The Wedding Party

<p>We wanted to introduce you to some of our favorite people who will participate in our big day! They will walk down the aisle with who they are next to, and they can't wait to see your smiles before we do!</p>

Never would I have thought that a New Palestine girl and a Mt. Vernon girl would become best friends, but the Academy Volleyball Club had different plans for us. You are truly one of the greatest blessings I have been given in this lifetime. Spilling ranch on the floor, having dance parties with cucumbers, and snorting at jokes showcase our friendship. Rivals for life, babe.

Jesi Hall

Born two days apart, neighbors with my cousin...we were destined to take bubble baths together! We don't still do that, of course, only when we were 2...We played "wrestle-mania" with Kerry and had pool parties at Nanny's, we wore the Marauder Football uniform for many years together, and now we work side by side, except you're my employee (LOL) Love ya, bud!

Jack Robinson

College is an interesting place...but I am so glad that IU gave me you! It all started in our Freshman Year Honors Chemistry class, and the rest was history! Football games, Halloween parties, studying hard for Organic Chemistry exams just to get a failing grade...now, here we are, standing beside one another in our weddings! I love you!

Phoebe Neher

I would say I am the most iconic friend. From Black Sox baseball to the legendary "Coach Todd" story before middle school practice (if you know, you know), Sam and I have always had a tight bond. Fast-forward from MYFL to senior-year football season to watching games at IU, I can't wait to make more notable memories!

AJ Swingle

Did you call your friends on the landline in elementary school to see what the other was wearing, just so you could match? We didn't do that...but if we did, plaid shorts were TOTALLY our go-to thing! Then, we would carpool to practice and switch them to basketball shorts! 

Lexi Shelton

I am Olivia's younger brother. So no, I haven't known Sam for a long time like the other groomsmen, but after slowly getting to know him more, I can confidently say that he is ready to handle her attitude. Hopefully, she doesn't make you want to throw a seatbelt at her head like I did...Whoops!

Ethan Yeley

Though we played softball and basketball together, Olivia and I have been friends since birth (LITERALLY!) Our roots reside in our fathers: best friends growing up, college roommates, and even groomsmen at each other's weddings! It was only right that we carried on the tradition, right?

Macey Cox

Sam and I grew up on the baseball diamond together, too, and after Black Sox practice, we would play Black Ops on Xbox until our parents made us go to bed. Still gamers in high school, but higher stakes, Sam "donated" his money to the poker pot every week :)

Carson Augustinovicz

Miss Clark, if you are reading this...Olivia definitely did NOT help me do my math homework before basketball games ;) And a fun fact: I have never been close to her height, not even when we played travel in the third grade...SIGH! 

Abby Worley

Our friendship didn't begin to truly blossom until Sam stepped into the football locker room his senior year...but don't worry, I promise to always carry you back to the car after a rough night out...as long as it's not your wedding night.

Q + A

<p>We wanted to let everyone know that we will not be blocking hotels for our wedding weekend as it is Qualification Week for the Little 500 bike race in Bloomington, Indiana...This means it is going to be very busy in our college town! However, we understand that some of you may wish to book a stay nearby to prevent long travel after the wedding ends, or simply make a weekend out of it. If that is the case, we wanted to provide some options for you to choose from based on both proximity and good reviews. Of course, you can always search for a hotel, or even rent an AirBNB, on your own to make the best choice for you and your family. We cannot wait to celebrate with all of your wonderful faces!</p>
