THE GENTS

I am so thankful to have each of these amazing men by my side on my special day! Each of these people have had a profound impact on me throughout many different stages of my life, and I am so blessed to call each of them a groomsman. - Thomas

PRESTON STANLEY - BEST MAN

Preston and I met while in college at Malone.  I remember initially thinking he was quite odd but as I got to know him over time we became best friends.  Throughout college we bonded through baseball training and family time at our college house (Phi Alta Place) in Canton. Preston is one person that has always been there for me and I feel like I can tell him literally anything and gain valuable advice or insight. Preston is from Columbus, OH and has a career in medical sales with Karl Storz.

JOE KNEEBUSCH - GROOMSMAN

Joe and I have been great friends for a long time going back to high school. We met at Lutheran West my sophomore year and I spent a lot of my free time hanging out at his house playing mini hoop basketball or going in his hot tub.  We created a lot of memories in high school and throughout college too.  He went to Kent State University which is not too far from Malone so I was able to visit somewhat frequently.  Joe lives in Berea, OH and has a career as a Cash Application Supervisor at Airgas.

STEVEN TOME - GROOMSMAN

Steve and I also met in college at Malone.  Steve also played on the baseball team but we didn't truly became friends until my senior year. We ended up living together in the first year of my graduate program and that is when we really got to know each other more. Steve and I have bonded over the Browns, Ohio State football, and family time at Phi Alta Place.  Steve ended up enrolling in Graduate school at Belmont University, where Audrey also attended, and lived in the same house as Audrey for a year.  Steve has become close with the both of us and we have made many great memories visiting him in Nashville, TN.

OWEN ZEITER - GROOMSMAN

Owen and I were acquaintances early in my college career. He was the RA (Resident Assistant) on my floor during my Sophomore year so I would occasionally go into his suite and hangout. Our friendship was temporarily damaged because of a misunderstanding in which Audrey was kicked out of my suite during 'no visitation hours' even though I was in class at the time and she needed somewhere to hangout.  Later in my college career we became friends and he was also a resident of Phi Alta Place.  Living together helped me get to know Owen a lot better. We have created a great relationship over the years and I forgive him for his previous trespasses.

DANNY MILLER - GROOMSMAN

Danny and I first met when we were working concession stands the Pro Football Hall of Fame Stadium. I originally thought he was too goofy to be a close friend of mine with his supreme clothing and European handbag but that changed.  We first became close through playing baseball together at Malone and then eventually started hanging out outside of baseball.  Danny is always the life of the party and it is guaranteed he will make you laugh and brighten your day when you're around him.

KYLE WAPSHOTT - GROOMSMAN

Kyle is engaged to my sister, Emma, and we have gotten to know each other well through family events.  It is a joy to have Kyle become a part of our family and to watch Emma and him grow together. I am happy to have both Emma and him involved in the big day.

PATRICK WEILER - GROOMSMAN

Patrick and I met around my Sophomore year of high school at Lutheran West.  Joe, Patty, and I spent a lot of time hanging out in school and outside of school.  We have made a lot of memories in high school and also during college winter and summer breaks.  I have known Patrick for awhile now and it has been a pleasure watching him evolve and have a successful accounting career.
