Katelyn Gensler - Maid of Honor
High School Best Friend "Katelyn and I have been friends since Freshman year in high school! We actually met trying out for the same position on the basketball team. Somehow, she got through my competitive nature and we became instant friends! She's been the most loyal friend a girl could ever ask for. She has been there through EVERYTHING with me! When Sam proposed, I couldn't think of anyone else to stand right by me! She's pretty much a sister to me."
Brianna Washington - Bridesmaid
College Roommate"Bri is a girl of many names; B, Bumblebee, BabyB, BriANNA. I met her my sophomore year at Ohio University, as a random roommate, and we quickly became great friends. We continued to live together for the remainder of our college years; I can't imagine it any other way! She is one of the most driven people I know. She's currently in law school at Capital and will one day be a kick butt lawyer! I'm so excited to see what the future has for her."

Morgan Sigrist - Bridesmaid
College Roommate "Mo and I officially met sophomore year at Ohio. We had the same awful History class. Still to this day I remember how much we dreaded attending. It wasn't much longer after, that she became one of Bri's and mine roommate. I will never forget the first night she stayed with us - We still pick on her because of it. She is always a bright spot in your day and will sure to make you laugh."
Phillip Toney - Groomsman

Courtney Miller - Bridesmaid
College Roommate"Courtney entered my world, Junior year. It was our first year out of the dorms and in our own place! She suffers from wanderlust - The summer after graduation, she did her student teaching in New Zealand! I admire her itch for adventure and love chatting about the places we would both love to see. She recently married the love of her life, Austin Miller. It was so much fun going through our engagements together."
Kayla Prater - Bridesmaid
College Friend"I met Kay through Bri and Morgan Junior year. From that night on, she quickly became one of the girls. We spent many weekends together our Junior year, and when she graduated early, she even stayed behind with us one more year so she could have her 'Senior' year with us! She has such a kind heart and gives so much to those she cares about.She's marrying her fiance, Josh Cisco, next year!"
Sean McSheffery - Groomsman
