Maid of Honor
Mia has been with Bobby and I before we became "Bobby and I". Every twist and turn, we know that Mia will be there. Before college at West Chester and even long before working at Rita's and LAFitness together, Mia somehow bullied me into being friends with her in high school and for that, I am so grateful! She is that person who will always have my back, listening to my worst days and celebrating my best. Her courage, love, and honesty are what allow me to say that I am honored to have her stand next to me on the greatest day of my life.
Best Man
Some call him Kyle, Stew, Stewie, Big head. But I call him my brother. You have your immediate family than you have those people you meet in life that become your family and Kyle is every bit that and some. From covering the entire outfield while he was on the mound to covering for me when I was somewhere I shouldn't have been, we've always had one another's backs. I could go on for days about Stewie, but put simply, he truly is the Best Man. Someone I am happy to have, not only for Shaina and I's day, but for life.
Bridesmaid
Kristi and I are proof that real friendship is not about the length of time that you know someone, but what they bring to your life. Kristi and I clicked. She is my personal uplifting cheer leader who supports me, my essential oil guru, and a key part of my teacher tribe.
Groomsman
Brian and I met working alongside one another at LA Fitness. It became apparent rather quickly that we're practically the same person. Both super competitive, have a strong work ethic, and beer pong skills that come second to none. He's the friend everyone needs to shoot you straight no matter what the situation or stance of others are. He's a man I truly respect and admire and am happy to have with me on my day.
Bridesmaid
Nita is one of the amazing women I will now be able to officially call one of my sisters. She gives the greatest advice. She tells us both how it is without bias or judgement. Her confidence is contagious and I cannot wait to be on the dance floor with her!
Groomsman
Dwight is my older brother. He's been the man I looked up to and wanted to emulate throughout my whole childhood. He's done just about everything before I had a chance to and has always given advice on those situations. It's a weird feeling getting married before him and not being able to get advice this go around, but I know I will be alright since he'll be by my side.
Bridesmaid
Kelley is another new sister I get to look up to! She has the kindest heart. From day one, she has made me feel like part of the family. She has proven time and time again that we can always count on her.
Groomsman
Ryan's my little brother, we fight.... a lot. However, there is no doubt about it that I'm closer with him than any of my other siblings. We're only 2 years apart and have done just about everything in life together (I've just done it better.) Everything we get involved in we strive to be the best, which is why I have no doubt he'll be so reliable to this days success.
Bridesmaid
Another loving sister to add to the mix! Sam will never fail to make me laugh. When we were introduced, she instantly made me feel comfortable to be myself around her. I know that if I'm looking for honesty, she is the one to talk to.
Groomsman
Having lived with Shaina and Austin these last few years, he's practically already family. This day just makes it official. He hates getting dressed up, which might make him Shaina and I's biggest challenge of the day, but I know that when push comes to shove he'll do just about anything for his sister.
Bridesmaid
Mara is that special person that everyone deserves in life. She is my person no matter what. We have laughed, cried, said some of the weirdest things imaginable, and shared all corners of our life together. 28 years of friendship down, the rest of our lives to go! She is my honorary bridesmaid, as she will be welcoming two precious miracles into this world. Even if she is not with us in person on our day, she will most definitely be felt in our hearts in each moment.
