Hi! I met Lydia in our sorority and became her big sister! From there we were fast friends and shared a love for a lot of things like Disney and One Tree Hill. My favorite memories are hard to choose but I loved getting to see the filming of one tree hill locations with her in North Carolina, going to Disney together, and making matching Build-a-bears. (The build-a-bears are just one of the many things we have that match. We even have matching cars!) I am most excited to see Lydia get a day that celebrates her and allows her to feel as beautiful as I know she is inside and out! I also cannot wait to see these two get hitched!

Hi! My name is Jacob. I met Lydia in 2022 when I started at Reynolds and Reynolds. She was a massive part of my training as a new hire and through the years we have gotten really close and we are basically the same person. My favorite memory with Lydia is a tie between when we spent a week in Houston together for work and when she came to visit me in Florida and we went to Disney together. In Houston we got to explore Houston and just hang out after work hours at the hotel or going to dinner. When she came down for Disney, I had a blast going to Hollywood Studios and riding rides and watching Fantasmic (a show we both love). I am most excited to experience my “Royal Bestie”’s special day with her closest family and friends.

Hi, I’m Emma French, a friend of the bride. I graduated from Wright State University in 2023, where Lydia and I met. She was my “big” in our sorority on campus, Zeta Tau Alpha. We have been friends since 2019. One of my favorite memories with Lydia was our trip to Myrtle beach together. Other favorites are our sorority fam dinners and watching the bachelor at her house. I’m so excited to be apart of her and Brett’s special day!

Hello there! My name is Kylie. I met Lydia working at Reynolds and Reynolds a few years ago and we have been good friends ever since. My favorite memory with her is going to Cincinnati for “Swiftinnati” in 2023. We sat outside the stadium for the Eras Tour and made friendship bracelets. I’m most excited to celebrate Lydia and Brett on their big day!

Hello! My name is Ocean Sensenbaugh. I currently live in Arizona with my husband and daughter. Lydia and I met in college, those will always be my fondest memories especially when we had class together! I look forward to standing by her side and helping her celebrate just like she did for me.

Hi, I'm Brad, brother of the groom. Growing up with Brett, we had many fun times together including riding bikes around our neighborhood, shooting basketball in the driveway, and occasionally rough-housing in the living room. I really enjoyed watching Brett play sports and continue to enjoy watching him become a coach himself. I am most excited to watch Brett start a new chapter in his life as he marries the love of his life.

My name is Dean Yoho, and I met Lydia and Brett while working at Dick's Sporting Goods. My favorite memory with them is the constant pranks we would play on each other while working, from hiding security tags in each other’s pockets to playing radio tag. I am most excited to be able to stand next to Brett while he marries the love of his life!

Hello, I’m Maksim Damljanovic from Cleveland, OH. Brett and I have been friends since our teenage years, and one of our cherished memories was attending our first Cavs game together! Throughout our friendship, I've known Brett to embody the qualities of honesty, humility, and selflessness. These virtues are foundational for a fulfilling marriage. True love in marriage thrives on sacrificial love, and Brett exemplifies this beautifully. His love for Lydia is paramount, truly surpassing all else. As Lydia and Brett embark on this journey together, my heartfelt prayer is that their love deepens with each passing day, bringing them enduring joy and fulfillment for the rest of their lives!

Hello! My name is Makarije Damljanovic and I met Brett through my brother. I am a Senior at Cleveland State University majoring in mechanical engineering. I enjoy being outdoors, especially skiing and swimming. I enjoy playing games - especially with Brett!
