Wedding Weekend Details

Photos

My longest-standing friend, teammate since age ten on the softball field, and one of my biggest cheerleaders — I was honored to stand by her side on her wedding day, and she shared in the day Trey and I got engaged -- she's truly been with me through it all!


Alyssa Zook

My college roommate turned lifelong best friend — she’s like a sister to me, achieved her dream of becoming a doctor, is absolutely killing it as a new mom, and has been by my side through life's toughest moments. I couldn’t imagine this day without her!

Madi Bea Conaway

Being twins means sharing a lifelong connection -- even as our last names change. I’m deeply grateful for the journey Taylor and I share, and having her by my side as my Twin of Honor means more to me than words can say!

Taylor Petitt

From welcoming me to Creighton with open arms, to supporting me while I raised my corgi, Nugget, and sharing in her wedding as a bridesmaid, she’s been a constant source of joy. Now I get to celebrate her as a thriving new mom, and I couldn’t be happier she’s here!

Natalie Biermann

From law school to life’s wildest adventures, she’s been a constant — I was blessed to watch her marry the love of her life, we trauma-bonded through the Bar Exam, and she’s been an amazing support through wedding planning. Thrilled she’s standing with me today!

Ellie Fairweather

From law school beginnings to bar exam victories, she’s always been kind, dependable, and an incredible friend — balancing her career as a new attorney, teaching yoga with an amazing work ethic, and radiating strength and charisma. Couldn’t imagine celebrating without her!


Cameron Jenkins

From meeting through Trey’s Best Man to now having her as my dentist (yes, the coolest ever!) and partner-in-crime for any girls’ day, I've been blessed by her warmth, fun energy, and kind nature -- she’s an amazing friend and I feel so lucky to have her standing with me today!

Sanhita Jana

As one of the first friends I met through Trey, she’s creative, fun, and endlessly thoughtful — Kenzie is the kind of friend who never fails to make everyone feel seen and cherished, and always goes above and beyond for the people she loves. Thrilled she's by my side today!


Kenzie Kizer

Being redheads and adorable aren't the only reason people think we are brothers. Buckets (Nick) and I have been best friends for 11 years now. We bonded over not fitting in with the world -- too sporty to be a geek, and too geeky to be a jock. Buckets is the biggest goofball I have ever had the pleasure to be around and I will love him until the day I die. Buckets and I are both founding members of the 67 boyz.   
He was an easy person to choose to be my best man, as he has been right there next to me through every stage of my adult life. I look forward to stepping into that position for him when he gets married in September!

Nick Reynolds

Payton and Taylor aren't the only ones who are allowed to act like twins! Brock is my older brother (2 years) and longest friend (both of us even share the same birth location at a family home in Napoleon, Ohio). Payton and I were even blessed to have been chosen as Godparents to Brock's children. I don't think I would have made it this far throughout the chaos of life, if it wasn't for him answering the phone "Dawwgiee" every time I call! Brock, thank you for teaching me to always be myself, no matter how much of giant toddlers we become when we're together. Thankfully Payton realizes that will never change! 

Brock Schroeder

Kyle is our 3rd founding member of the 67 Boyz! Not only have we been friends for 10 years, but he was also one of my college professors. Kyle and I have not only enjoyed hundreds of hours on the karaoke stage together, but we have enjoyed riding tandem on the same e-scooter through the streets of Columbus. Kyle has been the little angel on my shoulder when I need his advice in life. He has been through it all and has helped me not only avoid a lot of failure in my life, but has supported me through some of my best days. I look forward to having him MC our wedding, and to share our 4am balcony Beers for a long time to come. 

Kyle Beachy

Zach and I became friends playing basketball together in 2016. Zach is like the little brother I never wanted. While Kyle is the angel on my shoulder, Zach is the little guy on the other side. He is one of the only people in my life that can talk me into taking another shot, talking our way into a VIP section, or playing "Just One More Game" on the Xbox. He has taught me how to be a father figure, and unfortunately is the reason I know how to bail someone out of jail. He very well might be the dumbest genius I have ever met, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Zach Wilcox

Steven is one of my oldest friends. We have known each other since travel basketball in the 4th grade. We truly became friends as the only people on our basketball team who were in advanced math in 7th grade. Fun Fact, Steven and I agreed to start reading the Twilight series in middle school in order to have stuff to talk to girls about. We never missed a midnight release of the movies, even though our plan to find dates there never did work out. Steven is the sole reason why Payton has 17 "PBFTWC" t-shirts to wear, as every Easter he and I stay up until 5am playing basketball in our home town with our old high school teammates to raise money for individuals with disabilities. (And show our wives we've still got it) I look forward to our kids joining us playing one day! 

Steven Strayer

I met Luke during Covid. We were social butterflies that couldn't sit still and needed someone to talk to. He was my neighbor, and one fateful day when I saw him grilling, I popped my head over his fence asking if he wanted some of my homemade moonshine. When his response was, "of course," I knew that we were meant to be friends. Luke is the oldest of 4 boys over 6'2, and I am the youngest of 3 boys over 6'2. It was a match made in heaven. Luke taught me how to play footie (rugby) and I taught him how to throw darts underhand. I have never had a dull moment with Luke, whether it's hanging out at bible study with his dad, poppa Tim, or just grabbing a burger and beer on a Friday night. 

Luke Downs

Logan is a very good friend of mine! Not only is he one of the nicest people I have ever met, he has a great Sinatra presence on the karaoke stage. Logan and I also met during Covid, when his sister Kenzie was my neighbor. Logan, who was once a great athlete in his prime, and still a fantastic golfer to this day, learned the hard way that you can't always beat a drunk man wearing a kilt in a foot race. Ever since taking that loss with pride, Logan and I have been close friends. If Zach is the brother I never wanted, Logan is the little brother I always asked for. It has been wholesome to watch him grow into the man he is today and I am very thankful for everything he and the rest of his amazing family have done for Payton and I. 

Logan Kizer

Nugget may be small, but he’s mighty when it comes to cuteness! Tasked with carrying the rings, he’s ready to strut down the aisle with his signature waddle and endless charm. Fair warning: he might pause for a belly rub or a sniff along the way—but we wouldn’t have it any other way!

Nugget Loaf

Brooklyn and Savannah, Trey's beloved nieces, are ready to sprinkle the aisle with petals and joy! Their laughter, bright smiles, and sweet little steps down the aisle will remind us all of the love and family that surrounds our special day!
