Wedding Party
Kim
Mother of the Bride
My mother, Kim, has been a guiding light for me my entire life. From teaching me life lessons to cheering me on in every adventure, she has always been there with love, encouragement, and unwavering support. Whether it's helping me pick out the perfect dress, offering words of encouragement, or simply holding my hand when I need her, she has been there through it all. She's not only my mother but my confidante, advisor and best cheerleader. She has shaped who I am with her kindness, patience and wisdom. As Mother of the Bride, she's been my partner in planning, my source of distraction through stress, and constant reminder of what love and family truly mean. I love her so much and am so lucky to share my special day with her.
Joe
Father of the Bride
My father, Joe, has always been my hero and the funniest, most loving man I know. He is the one who taught me to be brave, work hard, and face life with a smile and courage. From my earliest memories to today, he has been my guide, protector and biggest supporter, while also letting me learn on my own. He is shared in every milestone, offers wisdom when I need it most, and fills my life with laughter and love. His sense of humor is unlike anyone else's, but he is the most courageous person I know, and teaches me how to be at the same time. We have both always dreamt that he would walk me down the aisle someday, and the fact that it is becoming a reality is the most precious gift I could ever have. The relationship we have is the definition of the relationship a father should have with his daughter, and I am the luckiest woman in the world to have him as a parent.
Morgan
Matron of Honor
My Matron of Honor, Morgan, has been in my life since the day I was born, and there is truly no better way to describe her than my sister. As my mom's godchild, our bond was never a choice; it was simply always there, just like any sister relationship should be. She was a flower girl in my parents' wedding, I had the privilege of being a bridesmaid in her wedding 11 years ago, and now her little girl will walk down the aisle as a flower girl in mine. The fact that this moment has come full circle in such a beautiful way means more to me than words can express. She watched me grow up through every phase, and now I get to watch her babies grow up too. Having her as my Matron of Honor feels exactly what was always meant to be, and I love her so much.
Megan
Bridesmaid
Megan and I have been best friends since high school, but our bond truly grew into something special after graduation. From the moment we got close, it was clear that she was a forever kind of friend. She is the person I can laugh with until I can't breathe; whether we're playing with ridiculous Snapchat filters, or making fun of anyone who dared to get on our nerves. She brings so much joy, loyalty and humor into my life, and I couldn't imagine my special day without her!
Alyssa
Bridesmaid
Alyssa is one of those people who you just know was put in your life for a reason. She is quietly one of the most dependable, caring people I have ever met; whether I need someone to vent to or just someone to sit with me, and is always there without hesitation. She carries the most beautiful, positive energy, always finding the bright side no matter what life throws at her. Her presence in my life is something I am endlessly grateful for!
Emmy
Bridesmaid
When she gets going, Emmy will have me laughing until I'm in tears. She is someone who means everything she says, and never just tells me something that I want to hear. That is honestly something I deeply value in her, and she has this streak of craziness that just makes me love her even more. I cannot wait for her to be a ball of fun on my special day!
Audie
Bridesmaid
Audie came into my life through a mutual friend, but it didn't take long for her to become one of my people. She is never afraid to speak her mind; always with intention and truth behind her words. She has the most fun, electric energy that is impossible not to love, and she never fails to put a smile on my face. I am so lucky to have her as a bridesmaid!
Brittney
Bridesmaid
They say some people come into your life right when they're supposed to - but with Brittney, I truly wish it had been sooner. We met at a casual get-together and she was instantly so sweet and full of energy that we were already making future plans before the night was over. Overtime, our bond has become stronger, and since then, she has gone above and beyond planning my bridal shower. She has this almost supernatural ability to know what I mean before I can even explain what I said. In less than a year, she has become one of my best friends, and that says everything about who she is. I am so thankful to have her in my life!
Rachel
Bridesmaid
Rachel is someone who, from the very beginning, has shown me the kind of person she is through her actions; even though we haven't had the chance to spend a ton of time together in person, she has consistently checked in on me and offered her help throughout my whole wedding journey without hesitation. That kind of genuine, thoughtful energy is something I truly appreciate, and I am so glad to have her celebrating my special day with me.
Abigail
Bridesmaid
Abigail is William's younger sister who I have known since she was just 5 years old; back when she wanted nothing more than for me to carry her everywhere we went. Watching her grow into her early teen years and into the beautiful young woman she is today has been one of my favorite things. As an only child, she has given me something I never had - the feeling of having a little sister. This is her first time being in/at a wedding, and I have cherished every moment of this journey with her; from her witnessing me say yes to the dress, to picking out her bridesmaid dress and everything in between. I know that on my wedding day, getting her hair and makeup done and walking down the aisle alongside her dad, will be moments she carries with her forever.
Nora
Flower Girl
Nora is the daughter of my Matron of Honor and came into my life when she was just one month old. From the very moment that I met her and held her for the first time, she had my whole heart. Just like Morgan has been in my life since the day I was born, I have had the privilege of being in Nora's life from nearly the very beginning. She is the most incredible little soul; full of energy, kindness, and a beautiful way of speaking for a 5 year old that still stops me in my tracks. She is every bit my niece as her mom is my sister. Choosing Nora as my flower girl felt like the only option, continuing the most beautiful tradition that started with Morgan being the flower girl in my parents' wedding. When I see Nora walk down that aisle, sprinkling flowers and bringing her own little touch of sparkle and joy to our day, I already know I will be overwhelmed by just how full circle this time truly is. She holds one of the most special places in my heart, and I feel like the luckiest person in the world to have both her and Morgan in my life. Truly more than I could ever deserve.
Thea
Flower Girl
Thea has had her own personality from day one, and honestly, I think that is what makes her so impossible not to love. I have known this little girl since she was a baby, and she has grown into the happiest, most entertaining little spirit who does things entirely on her own terms, and we love her so much for it. Her mom Kaitlyn is an incredible mother and like a sister to William, and Thea is a true reflection of Kaitlyn. While William is like her uncle, I get the joy of cheering her on like only a proud auntie figure can. Seeing her walk down the aisle alongside Nora; two little girls in their own little world, is a moment I already know will steal the show.
Paul
Best Man
Paul is my grandfather and William's best man, but is also William's grandfather in every way that matters. He is someone William can turn to when he needs guidance, but more than that, he is someone Willam loves deeply and trusts completely. The two of them can feel a bond by just sitting together and not even saying a word; that's the kind of love my grandfather gives. To be able to witness and know the bond between the two of them is something I will cherish forever. He is always there for William and I, and we are both so honored to have him as best man.
Tony
Groomsman
Tony is William's father, and the foundation of who he is today. He has taught William everything that matters - how to work, love, and how to be the kind of person worth knowing. He has been William's hero through it all, and when he had two health scares, it showed William just how much he means to him. His father has done everything for him, and is the reason William has the people in his life who he loves today.
Gage
Groomsman
Gage is one of William's best friends and they always do so much together. Gage is the guy who taught him that some of the best conversations happen over good food and better music. They have spent countless hours cooking together, bowling and hanging out with a beer, bonded by the fact that they were both raised by hardworking dads who knew how to get things done. Gage is the kind of friend who makes everything better.
Ray
Groomsman
Ray and William go way back to high school history class, but their real bond formed when he started working with Willam seasonally on the show booth business that his dad owns. Ray is the guy he calls when he needs something done fast and right. They have traveled together, shared countless laughs - like the time they got stranded in Atlanta for 4 days after William accidentally put gas in his dad's diesel truck. But most importantly, they bonded over their shared faith. Ray is hilarious, reliable, and honestly, is more like a brother than a friend to William.
Paul
Groomsman
Paul walked into William's life as a customer at his workplace and never left. He has quickly become like a father figure to William - he is the guy he can call when he needs advice, a hand with the business, or just someone to talk to. Paul has that kind of wisdom that only comes with time, and he has always shown up for William without asking for anything in return.
Jaxson
Groomsman
Jaxson is someone who has always been there for William, no matter what life throws at them. He is loyal, shows up, and is someone William can always count on for real advice. They bond over their similar sense of humor, and genuinely just enjoy each other's company; whether they're at a party at Jaxson's house, or just talking about life, and honestly bears a striking resemblance to Prince Charming from Shrek, but with darker hair. Overall, we are so lucky to have Jaxson celebrate our special day with us.
Griffin
Groomsman
Griffin is the fun wildcard in William's life and friend group. He is always doing something crazy and making the group laugh, but underneath all that, he is genuinely kind hearted and has worked incredibly hard to get where he is today. He has always been there for William through thick and thin, and his loyalty and humor means everything to him. We can't wait for the fun firecracker in him to come out on our wedding day!
Dylan
Groomsman
William and Dylan haven't known each other too long, but in the last 3 years, he has become that steady, easy-going presence; whether they're just shooting the breeze, hitting Vegas or sharing laughs with his girlfriend Brittney, who is also one of Amy's best friends and bridesmaids. Dylan is just that guy William can always count on.
Cody
Groomsman
William and Cody have been best friends for 5 years, and it has been a whirlwind; from their wild "munchy-gang" nights, to that rainy drive in Miami going to try to get a motorcycle that Cody knew he wasn't allowed to have. Whether its his health, wisdom, car obsession, or just being that unpredictable spark, he makes every moment unforgettable.
