Hello everyone! My name is Juliann, and I have known Jen her whole life, 27 years, because she is my little sissy! I am so honored to be Jen’s Maid on Honor! Growing up, Jen and I had our ups and downs… as sisters do, but we always loved each other and had each other’s backs. Throughout my life I have had people come and go, but one person has always remained constant and that is my built in forever bestie, my sister, Jen. (Even though she doesn’t really have a choice LOL!) She is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, kind, considerate, funny, and has a heart of gold! Because I have known Jen her whole life, I have been around for it all, that is why I knew something was different when she met Josh. She smiled more than I had ever seen her smile; laughed more than I had ever seen her laugh. The glow that Josh’s love has given her is more than I could ever ask for. I can be a protective older sister, but Josh makes it so easy to love him. He is genuine, kind, funny, and loves my sister the way she deserves to be loved. Who could ask for more! I can’t begin to explain how proud I am of the love that Jen and Josh have found in each other. Being her older sisters has been one of the best roles I have had in my life. We have so many memories together, but standing by her side on her wedding day as her Maid of Honor will be my favorite! I can’t wait to celebrate the new Mr. And Mrs. Schultz!
Kathryn Schultz - Bridesmaid
Hello! I’m Kathryn, Joshua’s baby sister and one of Jen’s bridesmaids. Growing up Joshua always treated me extra special and played many different roles in my life. Whether it was my softball coach, big brother, protector, errand runner, or shoulder to cry on, I mean anything you name it, he has been extraordinary. He is the most loving guy out there whether he knows it or not, if you ever need a good laugh, need advice or need anything at all, Joshua is the guy for you. I believe whole heartedly that Joshua is the most deserving of love. He puts others needs above his own, he will drop anything at any moment to help others. Joshua found someone that matches his energy and compliments him so well. I met Jen in Boone, when they came to visit me one summer while I was in college. I knew from that moment that Jen had the biggest heart when she brought me a gift before even meeting me. Jen has a heart of gold, big personality, loving soul and has shown me what an amazing match she is for my brother. I am so thankful that I get to call Joshua my brother and Jen my sister. I can’t wait to celebrate this new chapter of their lives together. 🤍
Peyton Schultz - Bridesmaid
Hiya! I’m Peyton, Joshua’s younger sister, who has been by his side since he was 17 months old. I can attest that Joshua’s generosity knows no bounds as he graciously left his best genes behind in the womb for me to absorb. Always looking out for my best interest, Joshua recognized my Icarus potential and knew he had to do something. He convinced me that a SpongeBob-like laugh and the ability to quote Napoleon Dynamite would be imperative to my success in life, thus saving me from ever soaring too close to the Sun. I may never be able to repay him for his generosity and guidance, but I am forever grateful for it. While Joshua supplies me with humility, Jen never ceases to be the ultimate hype woman. I knew when I first met Jen that her positivity, enthusiasm, and good heart would perfectly balance Joshua’s outward-facing persona of “Prison Josh.” Jen has embraced our exuberant family with open arms, and I am excited to be gaining Jen as a sister. Congratulations to Joshua and Jen!
Kayla Mathias - Bridesmaid
Hello, my name is Kayla! I met Jen about eight years ago at a volleyball open gym for Cape Fear Community College. I didn’t know her well then but all I could remember was her extremely long blonde hair. lol Little did I know we would end up playing college volleyball & become best friends. We have been through so many things together..good times & bad. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to experience those things with. Well, a few years later Josh came around. I liked him but I always had my guard up when it came to my friends dating. However Josh has been great to Jen & it is always obvious how happy Jen is around him. I always laughed & told them they argued like an old married couple. I’m so happy you both found each other in this crazy world. Love you both!
Brianna Plumhoff - Bridesmaid
Hi everyone, my name is Brianna and I am currently a mental health therapist living in Wilmington, North Carolina. I met Jenn in graduate school at UNCW in the summer of 2022. From the moment her and I met I knew that she would be a lifelong friend. Little did I know that she would mean as much to me as she does. Not only do I consider Jen a friend, but I also consider her a sister. She is kind, intelligent, beautiful and a kickass mental health therapist. I am so beyond honored to stand by her side and get to watch her marry the love of her life. Cheers to Schultz’s!!
Victoria Matlock - Bridesmaid
Hi! My name is Victoria and I met Jennifer when I was too young to remember playing softball. We went to our first concert together for our 10th birthdays, The Cheetah Girls and Hannah Montana! We were completely obsessed and had choreographed routines for every song. The next year we were dancing on tables in her yard like we were the cheetah girls for her 11th birthday. Our friendship has come in waves like a lot of great friendships do. We had one class together in high school, 9th grade world history and i definitely requested some of granny’s sausage dip for class. We connected through a mutual friend again in college and when Jennifer started in the school of social work we really started to connect. I am a Clinical Social Worker, like Jennifer:), and we have grown so much together through our shared love for the helping profession. I am a proud mom to a cute five year old boy and super excited for Jennifer to have kids too one day!”

Hey y’all, I’m Isaac. I am Josh’s brother-in-law (Married to Peyton), which means I have had the special privilege of getting to know all about Josh not only through personal experience, but through the often times exaggerated lens of his younger sister. While stories of Josh’s childhood and his exploits may have been exaggerated by his sister, I’ve personally found many things about him that are accurate: Josh is one of the most genuine, caring people I have ever met. He loves his family immensely. He always knows when someone needs a good laugh and is usually the person able to provide it. I think he is more loved and respected than he knows. As a married man myself, I know how important it can be to know that you are loved and supported and luckily, Josh met Jen. Since meeting Jen years ago, I never had any doubt that she’d always let Josh know how she feels about him and that she’d balance his sometimes reserved, observant nature with her enthusiasm and passion. Jen’s combination of her good heart and her energy gives me faith that she’ll always work to make the lives of those around her better and that includes her relationship with Josh. I am excited to see these two come together as a family and can’t wait to celebrate them on their wedding day!

Kevin Wrought - Groomsman
Hey all, my name is Kevin and I have had the privilege of being Jen’s best friend since high school. Jen is one of the most loving, caring, thoughtful and compassionate friends you could ever ask for. If you know Jen, then you know her story and you know how even during times of difficulties, she still would make sure all her friends are okay before for herself. The day I met Josh is the day Jen met Josh ironically. Jen had called me to come pick up her and Josh from downtown after meeting with friends that night. When Jen woke up, Josh and I had already formed a bond over baseball, video games, and even a “cup of water” that she would come to love and hate. Josh is one of the most funny, genuine, outgoing individuals I’ve ever met. Being around both of them is the highlight of my week and they are always there for me. I am so honored to be a part of your big day. I wish you both nothing but the best and can’t wait to celebrate your big day!

Hi! My name is Airlie and I get to call the bride my aunt Jen Jen, because I am her niece! (My mom, Juliann is the Maid of Honor) I am so excited to be her flower girl! My aunt Jen Jen is so special to me. Aunts are the best because they give hugs like a mother, keep secrets like a sister, and share love like a friend! I am so lucky to have an aunt like my aunt Jen Jen. I have never been in a wedding before so I am very excited, but what I am the most excited about is seeing my aunt Jen Jen get married to Josh! I love seeing her happy, like she makes me happy! I love my aunt Jen Jen so much and I can’t wait to stand next to her on her wedding day!
