Bride
Best Woman
I met Taylor working at Gun Lake Casino right before I started dating Jo. She started as my boss, but has finished as my ride or die, go to person and best friend.
Bridesmaid
Leila is one of my friends from good ol' PHS (Class of '09!!). Even though we live a few hundred miles away from each other and don't talk frequently (she's not GREAT at returning texts......), whenever we do see each other, it's like no time has passed.
Bridesmaid
Step Dad Dan is my son and my rugby rookie. She is almost an exact replica of myself, in a smaller, yoga loving package. There is a mutual love and bond over rugby, rescue dogs, whiskey and being a general asshole in the eyes of most people.
Bridesmaid
Emilee is hands down one of the best people to have been underneath me......in a scrum. She's the lock to my prop and is a rock solid human to match.
Bridesmaid
Ally is my younger sister and while she has been mostly annoying my ENTIRE life, she's turned into a mostly okay person and a pretty great mom to her 3 little ones. Her and her husband, J.C. (who is also in the wedding) are the sole reason why we have our pup Oliver.
Bridesmaid
Kate was my other prop for 4+ years at SVSU, as well as drinking buddy, emergency help (mostly around my horrible truck), and best friend. We've shared far too many nights that have revolved around multiple four lokos that we cannot remember for the life of us.
Bridesmaid
I've only known Jacq for a little over a year and a half (ish), but we instantly because work buddies, eating lunch together daily, watching sports together and eventually bonding over it all. Whether it's a late night drink, a game night or a new hipster brewery/pizza joint, Jacq is generally my go-to.
Bride
Maid of Honor
Jen is my older sister. We have become very close over the past several years and now I don't know how I would get by without her to look up to.
Bridesmaid
Lizza is my youngest sitter. She has her life more together at 21 than most people do in their 50's. I am overjoyed that she is able to be part of my wedding party.
Bridesmaid
Terrin (AKA Little one #1) is my younger sister. She always had my back growing up, I couldn't have gotten though without her.
Bridesmaid
Ashley is my friend form college, and by friend form college I mean my partner in every class and reason I started caring if I got an 89.9 or 90%.
Bridesmaid
Sydney is my friend from college. She had taught me so much like, always bring chicken nuggets when meeting new dogs, an allergy is never a reason not to pet a cat, and so much more.
Bridesmaid
Shereem is my work wife. She is a bad ass BCBA practicum student. With her love and support I got through some of my hardest academic years of my life. Her energy will bring joy to any room.
Bridesman
J.C is my soon to be brother in law. Through my relationship with Cassie he as made me feel nothing less that loved and accepted. I am honored that he will be standing by my side in the wedding.
