Maid of Honor
Beautiful baby sister of the bride! Being able to watch you grow into the beautiful young lady that you are has truly been a blessing. Having my baby sister as my maid of honor is so special to me in so many ways, I can't wait to celebrate this day with you by my side. I'm so glad that I get to incorporate both of my sisters into my big day I couldn't imagine doing it without either of them. I love you!!
Best Man
My awesome big brother! You have always been an amazing brother and role model for me growing up. The advice you have given me from a little ornery kid to today in the military has helped me succeed in so much many would not understand. You were my number one choice as a Best Man and having you on my wedding day as it is the best. I love you big bro.
Matron of Honor
Beautiful twin sister of the bride, literal other half of myself. No matter what stage of life she will always be my closest friend that I go to with any and everything, now most of the time that also means it is going to my brother in law Benito. We may live in different states, but I will always trust you to be by my side for all big life events just as I would for you. I love you more than you could imagine pidge! Paige's boyfriend at the time (now husband) is who introduced Chase and myself, we all four spent every weekend together that we could with endless outings to Chili's and Applebee's until they left.
Groomsman
The man that introduced me to my wife. We have known each other since 2021 and our careers lined up to go across the world, if Europe and Kansas count as that. At first when you asked me to meet Bailey on a random day in the gym, I thought you were just being "Benito", but I have been extremely grateful you did because without you asking I wouldn't have met my forever.
Bridesmaid
Best friend of the bride. My beautiful soul sister! Abby and I met when I moved to Manhattan and we became roommates along with my other best friend Mystique , not long after we became extremely close and inseparable. There for me through all of the good and bad, another daughter to my parents, a friendship and love that will last forever. I can't wait for all of the life stages we will continue to watch each other go through. I love you Abs! Abby has yet to meet Chase other than over our gossipy facetime calls.
Groomsman
The man, the myth, the legend, and one of the best dudes I have met since joining. You are an absolute wild dude to hang out with, but a stellar best friend. No matter where we are at, we have always tried to see each other. From Korea in the Ville, Kansas in Aggie, and even in Destin at the boardwalk, but most importantly at my wedding. It will be a night to remember and I am super happy you are able to come here and celebrate with Bailey and I,
Bridesmaid
Best friend of the bride. Another version of myself but blonde. We instantly clicked once I moved back home and we started working together. From obnoxiously laughing at work, our dates out for margaritas, and our trips out to the bar just to go to spicolis after. Even going as far as adopting kittens from the same litter, to then complaining about the pain of owning a kitten and wishing they were more calm like our first borns! (also cats) Madi is there for me always and I was lucky enough to find someone who I can call the future aunt of my children, love you endlessly Madison!! Madi met Chase when we all went out to eat at Applebee's (per usual) and then home after to drink and play card games.
Groomsman
We met on the first day of high school and ever since you have been one of my best friends in my life. You were one of the funniest dudes in high school and one of the only dudes I knew who could give and take jabs. From being in intro to engineering and choir, both of us hating our first year outside of high school, to now both of us successful in the military and now both of us married, couldn't have asked another dude to come to my special day.
Bridesmaid
Best friend of the bride. One of my closest friends since high school, we've been through so many stages of life together! To moving in together at 20 years old, watching her become a mother, to both of us moving back home and pursuing further education. From babies to adults we have so many memories to cherish and so many more to make, I'll love you forever mystique! Mystique met Chase when we stopped by her house to get ready to cat sit! Pretty informal, but we have so much time for many more future hangouts.
Groomsman
Never thought I would have a groomsmen on my wedding day with the worst dad jokes of all time but here we are. But for real, Aeden we met through mutual friends in high school and you are one of the most honest and real people I have met. Bonding over the gym and giving Luke a bunch of shit, of course we became friends super quick. It is great to see how far you have came and happy that you are able to come to Bailey and I's wedding day as a groomsmen.
Mother of the Bride
My beautiful mother!! My mother is my biggest inspiration in life. She has shaped me into the person I am today and I am so thankful for everything she's taught me and done for me. Her and my father met Chase barely a week after we met each other when they needed help grabbing chickens, it was definitely an interesting first meet. Since that day he has always been considered family.
Mother of the Groom
My amazing, strong Mother!!! Thank you for everything you have done for me and being such caring mother any son could ask for. Thank you for teaching me how to cook and how to be a strong person. Every time Bailey and I come to Illinois, it is always a hoot and we have the best time. We both love you so much momma!!!
Father of the Bride
My father who has taught me so many valuable life lessons growing up (even now). The one who always makes sure to ask if I want any of the food that's been made even when I no longer live at home. The father who comes over to my house on the weekend and thinks he'll get to rest to then help me fix everything that's broken. I have the utmost respect and love for my parents and everything they've done for me and continue to do for me.
Father of the Groom
The best father a son could ask for!! Always supporting me in everything I do and being there for me whenever I need you. Showing me how to grow up to be a man, hard work, and dedication. You taught me every lesson I needed to grow up and be the man I am today. I am beyond grateful to have you as a Father. Bailey and I love you so much!
