Bride
Myals and I met through a mutual friend, Colin, while playing/talking on Xbox. After a few hours, it was just Myals and I left talking and the rest is history! When we first met in person, I knew this could be it because it was just so easy to hang out and be myself! :)
Groom
One of the first things Myals said to me when we started dating was, "If my sister doesn't like you...well then that's it, it won't work out". THANKFULLY we get along great! This just shows Myals' character and how he prioritizes family in his life. Family is very important to both of us and we can't wait to start our own soon! :)
Maid of Honor
Crystle and I worked at the winery together for a while and became best friends! We bonded over our love of murder shows and food :) She's always someone I can count on...and knows where to hide the bodies! ;)
Best Man
Myals and Seth have been best friends since they were 8 years old. We all lived together in Dekalb for a year and became super close. Myals and Seth love playing magic the gathering together any chance they can get!
Bridesmaid
Megan is Myals' sister and one of my closest friends. We try to have her and her kids over almost every weekend! We've bonded over the years and I couldn't have asked for a better Sister-in-law!
Groomsman
Myals and Aaron have been friends since high school, and were even in a band together. They pursued similar career goals and ended up working for the same company! They even got together with some of their coworkers and formed a band that played together every week for fun. Aaron is someone we can count on and glad to have him there for our big day!
Bridesmaid
Dani and I have been friends since 3rd grade, but probably best friends since high school! We've been through a lot together and it seems almost fitting that we can now be in each other's weddings!
Groomsman
Myals and Fabian have been friends since high school. Fabian, Myals, and Aaron used to live together in college at NIU for a few years! Fabian is one of those friends that if you were in trouble, he'd come to your aid in a heartbeat.
Bridesmaid
Hannah and I met through Myals and her husband, Dan. Dan and Myals went through Army basic training together and have stayed good friends ever since. Hannah and Dan became our sponsors when we decided to pursue Catholicism. I'm very blessed to have Hannah in my life; she's someone I can turn to for advice on life, relationships, and religion.
Groomsman
Dan and Myals went through Army basic training together! They usually go hunting/fishing up at Dan's family cabin every year. Dan and his wife, Hannah, have been a big part of our Catholic journey! We're so excited to have them be a part of our next big step in life.
Bridesmaid
Ashley and I met through Myals and her husband, David a.k.a Blair. Myals, Blair, and Ashley served together in the National Guard. I'm very thankful to have gotten close to Ashley these past couple years and blessed to have had the opportunity to be there for her during her wedding!
Groomsman
Blair and Myals served in the National Guard together and became super close over the years. We're thankful to have had Blair and his wife, Ashley by our side during this exciting time!
Bridesmaid
Jordyn and I are cousins on my dad's side and have grown up together. We've always been close cousins and talked about our future families, how many pets we'd have, etc. It seems so surreal that now she's a mom and I'm getting married!
Groomsman
Hunt and Myals also served in the National Guard and became close friends over the years.
