The Future Smiths
Wedding Party
Becca Sadik
Matron of Honor
Becca and I have been asked if we are sisters enough times that we have just started saying, "yes," because it truly fits the role we play in each other's lives. Becca has been the most genuine, constant, soul-filling friend a girl could ever ask for, and I could never imagine this day without her by my side!
Ashley Knauer
Matron of Honor
Ashley is one of my nearest and dearest friends, and has been for nearly two decades. She is fierce, and she is funny, and her compassion knows no bounds. I am so grateful for the role she has played in my life, through so many seasons, and could never imagine today without her!
Katherine Arledge
Bridesmaid
Katherine is, quite literally, the most hilarious person I have ever met, and she is also the most wonderful, steadfast friend. The laughter she has brought to my life over all our years of friendship has truly made my life richer in every sense. She is fierce, passionate, and whip-smart, and I couldn't imagine my wedding day, or my life, without her!
Taylor Bonds
Bridesmaid
Taylor is probably the person I spent the most total hours with throughout all of college. From two different majors together, to escapades in our sweet little yellow house, to adventures now, Tay is just the most fun, and she is ALWAYS in my corner. Her loyalty is so special to me, and I am so glad she will be standing next to me!
Hannah Conrad
Bridesmaid
Hannah and I literally and figuratively grew up together. I am so grateful that in so many formative experiences in life, she has been right by my side. Hannah just "gets me" in a way many others never could, and I am so proud of how far we have come. My wedding wouldn't be complete without her!
Jeannie Wise
Bridesmaid
Jeannie has become such an special friend in my life. We like to tease Jeannie that it is her world and we are just living in it, but there's no other world I would rather live in! She is the kindest, most caring friend, and her friendship, and constant hospitality on Chicago visits, are so dear to me. I'm so glad she will be standing beside me!
Olivia Van Praag
Bridesmaid
Olivia's friendship is such a treasure to me. I do not think I have ever met someone who cares for their friends as intentionally as Olivia. I am truly so lucky to be on the receiving end of her constant generosity and intentionality, and I am thrilled to have her by my side for my wedding day and every other day, too!
Katelyn Smiley
Bridesmaid
Katelyn and I suffered through our awkward middle school days together and managed to come out on the other side. I will forever be grateful for her friendship, and her deep empathy, intelligence, and absolutely brutally dry sense of humor make her one of my favorite people. I am so glad she is here on my wedding day!
Cassidy Leum
Bridesmaid
Cass is one of my favorite people because she is always down for a good time and she ALWAYS has her people's backs. Her fun-spirited nature paired with her cutting wit and fierce loyalty make her a force to be reckoned with, and I am so blessed that from kindergarten until now, she has been a bright part of my life!
Allison Gardner
Bridesmaid
Allison is my soon-to-be sister-in-law, and Aaron's big sister, and I am so glad she was around to keep her brother in line for me up to now! I admire Allison so much for her gentle spirit and patience, and I hope to be half the mother she is one day. As someone who always wanted a big sister of my own, I really feel like I hit the jackpot with Allison!
Katie Schaschwary
Bridesmaid
Drew's Katie, as we lovingly call her, is the other half of our Katie duo in the Smith family. Katie's joy and laugh are utterly contagious, and her deep care and love for others make her such a sweet friend to have in my life. I always feel so supported and celebrated with Katie, and I am so glad to gain her as a sister!
