Anthony Zanow - Officiant
I belong to the one in the suit. I was literally paid to join these two in matrimony but I'm not mad about it. After Im all official, you'll catch me rangling my gremlins, I mean children, with a drink in my hand. Really proud to be here.
Jonothan Wheeless - Best Man
Bill Zanow and I have been inseparable since high school in 1987. From spontaneous road trips to D.C. and a questionable flight to Boston to rescue a “project” Mustang, we’ve shared more adventures (and breakdowns) than either can count. We even joined the military within weeks of each other, proving our bond runs deeper than most friendships. After nearly four decades of laughter, hikes, and unforgettable stories, I am honored to stand by Bill’s side as his best man — though I still refuse to help fix another car.
Kayla Zanow - Matron Of Honor
Slinger of the drinks- will dominate the karaoke machine- Most likely to cry at this shindig.
Anette Rentas - Bridesmaid
I’ve known Jillian for 9 years, which means I’ve survived her driving, her sass, and her smoothest insults — and I still call her family. I’m the friend who brings the drinks, the laughs, slight chaos and maybe a few prayers when things get wild. Most likely to cry happy tears and roast the bride in the same breath!
Chadwick Zanow - Groomsman
Bill and I go back 42 years to September 24th, 1983. I know that specific date as it is my birthday and Bill is my brother. Though we have had a fair amount of distance between us over the years, I have always had a close relationship with him. As a kid, I remember being so proud to tell my friends that my brother was a Marine and overseas fighting for our country. I watched Bill work hard to be able to provide for his family as a young adult, secure his degree from Georgia Tech and start a successful career at Steelfab. We were fortunate enough to go on several big adventures together such as hiking the Grand Canyon, trips to NY and Niagara Falls, an RV trip and a trip to France and the Netherlands. I will never forget these big trips, but they cannot overshadow all of the time I spent with Bill in Georgia just visiting, laughing, playing basketball in his driveway, shooting off fireworks and just hanging out with my big brother. I'm excited and honored to be a part of another big adventure with Bill and Jillian come March.
Whitney Hayes - Bridesmaid
Loves to belt Martina McBride, Usually found with a book, alcoholic beverage or one of my dogs. Most likely to get rowdy after three drinks, but I promise to behave for this special day.
Chris Hayes - Groomsman
Bill and I met just a few years ago but we have become very close friends and it feels like we have been friends forever. We share a birthday month and usually I don’t like sharing my birthday parties but I wouldn’t have it any other way! He is one of my closest friends and confidant.
Destiny Weathers - Bridesmaid
Part-time bridesmaid, full-time legend. May not have found her soulmate yet, but will find the open bar. Here to support the bride, rock the photos, and maybe walk out with a plus-one she didn’t walk in with.
