Matron of Honor
Met freshman year of college. Lived next door in the dorms. Became fast friends & popped into visit my brother on the way to SF. Sparks flew, she ended up staying the night with us and eventually she became my Sister In Law. I was lucky enough to be her Maid of Honor in her wedding to my brother back in 2017. Going on 12 years of being friends and 3 years of being family. I couldn't think of a better person to stand next to me while I say "I Do"
Best Man
Adam & Andrew have been friends since Middle School, but really connected in 10th grade when they had English together. Adam has been a constant in Andrew's life, was very supportive during his cancer journey and even visited him during chemo. Years down the line, when Andrew moved out of his dads house, Adam was kind enough to let him move in until he could figure out a more permanent situation. Andrew couldn't think of a better person to be standing next to him.
Bridesmaid
Maddy is Andrew's older sister & we quickly became fast friends. I met Maddy very early on in our relationship. I don’t even remember the point where she went from being Andrew's sister to my friend. We were lucky enough that she came to town fairly often due to her job, & we always just seemed to connect really well. She went on to have 2 boys, Toby (ring bearer) & Luca, & i’ve been blessed enough to watch them whenever she’s in town. Maddy & I probably talk more than she & Andrew. I’m blessed to have her as a friend & future sister in law. We have a lot of the same interests and are always sharing books, talking about The Bachelor, or sending funny memes to one another. Couldn't imagine not having her in our lives.
Groomsman
Davey is Andrew's younger brother. Although there's 11 years between them, they've always been close, especially as they've gotten older. They love to go golfing whenever they're together, or just sit and catch up about everything in their lives. Andrew inspired Davey to pursue his dream of working for Nasa when he started working at Icon. Although they may not see each other often, they remain close & Andrew can't wait to have his brother up there with him.
Bridesmaid
Met freshman year of college when I rushed Delta Phi Gamma and ended up becoming sorority sisters. Junior year of college moved into the same townhouse complex & became best friends. Maintained a close friendship post college, was a bridesmaid in her wedding to husband Darwin & eventually became Godmother to her son Grayson (ring bearer) & Auntie to her daughter Sawyer (flower girl). One of my closest friends, and someone i'm grateful to have maintained a friendship with all these years.
Groomsman
Kevin is Kelsey's brother, but he and Andrew have a lot in common and have become great friends. They both have the same sense of humor and a love for video games. They can be seen sharing the latest memes or reddit threads at any family gathering. As Andrew's future brother in law, he felt it was important for him to be standing up next to him when he marries Kelsey.
Bridesmaid
Met in World History during college. Bonded over our love of the Jonas Brothers & all things Disney. Both pursued Teaching & continued to take classes together & build a friendship. Constantly bonded over our teaching pinterest boards & would vent about school troubles. Affectionately refer to each other as Twin. Always my go to concert person! My fave concert we ever went to was Ed Sheeran. Always up for a fun lunch date & been supporting each other all this time.
Groomsman
Andrew and Dylan met in the first grade and remained incredibly close all throughout their childhood and adolescent years. They share a passion for cards and video games, and would often be at each others houses after school days playing games. Dylan went off to Sonoma State for college & Andrew often went up to visit him. Dylan has been a constant friend in Andrew's life and they both have been there for one another throughout the good and bad times.
Bridesmaid
Met through a mutual friend who was Hanadi’s roommate at the time. Bonded over our love of One Direction, became fast friends, and always supported each other throughout the big events in our lives (like when she graduated from her Nursing Program). Solidified our love for 1D by road tripping to see them perform at the Rose Bowl & continued to check in on one another during our post college lives. She was amazing throughout my cancer journey & always laughs when I use her as my personal nurse and spam her with what if's.
Groomsman
Ryan and Andrew actually met through mutual friends Aaron & Dylan, but ended up becoming friends themselves. Ryan worked at GameStop and so of course that piqued Andrew's interest and they started talking about all the different games they played, and ended up playing some online games together. Over the years distance made it hard to see one another, but they always kept in touch online and felt that Ryan would be a great person to be a groomsman.
Bridesmaid
Family Friends. Our parents live about 3-5 minutes from one another. Grew up camping together, we did girl scouts together, etc. Went to different high schools, but always reconnected with any family event. She moved back to our hometown & started teaching & was one of the most supportive people in my life throughout my cancer journey. Now we talk almost everyday & I can't imagine not having her standing up with me.
Groomsman
Andrew met Aaron through Aaron's younger brother, Dylan, who he met in first grade. Over the years, Aaron became more prominent in Andrew's life with their common interests such as games & golf. They began to socialize with the same people and just really enjoyed hanging out together. When Andrew & Kelsey first started dating, Andrew went to Aaron for advice as he had been with his girlfriend Tracy for a long time. The four of us went golfing together and really hit it off. Aaron is a very important part of Andrew's life & he can't wait to have him in our wedding party.
Junior Bridesmaid
Becca is Andrew’s younger half sister. In the last 5 years she & Kelsey have created a wonderful relationship & Kelsey sees her as the younger sister she never had. We love seeing her grow & follow her interests. Bec is a huge part of our lives & we thought having her standing up with us would be that much more special.
Junior Bridesmaid
Nic is one of Andrew’s younger cousins. She has always been very prominent in our lives, especially when Andrew lived with his Uncle Joe (Nic’s dad) for awhile. They’ve always had a special relationship & Kelsey easily fit into that. We’ve always been there to celebrate the special moments in her life & Kelsey could talk with her for hours. It just made sense for her to be involved in our special day and stand up with us.
Ring Bearer
Grayson is Kelsey’s Godson & their (unofficial) nephew. Son of her best friend Courtney, G was the first kid in Kelsey and Andrew’s life. He’s so incredibly important to us & we couldn’t imagine not having him there (even if he won’t remember;) ). He will forever be in our lives & is someone we will always support. He’ll be 4 at the time of the wedding & will help his sister, Sawyer (2), walk down.
Ring Bearer
Toby is Kelsey & Andrew’s first official nephew! Son of Andrew’s sister Maddy, he will join our other ring bearer Grayson. Tobs is so special to us & we couldn’t imagine not having him to celebrate with us on the most important day of our lives. Toby will be just over 3 1/2 at the time of the wedding & his Uncle Andrew is very excited to have him walk down towards him.
Flower Girl
Sawyer girl is our only (unofficial) niece! S is the daughter of Kelsey’s best friend Courtney & sister to ring bearer Grayson. She was the perfect choice for our flower girl & we cannot wait to watch her toddle down the aisle. She is our favorite little girl & we can’t wait for her to be a pretty princess for our wedding. She’ll be 2 at the time & beyond adorable. She’ll even be with her Mama while we get ready the morning of.
Nephew
Luca is our second official nephew! While he won’t have a role in the wedding, he’s just as important to us & we couldn’t imagine not having him there with us. He’ll be 2 a couple of months before our big day & will help keep his baby brother to be calm. We can’t wait to spin him around on the dance floor to share a special moment with him.
