Maid of Honor
Grace is a brand new teacher! She and Brie's friendship began at Careerline Tech Center in their Agriculture and Natural Resources class.

Bridesmaid
Mikalia (Mike) is a medical assistant for a wound clinic and have been friends with the bride since high school. Brie introduced Mike to the wonderful life of owning an Australian Shepard about 5 years ago. Her name is Luna and every day she gives Mike a run for her money, but she loves play dates with Ace (Brie's dog) and throwing the Frisbee 24/7. When not hanging out with Luna Mike loves reading with two cats curled up on her lap or going on adventures with Brie. Another pass time would include beating her husband at playing card or board games. Mike is super exited for the bride and groom as their new chapter starts in life together.
Bridesmaid
Madison works as a veterinary nurse at an emergency hospital, which is also were she met Brie. Their first adventure as friends was a road trip to Cuyahoga Valley National Park, one of the many things they have since bonded over. Madison loves sharing the outdoors and her love of animals with Brie, along with many laughs, games, and good food (and of course her brother, Collin). Madison can't wait to officially become family, and looks forward to a lifetime of fun adventures with a new sister!
Bridesmaid
Kathryn is a board certified behavior analyst, working with children and young adults. Kathryn and Brie met in a microbiology lab while attending college. While Kathryn and Brie live on opposite sides of the country, the friendship is anything but distant. No matter the changes life has brought, Brie has been a steadfast friend whose companionship has never faltered. When there's multiple hours to spare, FaceTime is where you can find them.
Groom

Best Man
Andrew is a cyber security consultant by weekday and valet runner by weekend. Andrew first met Collin through mutual friends during the Covid shutdown. Since then, the common similarities of guns, games, and food (sounds like a great tv show) has spurred countless adventures with the hopes of many more.
Groomsman
Adam met both Collin and Brie through his girlfriend, Madison. He works as a Best Buy manager and worked together with Collin for many years. Adam has been a part of the Gabriel family for the past 14 years, and has been on every adventure big and small and is happy to have Brie along for the ride. Adam has enjoyed his and Brie's light-hearted and sarcastic relationship throughout the years, and knows there will be many more memories to be had!

Ring Bearer
Or should we say Ring Bear(er)? Ace is Brie's sweet boy who easily wormed his way into Collin's heart (and lap). No important day would be complete without our sweet bear by our side!
