Hi, I'm Jackson (he/him), and I am the groom! I just recently graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Social Work. In my spare time (if I manage to find any), I love playing D&D, videogames, and hiking with Lexi and our dog, Georgie. Thank you all for being a part of our special day!
Erin Keller
Maid of Honor
"Hello I’m Erin (she/they)! I’ve been slowly collecting Odles like Pokémon cards and forcing them to be my best friends. I’m a full time rental photographer and in my spare time a portrait photographer. I currently live with Lexi, Jack, and Georgie and they are the best roomies a girl could as for. As the maid of honor I will be carrying around a bottle of red wine for the wedding and during the party will be drinking it. I’m so very excited and feel so very thankful that I could be part of their special day!"
Ryan Beam
Best Man
(he/him) "Friend of Lexi for 2 years and Jackson for several more. BEST friend to their dog, Georgie. Future roommate to Erin Keller. Single, but terrified of connection. I roll well in Dungeons & Dragons and can replace a trampoline in half the time it’ll take them to say 'I do'."
Rylee Odle
The Court
"My name is Rylee Reagan Odle and I’m Lexi's favorite sister. I’m funny, charming, and beautiful! On a real note, I love Lexi and I'm so happy she chose me to be up there with her. I am currently studying to be a high school history teacher at Butler University. A few favorites of mine are that my favorite movie is Good Will Hunting, my favorite food is sushi, and my favorite artificial flavor is grape! I love Lexi and Jackson (I guess🙄), and I am very excited and thankful to be chosen as a part of her big day!"
McKenzie Odle
The Court
"I am the middleist sister of the bride and long time friend of the groom. I am currently at IU studying Secondary English Education and Theatre Education. I stand by my partner, Cory Schmitt, of over 2 years. I absolutely love playing board games (so I can kick the bride’s butt in at least something) and my favorite Board Game is Villainous! Cheers to the bride and groom and I can’t wait to see them officially tie the knot!"

Tessa Gibbons
The Court
"My name is Tessa Gibbons (they/them, she/her) and I’m friends with both Jackson and Lexi! I’m completely honored to see two of my greatest friends tie the knot, seriously I love both of them to bits. I’m currently a cosmetologist and makeup artist of 5 years, and absolutely adore the theatre (which is how I met Jackson and Lexi!). Some fun facts: besides doing beauty makeup I’m also a special effects makeup artist and work at a haunted house during the fall, I could live off of pasta if it were possible, and despite the three shows Jackson and I have been in together none of our characters have ever spoken a word to each other (what’s with that?!). I can’t wait to see Jackson and Lexi on their greatest adventure yet and am so happy to be a part of their big day! Cheers!"
Jacob Spencer
The Court
(he/they) “I’ve had the unparalleled privilege of knowing Lexi and Jackson for seven years- since we were young, impressionable, and tiny children of ages 15-ish. So when they told me they’d gotten engaged my first thought was, “ew that’s gross,” but then I realized that they’re actually doing this at a perfectly normal age and had an existential crisis. This wedding has made me realize that I am old and my life is now ruined. Anyways, I love them both very much and the wedding is gonna be lit.”
Jordan Carpenter
The Court
"Hey there👋🏼 My name’s Jordan and I am currently a student at SCAD in the beautiful Savannah, Georgia. I am over the moon excited to be able to honor the love between these two extraordinary humans. One of my favorite Lexi and Jackson moments takes place way back in 2018, at a Friendsgiving at the Odle’s house. That day, Jackson first shared with me that he was confident he had found the person he was meant to spend forever with. He asked if I would be a “groomsman” when the day came and I am just as excited today as I was that day to be able to celebrate alongside them both!"
