Wedding Party

Kelsey Jones
Kelsey Jones - Maid of Honor
Madison has known Kelsey the longest out of any of her other bridesmaids. But that's a cop out because Kelsey is Madison's polar opposite older sister. Madison loves Kelsey so very much and promises at some point she will be formally asked to be her maid of honor.
Macy Jones
Macy Jones - Maid of Honor
Madison wrote Macy's musical theater bio in high school and thinks Macy should return the favor for her on this wedding website. If you're looking for Macy in the wedding party, just look for the shortest girl, and there she will be, which is why we affectionally call her smidge.
Haley Gregory
Haley Gregory - Bridesmaid
Madison met Haley her freshman year of college at UA, and they have been the bestest of pals since then. From spending a whole summer tucked in a tiny room in Colorado to conquering COVID quarantine as roomies, their friendship had been through a lot. While Madison greatly enjoyed all her time third wheeling with Haley and TJ, she is also glad the third wheeling season of her life is over.
MyAhna Davis
MyAhna Davis - Bridesmaid
Decades ago when The Vincent House first started, MyAhna waltzed into Madison's life and friendship formed over lots and lots and lots of shared experiences with the best kids in the whole world. Madison had only started talking with AJ just a month before she met MyAhna, so MyAhna has gotten to see the relationship form right before her eyes. They apologize in advance for sharing too many stories about TVH kids.
Noelle Brown
Noelle Brown - Bridesmaid
Someone asked Madison when she became close with Noelle, and that question remains unanswered. They met in 2019, were kind of friends, and then somehow 5 years later, they are definitely friends. No one is sure what happened in between.
Amanda Margaritakis
Amanda Margaritakis - Bridesmaid: Madison's ER Nurse on Call
MIH MANDA is another friend who you might hear Madison telling way too many stories about TVH to. MIH MANDA is the bestest most loyal friend you could ever find, and is also the one Madison panic calls with any anxious medical concern she has.
Ariel Kent
Ariel Kent - Bridesmaid
Madison never thought she would live next door to her in law. But when Madison moved into her house two years ago, she unknowingly chose to do so. She was first welcomed to the neighborhood with sunflowers from Ariel. Then Ariel also was present at Aj and Madison’s first real date and the rest is history.
Ron Kent
Ron Kent - Best Man
There aren’t words that can really describe the relationship Ron and AJ have. They have been brothers since the day AJ moved in With Ron and were bunkies when Ron was 13 and AJ was 7. Some of their fondest memories begin at Camp Burton when Ron was AJ’s camp counselor, playing their favorite band as brothers in the morning on blast to wake up, Needtobreathe. Ron was with AJ when he accepted Christ for the first time, and has had the joy of seeing Christ work in his crazy little brothers heart. You can find them riding around blasting Needttoreathe in Ron's college Honda Civic. They both have saved each others life at least once through the power of the Holy Spirit at work amongst them. Their relationship is one that is eternal and has been ordained by Christ. Ron has been a role model for Aj and will continueto be!
David Hench
David Hench - Groomsman
David and AJ are both enneagram 2's, which makes their relationship nothing but easy to have. David found himself in AJ's adult playground, the gym, and that's where they met. As much as David would say he's been encouraged by AJ, it feels unmatched to the encouragement he's given AJ, always pointing him back to Jesus. You can find AJ and David sharing coffees early on the weekend, speaking into each eachother's lives as Jesus leads them in their brotherhood. AJ looks forward to sharing life with this man of God in the years to come and is grateful it gets to be him.
Raheem Heard
Raheem Heard - Groomsman
Heem or as AJ calls him "heard the 3rd" (he's really a Jr., but its a possible name if he ever had a child, and AJ thinks its a really funny and repeats it over and over and over). But forreal, AJ has had the privilege to have seen this dude become a man from an oversized teenager. They have some of their first Memories together at Michael J. Zone rec center in Cleveland with other guys from the discipleship group, playing basketball. AJ thinks Raheem is one of the funniest people he knows, and that's hard to beat because AJ laughs way too much at his own jokes and somehow thinks he's hilarious even when Raheem says he's spamming jokes ;)
Bronson Luksza
Bronson Luksza - Groomsman
Since day 1 of working for the Well, AJ has known Bronson would be a bond that wouldn't be easily broken. They treasure the days they can work in the same Middlebury houses and play Needtobreathe and talk about what The Lord is doing in their lives. Bronson has the unique ability to match AJ's crazy personality, and it's not something that AJ takes lightly to find in a friend. If there's someone AJ can count on laughing at his corny jokes, its this guy!
James Talbert
James Talbert - Groomsman
James and AJ go way back to the days when Ron and James shared an apartment in Canton. James was the cool guy on the couch anyone could talk to, even if it was your first time meeting him. The biggest thing these two have in common besides loving Jesus, is their deep love for the city of Cleveland. Anything Cleveland... The Cavs, the browns, Nick Chubb, and so on... AJ has viewed this guy as a big brother for years, and doesn't see that changing in the years to come. AJ plans to serve and love the city of Akron alongside James, helping Akron become more like Heaven one day at a time!
Justice Furno
Justice Furno - Groomsman
Justice and AJ share a deep love for serving and loving youth. The ways that the Lord has used these two together at camps and AYM is unforgettable. Here is another guy that AJ can be his goofy self around without fear of judgment. These two can be found sharpening each other in the gym, pushing each other to go for one more rep on their heaviest workout. AJ looks forward to sharing life in the years to come.... HEYYY PETERRRR!
Jonathan Craig
Jonathan Craig - Groomsman
The picture says it all! Brothers since day 1, and for that AJ is grateful. So many memories these two share, highs and lows, ups and downs. AJ would argue their existence today as brothers is a miracle and a witness of God's goodness. They've seen each other at their best and their worst, and knows the best is yet to come. They both look up to eachother, but AJ knows he'll never come close to having the same work ethic as Johnathan. They never miss a beat, even if a lot of time passes between their conversations.
