I am an attorney practicing in the greater Cleveland, Ohio area, and a cousin of the groom, Josh. We have been close friends from the beginning, and grew up sharing many adventures together since childhood. I am excited and grateful to help celebrate with Josh and Jenn as they take this next step on their life's journey together.
Rick Smerglia - Groomsman
Josh and I met way back in high school. We soon discovered that we had many similar interests and could have fun and whimsical conversations together. We take our movie watching experiences very seriously, along with our careful selections of pre-movie dinners. Once upon a time, we even explored part of Europe together – a favorite memory of mine. Josh is a very thoughtful and caring person. He’s helped get me through some tough times and is always there when I need to talk. I couldn’t ask for a better friend.
Scott Hake - Groomsman
I am one of Josh's groomsmen, but I am also the twin of the bride, Jennifer. I am a draftsman, I love working on leather and wood projects, and playing D&D. Josh and I have grown a strong connection through D&D, our fun personalities, and our love for my sister Jennifer!
Adam Holland-Gresock - Groomsman
I am Joshua's little brother. I am a dinosaur, cartoon and animal fanatic. Josh is one of my best friends and it's a big honor to have this role in this big ceremony of Josh and Jenn's life. I'm getting to know Jenn and I think Josh made a good choice with Jenn.
Rachel Smithkey - Maid-Of-Honor
My name is Rachel and I am Jennifer’s maid of honor. I live in Akron OH with my 3 cats Dante, Daisy and Lilly. I work from home as a Corporate Recruiter for an outpatient healthcare company. I met Jennifer when I was in high school around freshmen year. She got me into track & field and softball during that time so I owe my athletic side to her. We’ve been best friends ever since!
Adrianne Bastas - Bridesmaid
I'm Adrianne! I have known Jenn for 6+ years and worked with her for 4. She's become one of my most favorite people in the world and is the best friend to me and Auntie to my daughter Ava. I love to crochet and make things. I'm so excited and happy to be a part of this beautiful day for Jenn and Josh!
Kelsey Baldrige - Bridesmaid
Jennifer and I have known each other since she was born - always "stuck" in the middle between her and her older sister. Although I thought my presence was to keep the peace between sisters, I would not have it any other way. Our memories stem from sharing a queen bed during sleepovers to sharing a long island at the bar. I am honored to stand by her side as she gets her happily ever after! Psst.... there are still no boys allowed in our secret clubhouse.
Katy Major - Bridesmaid
I am quite lucky, having known the incredible person that is Josh since babyhood, growing up alongside him (or, rather, a year behind, as he often reminded me when we were children!). I met Jenn just a short few years ago, but we were fast friends—faster than I ever could have dreamed! Gaining Jenn as a friend has been so special—a blessing. Welcoming her into our family is an honor.
