May 3, 2025: The Ring Flip

He walked down the aisle ahead of us.

Nearly 28 years ago on our big day, we had a young ring bearer: Jessica’s first cousin, Jake.

He was about five. Sharp and handsome, he rocked a tiny black suit like a kindergartner on a Paris runway.

And he performed his role flawlessly.

Whatever happened to that little guy? Jake grew into a standout baseball player, eventually drafted by the Chicago White Sox.

Today brought a full-circle moment: I had the honor of officiating his wedding. He's come a long way, from ring bearer to ring giver. And he hit a grand slam with an amazing bride.

Congrats, Jake and Kacey.
