Maid of Honor
My sister, my maid of honor.. I'm so thankful for her and all of her many talents (I mean, would we have been able to pull off any of this without her hair curling, arch-making, crocheting ability?) From the bossy little girl with the bowl cut to the woman she's become, I can't wait for her to continue to boss me around on my special day :) I wouldn't be here without her
Bridesmaid
Kait, my animal-loving sister. I'm so thankful she'll be with us on our special day. From all of the dancing routines she lead us through to the animal re-enactments, I wouldn't want it any other way. As long as she doesn't ration the wedding cake like she used to with the m&ms :)
Bridesmaid
Shelbi, my first best friend. From eating chips in our carseats (if you know, you know) to the matching haircuts we had, we were truly best friends since birth. I'm so thankful she'll be there on our special day (even if we can't compare to spending time with her pups)
Bridesmaid
Ashton, my newest sister. I'm so thankful I get to gain another sister and that she'll be with us on our wedding day. I'll try to keep her brother from driving her too crazy (but I can only do so much). P.S. Austin is thankful for you too, pigeon.
Best Man
We are so thankful for Stephen and that he is going to be Austin's best man. Good luck keeping Austin acting right during the wedding. Don't worry Stephen, we won't make you pay for dinner or cake :)
Groomsman
We are so glad not only Cameron agreed to be in the wedding, but his wife and babies too! We are so thankful for them and that they'll be there to support us on our special day (even if he'd rather be hunting or fishing)
Groomsman
Chris, Austin's childhood friend. From the late night basketball games to all of the inside jokes, we are so thankful he will be there to support us on our wedding day. You're next buddy!
Groomsman
Josh, Dellani's brother and Austin's newest brother. We are so thankful for you and all of the SOS calls when one of our cars is messed up or we want to know if you can hear the noise we hear.. I'm so excited you and Tiffany will be there with us on our special day.
Mother of the Bride
My mom has always been my biggest supporter and cheerleader since the day I was born. From running me all over the country for softball to cheering me on throughout school and graduation, I couldn't have asked for anything better. I'm so excited for her to be there on our special day and for her to continue to cheer us on as we start our life together. Hopefully she doesn't get too emotional; don't worry mom, I'll always leave some of my clothes and shoes at your house to remember me by :)
Father of the Groom
People often say that a son is the clearest reflection of his father in the world. If that is the case, it again proves that Austin is able to show love because he has been shown love. P.J. is able to serve as an example for Austin (even if it leads to him cheering for teams who continually have a losing record). We are so thankful for P.J. and Ashley and can't wait for them to celebrate with us.
Mother of the Groom
They say a boy's first hero and forever friend is his mom. We believe that to be true, but also an understatement for their relationship. From the day Austin was born, Shawn raised him to be kind and independent. He has taken those morals and the love that he was shown and is now able to reciprocate it to Dellani and all of the people he encounters day to day. He has a heart made of gold, and it is because that is what he has been raised around. We're so thankful for Shawn and Jay and can't wait for them to celebrate with us.
Flower Girls
We are so thankful these precious babies are going to be our flower girls! They'll steal the show for sure! :)
Ring Bearer
There is no one else I'd rather have as my ring bearer than my Theodore Gilbert. He'll do anything for snacks :) nothing will stop him from being there unless his mom gets too nervous about the possibility of geese at the wedding. My buddy forever
