Best Man
Trenton is my older brother. He’s been setting the bar high for me my entire life, whether I liked it or not. He taught me how to throw a punch, take a joke, and never back down. I couldn’t ask for a better best man… mostly because he’s had years of practice telling me what to do anyway.
Maid of Honor
From an early age, my friends would get jealous that Emily and I never fought like they did with their siblings. We shared everything from a room to clothes to toys. Which would make you think we had a lot to argue about, but no, we have had an unbreakable bond since childhood. No matter where I am, I know I can count on her to be there for me. She lights up every room she is in (and that's not just the flashing camera she always has on her). She is a wonderful big sister, and I am super excited to share the best day of my life with her as my maid of honor.
Groomsman
I’ve known Court since middle school, which means he’s seen every awkward phase, bad haircut, and questionable decision. Our family being friends pretty much guaranteed we were stuck with each other but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. He’s been one of my closest friends for years, and I’m glad he’s standing by my side today.
Bridesmaid
Brittnie is my soon-to-be sister-in-law. Over the past couple of years that Caden and I have been together, Brittnie and I have had the opportunity to become close. I have been blessed to watch her become a wonderful mom and a great friend to me. She never fails to make me laugh and offer amazing advice whenever I need some. I am so honored to have her as my sister, and I can not imagine getting married without her by my side.
Groomsman
Ryan and I went to school together, played baseball, and ended up being roommates...which means he’s seen it all. From the field to the apartment, he’s always been the funniest guy in the room and kept things interesting. I’m lucky to call him a former teammate, roommate, and one of my closest friends.
Bridesmaid
I have known Tayla since birth, but we only interacted minimally at family reunions. Until I transferred up to Santiam Christian. We played two sports together, had the same friend group, and became really close there. We both moved on to Corban to play our sports and had dorm rooms right next door to each other. We would hang out all hours of the day and night. Some of my favorite memories were when she would ask me to do her hair for every event, big or small, and although I acted annoyed, I secretly loved it. I am super thankful to call Tayla my cousin and best friend.
Groomsman
Dillon and I also went to school together, played baseball, and survived the roommate days. We’ve shared long practices, late nights, and plenty of stories that probably shouldn’t be repeated. He’s been a great teammate and an even better friend, and I’m glad he’s standing by my side today.
Bridesmaid
Monae is one of my beautiful cousins. Even though she is a few years older than me, she has never let that come between us. She is the kindest, most genuine person you will ever meet. Monae has always been a listening ear for me, and she gives the best advice. We bonded the most right after COVID, when she and I would go on sushi dates and hang out for hours or go to our Grandma's house to play board games! She is hands down the funniest person you will ever meet, but she is also the person to go to when you need a hug.
Groomsman
Breylon is the kind of friend everyone hopes to have. We’ve been through just about everything together, and no matter where life takes us, he’s always been right there. While he isn't able to make it to my wedding because he’s serving our country, he’s still standing with me in spirit. I couldn’t imagine this day without recognizing the brother he’s been to me.
Bridesmaid
Growing up, my cousin Jaydah, Emily, and I were inseparable. We basically grew up as sisters, and we look like it, too. She has been there for me through it all. We played many sports together on the same team and were lucky enough to have a class together in high school. Jaydah is a massive part of who I am today, and she has always been a wonderful role model for me to look up to. I am so blessed to have her in my wedding, just like I got to be a part of hers.
