine raided, Adam is your guy. He is as accountable and loyal as his beer fridge stocked. His dog Remi thinks he is the greatest guy out there and honestly, we agree.
Bridesmaid
Meet Alyssa, the bride's work bestie. In exchange for ridiculous work stories, Alyssa is also the best source for wedding advice and planning tips. Alyssa can be found in her personal nail studio, pampering her dog Rocky, or planning the next get together she's hosting.
Groomsman
Dog Dad to Nash, Oktoberfest enthusiast, and German club frequent, Nick is lowkey until the music starts pumping and the silly juice starts flowing. Nick will be leaving very shortly after our big day to go find the largest stein he can in Munich at Oktoberfest. We are aware he may already be there mentally.
Bridesmaid
Marisa, Zach’s oldest sister, can be found making last-minute changes to her fantasy football team that somehow always work in her favor. If she’s not watching sports, Master of Disguise, or midget videos, she's spoiling her adorable son, Maverick, and dog Maci.
Groomsman
Potentially named after an Irish red beer, of which he would tell you not to try, Killian can be found on a golf course driving the ball a mile or watching the Ohio State basketball team. The guy you go to for great one-liners, great conversation, or March Madness. An unforgettable guy with his own flavor on life. This might be the one time where he is okay not wearing his red, white, and blue suit.
Bridesmaid
Megan, Zach’s youngest sister, is also the best source of medical advice. When she's not eating milk oats she's probably cleaning the house or rearranging her stepdad’s bourbon collection. Megan also enjoys cooking up a recipe even TikTok would be proud of!
Officiant
Jack is not just the guy making this whole day official - he is a bourbon savant, USA's biggest fan, the ultimate lifeguard, and a world traveler with a passport an airline pilot would be impressed with. From working at the rec center with Lauren, and getting to know Zach throughout the years, he was always the perfect guy to unite these two for eternity under God and the State of Ohio.
