Meet our family and friends who we couldn't imagine this day without!

Ashley Rogers

Maid of Honor

◦Ashley and I have known each other forever-quite literally. Over the years we have been compared more times than we can count, and while I used to roll my eyes about that, I now take it as a compliment. She’s sassy, hilarious, passionate, my other half, and my forever best friend. I couldn’t imagine this day without her by my side. ◦Fun Fact: Ashley is getting married later this year, in August! Talk about “twinning”, am I right?! ◦Years of Friendship: 26

Ali Schitter

Bridesmaid

◦Ali and I’s friendship didn’t blossom until my freshman year and Ali’s sophomore year of high school. Our friendship has grown more than either of us could have imagined. You know that person you can share your deepest, darkest, secrets with? That’s Ali. Ali knows my heart. Ali feels like home. ◦Fun Fact: Ali and I are 3rd cousins! ◦Years of Friendship: 11-ish?

Natalie Lorenzano

Bridesmaid

◦Natalie and I first became friends when my brother, Luke, started dating her in 2016! Natalie says that she first met me after a Purdue/IU game that fall, and was nervous to meet Luke’s hard-core, Purdue fan family. Natalie is beautiful, inside and out, and instantly makes friends with the people around her, something I admire about her most. Natalie is my hopeful future sister-in-law (Luke, I hope you are reading this). ◦Fun Fact: Natalie wanted to be a veterinarian for a long time prior to deciding to become a dentist, she was a 500 Festival Princess in 2015, and she did an exchange program in England for dental school. She’s pretty awesome! ◦Years of Friendship: 5

Lauren Neuhoff

Bridesmaid

◦Lauren is my younger cousin, but we both think of each other as sisters. Our friendship has come a long way since childhood, and we share a lifetime (literally) of memories together. Lauren has always made me proud. She’s the sweetest person you’ll ever meet, she’s absolutely GORGEOUS, and she has a strong faith that I admire so deeply. Lauren is about to graduate from the University of Tennessee and head off to grad school to pursue her dreams of becoming an SLP. ◦Fun Fact: Lauren is left-handed 🙃 ◦Years of Friendship: 22

Madeline Wagner

Bridesmaid

◦Madeline and I first met after I slid into Madeline’s Facebook DMs in the hopes of finding a roommate for her freshman year of college at the University of Kentucky. No better way to become best friends with someone than by sharing a dorm room at the most run-down women’s dorm on your college campus. Distance has tried to keep our friendship apart over the years, but it has only helped our friendship grow stronger. ◦Fun Fact: Madeline is currently in grad school at Marian University with plans to become a Nurse Anesthetist! Rumor has it she used to do my chemistry homework for me in college.... ◦Years of Friendship: 8

Emily Messmer

Bridesmaid

◦Emily & I grew up 2 doors down from one another & we’ve been friends ever since. Most of our friendship was characterized by calling each other’s house phones (which we both still have memorized) & asking, “can you play?”. From lemonade stands, play-dates in the backyard, high school graduation, wedding planning, & more; our friendship has remained constant. Emily is the type of friend that you know will be there for you 20+ years down the road and is someone you can always count on, no matter how much life changes. ◦Fun Fact: I was a bridesmaid in Emily’s wedding in 2018! Her marriage advice: “Always remember the little things are just as important as the big things. Always make time for each other no matter how crazy life gets.” ◦Years of Friendship: 26
