BRONSON&JENNIFER
Lynn is definitely someone you want in your corner! Lynn has spent the entire engagement season working to make the couple feel special and relaxed (to varying degrees of success). She is thrilled to be hosting such a beautiful celebration and hopes that everyone has a wonderful time celebrating her daughter's love!
Jennifer is definitely Jeff's pride and joy, and it shows in everything he does! He has made sure that Bronson and Jennifer have the incredible day he knows they deserve. Fun fact: Jeff thought Jennifer should pursue a degree in Psychology as a student athlete at Yale! Jennifer is happy to deliver a son-in-law who fulfills that wish!
Shawn (presumably) met Jennifer shortly after her birth and has filled a quintessential big brother role ever since. Shawn both built Jennifer her PC (earning him a shoutout in the dedication of her Master's thesis) and bought her the tortilla press she used to make the Save the Dates! Bronson and Jennifer are thrilled to have his support on this big day!
As Bronson's eldest brother, Ben has always been someone Bronson looks up to. Whether they're playing Overwatch together, nerding out over Souls games, or playing Euchre (with Emily and Jennifer, of course), Ben and Bronson are always having a great time. The couple is happy to have such a reliable person in their retinue!
Tullus and Jennifer became friends while taking his father's Latin class in sixth grade. Their friendship has survived both the trials of tween-hood and the tribulations of navigating the world as an adult. Tullus is a fantastic friend to both Jennifer and Bronson, and the couple is happy to have him by their side!
Brian and Bronson started out as mortal enemies (every brother needs one!) and, as they grew up, became best friends! Bronson and Jennifer's first trip as a couple was an adventure to Put-in-Bay with Brian as their tour guide. Brian's familial devotion and spontaneity ensures that this wedding will be a great time.
Heather can probably be described as Jennifer's longest standing friend. As cousins, they're built-in playmates and spent much of their childhood hanging out. Heather is a true ride or die (and was the first person in Jennifer's family to know about Bronson), and the couple is excited to have her by their side!
Kyle and Bronson have played many different parts over the years, but whether they're academic weapons or hypothetical business partners (port-a-potty business incoming), they're always first in line to help each other out. Icing on the cake; Kyle has been a devoted captain of Team Jennifer + Bronson since day 1!
Yonatan was among the first people Bronson met at Yale, and their friendship is still going strong 11 years later! While Yon was Bronson's friend first, countless nights of bonding has made him firmly friend to both. Fun fact: Yon is the only non-family member who has ever been allowed to take care of Simon, their cat!
Brittany spent many of her teen years with an adorable baby Bronson at her hip! She's funny, tough, and a great example of what hard work can get you. And, if you're a sick cat, she will 100% adopt you. Jennifer and Bronson are glad to have some big sister energy in their lineup!

When Bronson and Jennifer first met, they took very little time to become close friends. A few initial meetings amongst mutual friends evolved into frequent card games and late night trips to the gas station until they spent every single free moment together. Against the backdrop of a global pandemic and the complete disruption of any future plans, neither wanted to be the first to admit that their relationship was different. They knew, though, knew that something about the perfect ease with which they occupied one anothers' space was not simple friendship.
Over the next year and a half, their friendship strengthened. Jennifer adopted her cat, Simon, and Bronson was the first to meet him. They took countless trips to Mansfield to hang out with Bronson's family. They rarely went more than a day without spending time together. Bronson quickly realized he couldn't imagine his life without her, and Jennifer quickly realized what exactly that meant.
They were in the car on a long drive to Bronson's niece's first birthday party when they finally acknowledged the elephant in the room. A few days later, Bronson asked Jennifer to be his girlfriend, and within a few short months they had moved in together and couldn't imagine it any different. Life in Columbus was simple, filled with football and gym dates and lounging by the pool. They loved their home and their little family, and took great trips to Montréal and Playa del Carmen!
In 2023, they moved to a tiny old studio in NYC so that Jennifer could get her Master's at NYU! Bronson quickly got a great job at NYU Langone (Violets family!), and Jennifer finally had the pleasure of meeting Bronson's Yale friends! Days were filled with fun nights out, the world's best takeout, and fulfilling work.
They'd had the big conversations very early on in the relationship, but it was after Bronson's first surgery that it became undeniably obvious they would get married. Few trials of a young relationship compare to the anxiety and love that emerges in caregiving.
On an extraordinary trip to a remote Nicaraguan island in the western Caribbean, Bronson proposed! After a week of watching inimitable sunrises, snorkeling with sharks, eating incredible food, and taking sunset cruises around the island, Bronson nervously got on one knee. The ring was perfect, and after Jennifer said yes they toasted with piña coladas and champagne while eating a private dinner by a bonfire on the beach.
A few more surgeries, brief long-distance period, move to Georgia, and overall chaotic engagement season later, all the couple knows is that they are meant to be. Even if everything else falls apart, they have each other, and that's all they need. They spend their days playing chess (lots and lots of chess), imagining what their dream home might look like (skylights in the kitchen and a guest house for the in-laws), planning extravagant adventures, talking about life and spirituality and beyond, eating too much Domino's, playing music (Bronson is a burdgeoning guitarist), playing video games, and updating a baby name list that's so long it's functionally useless!
Though their relationship has been full of unexpected obstacles and hard times, they're extremely proud of how they've navigated them. They have the unusual benefit of already knowing that "in sickness and in health" is a true vow. Even when the world outside is tough, their relationship has served as a refuge. Their marriage is truly a vocation, and one they can't wait to enter into.
Bronson and Jennifer are still deciding where they'll go on their honeymoon. After, they're excited to take advantage of the natural beauty of North Georgia for a few months before they make the big move closer to family. They aren't expecting anyone to read this far, so if you made it, mention your favorite part of their story in your note to the couple when you RSVP! You might end up with a fun surprise waiting for you on the big day!
