Maid of Honor
Selena, my maid of honor, has been a constant light in my life since the day we met at our local church. She is effortlessly outgoing and someone I have always looked up to. Some of my favorite memories with her have been our long walks around campus lake, talking for hours about our lives and encouraging one another. No matter the distance, she has always been one of my closest friends, someone who has never hesitated to pray for me or be there when I've needed it most. Even living in Chicago, her presence and support are always felt. She is someone I can always rely on and one of the most selfless people I know, and I couldn't imagine anyone more perfect to stand by my side as my maid of honor.

My youngest sister is wise far beyond her years and has always been one of the people I turn to the most for guidance and perspective. She has always given the best advice, listens without judgement, and somehow knows exactly what to say. Some of my favorite moments with her are the simplest ones, like calling in sick and doing some retail therapy, or even just sitting on her bed at the end of the day and venting about each others lives. We've always dreamed of the day we would stand by each other on our wedding days, and now that its coming true, its bittersweet to realize how quickly time has passes, how lucky I am to have her by my side, and how much we've grown along the way. I am endlessly grateful for a sister like her, and having her by my side means the world to me.

My sister has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. She's been someone who has walked beside me through every season with constant love and support. This day is bittersweet because it means we will no longer share the same last name, however, the memories we've made and will continue to make are ones I will never take for granted. Aubrianna has been the sister that I can always rely on for a good laugh. Her personality is so selfless and she never hesitates to put others first. Having her stand with me on Drake and I's wedding day means the world to me and makes this moment even more special.

Mikaelyn came into my life a few years ago through small group, and from the very beginning, we just clicked. What started simply turned into a friendship that feels effortless and grounding. Being around her is like a breath of fresh air, she's genuine, down to earth, and always there to listen. She's someone I look to for advice and perspective and a friend I truly cherish. Whether we're hanging out at her place or at our favorite Mexican restraunt, the conversations we have are never boring. Even though we've only known each other for a relatively short time, it feels like a friendship that's lasted for far longer. Having her stand by my side on this day was never a question, because it's not about how long you've known someone, but how deeply they've impacted your life.

Bay and I met when I first started to attend our local church, and our friendship really began when we roomed together at my first church retreat. From that time on, she's been someone I've constantly looked up to for her maturity and steady presence. She's the kind of person who offers honest and genuine answers, thoughtful advice, and calm reassurance whenever it's needed. She is genuine, wise and has a true heart for serving others. Bay is always the first to step in and ask how she can help, and her gentleness and love continually inspire me. She has helped me from the very beginning of this wedding process, making it a lot less stressful. Having her stand by me on this day is so special to me because she's shown me so much kindness and support throughout our friendship, and I can't imagine this day without her.

Erin and I met through Mikaelyn, and from the start our friendship felt natural and easy. She's gentle, genuine, and someone I deeply admire for the way she lives out her faith and treats others.

We don't hang out constantly, but every time we do its so uplifting. Her presence is a reminder of the kind of friendship that strengthens and encourages, and I'm so grateful for her.

Luke came into my life in 2021, and what started as a simple comversation quickly turned into one of the strongest friendships I've ever had.

Johnathan and I have been friends since fifth grade, we grew up side by side. We went to school together, worked jobs togethers and somehow managed to collect more stories than either of us should probably admit to. Through every phase of my life he's been there, Johnathan is someone who is steady, loyal and always in my corner. There's a level of history you only get from growing up with someone. Johnathan knows me better than almost anyone. We've seen each other at our best and our worst, and no matter what we've always had each other's backs. He's someone I trust without hesitation, and having him stand by my side on my wedding day means more than I can fully put into words.

Brock is my younger brother. We've grown up side by side our entire lives, which means we've done about everything together, including fighting like cats and dogs more times than we can count. Underneath the toughness, he is one of the most hardworking, driven, and loyal people I know. Brock doesn't cut corners. When he commits to something, whether it's work, family, or the people he cares about, he gives it everything he has. That's something I've always respected about him. There's a level of understanding that only comes from being brothers. We've seen each other grow up, figure life out, make mistakes, and learn from them. Over the years, he's grown into a man I'm genuinely proud of, not just because he's my brother, but because of the character he's built for himself. Having Brock stand beside me on my wedding day isn't just important, but something I would be honored to have him next to me. I'm grateful for our bond and for the lifelong connection we share.

Noah and I became friends a little later in life. But it didn't take long for our friendship to turn into something solid. We're both from the same area, however, we're pretty different in a lot of ways. Noah enjoys video games and sports, while I'd usually rather be outside hunting. Despite that, we've built a friendship that is solid. Through church, double dates, and time spent together, we've shared a lot of laughs and built a connection that feels easy and genuine. He's someone I truly enjoy being around. Noah is a loyal friend, and I'm grateful for how naturally our friendship has grown. I'm thankful to have him be part of this season of life.

Kam was one of the first friends I made at church, and we've been walking alongside each other ever since. Over the years, we've shared small groups, meaningful conversations, and countless moments that have shaped me. I admire Kam for his maturity, intentionality, and Godly example. He's an incredibly hard worker, dedicated and dependable, and I admire all those qualities about him. Kam is someone I have shared many laughs with and can confide in about anything I'm going through. Kam has been such a steady and faithful friend and I'm utterly grateful that he is standing beside me on my wedding day.

I met Jake through our local church, and over the past two years, our friendship has grown into something deeply meaningful.
