Matron of Honor
Katelyn and I first crossed paths in the most unlikely of places—Organic Chemistry at Grand Valley State University. Who knew that struggling through Orgo and laughing at ridiculous puns made by Witucki would lead to a lifelong friendship? From surviving Bender and sneaking in snacks in lecture to supporting each other through everything, Katelyn has been my rock. Not only is she incredibly smart and organized (essential qualities for a Matron of Honor), but she’s also one of the kindest, most dependable people I know. I’m beyond grateful for her friendship and thrilled to have her by my side today as I begin this new chapter with the love of my life
Maid of Honor
Aubrey and I first met in sixth grade during orientation, when I ended up helping her figure out the combination to her locker—little did we know, that small moment would spark a friendship that would last a lifetime. From that day on, we’ve been together, navigating the ups and downs of middle school, high school, and everything in between. Aubrey is the kind of person who can always make you laugh, even in the most stressful of moments. She’s loyal, thoughtful, and has a heart of gold. I’m so lucky to have her as my best friend, and I couldn’t imagine standing here today without her by my side as my Maid of Honor.
Bridesmaid
Taylor and I have been friends since high school, where we experience the all lovely band practices and the challenges of APUSH. From band performances to hallway lunches and all the moments in between, we’ve shared countless unforgettable memories. Our friendship continued to grow when we both attended Grand Valley State University, where we created even more amazing memories together. Taylor is loyal, supportive, and all-around amazing to be with—her kindness and positivity light up every room. I’m so lucky to have her by my side today.
Bridesmaid
Kimberly and I have been friends since high school, when we met at youth group. Our friendship grew even stronger when we both attended Grand Valley State University, and the highlight of those college years was definitely living together as roommates during my sophomore year. From cooking dinner together in the small kitchen to working late into the night on projects with each other or simply chilling on the couch, those were some of the best days. Kimberly’s easygoing nature and constant support made every moment more memorable, and I’m so grateful to have her by my side as my bridesmaid today.
Best Man
Austin and I first crossed paths back in college when we became roommates. It didn’t take long to realize we’d become lifelong friends. We quickly bonded over shared interests in running and hiking while trying to survive engineering school. After college we have made a point to try and explore as many national parks as possible. Whether it was conquering a tough summit or just enjoying the quiet moments on the trail, those memories have been some of the best of our friendship. He’s been there for me through thick and thin, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have him by my side on this special day.
Groomsman
I’m proud to introduce Miles, a guy who shares my passion for pushing limits, whether that’s in the gym, on the trail, or in life. We’ve both always believed in setting high standards and working hard to meet them, and having him as a training partner has been nothing short of motivating. From challenging each other through grueling workouts to cheering each other on through personal goals, he’s been there, helping me stay focused and driven. Beyond the sweat and reps, he’s a true friend—loyal, supportive, and always there when you need him. I’m honored to have him by my side today as a groomsman and look forward to many more challenges together.
Groomsman
I’m excited to introduce Ryan, someone I've had the privilege of knowing since college. Ryan was the catalyst for the start of our friend group when he got his car booted by security. We grew closer in our time as President and Vice President of the Cross County and Track Club. He’s been with me through the highs and lows, always offering support, humor, and a relentless spirit. We've always made a point to keep in touch and having him stand by my side today as a groomsman means the world to me. He’s truly one of the best, and I’m lucky to call him a friend.
Groomsman
Mitch and I first met in college, and our friendship really took off when we started running together every winter, braving the cold and dark nights just to get in those miles. There’s something special about pushing through tough runs together. After graduation, we kept that bond strong when we ended up living together. He’s been a constant source of support and laughter. Whether it was running in the dark or navigating the next chapter of life, I’ve always known I could count on him. I’m honored to have him as a groomsman and a lifelong friend.
