Matron of Honor
My twin younger sissy by two years. She brings a balance of stillness and silliness into my life. When we’re together, everything is fun and thanks to her and our endless laughing, I now have a six pack.
Best Man
Zach and I became close friends in high school, with me initially thinking he was too cool for me, only to find out the opposite. Zach is a true friend, willingly housing me every time I come back to St. Louis, he has never failed to provide meaningful conversations, as well as help me realize that I ordered the wrong pair of pants after being given months to do so.
Matron of Honor
Jay. AKA Justina. We’ve been best friends since high school. She’s the friend who sees the best in you even when you may be at your worst. Our love for food and napping was a match made in heaven.
Best Man
Jarebear and I grew up together, only becoming friends in middle/high school when we shared our love for video games and history (she-ha). Even when I moved away, we never stopped sharing our lives with each other, sending our famous occasional life update texts, and non-stop talking when we see each other in person. Just know that we masked up before it was cool.
Bridesmaid
My big sissy! She has the biggest heart and she is someone you can always rely on to go to and confide in without any judgement. She is reserved and has poise, but put us together and it becomes a party.
Groomsman
Jon. Ironically enough being Courtney's brother-in-law, we were friends for years before I even met her, and being the reason I did end up meeting her. Jon and I became close friends when I moved to Michigan, quickly sharing a multitude of interests. Anybody who knows him knows that he is always down for a taco bell run, game night, or deep talk. Just don't ask him about his nickname.
Bridesmaid
I’ve known Bree since middle school, but throughout the years she’s become one of my best friends. She’s the friend that you take on fun and random adventures and if you plan on going to the grocery store you just may end up putt putting instead. She is my favorite “P.”
Groomsman
My college roommate, we've been through all the highs and lows of college together, spending many nights talking about anything between our faith to if we lived inside an alien refugee camp. Joel is the kind of guy you want to bring home to your parents to impress them with your choice of friend (or boyfriend, he is single). Make sure you close your door all the way so he doesn't come into your room though.
Bridesmaid
Hannah! My life long friend since grade school. If you’re lucky to have her in your life, you will always have someone who will fiercely love you. If you happen to be in the same room as both of us, I will warn you; we bring the weird out of each other.
Groomsman
Hezekiah was one of my first true friends after moving up to Michigan, with us quickly sharing a love for food and superheroes. He has one of the biggest hearts I know, always making sure to plan hangouts and play games. Ask him about his famous cheese balls.
Bridesmaid
Emma and I met a few years ago at church. We connected real fast. And she has become one of my sweetest friends. If you ever lose us, you can find us at our local coffee shop we’ve probably spent five hours at.
Groomsman
Meeting in middle school, I knew Blase as the skinny black belt kid. From creating ridiculous scenarios out of thin air to our 5 hour long Google Plus calls in high school (yes we used Google Plus), even when I moved away to college we made sure to fit in an occasional game of Age of Empires III. Sorry about your calculator.
Usher
Becoming friends in first grade, the teachers in our elementary school quickly made sure we were never in the same class again after third grade (the school literally made us separate). Our love for history and drawing large battles were what bonded us, and still kinda does to this day, just less drawing, and more visiting or talking. A genuine, solid friend who never backs down from a genuine conversation. Even before he hated Gauls.
Usher
My first real friend in elementary school, we grew up together and shared being only children. Our love for Star Wars, video games, and everything else became consistent as we grew up and now spend our days either visiting each other or talking online. Zach is one of the most genuine people I know, always giving good, real conversations and ideas. Some of our greatest victories have actually come from no words at all.
Usher
We grew up hating each other, thinking we were both jerks. It wasn't until high school that we really clicked, so much so that he lived with me for a year or so. Matt is the friend you can always count on to surprise you or give you his genuine thoughts and opinions no matter the topic. He is a great friend under pressure, and you can’t have a conversation with him without asking about our trip to the north pole.
Usher
Finally meeting each other after knowing who the other was for practically a year, we quickly became close and realized we grew up one state away from each other, somehow meeting in Michigan. He's the kind of friend you can take anywhere and have a good time or solid conversations with. Just ask him how he measures his faith.
Flower Girl
My first niece, “Maddie.” She had her first coffee thanks to her aunt and now she is my little best friend.
Ring Bearer
“Bubby!” Currently my one and only nephew. 100% pure boy. Finds the name Courtney difficult to say so I am either grandma or Caleb.
Flower Child
MICHELLE! My youngest niece. Not much to say when she favors her soon-to-be uncle over her very own. They’re best buds.
