Maid of Honor
Sam and Camilla met during Camilla's final year of graduate school. To say that Sam is a blessing is an understatement. Sam and Camilla goofed around Elon together for two years and spent most of their time together watching tv, sharing memes, eating take-out, bullet journaling, or running around Target. Sam and Camilla have helped one another through the toughest parts of student affairs and life, holding one another up and laughing through it all. Camilla is thrilled to have Sam as her Maid of Honor and create these memories with one another.

Becca officiated Ben and Jules' wedding, and she looks forward to having Ben stand alongside her and Camilla.
Bridesmaid
Sydney and Camilla became friends their first year of college in the Old North State. They truly SURVIVED and somehow made each other better people in those four years. While Camilla's father told her that she may have a friend and not a roommate (and a roommate and not a friend) when she went to college, Sydney defied that logic. Sydney and Camilla lived together for two glorious years of antics, road trips, and new food combinations. Sydney is a beam of light to all she meets, and is one of Camilla's best friends for life. Camilla is honered to have Sydney stand (at 6'1") with her on her wedding day.

Charlotte and Camilla have been rockin' with each other since '01/'02. Charlotte has always been the realistic, hilarious, encouraging, and humbling force in Camilla's life. Through most of middle school and all of high school, Charlotte and Camilla came as a pair. And Camilla cannot say how deeply important it was for her to have Charlotte as a friend growing up. She made Camilla a better person through her friendship and continues to inspire her. As children, Camilla and Charlotte used to joke about the number of weddings they'd have (times were bleak lol), but the constant was that they'd always be at each other's. And so of course Camilla chooses her best friend now to stand with her at her one wedding.
