Maid of Honor
"Hi! I’m Mary Claire, I’m Amelia’s sister & maid of honor! I first met Amelia on the day I was born. She was my first best friend & has been my rock & my role model throughout my entire life. I have so many amazing memories from growing up with Amelia, & so many wonderful memories with her & Wade. They have been a package deal since 2011 & I cannot wait to be there to celebrate the beginning of the rest of their lives together. Wade has been like a brother to me for years & I cannot wait for that to finally be official!"

"I’m Elizabeth, Amelia’s oldest friend and Matron of Honor! I’ve known Amelia since kindergarten (20 years!) and we have been with each other through it all: mission trips, boy fasts, high school, heartbreaks, you name it. Amelia makes me laugh harder than anyone else and has always made me feel so loved and important. She is the biggest hype woman and the most caring best friend. Wade and Amelia are perfect together and not to brag but I’d like to think I set them up... I can’t wait to stand by their side on the big day! I love you both!"

"I was new to Indianapolis my Junior year of high school. I had a class with Amelia and Wade. One day, not sure why, I started laughing uncontrollably. They both stared at me like I was crazy and finally Amelia said “you’re really weird” and the rest is history!"
Bridesmaid
"So I have been BLESSED to know Wade forever, seeing as we are cousins so I didn’t have much of a choice on having him in my life…but Amelia and I met in high school and I instantly knew she was a special one. I have made so many memories with both Wade and Amelia and I cherish them all. My favorites are our trips to our cabin in Brown County together, even if it is in the middle of winter... Amelia Rose has always felt like family and I am so honored and excited that she will officially be part of the family forever!"
Bridesmaid
"My name is Emily and I’m Wade’s older (& wiser) sister. I have known Wade since 1994 and met Amelia when they first started dating in high school. I’m so excited they are FINALLY getting married. Counting down the days to August 22nd!"
Bridesmaid
"Hi everyone! I’m Anna, Amelia’s youngest sister. Since there are 8 years between us, Amelia and I have always gotten along pretty well and she’s always been a huge role model in my life. Because she and Wade have been together for so long, I can’t really remember a time without him around. He fits right in, so sometimes I forget there was a time when he wasn’t part of the family! I’m so excited to make that official on their special day!”

"I'm Jake and I love Amelia more than I love anyone on the planet. That is all."
Bridesmaid
"Hi I’m Sam! I’m Wade’s younger and funnier sister. I’ve known Amelia since she and wade started dating and Wade would set up dates for them in our family dining room. I can’t wait for Amelia to become a Knotts!"
Bridesmaid
"I'm Emily Damian, soon to be Amelia's sister-in-law! I first met Amelia when I started dating her brother 8 years ago. In the past 8 years we have grown a lot closer and she has become a big part of my life. Amelia and Wade are my favorite couple to double date with, especially for any and all beer festivals. I have really enjoyed watching them move in together, adopt a dog, and get engaged. I am so excited to be a part of their wedding and their adventures to come!"
Bridesmaid
"I am Elizabeth, Amelia's sister."

Wade and I have known each other for many years now and the memories we’ve shared have been countless and unforgettable. Between the walks on the beach in Rosemary Beach with Wade, Tucker and I, to the late nights in the cabin during deer season with our dads, no matter the situation I know that whenever Wade and I are together I know we are going to have a good time. I am incredibly happy and honored to be a part of the beginning of the life long journey between Wade and Amelia and I look forward to creating more memories with the both of them for years to come.
Groomsman
"Honestly, I don’t remember the first time I met Wade. It has always felt like we were friends since the beginning. However, many of my memories of Wade revolve around the time our families spent on vacation at Rosemary Beach, FL sharing a pullout couch between you, Collyn, and I. From night walks on the beach, to riding around the town playing bike tag at night, getting our sugar fill from the Sugar Shack, or simply watching The Lonely Island Boys music videos. Not only do I get to share these fond memories of Wade for the rest of my life, but I also get to work next to him every day. Clearly the better person won because Amelia snagged Wade from the rest of us, but she is a great addition to the crew and I am so honored to be a part of their celebration."
Groomsman
"Throughout the years, I think my favorite memories have to be our shared successes and failures in beer pong competitions. Whether at Brother’s Bar, our house in Bloomington, or your place in Broad Ripple, we’ve won and we’ve lost. BUT… we’ve always had fun. We all have won in “amateur” events, but also on the big stage (Brother’s weekly beer pong competition) – achievements I hope to remember for a long time. I’m incredibly grateful to share these memories with you both, but I’m even more happy to congratulate you two as you begin this journey together."

"My name is Corey & I currently live in AZ! I first met Wade as a freshman at IU as IN is my hometown. Wade & I lived on the same floor & Amelia would visit from MU & as you would imagine, my love for them quickly grew! We loved going to Ami for half-priced sushi freshman year & as Wade's roommate sophomore & senior year, we always had so much fun. We loved to have themed parties, travel to the Knotts family cabin, play & learn new games, or have binging marathons. From our adventures in IN to most recently Las Vegas, I've always been able to be myself with these two & I couldn't be any happier to celebrate this union! I have so many great memories with both Wade & Amelia that I couldn't just name one, but with this, I wish you two the best & am forever blessed to call you both my family."
Groomsman
"I'm Matt Siler, Amelia's favorite brother and soon to be Wade's favorite brother in law. I first met Wade when he was a puny high school kid with a crush on my sister. Of course, I played protective older brother but it was hard to be too mean to Wade. It's been great to watch the two of them grow up together and go through all of these major life events as a couple. They've become some of my closest friends over the last few years and I'm excited to officially welcome Wade to the family and watch them continue to grow together."

"After meeting Amelia in 6th grade health class we became the kind of “joined at the hip” can’t-say-one-name-without-the-other type of best friends. Through first dates, heartbreaks, day trips, and a slew of mischief and fun, going to different schools and the many miles between living states apart stood no chance of breaking the bond I have with this girl. Seeing her grow up with and marry the love of her life has been such a sweet gift. I can’t wait to stand by her as she and Wade kick off the rest of their lives together. Let’s get this party started!"

Hi I’m Andria! I’ve been friends with Amelia since high school and can’t imagine life any other way. We both have lived overseas, went to separate colleges, and now live in separate cities, but Amelia has always been a constant and a sense of home. To the most selfless friend on earth, I can’t wait to stand by YOU on YOUR day!
