Jessie and Claudia became friends when they both lived on Manning Road. Claudia was 5 and Jessie was 3. After Jessie’s family moved to Zionsville, Claudia and Jessie continued growing in friendship and are still best friends. Claudia could not be more thankful and lucky to have a friend as amazing and caring as Jessie. They could do just about anything or go anywhere together. Claudia is so excited to have Jessie stand next to her on her big day!

Chelsea is married to Claudia’s brother, Gabe. She has been a part of the Hoffman family since she and Gabe started dating in high school. Claudia and Chelsea have continued to grow closer throughout the years and Chelsea has become a close friend and like a sister to Claudia. Chelsea is a wonderful mother to her son and Claudia’s nephew, Ryne. Claudia and Jasem are so excited to have her as a part of their big day!

Jordan is married to Claudia’s brother, Seth. Claudia actually knew Jordan before Seth did! Jordan was a camp counselor at the camp that Claudia went to as a camper. She and Claudia grew closer after Jordan started dating Seth and became close friends. Claudia considers Jordan one of the sisters she never had. She is a wonderful mother to her son and Claudia’s nephew, Leon. Claudia can’t wait for Jordan to be a part of her and Jasems’ wedding!

Jennah is Jasem’s sister. Jennah lived in Austin, TX for the beginning of Claudia and Jasem’s relationship, so they didn’t meet until she was pregnant with her son Arlan and was visiting Indiana. Claudia was nervous to meet Jennah because of how much she wanted Jennah to like her! It is a running joke between them now. Since then, Claudia and Jennah have grown very close and Claudia considers Jennah a sister. They love to drink wine, do crafts, and laugh together. Claudia is so grateful Jennah came into her life. Jasem and she are so excited to have Jennah be a part of their wedding!

April and Claudia were introduced to one another (officially) through Jordan- Seth’s wife. However, April was also a counselor at the summer camp Claudia attended as a camper. Claudia never expected to grow as close to April as she has. April is practically a Hoffman. She has been a part of the family ever since she started coming around! She is a wonderful person who would help a perfect stranger at the drop of a hat. Claudia is honored to have her in her wedding party!

Jasem and Rakan have come a long way in their brotherhood/friendship. From Rakan torturing Jasem to “toughen him up” in their childhood days, to going fishing and hunting regularly throughout their adulthood. Rakan has always had a lot of influence over Jasem, as he is Jasem’s only big brother. Rakan has always been someone that Jasem can talk to for advice, and even though Jasem might not take said advice, it means a ton to him. Jasem is thrilled to have his one and only big brother as his best man!

Quickly after meeting at Franklin College, Joey and Jasem became close friends. Throughout the years of their friendship they’ve enjoyed many days of hunting, fishing, and smoking cigars. Jasem is excited to have one of his best friends by his side on Claudia and Jasem’s big day.

Jasem and Gibby met through unconventional methods. After playing video games with each other for several years, he made the trek from Alabama to Indy to meet Jasem and Joey in person for the first time. If you didnt know any better, you would think they were life-long friends!

Gabe and Jasem met shortly after Claudia and Jasem began dating in high school. They got along immediately and since then, have enjoyed many glasses of bourbon, pacers games, and painfully long games of pool together!

Similar to Jasems relationship with Gabe, Seth and Jasem met soon after Claudia and Jasem started dating. It didnt take long before the two were sharing beers, rounds of golf (yikes), and good times together.
