Our Wedding

Many would describe the story of Sydney and Ozzy as a reflection of some of the greatest love stories throughout the ages. Some have analogized it to the star crossed tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, some to the wild west crooks Bonnie and Clyde, others to the affair that started the Trojan war Paris and Helen, and even a few to the fabled princess and the frog. Not because their story is anything like these in any way shape or form, but because, like these legendary couples, the love that Sydney and Ozzy share can stand unshaken through every tempest, can brave the fiercest tides together, and can conquer all nations.

Our Story

Sebastian and I met on July 20th, 2003. We essentially grew up together. He is one of the funniest people I know but he sucks at ping pong. We are also brothers.

Sebastian Taborda

We met working at Lake Powell, AZ when we decided to wake up at 4:00 a.m. to see the sunrise after knowing each other for less than 24 hours. We are forever seasonal work buddies, and worked at the Grand Tetons the following year! 

Juliet Gear

Matt and I met at Gulfstream in Savannah where we were randomly assigned as roommates. Our destinies have been intertwined ever since we both fell for another pair of roommates at UGA.

Matt O'Brien 

We met at birth. Kaylee is the cool older sister who travels the world and can speak fluent spanish. During quarantine Kaylee and I got extremely close bugging our family, doing Chloe Ting workouts, and sharing delirious laughs.

Kaylee Jerman

Garrett and I met senior year of highschool and then became roommates freshman and sophomore year of college at UGA. I have probably shared the most brews with Garrett across my lifetime.

Garrett Guinther

We also met at birth. Annabelle is my cool younger sister who is currently in vet school and has the largest collection of useless knowledge I know. She and I compete for who has the best football throw, but after her recent championships she probably has me beat. 

Annabelle Jerman

Mark and I are always on the same wavelength. He is also the closest thing to a modern day poet that I have come across. Be sure to ask him for an inspirational quotes. Mark and I have probably shared the most romantic settings together (after Sydney).

Mark Wetherly

Carol and I met in the DZ sorority house, and lived together for two years. Not only are we both marrying our DZ semi dates, but Carol and I went to almost every football game our senior year. This included sleeping on the floor of the Miami airport for the Orange Bowl and driving 13 hours to Indianapolis for the Natty. 

Carol Beatty

Spencer and I met in 7th grade at Holy Redeemer. He is definitely the funniest person I know. Fun fact: Spencer has never beat me in a 1v1 basketball game.

Spencer Arndt

We met in Utah during grad school where we suffered all of our classes and took our dogs to the park everyday. Madison is the funniest and best story teller I know.  She is always up to date with the most recent sweet treat trends before they even start. 

Madison Nakielny 

Gus is my oldest friend. We have been friends since birth. He is essentially family and I actually thought we were cousins until I was 7.

Gustavo Rodriguez

We met at UGA and were roommates for two years. Jamie and I bonded over watching trash reality TV, speaking in terrible accents, and sweet treats. Fun fact about Jamie is I spelled her name wrong for probably a year until she threatened to stop being friends with me if I couldn't get it right. 

Jamie Skilling

We met in highschool, and were roommates freshman year at UGA. I convinced Kaitlyn to play soccer our senior year where she was forced to play goalie, and now has a permanent memory as seen by her broken pinky. 

Kaitlyn Rutledge

We met during UGA lacrosse tryouts, and were inseparable all throughout college. We went to church together, broke our legs together, and got COVID together. Kelsey and I lived together for 2 years until she left for a mission trip to Turkey!!
