Kelly & Noah

Wedding Party

Katie

Matron of Honor

Siiister! Katie is the best sister I could ever ask for. It is crazy to think how not too long ago it feels, we were playing pool basketball against dad, playing Pikmin on Friday nights, having our cosmic bowling birthday parties, and sledding at the library. Now we are engaged, married with kids, it is crazy to think about how fast the years went. Even though the years have come and gone you have continued to be a supportive, caring, amazing sister in every sense of the word. Not everyone is lucky enough to be close with their siblings but I am thankful that I have always been able to call you up whenever I've needed anything and you have always been there with open ears. Thank you for everything that you do and for being such a big part of one the best days of my life. Love you Kate!

Jess

Maid of Honor

Jess and I have been bestfriends since we were freshmen in high school. Jess has one of the kindest hearts and most down to earth personalities and is truly one of the best friends a girl could ask for. Whenever you need a friend to laugh, cry or vent with she will be there with chicken nuggets, french fries and mozzarella sticks ready to listen! I don’t think I could ever thank her for all the times she has been there to lift me up when I couldn’t do so myself, and to make ,e laugh when all I wanted to do was cry. From day one she has been such a special part of my life and I know she will be for the rest of our lives. Jess knew Noah and I before we knew each other and has been there since day 1, there was never a doubt in my mind that she would be the maid of honor at our wedding. Jess thank you for all you have done from the day we met, up until the day leading up to our wedding day. Your creativeness, organization, and compassion is unmatched and I couldn’t have asked for a better best friend and maid of honor. I love you Jess💕

Nicole E

Bridesmaid

Nicole has been a part of my life since the day I was born and is basically my non-blood related sister. Looking back on my childhood Nicole is part of every birthday, Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and everything in between. Being that we were next door neighbors, it was amazing always having someone to play with and help me with homework. From her teaching me how to swim, family trips to Great Adventure, countless sleepovers, blowing bubbles to Buca from the top of the play house, drawing chalk houses on the driveway, hanging out in her favorite tree, to helping each other through break ups and her being there the day I graduated from college, we have truly been through it all together. I am forever grateful for everything that Nicole taught me while I was growing up and always being there when I needed sisterly advice. I am so happy we have remained close as adults and she gets to stand next to me during another milestone in my life.

Sam

Bridesmaid

Samantha!! Where do I begin!! Sam and I have been best friends since middle school and really have been through it all together. We truly have been through all the good, bad and then some. Sam and I went through middle school, high school and college together, were driving partners, worked together at Perkins and truly spent about 16 hours a day together junior and senior year of high school. When I say there came times that we would fight to the point that we would leave the other one at school then blatantly ignore each other at work, I am not kidding LOL. We have always had that sisterly type friendship where we would fight to the death with each other, but do the same FOR each other. As we have gotten older we've grown to become family rather than friends and I would not have that any other way. Sam is one of the most sincere, funny, selfless people I know and I have always been able to count on her for seriously anything. I don't say it enough but I am truly lucky to have had her in my life for 17 years and can't wait to be doing this until we're in our 90's!!

Marisa

Bridesmaid

Rissy Benz!! Marisa and I met in middle school when we were both in gymnastics and have been best friends ever since. Marisa is the life of the party and there's no such thing as a bad time when you are with her. She has such a contagious energy that can turn any bad mood into a good one. She is the friend that will always have your back and will always stand up for you in a crowd. Although she’s moved away, I love being able to be one of her biggest fans from afar and support her in everything she does as she does for me. Thank you for always being my biggest hype girl and loving me so much. I’m so lucky to have you here to stand by me and Noah on the best day of our lives. Love you sis🦥💙

Nicole G

Bridesmaid

Nikki Gray, where do I begin. Nicole and I have been best friends since the first grade. We have been through every ugly phase, awful trend, every ‘boyfriend’, our dads rock and roll phase, every fight, and anything you can imagine. Nicole is truly the friend that we have experienced every part of our life together. We have grown up together and have had to learn how to do everything at the same time. I have always been able to trust her with anything from the smallest thing to the biggest. Over the years our friendship has endured every hardship you could imagine but we’ve managed to make it through each of them. I am lucky to have had you by my side over the last 20+ years and am so happy to have you here on my wedding day. Love you!!

Liz

Bridesmaid

Liz is the extra sister that I didn't know I needed but did. The relationship we have I would not trade for the world. Liz has one of the purest souls of anyone I know and would do anything for anybody. Liz and I really became close during covid when we began getting to spend a lot of time together and truly had a blast. Whether we are annoying Noah and Alex, hanging with the dogs on the couch, or building giant "sculptures" in the snow we always have the best time together. Over the years I have been able to truly turn to Liz for everything whether it was for advice, hard love or just someone to listen. No matter what it was I needed from her she always was there with open arms ready to give her full attention. She has helped me through so much and has really helped me to find the light even in the darkest situations. Because of witnessing Liz's passion for nursing and her love for helping others, is one of the biggest reasons that I decided to get into nursing and she has done nothing but encourage me and i am so grateful for her. I am so excited that I get to call her family and we will be sharing a last name! Thank you for everything, I love you!!

Kat

Bridesmaid

I had always hoped that one day Kat and I would become sisters and I am so happy that that day is almost here! There is never a dull moment when we are together, whether we're taking tequila shots, quading in her back yard, sinking her jeep in mud, or dancing on the bar at huddys, we always have the best time. Kat has such a caring heart and would do anything for the people she loves. Over the years because of Kat I've learned so much from her in the sense of doing whatever it is that makes you happy and not letting anyone's doubt stop you from achieving your goals. Kat proving to the world that she has what it takes to become a homesteader from nothing, has put me in the mindset that I can change my career and go towards nursing. I am sure she has never realized how her passion and perseverance has affected other people but it has definitely encouraged me. Thank you for always being so supportive of me in everything I do, always bringing some fun and sunshine to my life and not killing me when we met LOL. I truly am so lucky to be gaining you as a sister and couldn't have asked for anyone better. Love you Kat!!

Lisa

Bridesmaid

Lisa and I met sophomore year of college and ended up as roommates junior year and have been best friends ever since. Over the last 8 years Lisa has been one of truest, most thoughtful, present friends regardless of her living over an hour away. We've built a friendship where we can go weeks without talking but when we do we pick up right where we left off. We can call each other and facetime for hours and talk about what's going on in our lives or facetime for hours to keep the other one motivated to do chores or homework. I am so extremely grateful to have a friend like Lisa who will be your biggest fan when your are succeeding, but also pick up all the pieces when you're falling apart. It is not often you encounter such a kind, generous, strong, courageous person and get to have them as a forever friend but I am so happy I did. I am so happy that college brought me you because I don't know where I'd be in life at this point without you by my side or how I'd be able to marry the love of my life without you. Here's to many more facetime calls, drunk texts, amazon shopping, and years of cheering each other on. I will always be your loudest cheerleader, I love you so much!

Colleen

Bridesmaid

Colleen and I had a later start to our friendship, we met in August of 2020 but hit it off! Noah and her boyfriend Nick have known each other for years and introduced Colleen and I at Huddy's one night and we've spent many weekends together since then. Colleen so quickly became a huge part of my life and such an amazing friend. I look up to you like an older sister and have been able to come to you for help and advice since we have met. You have such a pure heart and are such a loving, fun wonderful person to be around. I am so happy that you were there to experience the day Noah asked me to marry him and am even more excited that you'll be standing next to me on the day we say " I Do". I am unsure how I went so many years without you in my life but am so happy we have time for make up for it! Love you Colleen!!
