Wedding Party

Courtney Trotter

Maid of Honor

Amber and Courtney’s story starts with family — their dad and mom are brother and sister, which of course makes them cousins. Growing up, whenever Amber was at her dad’s house, she was usually at Courtney’s house too. What began as cousins spending time together quickly turned into an unbreakable best-friend bond. From childhood memories to lifelong inside jokes, their friendship was built on family, constant time together, and a love that’s been there from the very beginning.

Monica Rush

Bridesmaid

Amber and Monica met their freshman year in ICP class, where they were part of a small group and often paired up as partners. What started as a classroom friendship quickly turned into something much bigger as they began spending more time together outside of school. From that point on, they’ve been inseparable. Through all the crazy adventures, the breakups, the laughter, and every season in between, they’ve stood by each other’s side through it all — building a friendship that has only grown stronger with time.

Haylie Norris

Bridesmaid

Amber and Haylie share more than just memories — they share the same mom and a lifetime of growing up side by side. As sisters, they’ve walked through childhood, milestones, and some of life’s harder seasons together. Through it all, their bond has only grown stronger. No matter what they faced, Haylie has always been more than just a little sister — she has truly been Amber’s built-in best friend from the very beginning.

Angela McFadden

Bridesmaid

Amber and Angela first met through Kolton’s mom, Debbie. At the time, Angela would often come into Chicagos for lunch while Amber was working, and over those visits she witnessed Amber walk through her very first pregnancy — seeing firsthand how challenging that season was. What started as friendly conversations across the counter slowly grew into something deeper. Before long, they were meeting up for walks, talking for hours, and pouring their hearts out to each other. Through shared vulnerability, encouragement, and lots of laughter, their friendship naturally blossomed into the close bond they cherish today.
