Wedding Party
Isabella Stanich
Maid of Honor
Introducing My Maid of Honor, Isabella Isabella and I met right before college when she and her sister, Gianna, came to tour PFW. From the very first day, we hit it off so well that we all agreed—we had to go to school together. The rest is history! We became roommates and spent countless hours cooking up storms in the kitchen, making some of my favorite memories together. When it came time to choose my maid of honor, Isabella was the first person who came to mind. She’s one of the most generous, kind, and thoughtful people I know—always willing to help and always there when you need her most. She’s not just a lifelong friend to me, but to Devin as well, and we’re both so thankful to have her in our lives. Isabella is originally from Ohio, loves Disney, and has a special place in her heart for travel. But one of my favorite things about her? She’s an incredible chef. I’m usually the one cooking and sharing food with others (which I love!), but she’s one of the rare people who returns the favor—and every time she does, it’s amazing. She’s a true friend, a sister in every way that matters, and I couldn’t imagine taking this next step in life without her by my side.
Gianna Stanich
Bridesmaid
Introducing My Bridesmaid, Gianna Gianna is Isabella’s sister, but she’s also one of my closest friends and former college roommates. We met the same way—right before starting at PFW—and quickly became inseparable. She was actually one of the first people to meet Devin and got to witness our relationship from the very beginning (which feels like a lifetime ago now!). She saw firsthand how his humor and kind heart lit up my life, and she was always there to share in our little moments. The three of us spent plenty of time together watching reality TV, and Devin was always a good sport about third-wheeling with us. Gianna and I also ran cross country and track together at PFW, which was where our bond first started—we both loved fitness. But over time, that connection grew into so much more. She’s like a second sister to me, someone who helped me take life a little less seriously, be more present, and truly understand what friendship is all about. Even though we live farther apart now, that hasn’t changed a thing. She’ll always be one of my best friends, and I’m so grateful she’s part of this special day in our lives!
Kyra Anderson
Bridesmaid
Introducing My Bridesmaid, Kyra Kyra and I met in high school through cross country, and from there, our friendship became part of a special bond that kept our senior team close—even long after graduation. Running miles and miles every day can be grueling, but Kyra always had the best attitude. Not necessarily by always staying positive, but by finding the humor in the tough moments and helping everyone see the light, no matter what. And when you’re suffering through cross country together, that kind of spirit is everything. What I loved most about our time running wasn’t just the competition—it was the friendships. The sweat, the tears, the long runs in the heat or cold—all of it was made worth it by having each other. And even now, even though we’re not competing like we used to, we’ve found new ways to stay connected—like our long walks with our dogs, George and Banshee, who are best friends just like us! Kyra’s attitude on life is something I’ve always admired. No matter how much time passes or how much life changes, at heart, she’s still the same kind, loyal, and true friend she’s always been. I’m so thankful for all the years of friendship we’ve already shared and for all the years still to come!
Doria Crutchley
Bridesmaid
Introducing My Sister-in-Law, Doria It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating Doria and Conner’s wedding, and now, here we are, celebrating another big moment together. From the very beginning, I’ve admired Doria and the way she lights up every room she walks into. She has an undeniable presence—warm, radiant, and full of heart. She is unapologetically herself in the best way possible—beautiful, kind, and effortlessly magnetic. Anyone lucky enough to know her can’t help but love her. One of the things I admire most about Doria is the incredible mother she has become to Abraham. She makes it look so natural, even though I know it’s anything but easy. Watching the two of them together is something special—it’s clear that being a mom is just part of who she is. And of course, there’s that laugh—the kind that fills every space and is absolutely contagious. I love her outlook on life, her ability to be a true friend to those who need one, and the way she brings so much love and joy into the lives of the people around her. Today, I officially gain a sister, but in so many ways, it’s felt like she’s always been my big sister. I’m so thankful for her and for the lifelong bond we share.
Feven Donaldson
Bridesmaid
Introducing My Sister-in-Law, Feven Feven is my younger sister-in-law, and from the moment I met her, I admired her strength, conviction, and heart. She is strong-willed in the best way—never afraid to stand up for what she believes in and always staying true to herself. I think we could all use a little more of that kind of courage in our own lives, and I know I certainly could. Today, I’m not just gaining one sister—I’m gaining two! While we haven’t always been the closest, that has never changed the love I have for her. Family is about more than just time spent together; it’s about the bond that continues to grow, and I’m so thankful she’s part of this day for both Devin and me.
