Wedding Party
Cat Schultz
Officiant
Cat, walking into the wine shop that night 9 years ago was the best decision I have made until this one. You have been such an incredible friend, an emptier of wine bottles, a shoulder to cry on, and a family when I needed one. I love you so much. I value every moment with you, and I hope you know how much you mean to us both. Cheers to you, weird fox friend.
Paula Durbin
Flower Girl
Paula, we have been friends for an incredible 28 years, and while our lives have taken us to varying places across the United States, we always seem to find our way back together. I am endlessly impressed with your ability to dive in and try new things, you really embrace living life to the absolute fullest. I am so very lucky to have you here today, and even luckier to call you friend.
Daniel Griffin
Bridesman
Dan is such an important part of our lives. He always brings a positive outlook, and it is impossible to not have a great time whenever he is around. Dan, thank you for being such an incredible addition to our lives. We honestly cannot even remember what life was like before we had you in it, and we wouldn't want to! You mean the absolute world to us both. Thank you for joining us on our biggest day. We love you!
Jeff Blake
Man of Honor
Jeff, you are such an important part of my life. More than a brother, you are my hero and my absolute best friend. I am so grateful to have you in my life. I cannot imagine anyone more encouraging and supportive to stand next to me on this important day. Thank you for always being there for me, you mean the world to me.
Allen "Noodle" Organ

You are the best brother-in-law anyone could ever ask for. You always keep me laughing and I am so very lucky to have you. Thank you for supporting without question, and always adding a laugh to any situation. Thank you for being here with us today.
Chrissy "Squishy" Simala

Squishy, we been friends (and former roommates) for 22 years now! Whether we are army rolling, concert going, day drinking, pushing our shared love of St. Patricks day onto all of our friends, or traveling, we always have the MOST fun. You are the bright spot in every day. Thank you for standing next to me today.
Crystal (Criss) DelVecchio
Bridesmaid
It has been 32 years since we first met at our school bus stop on my first day of school in Miamisburg. I think a lot about how lucky I was to be at that stop because it brought me to you! You are kind, supportive, FIERCLY loyal, and just an all-around very good caterpillar. I love you to much farther places than the moon. Roundtrip. Thank you for being here.
Natasha Ames

Tasha, I have never known life without you. Thank you for being my hero, my protector, and my support system since the beginning. You’ve been my A-1 since day 1! I’m so blessed to call you my sister and my friend. There’s nobody I’d rather have beside me on our special day! I’m so proud to show you this love I have found!
Emily Powell
Bridesmaid
Emily, though we were family at birth, the universe decided to make us siblings! I’ve always looked up to you for many reasons, but your strength and resilience have always astonished me. Thank you for showing me how to make it through even the toughest of times. I couldn’t be happier to have you in my life and to have you by my side on our big day!
Jacob Coffman
Bridesman
Jake, you’ve been such a great friend to me. Your endless positivity and upbeat attitude are a constant inspiration! You are such a joy to be around. I’m so grateful that we ran into each other at a bar all those years ago. I’m proud of us for how much we’ve grown together and support each other. Thank you for always being there for me and for standing by me on the most special day!
Julie Whitney-Rawls
Ring Bearer
It would be impossible to describe what Julie means to both of us. A light in the darkest times. Julie always has a joke, a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on depending on the need. Endlessly selfless and kind, just an absolute gem of a human. We are both so honored to have you with us today and every day. PUT IT ON A SHIRT.
