Kelly Brady
Maid of Honor
Kelly is my Maid of Honor and the closest thing I’ve known to a sister. We found each other in a Rose’s parking lot during one of the stranger chapters of my life, and somehow that’s exactly when the best friendships are made. Although I can’t visit her after work everyday anymore - distance has never once touched what we have. She is the kind of friend who feels like home no matter how much time has passed, her becoming a mom recently has only made her even more beautiful to watch. I couldn’t imagine standing at the altar without her by my side.
Jalen Castle
Bridesmaid
Jalen is absolutely one of a kind - equal parts golf pro and the life of every room she’s ever walked into, yet somehow she makes both look effortless. She has this magnetic energy that makes everything more fun the moment she’s a part of it. Over the years she’s been so much more than just a good time - she’s one of the most incredible friends I could ask for and I’m so lucky to have her in my corner.
Liza Shropshire
Bridesmaid
Liza has truly seen me at my worst — and loved me anyway. She’s the one who showed up after every high school heartbreak, did my hair for homecoming, and once showed up at my door with Dunkin’ at 5am just because. We sang together in chorus, survived math class, and shared more late night adventures than I could ever count. Through all of it she was calm, steady, and never once made me feel like a bother. Liza is the kind of friend you don’t take for granted — she shows up patiently, stays faithfully, and loves fiercely. I am so grateful for her.
Kyndal Myers
Bridesmaid
Kyndal and I found each other in high school, and we wasted no time - ditching for senior skip day together to go chase waterfalls pretty much sealed the deal. She is the most outgoing, adventurous soul I know - constantly off on a mission trip or exploring some corner of the world most of us have never known. We bonded over a shared love for Jesus, surviving school and being mistaken as twins! ( My biggest compliment) But beyond all of the adventure, Kyndal is one of those rare friends who loves deeply and shows up fully - the kind of person who makes you feel seen no matter how far she’s roamed. I am blessed to have met her.
Naomi McElrath
Bridesmaid
Naomi- Naomi and I go all the way back to high school, where she would pick me up for school and we quickly realized we had found something rare - a friendship rooted in a shared faith and a whole lot of love. She has always felt like the big sister I never knew I needed in the best possible way. She’s the kind of person who shows up for you quietly and steadily. With the bond we’ve built over car rides and a love for Jesus I am so honored to have her in my life.
Katie Land
Bridesmaid
Katie was the first friend I made in college. From sitting across from me in lab to getting piercings together only weeks later. She is a free spirit at heart, with one of the most generous souls I’ve ever known. She has held my hand through more than a few dramatic moments and never once made me feel like too much. Watching her step into motherhood has been one of the most beautiful things to witness, and I know she’s just as incredible at that as she is at anything else. So honored to have her standing by me.
