Jeremy & Claire
Wedding Party
Audrey Deyton
Maid of Honor
Audrey is Claire’s big sister. They are 8 years apart, as close as can be, but it wasn’t always like that. When Claire was 7 Audrey was 15. That meant when Claire pulled down her clothes from the closet she couldn’t reach Audrey got to clean them up. Then, when Claire was 15 and Audrey 23. That meant it was the glorious age when they could share clothes and shoes! When Claire was 23 and Audrey was 31 Claire realized Audrey was someone she adored. Audrey was someone she looked up to. She is brave when she needs to be, passionate about what matters, and someone Claire hopes to be.
