Jordan Farthing - Bridesmaid
A faithful friend of the bride! Jordan is from the Bride's hometown, but they didn't meet until she moved to Tampa so her husband, AJ, could help pastor Jessica's church! She's also a great Zumba buddy, spreadsheet queen, and almost beats Jessica when playing games ๐.
Michael Gaither - Groomsman
Brother of the groom. Knows a lot about flying, and a little about everything else. Always down for a good time and a great family man.
Lindsey Schadt - Bridesmaid
Friend of the bride! Lindsey and Jessica met when Lindsey's kiddo was in the Kid's Ministry at New City Church. Then Lindsey's family joined the bride's small group and the rest was history. Lindsey says she's a bad influence, but she fills the room with laughter and encouragement everywhere she goes!
John Hasemeier - Groomsman
Brother of the groom. This dude is a punk. Bad at video games. He's a good dude, kind of.
Leslie Rich - Bridesmaid
The Bride's friend since fifth grade! From walkie talkie conversations and being young entrepreneurs to navigating the twists and turns of life as adults. There isn't a shortage of laughter when Leslie and Jessica are together. Even though Leslie can be very comfortable saying, "no," and Jessica used to be really pushy, their friendship has continued to blossom. Jessica is so grateful that they have built the type of relationship where they just "get" each other.
Samuel Gaither - Groomsman
Nephew of the groom. Pretty good at fishing; actually really good at it. Best bud of the groom.

Hannah and Jessica share the passion of teaching. ....they also shared a room once when they were younger! Jessica appreciates Hannah's honesty and intentionality with their relationship.
Jon Morel - Groomsman
Brother-in-law and sir of the groom. A man of few words, a man of many cars, and a man with an adequate beard.

Sister of the bride. A free spirit that always shows up when you need her. Morgan's southern accent deepens by the day, and so does her love for the people in her life.
David Kahn - Groomsman
Friend of the groom. Fond of Magic. No not that kind of magic, the one with all the expansion packs. Good friend for 20 years. Gave the groom a place to live. Thatโs pretty cool.

Friend of the Bride. Not afraid to get sassy and a lot of fun! When Jessica joined the New City Church church planting team, Bethany was one of her first friends.

Jessica admires that Bethany is always welcoming people in to her home and looking for ways to serve others.

Nephew of the groom. A really cool dude. Kind of a crazy monster, but still awesome.
