Wedding Party
Scarlett Rose Ratliff
Flower Girl
From the moment I met you, you stole my heart. I would have never thought in a million years that God would place such a smart, beautiful, and amazing little girl in my life. Not only have you stole my heart but my whole entire family's with those pretty little green eyes. The day I say I do to your daddy, I will not only be saying I do to him. I will being saying I do to you too. I will vow to always treat you like you are my own. I vow to love you unconditionally for the rest of my life. I vow to always be an understanding ear. I vow to always tell you what you need to hear, even if it's not what you want to hear. Lastly, I vow to make you the happiest little girl as long as I shall live, and give you everything you need. I love you so much Scarlett Rose, thank you for being you!
Alyssa Kirsten Gordon
Matron of Honor
I can only imagine the day Mom and Dad came home with me, you probably thought your life was over. Little did you know I'd one day grow out of that annoying little sister stage and become one of your best friends. I am thankful that even though you're so far, you're always on that other end of the phone listening and helping guide me through life. If God's willing, I hope to be half the mom you are one day. Thank you for always being there and loving me through the good, the bad, and the ugly. I love you so much sister, I can't wait for you the be my right hand girl on my special day.
Ashley Marie Lozano
Maid of Honor
To my big saster, whom I love so dearly. I can't thank you enough for all you have done for me in my 27 years of life. From opening your home to me countless times, telling me what I don't want to hear over and over, giving me tough love, the list goes on. I want to thank you for stepping up and always helping Mom take care of us while we were growing up. It never went un-noticed by me even if it always seemed I was your little brat sister who was ungrateful. Just know I admire you and would do anything for you. I love you so much.
Taylor Nicole Thompson
Bridesmaid
To the girl who knows me better than I know myself, you are my best friend and will forever be my best friend. I am so lucky to have a cousin who was there beside me growing up and even now. From all the fist fights to late night snuggles, from all the bike rides to scraped knees, from being children to becoming strong independent women; we've been through it all and got through it all because we had each other. Having you stand along side of me on my wedding day means the world to me. I love you more than life itself.
Holly Amberly Thompson
Bridesmaid
You have always known how to calm me down and talk me through every bad time in my life. You are such a strong woman and I admire you for that. I am so lucky to have you in my life. There is never a dual moment when we are together and half of the time we can't breath from laughing so hard. You have always been one of my bestfriends and I will forever cherish our friendship. It's tough growing up because we have all these responsibilities and it puts our friends and family on the back burner but just know I am always cheering you on and you will always be in my heart no matter how long it has been. I love you, Holly Wolly Bear; always and forever.
Amber Noelle Walker
Bridesmaid
Because of you, I know my worth. You have always built me up and helped make me feel so confident. If I ever need a cheerleader, you're who I call. I always joke about how JD and Jacob love each other more than we do but the truth is that is impossible. I would jump in front of a train for you, and I know you would do the same without hesitation for me! I am so sad it look me 25 years to find a friend like you, but you were worth the wait. You are my soulmate friend and having you beside me on my special day is a must. I love you so so much!
Jesse Lynn Holtz
Bridesmaid
You are the mom of the pack, you're always taking care of us and I wish we could show you how much we appreciate that. The support you have always given me since day one means the world to me. I love that the girls play so well together because they're stuck with each other for life! Thank you for all the guidance you have shown me since Scarlett has came into my life. I don't think I could have been such a kick ass Step Mom if it wasn't for you. I love you and your babies so much.
Jade Breanna Allen
Bridesmaid
If my world has turned upside down and I need to ugly cry, you are my girl. If anyone were to ever lay a hand on me, I wouldn't even have the chance to hit back because I know you would already have them on the ground. You have always been a big sister to me, embarrassing me as much you possibly can like big sisters do. From the night you met JD you told me he was the one and you were so right. Thank you for knowing me better than I know myself and choosing me to be JB's God Mommy. I love you guys.
Kristy Kayla Lourenco
Bridesmaid
My dearest big cousin who has loved me since the day I was born. We have been through it all together and always found our way back to each other. We grew up more like sister's than cousin's so we fought more than most cousin's probably do but that's what makes our relationship so strong. We have been through more than we deserved this life to give us, but we are stronger because of that. I love you and I will always support your decisions.
Jasmyn Brooke Owens
Bridesmaid
You were my very first friend this life gave me. We have been tied at the hip since we were probably able to walk. We knew from when we were like 6 that when we got married, we would be standing beside each other. Even though we live hundreds of miles away from each other, I would be there in five hours in a heart beat, two seconds if I could. You are the best mommy to Ody and I hope be half the mom you are one day. I love you so much Frog!
Averie Elizabeth Ratliff
Bridesmaid
It's crazy to think I will soon share the same last name as you, and I'm so glad that you're just as excited as I am. I have always wanted a little sister as long as I can remember and with you I finally get that. You have one of the most bubbly personalities and it makes everyone around you happy. You have welcomed me into the family from the moment I met you, I can't wait to officially become part of the Ratliff Gang. I love you and I can't wait to have you stand beside me on mine and JD's special day!
Jessica Forrest Letsche
Bridesmaid
If anyone cries on my wedding day, it would probably be you. You're always so cheerful and positive about life and that's probably why I've held onto you these last 14 years. You are always there and are one of the few people I can count on to cheer me up when needed. I am blessed to have you stand beside me as I start this new chapter in my life. I couldn't do it without you, pal. I love you so much, Jess!
