Our Wedding

<p class="ql-align-justify"><strong>We first met at the Governor’s Scholars Program in 2020. As high school sweethearts, our relationship continued to grow. We eventually attended the University of Louisville together: shortening the distance between us from over one hundred miles to one floor in the same dorm. Throughout college our bond grew stronger and stronger. We traveled to Norway and Cuba, explored Louisville's restaurant scene, and started building a life together. We are filled with gratitude and joy as we prepare for the next chapter of our lives and we look forward to celebrating our marriage with those who have supported us along the way.</strong></p>

Our Story

Hey, I’m Payton Redeker! I am Leah’s college roommate (yes all 4 years) and best friend. A fun fact about me is that I have rented a car to Ralph Macchio. And for those who may not know, that is the Karate Kid! I am so excited to see Leah and Jack get married. They were the first people in Kentucky to welcome me into their lives, and I’m so excited for them to start theirs together!

Jack’s roommate of almost four years, pickleball partner, and fellow McConnell Scholar. I met Jack and Leah in the fall of our freshman year at UofL in 2021, and they have since became two of my closest friends. Whether we’re laughing in the kitchen, swapping life advice, or battling it out on the pickleball court, life with Jack & Leah has been nothing short of an adventure. I’m so excited to stand by their side as they start this next chapter together!

Hi, I’m Lily Moseley, Jack’s older sister. Throughout Jack and Leah’s relationship, Leah has truly become like the sister I never had—I can’t wait to make that official! 
I went to the University of Louisville with both Jack and Leah, where I was also a member of the Louisville Ladybirds dance team. These days, I enjoy creating art and exploring fashion design, and I’m currently diving into entrepreneurship within those passions while also teaching dance to the next generation. I’m so excited to celebrate Jack and Leah for this special occasion!

Leah and I first met in the 4th grade when she switched to my elementary school, and I honestly can’t think of a day where we haven’t been friends since. I’m so excited to stand by her side as we’ve thought of this day countless times growing up!

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Gabriel. My friendship with Jack and Leah goes back all the way to high school. While I have known Leah since Elementary school. We all really became close friends in high school. I met Jack through the Kentucky Governor’s Scholars Program. And What started as late-night shenanigans and a lot of very deep conversations about our world. It turned into a friendship that’s carried us around the world.

Since then, Jack and I have hiked Patagonia together, survived long flights across South America, and even made it through nine adventurous days in Cuba with both Jack and Leah. And if there’s one thing you learn about people when you travel, it’s who they really are. You see their patience, their humor, and how they handle the unexpected. Through all of it, I’ve seen Jack and Leah show each other the same things they’ve shown me as a friend: loyalty, kindness, and the ability to laugh even when nothing’s going as planned.

It’s been amazing to see how their relationship has grown from those high school days into the beautiful partnership we’re celebrating tonight. And I can say without a doubt, that after seeing them navigate foreign countries together, marriage will be a breeze

I love to read, watch shows and movies (which Leah, Payton, and I did often), and play kickball! I’ve known Leah since halfway through freshman year when she messaged me on roommate tinder to live with her, and met Jack not too long after!
