Maid of Honor
No matter the petty fights, annoying habits, the tears of frustration she might have caused... She's the smartest, bravest, and most beautiful sister in the world. She's my best-friend and my maid of honor!
Best Man
We've been friends for over a decade. He's been your typical best friend and bad influence including climbing trees after a squirrel that takes a dollar from you. He's always been there for me, I couldn't think of a better best man to stand next to me on this special day. You could say it’s a bromance, but it might be more than that. (and Brooke’s trying not to be jealous).
Bridesmaid
My cousin Morgan has always been one of the sweetest girls I've ever met. She has such a kind heart, I love her so much.
Groomsman
We met in our high school English class where we were forced to be partners on a project, we've been good friends ever since. Tolan is one of the most loyal and trustworthy guys I know and couldn't have picked a better friend. He may seem strange at first, but he's got some good jokes.
Bridesmaid
Ashley is Morgan's sister, and also my cousin. Ashley is such a goofball. She just knows how to make you laugh, even if you don't feel like it.
Groomsman
I met Isaac sophomore year of high school when he was a freshman. Isaac is one of my friends, he currently plays football at Saint Norbert's. Isaac is a chill and laid back guy who is easy to start a conversation with.
Bridesmaid
Kalyn is Austin's younger sister. She is one of the goofiest and silliest people on the planet and can make you laugh even on a bad day. She is pretty, daring, caring, a great friend, and an even better sister. Even if she only comes to our house to play with the dogs! You know you can always count on her and we couldn't be happier she will be standing up in the wedding!
Groomsman
Matt is a friend of mine who is also Joel's older brother. I've also known him for over a decade. He's recently started a family of his own with his wife Danica. He and I shared a lot of late night video gaming sessions. (He may have won most of our games, but I still think I won most in my head.)
Bridesmaid
I met Felicia 2 years ago, when we first started working together at Humana. She was very scary to me at first I thought she was going to be mean. We got partnered up to be on calls together one of us took calls while the other listened. She blew me away by how kind and sweet she was, she wasn't mean or scary at all. We became good friends from that day on. I am so glad we met she's one of my bestest friends. I can't say enough good things about Felicia. Side note she also has the most beautiful daughter!
Groomsman
I met Evan when I was sophomore and he was a freshman. We've gone to the movies together, played video games, watched football, and even played football together. He's an outstanding one of a kind guy, can't say enough good things about him.
Officiant
Scott is my (Austin's) second cousin. He taught me how to play cards like sheep-head and what NOT to play cause he'd lose a lot of money at the end of the night. We are still playing with his burnt coins to this day. Scott is a loving husband and father to his daughter Joelle. Scott is very family orientated, hard-working, and self-less. We can't thank Scott enough for agreeing to marry us.
Usher
If you didn't see by the last name.. This is my uncle Jason my dad's brother. He is also my God father. Jason is a goofball too. There are to many good Jason stories to sum up in this box. If you want a conversation starter ask him about the pressure cooker top that was dropped down the drain story and Martin Hardware (You won't be sorry you did.)
Usher
Tom is Austin's great uncle, he may not like to admit they are related but when he does he sure likes to put emphases on the GREAT part. Austin's worked for Tom for 3-4 years, he's always been a great role model and a good example of how a man should act. Tom has taught (or tries to teach) him valuable life lessons.
Ring Bearer
My cousin Lincoln, is Jason Vassallo's little boy. He sure is cute, but he can be a stinker. Stinky-Lincy. You can ask almost any of the Vassallo's the story of Lincoln aka 2tuggs.
Flower Girl
Austin's known Desi for over five years. Desi is one of Kalyn's friends who's become a close part to their family. Kalyn and Desi have been on the same dance team. Desi has come to many of their family get together's. She's not shy to ask to play with our dogs either.
Reader
Kevin is Austin's God Father. They've spent many good times together while I was growing up from showing Austin his pet fish, playing video games, or even just occasional errands.
Mother of the Bride
My mom is my best-friend. We are so similar! It's only taken her 23 years to admit that I am her favorite daughter. (Not that there is much competition.. I AM KIDDING.) She's the best mom anyone could've asked for, I am the luckiest daughter in the world to have a mom that has worked and does work so hard for me, loves me, and supports me. She may finally have an empty nest at home now, but she never seems to have an empty heart. Thank you mom, for believing in me even if I couldn't believe in myself. Thank you for helping me make my dream wedding a reality.
Father of the Bride
I love my dad. He can have rough days, and there may be hard times. He's always there for you though, and supports you, pushes you to do your best. He's the most reliable dad in the world, if you need something I can always count on my dad to come through. But, he's also just fun to be around. He has some of the best stories, and is probably one of the best cribbage players I've ever come up against (..don't tell Austin..) If I ever have a problem my dad is the worlds #1 problem solver! My dad is my hero.
Mother of the Groom
My mom's recently re-married to her husband Brian. They are now sharing a wonderful life together. If you happen to meet her please congratulate her on her recent marriage. You can also ask her about the time I got "Tiggered", Christmas Tree Hide N Seek, or my Rafter Stiches. My mom and I have shared so many countless memories throughout the years.
Father of the Groom
I've known my dad for about 24 years now. The first few years I had no idea who this weirdo was giving me my snacks, today I still ask that question but I don't care as much because it's FOOD. He taught me how to ride bike, and taught me about sports, and all the other good dad stuff. We've shared so many laughs over the years, and I am sure more are to come. If you are looking for a good story though to kill the time, ask him about the stitches I got in my lip at Chuck E Cheese.
