Rachel & Teddy
Matrimony Homies
Paige Stump
Bride's Homie #1
Paige and Rachel met through a mutual friend for a Browns games after Halloween. Paige was half sober and half of a ladybug and Rachel was not impressed. 10+ years - a mutual friend x multiple adventures = Paige and Rachel (Rage) forever.
C.J. Francies
Groom's Homie #1
C.J. and Ted met while at OSU Newark where they each claim to have schooled one another in the game of pool.
Teresa Ibañez
Bride's Homie #2
Teresa and Rachel met in middle school when Rachel wondered into Teresa's home room and started talking to her and never left her alone until Teresa gave into the friendship (Teresa's version of history, Rachel only remembers Sailor Moon). Their friendship has survived the ebbs and flows of the years, even the time Teresa gave Rachel Mexican candy and though Rachel still believes candy shouldn't be spicy, she is grateful Teresa has always pushed her to grow over the years.
Darian Harrington
Groom's Homie #2
Darian and Ted met when Darian returned from college to find his sister shacking up with some guy. It took him a while but Darian eventually came around to having Ted join the family (I am sensing a theme here).
Sarah O'Halloran
Bride's Homie #3
Sarah and Rachel met through Teresa. In high school, Rachel was convinced that Sarah was stealing her best friend away until Teresa hatched the brilliant to force them to be friends. Little did Teresa know, that friendship would blossom into a beautiful siblingship where Rachel and Sarah devised nicknames for one another and adopted a bull dog named Bubba (for a total of ten minutes). I think ten years later it's time for Teresa to take a bow.
Tom Beck
Groom's Homie #3
Tom and Ted met while working at the Statehouse together. They solidified their friendship by going to the first "Great Summer Smoke Out" together in 2015.
Emilia Louy
Officiant
There is a running joke that Emilia is my wife's (Paige) wife and Ted's girlfriend. We have a chat group with our couple names, Rage and Temelia. We are over joyed that she agreed to be our officiant and can't wait for her to marry us!
