Maid of Honor
We met in first grade. We've been through almost everything together. From first days of schools, first boyfriends, first cars (Oliver the golden van! and Koby the Cobalt), dance recitals, and everything in between.
Best Man
Rob and I met our freshman year of college. He started out as just a kid from Massachusetts, but we quickly became friends. We've been through a lot together over the past few years. School problems, relationship trials and tribulations, and everything in between. He encouraged me and Alaina more than anyone. I wouldn't want to have anyone else standing at my side for my wedding day.
Bridesmaid
Kaytie! We also met in the first grade and we were a trio. She basically lived at my house during the weekends through out high school. We got each other through the heavy stuff while going through a lot of boxes of hair dye with each other and then managing to make each other laugh and create great memories.
Groomsman
Henry came as a package deal with Rob. He was always up to go on late night adventures and deal with the stupid stuff we did. Henry has always had our backs and supported everyone through their struggles. I think Henry is just as excited for the wedding as we are!
Bridesman
aka Slippery Elm. My college lab partner, study buddy, and one of my best friends. From countless hours trying to teach him excel to him trying to teach me bird names, I couldn't have survived my Wildlife degree or practicum without him. From azimuth 2, three-legged foxes, the snipe, countless Blink 182 van drives, there are too many inside jokes and memories to list with him.
Groomsman
Luke was always the friend I could be nerdy with. We bonded over video games and our mutual dislike of people. He suffered through being my roommate, and he always kept a cool head. He has always been up for doing stupid things with all of us. On our wedding day, he gets to be the cool head and voice of reason so we don't go crazy from the stress!
Bridesmaid
My older sister. She is there when I need here and always supports me where ever life has taken me. She also loves her dogs almost as much as I love mine. She has the best hand writing (sure to be exhibited at the wedding) and some of the best stories.
Junior Bridesmaid
My first niece. She is determined and creative and already shares my passion for animals.
Officiant
Jeff is Zach's awesome step-father. He has been a major part of our lives and relationship and we are so happy to have him lead our ceremony!
