Hannah & Andrew
Wedding Party
Hannah Richardson
Bride
Hannah is the most wonderful person in the world!!! (fact) She is a lover of Jesus, alternative rock music, great coffee, and is a wonderful plant momma. She has the biggest heart, which is shocking to Andrew because of how small of a human Hannah is! One of her many super powers is her ability to become friends with strangers at an expedient rate, which is an indication of the love and care that all people experience when they get to know Hannah. She has the world's best memory (in Andrew's un-biased opinion) and uses it to remember the smallest details of someone's life, as well as quote her favorite Office line at the perfect time. She is loving, hilarious, kind, beautiful, and a light of Jesus to the world. I love you Hannah!
Andrew Miura
Groom
HANNAH STILL CAN'T BELIEVE SHE GETS TO MARRY THIS MAN! Andrew is a coffee connoisseur, a devoted follower of Jesus, and a very tall man (though not necessarily in that order). Hannah often muses that Andrew has the most interesting hobbies - he grows microgreens and brews kombucha, loves woodworking, and is an avid fly-fisherman. Hannah noticed as soon as she met him that he was what she would (and did) describe as her "dream guy." Now all these years later, she can't believe that she is in fact marrying her dream guy. Andrew is hilarious (even when he overuses one of his jokes), tender-hearted, and adventurous. He pushes Hannah out of her comfort zone and yet is always a safe place for her when the world feels especially scary. Andrew, I love you, and I can't wait to be your wife!
Morgan McQueen
Maid of Honor
Besties forever and roommates for now, Morgan is a part of H2O's residency program with Hannah; they first met at their orientation in January of 2020, and bonded when they had to host a scavenger hunt giveaway for students on campus. While they started their time in the residency as total strangers, they have now become the dearest of friends in the past two years. They often joke that they are only friends because of Jesus - their hobbies, taste in music, and sleeping schedules are just a few of the things that make them so different. Morgan has also been voted most likely to show you pictures of her dog, Honey (who is the cutest, so Morgan can totally get away with it.)
Austen Browne
Best Man
Austen and Andrew have been best friends since 6th grade. Despite living in different places for almost their whole lives, they have gone on countless trips together to Brazil, Hawaii, and all over the US, and shows how strong of a friendship they have built over the years. Austen recently moved to Nashville, so he and Andrew have been able to spend a lot more time together over the past year. Austen works for TikTok now, so if you see him at the wedding make sure to ask him to do his favorite TikTok dance.
Emily Richardson
Bridesmaid
Lover of hoop earrings, has eternal dibs on aux, and always ahead of the fashion trends: Emily is Hannah's middle sister, but is often mistaken as the oldest - both for her height and big personality. She's certainly the most likely to keep everyone (including Hannah) in their place and has a 100% chance of speaking her mind and telling you the honest truth. She is hilarious, driven, bold, and not afraid to be herself. Emily is currently a 4th grade English/Language Arts and Social Studies teacher at Little Miami in Cincinnati, OH and graduated from UC in 2021.
Grant Cory
Groomsman
Grant and Andrew became friends in college during their first bible study as freshmen on West Campus team. They've bonded for years over their love for coffee, Brazil, and soil (not really, that's just Grant). Grant is a campus missionary at Ohio State with a passion for sharing the gospel with college students! If you want to have a conversation about coffee, LOTR, anime, or soil, Grant is your guy!
Sarah Richardson
Bridesmaid
World's best dancer, holder of the most nicknames, forever forced to answer medical questions there's no way she would know the answer to: Sarah is the baby and nurse of the Richardson family. One of Hannah's favorite memories is the "covid summer" she and Sarah spent together, beginning each morning with a breakfast and coffee together (and a workout when she could convince Sarah to wake up in time). Sarah is currently studying at Kent State to become a nurse! She is witty, kind, and always fun to be around. Sarah has made it clear multiple times that she'll be the one dragging people onto the dance floor all night at the wedding...you've been warned!
Matthew Johnson
Groomsman
What started as fellow cadets in Ohio State's Army ROTC program eventually turned into teammates, fly fishing buddies, a lifetime friendship for Matt and Andrew. Their most notable memory together would have to be a week they spent fly fishing in Colorado, where they saved their friend Austin's life, dodged a Black Bear on a trail, caught countless fish, and solidified both of their desires to move out west one day. You'll recognize Matt in the bridal party by his fire haircut.
Natalie Kusner
Bridesmaid
Natalie and Hannah first met when Hannah invited Natalie to join a game of tag after "Safety Town" more than twenty years ago. They have been neighbors, class mates, roommates, and best friends since - they even stuck by each other's side through those middle school awkward phases. Natalie is now in school at OSU to become a nurse practitioner! She has some pretty hilarious stories to share about her clinical experiences, so be sure to ask her about some of her favorite memories with her patients!
Dugan McAdams
Groomsman
"The one with the mustache" in the bridal party is Dugan McAdams. Dugan is a Naval Flight Officer student stationed in Pensacola, Florida. His love for the air is only matched by his love for the ocean, and #freshpow. Dugan and Andrew became friends through their church in college, and eventually lifeguarded together in South Walton, Florida. If you need a pilot, a lifeguard, or mustache advice, ask Dugan.
Emily Gilbert
Bridesmaid
Hannah and Emily began as random roommates when Emily transferred to OSU and Hannah made the last-minute decision to come back to campus instead of spend a semester in Washington, D.C. Since then they've lived together for three years (including the heights of covid quarantine) and developed an awesome friendship in the process. Emily is Hannah's thrifting companion, twitter trend educator, and fellow vegan-tarian foodie. She had to the joy(???) of being there for the beginning of Hannah and Andrew's relationship, when Hannah would recount every detail of every interaction to Emily for advice. If that doesn't show how good of a friend Emily is, I don't know what is. Emily is gentle, hilarious, and a faithful friend. All these years later, it's easy to look back and see God being so kind to Hannah in bringing them together as random roommates all that time ago!
Zach Ledford
Groomsman
The kids call him Coach Fire, the rest of us call him Zach, or Ferds, or "Man Jive". Affectionately called Ferds by those who know him best, Ferds and Andrew have been friends since 2014 at Ohio State when Andrew was just a freshman. Being an older, wiser, more experienced Sophomore, Ferds showed Andrew the ropes of college early on and what it truly looked like to be a follower of Jesus. You can find Ferds on the courts, or quoting the most obscure references from your favorite comedy movie.
Karey Ulstad
Bridesmaid
Karey is one of the coolest ladies you will ever meet. I could stop there, but I'll say more. Karey and Hannah were on the same H2O team their junior year, and Hannah commented that Karey looked familiar and suggested they get lunch (Hannah remembers being in a class their freshman year together, and even where they each sat - Karey thinks she's making it all up.) While they share a love of beach walks, coffee, and alternative music, their friendship is build on the foundation of Jesus; Karey was one of Hannah's first Christian friends who showed her what it really looked like to live out your faith. Karey is undoubtedly one of the most impactful women of Hannah's life, and is now living and working in New York City at an infrastructure investing firm (don't ask what that is because we still aren't exactly sure either)
Zach Hounshell
Groomsman
Andrew's first memory of Zach is when he shot multiple 3's in a row on Andrew during a game of pickup basketball. Despite this embarrassing defense by Andrew, the two of them would go on to hike 14ers together in Colorado, work on the same Trail-Building crew, and room together for the better part of their college years. Zach is now married to Olivia, and works as a City-Planner in Dublin, Ohio. He has already won the award for best dance moves at the wedding.
Christine Grooms
Bridesmaid
Hannah and Christine were a part of a student org at Ohio State together, but Hannah's fondest early memory of Christine is when Christine approached her after a meeting one night to give her a tall stack of books on Christian living after she saw a facebook post about Hannah getting baptized that weekend. (As she types this, Hannah is aware of the fact that she still hasn't returned those books...) Over the years, a beautiful friendship has blossomed as we both try to figure out what it looks like to follow Jesus in various stages of our lives. Christine is getting married just two weeks after Andrew and Hannah, and it's been a joy to walk through the exciting (and somewhat stressful) season of engagement with her and her fiance, Kyle!
Daniel Burket
Groomsman
Daniel and Andrew have been friends since their spring break trip to Cocoa Beach in 2015. Daniel is a logistics manager, a world traveler, and a world class friend. Many times Andrew will ask Daniel to hang out, only to find that he is in a different state or country. If you see Dan make sure to ask him what he's planning on going for this Halloween... and then ask him to explain it.
