Makenzie

Matron of Honor

Makenzie, my sister and bestest friend. If there are multiple universes, we are sisters in each one. There is no world without her. It's actually probably sickening how much I need her in my everyday life. She is my human diary, safe space, and sometimes punching bag. We spent our youth fighting one day, smashing mcdonalds in bed the next. And I couldn't have imagined anything better <3 Our sisterhood is one of the most valuable things in my life and I cherish every moment we spend together. How lucky are we to understand each other in a way only we can? She's been the best guide in life, giving me a trustworthy path to follow as a kid, teen, and now adult. I don't think there will ever be a day where I don't look for my sisters guidance. She just knows better. In 2023 she gave me the best gift of all. She welcomed Micah Randall into the world! And I've been more in awe of her than ever before since. She is the best momma, wife, friend, and especially big sister. It is without question she will be right by my side as I marry my other half!

Chase

Best Man

Chase has been my best friend since we were in first grade. We met at 6 years old and have stayed brothers through adulthood. He and I have the best, most hilarious, yet unmentionable memories throughout middle & high school. He has seen me through every phase of life and our friendship has always stayed the same. We are beyond lucky to have each other as best friends. It is only right he stand with me as my Best Man to begin this next chapter of life!

Dede

Maid of Honor

Brandie, better known as Dede, is my Aunt and the person I look up to most. When I was a little girl, I used to dream of the day I'd be an adult just like her. I'd have my perfect wedding, birth my perfect kids, and live my perfect life. It wasn't until I moved in with her in 2018 that I realized what I saw as perfectly polished and put together, was actually just a mom trying her best to make her kids, herself, and her pets happy. She was perfectly imperfect. And somehow, became even better of a role model. When I first moved in, I felt my life was in shambles. I knew University life was not for me and I didn't know how to tell my parents. Dede could sense I was unhappy and she was always offering a listening ear. One night, we went to dinner at Los Tres Amigos and she just asked me, "do you want to go back?" immediately, I burst into tears. "No," I quietly responded. When I looked up, I was expecting a lecture of sorts but that is not what came. She was smiling and just said, "well, that's okay." And we spent the rest of our dinner brainstorming what was next for me, while acknowledging the fact that I was exactly where I needed to be. She made sure I knew, I was perfectly imperfect too. And for this, she is absolutely needed on my big day!

Kaine

Groomsman

Kaine is my older brother and ginger twin. We may not have years and years of memories together, but Kaine is the definition of the typical older brother, he made the mistakes I got to learn from! Kidding, I didn't learn my lesson even a little bit.

Josie

Bridesmaid

Bestie Pie, Jo <3 Josie and I met in 8th grade when a mutual friend introduced us. Imagine this: your best friend introduces you to her best friend... Yikes! I can confidently say I was terrified of Josie and she could say the same but for different reasons... She was the sweet & innocent tween and I was a crackhead with no boundaries. I couldn't understand why she wouldn't say cuss words and she didn't understand why ever other word of mine was fuck, shit, or bitch. Like truly, looking back I have no idea why she kept hanging out with me but boy am I glad she did! High School was our time to shine. Kidding! We both mutually hated most moments during these four years but we always had each other. I truly am not sure I would have made it through those years without her. Josie did eventually give in to swearing but she is still the sweetest soul I know. The world is absolutely a better place with her in it and we are so lucky to have her! There is no way I could get married without her by my side!

Brendon

Groomsman

Brendons the guy who was and is always down for a good time. I have so much fun anytime we hangout, whether its on the golf course or playing video games on my back porch, he is hilarious. He will always be able to out drink all of us and for that, we give him the utmost respect. I am beyond thankful to have him be part of my big day!

Hannah

Bridesmaid

My hannie wannie <3 Hannah and I first met when we were weee little girls. Our big sisters were bffs on the same soccer team & we'd spend their games playing with each other! We lost contact for a few years but rekindled our friendship when I was in 6th grade and she was in 7th at Hilbert Middle School. This is where we'd spend the next two years being boss ass middle school bitches. Like really, we may have peaked.... Fast forward to HS, while no longer going to the same school, we remained close and often spent evenings at Buffalo Wild Wings or driving around. I cannot get into the details of these excursions but just know, we are natural blondes. I am so thankful to have a friend like Hannah. She is supportive but honest, loving but realistic, and just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the out. I cannot imagine getting married without my her by my side. <3

Ty

Groomsman

Ty and I became friends during middle school. We started hanging out more during our Sophomore year of high school, and by Junior year he was one of my best friends. When we are not laughing and joking around we are there for each other for the big things in life. I'm lucky to call him a brother and thankful to have him stand with me on my wedding day!

Ashley

Bridesmaid

Ashley is Calum's big sister! And while like most siblings, they spent lots of time at each other's throats, at the end of the day they love each other fiercely. Their bond is truly remarkable, and I can honestly say that I was terrified of her disliking me. Fun Fact: Before we started dating, I always knew we would probably end up together. So, when he had a Christmas party at his parents' house and Ashley showed up, I immediately ran and hid. No way my future SIL was to meet me WASTED for the first time. Little did I know, 3 years later Ashley would take me on a bar crawl where she'd have to carry me to the car... :/ Truly not sure which is more embarrassing for me! However, Ashley welcomed me into this family with open arms and has since become one of my greatest friends. We have so much fun together and mutual respect for our early bedtimes. I was lucky enough to stand by her side while she married her best friend, and it is only right she stand with me while I marry mine. <3

Mike

Groomsman

Mike is my best friends older brother turned Brother in Law. Yeah, imagine the guy you looked up when it came to girls, marries your SISTER. It was horrifying at the start but it didn't take long to realize he is actually more into me than Ash. Thank god!

Haylee

Bridesmaid

Haylee is Calums step sister. She has the most attitude of this bunch, but it is all a front... She wouldn't hurt a fly. I mean of course unless she absolutely had too... Actually, maybe just watch out. Haylee is the kind of person you strive to be. She is strong, capable, and more than willing to tell you to fuck off if needed. I just could not love her more! Not to mention she is the momma of two rescue pups... Could she be anymore perfect?! Haylee was kind enough to have me in her wedding, and what an honor it was to stand with her while she married her other half! I am so lucky to be gaining Hay as a sister and friend and I am so excited to have her stand with me on the most special day!

Timothy

Groomsman

Timmy is my younger brother. Timmy once chased me down with a 3ft pole and whacked me straight in the back. I thought I was dead and my back has never been the same. And now he works out so I really can't say shit..

Brenna

Officiant

Brenna has been my sisters best friend since before my birth! Yes, she met my own mother before I did. But with this being said, she has known me as her little sister for the past 25 years. I have always admired Brenna for the person she is. She was my favorite friend my sister had because of her constant honesty, love, and kindness she always showed my sister, and me. <3 While I annoyed her the same way I did Kenz, I know her love for me goes way deeper than I could imagine. And my love for her is the same. She has been a constant source of joy for my family and I. We are all so lucky to know and love her! Ever since Calum and I began dating, Brenna has hoped for this day! She is one of our biggest supporters and will absolutely be the best officiant EVER. <3
