Hi friends and family! Honored to be apart of Alyssa and Jake’s big day! Alyssa and I met in college at EKU and have been attached at the hip ever since. While I grew up in Northern Kentucky I now reside in Richmond, KY working as a Realtor with my boyfriend, the best doggo, and three cats!

Hi, I'm Zach Curtis! Jake and I became friends in middle school while playing football and continued that relationship to being each other's best man some years later. Whether we were playing sports or going on trips, we've shared countless adventures and made memories that will last a lifetime. I couldn't be happier to toast Jake and Alyssa as they start this incredible journey together. Let's make this wedding one for the books!

Cheers, 
Zach

Jake was one of the first friends I made when I first joined our fraternity and it's been downhill ever since.

I met Jake at the beginning of my freshman year of college and we became buddies pretty quickly. We were apart of the Martin 4th floor group. Went on to be roommates and lived together for 3 years on Manna Drive.
