Wedding Party

Paige

Maid of Honor

As my older sister and the one closest in age to me, Paige has been my built-in best friend from the very beginning. From elementary school to high school, and even through our time at Michigan State University, we’ve been more than sisters, more than roommates, more than sorority sisters—we’ve always been best friends. Whether we were competing side by side in travel cheer or staying up late helping each other through schoolwork, she has always been there with me and for me. Through every stage of life, she has remained my constant—my protector, my most trusted confidante, and my very best friend. As my older sister, she’s been my guide and my biggest cheerleader, always believing in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. As my Maid of Honor, she brings not only her incredible ability to plan and organize, but also her endless love, steady support, and brilliance. She knows me better than anyone, and I feel more grounded, more confident, and more prepared for this moment because she is by my side. There is truly no one else I would want standing next to me as I marry Derek. Paige, your love, your strength, and your friendship mean more to me than I could ever fully express. I am so grateful for every memory we’ve shared and for all the moments still to come.

Hollie

Bridesmaid

As my oldest sister, Hollie has always held a special place in my life—not just as the eldest or most mature, but as someone I’ve looked up to for as long as I can remember. From teaching me my ABCs when I was little to guiding me through life & love with wisdom and encouragement, she has helped shape me into the person I am today. Growing up, she was someone I admired deeply, and that admiration has only grown stronger over the years. Hollie is truly the definition of grace—classy, poised, and beautiful inside and out. Through every stage of my life, she has been a steady source of strength, support, and guidance. As someone who has built a strong and lasting marriage, I look to her for reassurance and wisdom as I step into this next chapter. Having her stand by my side as I marry Derek means so much to me—it’s a reflection of the tight bond we share and the love and respect that have always been at the center of our sisterhood. Hollie, I am so grateful for your guidance, your support, and your constant presence in my life.

Bailey

Bridesmaid

Bailey and I have shared a friendship that spans nearly 25 years. From playground antics to navigating the complexities of adolescence and beyond, she's been my rock, my partner in crime, and a constant source of laughter. We've created countless cherished memories, from our adventures up north in Michigan to hitting the slopes snowboarding together. Having a friend who knows you inside and out, through every phase of life, is a true gift. It means the world to me to have Bailey stand by my side as I marry Derek, celebrating decades of friendship and the start of a new adventure.

Jessica

Bridesmaid

Jessica and I share a friendship that spans nearly two decades, a bond forged not only through countless memories but also on the cheerleading mat! We've navigated the highs and lows of competition, celebrated victories, and supported each other through every routine. Our bond is built on years of laughter, support, and understanding that only comes from a friendship cultivated for nearly 20 years. Having Jessica stand with me as a bridesmaid is truly special, and I can't imagine celebrating this big day without her unwavering friendship and joyful spirit by my side.

Sara

Bridesmaid

Sara and I have known each other for nearly two decades, growing up side-by-side through all the adventures and 'shenanigans' of our adolescent years, and even continuing our journey together at Michigan State. Our bond is built on years of countless sleepovers, endless laughter, and unwavering support that only true childhood friends share. From those early days to exploring the beauty of the Adirondacks on a memorable trip, Sara has been a constant source of fun and friendship. It's an honor to have her stand with me as a bridesmaid, celebrating our incredible history as I embark on this exciting new chapter with Derek.

Adia

Bridesmaid

Adia and I first connected at L'Oréal, a professional bond that quickly blossomed into a deep friendship as roommates. It felt like destiny with how much we had in common: from our shared love for pom and majoring in Packaging at Michigan State University, to our sisterhood as Sigma Kappa alumni, our friendship was instant and undeniable. We've created countless memories living together, exploring the vibrant energy of New York City, and enjoying adventures traveling down to Florida. Having Adia stand by my side means the world, as she's truly a kindred spirit and an incredible friend, especially with our mutual appreciation for dirty martinis and oysters!

Gianna

Bridesmaid

Gianna and I first crossed paths at L'Oréal, a connection that quickly blossomed into a cherished friendship when we became roommates. From day one, I was struck by her genuine heart, quick wit, and incredible sense of humor – she truly is one of the funniest friends I have! We share a deep love for exploring new foods, embarking on exciting travels, and, of course, doting on her adorable dog, Macha. Many of our favorite memories were made during our annual trips down to Florida. Having Gianna stand by my side means the world, and I can't imagine celebrating this special day without her vibrant spirit and infectious laughter.
