Matron of Honor
Q: What is your favorite memory of your friendship with the bride? A: Memories I love (but had to go to therapy for first...) Chasity once sacrificed me to a man dressed as a bush so she could save herself. I befriended the bush, but only long enough to make a very graceful escape. That, coupled with the realization that she knows the ins and outs of just about every murder case in existence, has really sealed the deal. I'm scared to be her friend, yet even more scared to be her enemy... So, she's neither.. She's my best friend!! She's the Mary Ann to my Wanda, the dumb to my dumber, my unpaid therapist, and my sister. <3

Q: What is your favorite memory of your friendship with the groom? A: When we met at Wings etc. and talked about God and truly started becoming good friends. First impression and the reason I'm so close to God! Q: What song makes you think of the groom? A: In One Ear - Cage the Elephant
Emily London
Bridesmaid
Q: What is your favorite memory of your friendship with the bride? A: There's literally no way for me to sum up our friendship in three sentences. One of my favorite memories of us is when we were literally children, and we were on a field trip. I dropped like a whole fork full of food down my shirt, and you said, "I really thought you were the classiest of us." Or the fact that I used to force feed you half of a PopTart for breakfast in drama class every morning. Q: What song makes you think of the bride? A: Any One Direction, The 1975, The Fray, John Mayer, Goo Goo Dolls, or 5SOS song reminds me of Chasity. Also, that song 23 by Sam Hunt reminds me of Chas. Weird, I know. "You'll never be 23 with anyone but me." <3

Q: How did you meet the groom? A: Reed told the class that he wanted to get into voice acting, and I utilized that to record the intro to my podcast in 2014. Q: What is your favorite memory of your friendship with the groom? A: I've always appreciated our porch talks; his ability to be a strong listener and a vulnerable communicator. I love how easy he's been to connect with over and over and over again. Q: What song makes you think of the groom? A: MR! POTATO MAAAAAAN!
Tori Perry
Bridesmaid
Q: What is your favorite memory of your friendship with the bride? A: Too many to choose! Our trip to Fort Lauderdale (after only knowing each other for a couple months) to see MGK and The 1975, putting on fake nails in the car before going into the haunted house, every time she retells the story of turning on the heat [in the car] and making me nauseous, our Saturday/Sunday morning catch-up time over coffee in our kitchen. And many more! Q: What song makes you think of the bride? A: "About You" and "Robbers" - The 1975. And "Thank You" by Bonnie Raitt (minus the romance aha). I wouldn't be where I'm at without your friendship <3 "Thank you for giving me my life." *music note emoji*

Q: What is a fun fact about your friendship with the groom? A: I had to take Reed to the emergency room our freshman year of college, learning that he had to have immediate surgery. Even though he was in extreme pain, he was still cracking jokes to all the staff. I remember sitting there and thinking, "I am going to be close with this dude for the rest of my life." Q: What is your favorite memory of your friendship with the groom? A: So many memories to choose from, but one in particular is our college graduation day. I remember walking to the main ceremony while we reminisced on our experiences at Ball State. We realized we were no longer going to be "kids," and a new chapter of life was about to start for us. It was a bittersweet moment as we knew we wouldn't be seeing each other daily, like we had for the past several years, but rather our friendship would continue to grow and evolve to adulthood.
Madison Coleman
Bridesmaid
Q: What is a fun fact about your friendship with the bride? A: I think it's funny that we knew each other in college but didn't always hang out, and then I end up marrying one of your best guy friends. Q: What is your favorite memory of your friendship with the bride? A: I think my favorite memory of us is the time we got to talk in the early mornings at the house (we used to live together). Oh, and also when we have gone kayaking with some sangria. Q: What song makes you think of the bride? A: All the Small Things - Blink 182
Jamie Becker
Groomswoman
Q: What is your favorite memory of your friendship with the bride? A: Our 10-minute voice memos to each other, talking about life, love, and music. And the time we improvised a song about "baby back ribs" with her, Reed, and Tori! Q: What song makes you think of the bride and groom? A: "Sunday Morning" by Maroon 5 and "Home" by Edward Sharpe.

Q: How did you meet the groom? A: We met at his birthday party and quickly formed a friendship over quick conversational banter that involved religion, the economy, and roasting Chasity in some way lol. Q: What song makes you think of the groom? A: THE CORNFLAKE COLLECTIVE
