Kirstin is Lucas' oldest sister. Kirstin has always been the protective type and her detective skills are widely acclaimed. When Lucas and Kelsey started dating, she was sure to check for a criminal history. She found nothing to worry about...yet. She is also the mother of Elijah (Junior Groomsman), Miles (Ring Security), and Audrey (Flower Girl).
Kelly Wellman - Matron of Honor
Kelly and Kelsey were roommates at Capital University their sophomore, junior & senior year. Kelly brought endless joy and laughter to Kelsey's life when they starting living together. (If you want any specific stories, don't be shy in asking!) Even though 100 miles now separates them, their friendship is filled with the joy of walking alongside each other through life's changes.
Andrea Walker - Best Woman
Andrea is Lucas' middle sister. Andrea's passions for local community, justice, and contemplation have been inspiring to Lucas. These shared interests are part of why they enjoy attending Macklemore concerts together. If she seems drunk on the dance floor, she is probably sober but just enjoying the opportunity to dance! She is also one of the greatest supporters of the Worthington Ohio Deer Task Force.
Courtney Benitez - Bridesmaid
Courtney is Kelsey's childhood friend. Their mothers are best friends, and luckily, that friendship brought Courtney into Kelsey's life. This friendship has withstood hundreds of miles and years without seeing one another. Courtney's caring heart and thoughtful soul are two big reasons why they have never lost touch. Kelsey can't wait to have Courtney back in Ohio for the wedding!
Paige Waddell - Best Woman
Paige is Lucas' youngest sister. Paige may only be five feet tall, but she a force of nature. She is the life of the party, an incredible athlete (first ballot GHS Athletic Hall of Fame), and works hard to teach her students that physical education is so much more than "gym." When a Taylor Swift song comes on, you can bet Paige (and Andrea) will get the dance floor rocking!
Elise Discher - Bridesmaid
Elise and Kelsey have been friends since the 6th grade! Fun fact, Elise and Kelsey asked each other to be in their weddings... on the same day! Unplanned! This friendship is one that will last... I mean, gosh, it has lasted through every awkward hair and fashion phase imaginable! Not to mention the rollercoaster that is your 20s. Kelsey feels so lucky to have lived through so much life with Elise!
Dean Walters - Best Man
Dean and Lucas met in college. They actually did not hang out until about two months before Dean graduated when a mutual friend introduced them. That summer, Dean let Lucas crash at his apartment in Lima so he could get back and forth from his internship easier. He has always been one to go the extra mile for his friends.
Morgan Annable - Bridesmaid
Morgan and Kelsey are college friends! They first met their freshman year at Capital University and became fast friends working as Orientation Leaders together the start of their sophomore year. Nothing helps you bond faster than being asked to, quite literally, cheer on incoming students together as they arrive on campus at 7am! Kelsey is grateful Morgan's positive spirit and warm soul will be there on October 18!
Elijah Harvey - Jr. Groomsman
Elijah is Kirstin's (Best Woman) oldest son. He is quite the athlete and can often be found kicking butt on the gridiron, hardwood, and wrestling mat. Keep an eye out for his world-renowned facial expressions during the ceremony and his one-of-a-kind dance moves at the reception. Lucas is grateful to have had the chance to be an uncle to a nephew with so much rizz.
Mary Kleffner - Bridesmaid
Mary and Kelsey are college friends! Their friendship was founded upon things like interesting communications classes (and profs), working on Capital's campus simultaneously, and serving as presidents of campus organizations alongside each other. Boy oh boy, do they have stories for you!! Mary is a fierce friend and the ultimate hype-woman. Kelsey knows she'll keep not only the energy up but the dance floor vibes up too!
Miles Harvey - Ring Security
Miles is Kirstin's (Best Woman) middle child. And yes, he is a middle child through and through. Watch for his adorable and ornery smile as he escorts Asher (Ring Bearer) down the aisle.
Asher Wellman - Ring Bearer
Asher is Kelly's (Matron of Honor) son! He is claimed by Kelsey as her nephew. He is a smiley & adventurous little boy who is sure to steal your heart!
Audrey Harvey - Flower Girl
Audrey is Kirstin's (Best Woman) daughter. This is her 3rd wedding as flower girl in less than a year, making her MORE than qualified to pitch petals! She's about to outshine us all!
Jon Keller - Officiant
Jon is Lucas' dad. He has taught Lucas and so many others about the importance of loving people. As he often likes to remind people, Love Wins.
