Wedding Party

Alyssa Bella

Maid of Honor

Alyssa and I met in New Carlisle, IN where we lived in the same neighborhood and also went to high school together. Our relationship went from sharing a high school locker to going to different colleges (I will forgive her for being a Hoosier, but don't tell her that) to living together in an apartment in West Lafayette to now being states away as Alyssa tackles the Big Apple-New York City. No matter where life takes us, no matter where we roam, when I'm with Alyssa, my heart feels at home. Now she will be standing right by my side on the biggest day of my life as I say I do!

Natalie Brooks

Maid of Honor

Natalie and I met during our freshman year at Purdue University. We lived in the same dorm, but on different floors. We were introduced through my roommate at the time and instantly we were inseparable. It also just so happened that we shared so much in common-having the same major in college, both being Purdue basketball fanatics, and an everlasting love for Harry's Chocolate Shop. We decided from that moment on that we were going to live together throughout our college years at Purdue. I wouldn't have imagined it any other way and I am beyond thankful that going to Purdue brought Natalie into my life. I will remain Ever Grateful, Ever True to have met a friend like YOU- BOILER UP!

Nicole Rehlander

Bridesmaid

Nicole and I met in high school as Zach, Nicole's husband, and Jeremiah, my soon to be husband, were inseparable. Nicole and I played tennis together in high school and as fate would have it we later became roommates at Purdue. The time we spent at Purdue together made my college experience all the more memorable. Jeremiah and I look forward to our continued relationship with Zach and Nicole as we have lots to learn about married life with their guidance. I am so thankful for the joy that Nicole brings into my life!

Jenna Burke

Bridesmaid

Jenna is Jeremiah's sister. Throughout Jeremiah and I's relationship I've been fortunate enough to witness the special sibling bond that Jeremiah and Jenna share. Jenna has always welcomed me in to the Burke family. Jenna is my go to person for country music concerts, brewery dates, and genuine heart to heart conversations. I can't wait to be Jenna's sister!

Kelsey Gurtner

Bridesmaid

Kelsey and I are cousins and let me start by saying that we grew up more like sisters. I have so many fond memories of holidays together surrounded by family, which would typically end in me crying or hiding when we were young because I didn't want to leave since I was having too much fun with Kels. Kelsey and I had similar interest growing up, so much so that in high school that meant guarding each other on the basketball court. Then came college and Kelsey and I both went to Purdue University where we continued making memories together. I think this perfectly sums up Kelsey and I's relationship: "we weren't sisters at birth, but we knew from the start- we were put on this earth to be sisters at heart."

Alyssia Smith

Bridesmaid

Alyssia and I met in high school when we played basketball together. Alyssia was two years older than me, so she took me under her wing and she always pushed me to be a better basketball player and person. Even now, she continues to inspire me to be my best self! Despite the distance our friendship has endured, when we see each other it seems no time has passed because we can pick up right where we left off! I cherish our visits that we have with one another and the memories we've made over the years!

Ellen Randall

Bridesmaid

Ellen is Blake's fiancé and my future sister-in law. From the moment Blake brought Ellen home to meet our family, I knew she was the one for him. Ellen fit in to our family right from the beginning so effortlessly. Not only do I feel so excited to gain a new sister, but also a new friend. Ellen and I have bonded over all of the common interests and personality traits that we share. To have Ellen become a part of our family makes us feel so blessed!
