Janie chose her sisters Ellie Stanek and Elizabeth Green as her bridesmaids, with her youngest sister Kathleen Peckham serving as Maid of Honor. The flower girls were Janie›s niece Gabrielle Novy, along with Nyla and Neve West (cousins of the bride) and Madeleine and Clara Nash (friends of the bride). Ryan Manke and Rory Manke served as their brother›s Best Men and longtime friend Eric Frankberg served as a groomsman. Ushers included Jesse Peckham, Will Peckham and John Paul Peckham, brothers of the bride.
