Amanda Smith - Maid of Honor
Amanda has been my best friend for my entire life. Our mom's met when they were pregnant with us, so we say we've known each other since before we were born! We have gone through everything together and I am so happy she's the one next to me as I start this new chapter in my life!
Oliver Wuensch - Best Man
Oliver and I met at a kickball game in college and quickly became pretty close. Afterwards we became roommates in Cincinnati for a couple of years, working together, attending trivia nights, and raising two cats together. Then we moved to Streetsboro and he’s been there with us along our relationship. He even purchased the travel engagement ring on his Amazon account to help keep the surprise from Kayla!
Cara Wobser - Matron of Honor
Cara is my older sister. Growing up we didn't always get along. Now, we have formed a friendship. At the end of the day, I know I can depend on her to be there for me when I need her and I am so happy she will be with me through all the wedding planning and day of.
Kyle Hanlin - Groomsman
Kyle is my brother and we’ve always been close. We don’t get to see each other often since we live in different states, but we still keep up with each other. Our favorite things to talk about are the Mets and our different family fantasy sports teams.
Courtney Brown - Bridesmaid
Courtney is one of my younger cousins. When we were little she would drive me crazy. Now she is one of my favorite people. She lives out of state now, and I love when she comes home to visit us all. She is the closest thing I have to a little sister
Avery Hanlin - Groomsman
Avery is my cousin and also a part of “Gerry’s Kids” that would all hang out together growing up. Quoting SpongeBob and other cartoon at each other started when we were kids and still happens now. It was an honor to be a part of Avery’s wedding and I’m excited to have him in mine!

Cameron is my cousin and was the one to come up with the name “Gerry’s Kids” for Kyle, Avery, and the two of us while growing up. There were a lot of trips to Splash Lagoon, family football games, and Chili Opens attended together. He is one of the funniest people I know and I know I can depend on him.
Samantha Bartley - Bridesmaid
Sam and I have been friends since high school. We met while doing stage crew during the fall play my sophmore year, her freshman. I am so grateful we never grew apart after I graduated, I can't imagine my life without her. Not only is she an amazing friend, she is also a wonderful mom to 3 beautiful kids, that I am lucky enough to call my nieces and nephew.
Reid Fleeson - Groomsman
Reid and I became friends in college, we had tons of classes together, including the Adam Sandler Class. We became close during our time in History Club. His apartment was where we would hangout or throw parties. Even after college, when we lived in different states, Reid and I played video games, talked sports, and he got me hooked on the show Big Brother. More than once I faked an excuse from working in Las Vegas to “visit back home” and instead we hang out for a weekend.
Brianna McAlarney - Bridesmaid
Brianna has been my sister's best friend since they were in 5th grade, so I have known her since I was around 5! I always loved when they would hangout because Brianna is such a fun and silly person. Now that we are older, that hasn't changed. She is always fun to be around and I am so grateful to have her as a friend!
Bret Harvey - Groomsman
Bret is the first friend I made in college, when we met during Hall Council in our freshman year. We shared similar interests in sports, shows, and games and ended up being roommates our next few years in the dorms. We still make sure to get together and go to some ballgames and have game nights when we can.
Nicholas Ballway - Bridesman
Nick is one of my older cousins. We were very close growing up, because our older sister's were always together. Then we had a few years where we weren't so close (Nick thought he was too cool for me or something), and we bonded again when we got a little older. He puts up with all of Amanda's & my sass and silliness. He's my cousin, roommate, and best friend!
Jared Strubel - Groomsman
Jared and I met at the College Democrats and then History Club. We hit it off pretty well and I even played a key part in the beginning of his relationship with his wife Mackenzie. I was honored to be a groomsman in his wedding and excited that he can be one in mine now

Maddy Dolezal - Officiant
Maddy and I have been friends since high school. Like my friendship with Sam, Maddy and I became friends while doing stage crew! Then Maddy came to work with me at the library. We worked together there for 5 years and still work in the same library system now! Maddy is one of the kindest people I know and I am so lucky to have had her as a friend for all these years. I am so excited for her to officiate our wedding! I think it'll make it even more special!
