A little about our wedding party....

We may not be as stylin' as the people in that picture, but we'll look pretty darn good I'm sure. We thought it would be a good idea to talk about our wedding party members because most of family and friends probably don't know them very well, if at all.

We'll start with the guys...


This is Telly. Josh first met Telly around 1989 when he moved North to attend high school while living with his mom. From day one Josh and Telly hit it off. They share many interests, some of which we'll not mention here.

The two of them have many stories of bonfires, guitars, and good times. Over the course of their friendship, they've remained close even though Josh moved back to Akron. They are both proud fathers and excellent friends.

As you can see from this picture, Telly has a passion for music. He writes, plays, sings and
truly has a gift. Hopefully, he will never put his guitar down.


This is Robbie (the one on the left). In searching through pictures of Rob it became evident he is rarely alone, so it seemed fitting to use a picture of him and Amanda.

Josh and Robbie met their Sophomore year of high school and became great friends. Rob and his entire family played host to weekend after weekend on the lake. They may as well have adopted Josh. Rob is always smiling and is the only guy that you will never see mad.

Rob, like Telly, has a passion for music and the three of them spent countless nights around a campfire with guitars, watching the sun go down and sun come back up. Rob is also a proud father and the type of friend anyone would be proud to have.


Now onto the girls....


This is Stef. Jill and Stef became friends on December 30, 2005. Yes, we remember the exact date. The details of our friendship are simply ones of fate. In discussing putting this post up Stef's requirement was that it had to be a good picture. This picture kinda expresses Stef exactly.

She's happy, blonde and loves her big yellow dog...er horse, Sisco. She's the kind of friend that will bring you a chic flick and warm, gooey chocolate cake at 9:30 at night simply because you need it. Jill and Stef spend most of their time together laughing at things no one else can decipher. They have their own language... Stillyness. Stef's is a wonderful, friend, wife, and mother. Stef is also the reason that Josh and Jill met. She worked her matchmakin' voodoo and the rest is history.


This is Sherry. Jill and Sherry met in the very cliche way that epitomizes the early 2000s.... in a chatroom on Myspace. We hit it off laughing while both stuck in our respective homes. Her's a basement apartment in Brooklyn, New York and she had a broken foot. Jill was in Rochester, Indiana, a recent single mom. Both of them looking for some simple adult conversation. Who would think there would be such a wonderful friendship lurking in a chatroom.

Sherry is a world traveler. She takes risks and lives life to the fullest. She is loving and possesses that thing that draws people to her. She will answer her phone at 3am and fly to Indiana to spend a few days in the cornfields.

Sherry is traveling from from New York to stand up in the wedding. In a world where people lose contact so easily, Sherry is going to be around for the long haul. Even it means a few plane tickets for the rest of our lives.
