Wedding Party
Jenna Tomovich
Bride
Joshua Heck
Groom
Ashlyn
Maid of Honor
Ashlyn and I have been friends for 12 years, dating all the way back to freshman year of high school. We have so many fun (sometimes crazy) memories together throughout our high school years, college years, and young adult life. A fun fact about Ashlyn is that we called her "our 4th roommate" in college because even though she didn't go to UD she never missed a party weekend! Other things Ashlyn enjoys are baby Yoda memes, Dunkin iced coffee, chicken nuggets, and a good cocktail. Things I love about Ashlyn include her weirdness, her loyalty, her open mind, her kindness, and the way she always makes me laugh. I am so blessed to have her as my maid of honor.
Rachael
Matron of Honor
Rachael and I have been friends for 12 years starting back in high school. We became best friends sophomore year when we were on the volleyball team together. I can't think of a person in the world nicer than Rachael (really)! Rachael is a friend I know will be in my life forever and I am so grateful for her. A fun fact about Rachael is that she was obsessed with cotton candy in high school to the point where we actually had to cut her off after consuming too much. Things I love about Rachael include her genuine kindness, her love of life, her adventurous personality, her loyalty, and her ability to make anyone happy at any time. Also, I can always count on her to share a bottle of wine with me at dinner (or two)!
Brian Sellers
Best Man
Brian and Josh met when they worked together at the GoDaddy.com offices in Gilbert AZ where they spent 3 years on the same team. They spent most of their free time together, hitting the gym, watching UFC fights, or going on trips to California with Brian’s family. Brian is an Air Force veteran and was an inspiration for Josh to achieve his dream of joining the military and pursuing a career in the intelligence field. Brian lives in Gilbert AZ with his wife Diane and their son Weston.
Maria
Bridesmaid
Maria is someone I have known for 26 years, how you ask? We're first cousins! Maria is that older cousin who you can't help but always admire and look up to. As a kid I always wanted to be just like her and treasured every time we got to hang out together. I still don't think it's fair that she got the tan Italian gene and I didn't, but hey, what can you do? As we got older, we became more like sisters than cousins. Maria is the sister I never had and will always be my role model. I'm so happy that after being a bridesmaid in her wedding in 2016, she will be a bridesmaid in mine in 2024.
Leslie
Bridesmaid
Leslie and I have been friends for 17 years starting in 3rd grade! We went to Pike Creek Christian School together for 6 years, and remained friends through high school and college. A fun fact about Leslie is that teachers used to call her "Tigger" because she always had so much energy. I'm pretty sure Leslie and I played every sport together in middle school and one of my favorite pictures that I have to this day is of us at a 6th grade track meet. Leslie is such a great friend and someone who always has a smile on her face. She has such a great sense of humor and is one of those people you love to have around. I am so happy that Leslie is part of my wedding party and will be by my side at the wedding just like she was at that 6th grade track meet.
Justin Tomovich
Groomsman
Justin is the brother of the bride and will be standing next to Josh as a groomsman on their big day. Justin has gotten to know Josh over the past four and a half years, and finally has the "brother" he always wanted. According to Justin, Jenna finally met someone "normal".
Carly
Bridesmaid
Who would have thought that you could make a best friend at the dog park? Carly and I met in the winter of 2021 at The Mile dog park in Tyson's Corner, VA. Her dog, Scooby, and my dog, Booker, became instant buddies as well. Meeting Carly and her sister, Paige, has been one of the best things to happen in my life after moving to Virginia. Fun fact, I did not see Carly's face until the third time we hung out because of Covid mask requirements! (Love is blind friendship addition) Over the past two and a half years Carly has become one of my best friends and I can't see my life without her or Paige. Some things I love about Carly include her sincerely kind soul, her positive outlook on life, her thoughtfulness, and her ability to make everyone feel welcome. I was one of her bridesmaids and now she's one of mine, and I am so excited!
Joey Ruiz
Groomsman
Joey and Josh met when Josh was a freshman at Northern Arizona University when they both pledged the same fraternity together, Kappa Alpha. They spent their time outside of the classroom road tripping to Las Vegas or Sedona, and worked together on planning events for the fraternity. Josh spent a few winter and summer breaks living with Joey, and some of his best memories are of the two of them in downtown Flagstaff closing down bars like Maloneys and San Felipe’s. Joey is loved by all of Josh’s family, and has even flown to Florida with Josh to visit his Mom. Joey currently lives in Flagstaff Arizona where he works for the University as the Program Manager for Student Affairs and Mentoring.
Paige
Bridesmaid
Meeting Paige and her sister, Carly, was a godsend. After moving to a new state, I couldn't have asked for better friends to have met. Paige is such a sweet and caring person and always thinks of other people before herself. She is truly a person you can rely on and always there to talk and give advice. A fun fact about Paige is that she has an entire pet store in her home: two cats, a dog, and an aquarium! Paige is like me in our love for animals and I am always so impressed at how she takes in animals in need. Some things I love about Paige include her bubbly personality, her willingness to help others, her love of animals, and her kindness.
Samantha
Bridesmaid
Samantha, AKA Sam, is one of those friends that you know you will always have the best time with. Sam is an absolute BOSS, taking on DC and making a successful career for herself. I really admire Sam's work ethic and also her willingness to get out of her comfort zone and try something new. Her father and my mother were friends before we were born, we went to the same high school, same college, our birthdays are just days apart, and now we both live in the same area. I think the universe may have had a hand in making sure we were friends. I can't wait to have Sam as a bridesmaid and for all the fun times ahead!
Cory Heck
Groomsman
Cory is Josh's older, wiser brother. If anyone needs a good story about Josh as a child, Cory is your man. Cory currently works in New York State as a nurse, and has truly been a hero over the Covid pandemic. We are so happy that he is able to attend the wedding and support Josh as a groomsman.
Gia
Flower Girl
Meet Princess Gia, the actual star of the show! Gia is a spunky five-year-old who loves Coco Melon, playing dress up, and having tea parties. Gia is an aspiring performer and loves to sing and dance to her favorite songs. She may be my cousin, but I'm not bias when I say she's destined for broadway! (Or a castle, whichever career path she chooses) I can't wait for Gia to be the best flower girl and to dance the night away at our wedding!
Leo
Ring Bearer
Meet Leo, my handsome cousin and godson! Leo is three-years-old and can already take down a line backer! He enjoys playing with anything he can destroy, practicing his t-ball swing, and most importantly, FOOD. I am so proud of my little (not so little) godson, and can't wait to have him as a ring bearer at my wedding.
Jax
Ring Bearer
My cousin Jax is a six-year-old Jersey boy with a great head of hair and a killer taste in music! Jax is a ball of energy who enjoys all things sports, fishing, singing along to rock classics, and playing with his dog, Juno. Hopefully he won't be taller than me by my wedding because every time I see him he's another foot taller!
Brooke Royden
Flower Girl
Meet baby Brooke, the newest addition to the bridal party. Brooke was born in July of this year and already has been recruited to be a flower girl. Her mom, Carly is a bridesmaid and her auntie Paige is too. Like a true princess, Brooke will be carried down the aisle as a co-flower girl to miss Gia.
