Wedding Party
Danielle
Maid of Honor
Danielle and I have been BEST FRIENDS since 7th grade. She has been by my side through all the bad times and all the good times. She definately brings out the best in me. When we are together, I feel like all we do is laugh so hard we cry. Our friendship is so rare and I am not really sure how I got blessed to have her as my best friend, but I couldn't picture this life without her!! We have talked about this day for so long and now that it is finally here, I am so excited to have her be my main chick (per usual) and be my maid of honor.
Makayla
Bridesmaid
Makayla and I first met when I was her preceptor at the hospital. Right from day one our friendship grew stronger and not only did we grow an everlasting friendship but we grew as nurses together. Makayla and I have stories we could share for days about our experiences of working in the hospital together, from the very first day to working on the COVID unit together. I got the honor to be the Maid of Honor in her wedding and it was such a beautiful day and I am lucky to have such an amazing friend like her. Not only are we amazing friends, our puppies are besties too!
Krystina
Bridesmaid
As my sister-in-law, Krystina does not really have a choice but to love me (haha). She has always told me that I needed to find a good man that would love me and treat me right, and now here we are! For once, I actually listened to her. She was only a little bit of a bridezilla for her wedding, so I thought it was time for a little payback. But in all seriousness, she is a great mom to my niece and nephew and a great wife to my brother. I couldn't picture our special day without her by my side.
Carly
Bridesmaid
Carly and I met in nursing school, little did we know that before us meeting, her and my brother used to hang out all the time. I think it was maybe the first or second day after we met and she found out what my last name was, she asked if Owen was my brother (always skeptical when people ask this, if you know my brother you may understand why). From study buddies to birthday dates, to picking raspberries in the back fields of her house and having the best late night fires. She is my girl who tries to bring out a little country in me. Our day wouldn't be complete without her.
Amy
Bridesmaid
Amy and I also met in nursing school. We also were study buddies that turned into a lifelong friendship. Whenever I needed someone to talk to or to help me out within minutes of me asking, Amy was right there, and never any questions asked. We never worked with each other after nursing school up until this past summer when we decided that it was a good idea that we work together (6 days a week). I'm excited to have her share our special day with us, like I got to spend her special day with her!
Sadie
Bridesmaid
Sadie is not only family, but she is a younger version of myself. When I look at her, I see my attitude, my personality, and my smarts (haha). Having her follow in my footsteps as she becomes a nurse is like watching this little girl, I was so scared to have come into my life (because I thought her father would not love me as much after she was born) grow up so quickly and be an amazing person and passionate young woman. I'm so proud of her and her accomplishments and I know Gram is so proud of the both of us! Our wedding will be so special with you by my side.
Rachel
Bridesmaid
Rachel and I met back in 2008 at a bar that we were both being designated drivers for our friends. At that time, we did not know each other but had a mutual friend. It was from that night on that our friendship began. From some crazy nights of dancing on the roof of her parents house, to being the Maid of Honor in her wedding, and becoming the Godmother to one of her children. Even when we don't talk for weeks, or months, Rachel and I pick up exactly where we left off when we do talk again. I'm so lucky to have a friendship like ours!
Kinley
Flower Girl
Kinley is my beautiful, smart, talented, and loving niece. She is also a small version of myself that I never thought I would see. She is very stylish and will absolutely tell me when I'm not, or if and when my makeup or outfit is not up to par with hers. She comes with a lot of sass but I would not want her any other way. I cannot wait to have her be by our side through all of this.
Easton
Ring Bearer
Easton is one spunky boy with a whole lot of energy! Have we mentioned what a great sense of humor he has, and makes all of us laugh very hard. We absolutely love his hugs and snuggles, they are the absolute best! And he’s the BEST baseball player we know!
Chris
Best Man
Chris and Jared met in high school. Jared was in 11th grade and Chris was in 9th grade. Then Chris had moved to Florida and after Chris graduated high school, he had moved back to NY. Their favorite thing to do together is play Zombies on Call of Duty and watch car videos. We all know how much they love their cars.
Raul
Groomsman
Jared has known Raul since he was about 13 years old. In their younger years, they loved to play basketball and soccer together. As they got older, their "sports" grew more expensive and turned into fixing and rebuilding cars. Raul, Chris, and Jared are like 3 peas in a pod. "Just stand back and watch the magic happen"
Donnie
Groomsman
Donnie and Jared had met through Raul. They both have a love for the gym and their cars. Donnie is in the military and currently resides in Colorado. Even with the distance, when Donnie comes home, it's like old times and they pick up right where they have left off.
Sam
Groomsman
Sam is Jared's older brother. Sam and Jared found each other in 2013 through Facebook and when they met, they realized that they shared the same interests. They both love to workout and he is also into cars. Sam is ALWAYS down for a "chill and grill" on a Sunday afternoon.
Eric
Groomsman
Eric and Jared met through an old friend. Him and Jared shared interest in HipHop and have made music together in the past. Eric is a tattoo artist and has done almost all of Jared's tattoo work. Eric and Jared also shared a love for the gym as well.
Marc
Groomsman
Marc is Jared's cousin. They go wayyyy back to countless sleepovers, spending hours playing Zombies Ate My Neighbors on Super Nintendo, and getting in lots of trouble together especially with Uncle Charles.
Owen
Groomsman
Owen and Jared met because he is Kayla's younger brother. They have spent time together shooting bow and arrow in the backyard. Along with going on vacation to Florida with him, his wife Krystina, and Kayla. They share the same love for video games and "shit talking" together.
Tavien
Groomsman
Tavien is Kayla's younger cousin. He has been asked to play a special part in their day. From the moment he was asked to be in the wedding, he has been willing to do whatever the future bride throws his way. We cannot wait for everyone to see this guy walk down the aisle.
