Mary & Dusty
Special Thanks
Kelsey
Matron of Honor
To my very best friend, the one who knows me better than anyone, maybe even Dusty LOL. I can't imagine doing any of this without you by my side. We have been through so much together and I am so honored to have you in my life. You have been there when things were the best they could have been and you have been there through all of the bad, too. You somehow always find a way to make the bad days better and the worst days bearable. I don't know what I would do without your crazy advice, unconditional love, and most of all, your friendship. I am beyond thankful to have you in my life. To be able to have a friendship like we do is rare and I thank God every day for you. It is crazy to think of all the things we have been through, but I am so happy that I had you through all of it. Who knew that two 12-year-old girls would develop the love and friendship that we have now? Thank you for walking through every big milestone by side and thank you for sharing your bus seat. I love you -Marebear
Amanda
Bridesmaid
To my sister, someone who has taught me so many lessons, both good and bad LOL. To the only person who truly will walk beside me through every important moment in my life, from childhood. As children, I thought we would never have the relationship that we do now, I was the annoying little sister, and you were a teenage brat. I never imagined just how important that you would be to me one day. That you would be the person I go to for everything that comes my way, and that I would look up to you and hope to achieve everything that you have. Who knew that you would be my role model, the person I admire most? Yet here we are, and all of those things could not be any truer. I aspire to be like you every day. You have the biggest heart of anyone that I know, and you are the best mom to my niece and nephews. I could not be any prouder of you and what you have accomplished. I cannot imagine not having you with me through this. Thank you for everything you do. I love you -Mae
Sophia
Bridesmaid
Oh, little sister, how much of an honor it has been to watch you grow up and turn into the person that you have become. From the cute, little, annoying pain in my butt that you use to be, to the cute, still little, annoying pain in my butt you still are. LOL. No but seriously, you have become such an amazing person, and you are able to always figure out a way to get through whatever comes your way. I am very proud of the person you are, and I cannot wait to watch you continue to grow into the person you are meant to be, I know you have such a bright future ahead of you. I hope you always know, no matter what, that you have an older sister who would do anything in this world to help you to achieve anything and everything that you set out to do... unless it is something crazy than, well still count me in. Thank you for always listening and being there for me when I needed someone to talk to. I hope you always know how much you mean to me. I love you pipsqueak -Mae
Paige
photographer/Bridesmaid
To my soon to be sister-in-law, I am so lucky to now have a "bonus sister" like you in my life. I didn't think it was possible for someone to be more excited about my engagement than me, but I think you might just have had me beat. LOL. I honestly can say I have never felt more welcomed by someone from the moment I have met them. You literally never skipped a beat and made me feel like family from day one. I am beyond grateful to have someone as kind and caring as you in my life. You have been there when things were at the very worst and I cannot be more thankful for you and everything that you have done. Thank you for never making me feel like an outsider and for being there, every single time. Thank you for letting me be an aunt to your babies and for allowing me to get to watch them grow up into the sweet little people they are becoming. I love you -Mary
Daniel
Best Man
I have never in my life clicked with someone as easily as we clicked. From our first conversation (Vampire Diaries), to now, we have never missed a beat. LOL. We have been through some pretty crazy stuff together. I am so glad we met, and I hope you know how much you mean to me. Without you, I would have never met Dusty and who knows where I would be now. You have seen the worst in me and stuck around and for that I am beyond grateful. We hope you know how much you and your family mean to us. We are so honored you have allowed us to watch your children grow up and be an aunt/uncle to them. Thank you to you and Savannah both. We love yall -Mary and Dusty
Cody
Groomsman
Cody, thank you for being so welcoming from day one. I have always wondered about the person I would marry and what their family would look like, and I can easily say you guys are exactly what I pictured, crazy. LOL. I am just kidding. Thank you for always been kind to me and had an open-door policy. I hope you know how proud your dad was of you, and how proud he still would be. You are one of the most hard-working people I know, and you always put your family first. I could not be more ecstatic to join a family who is so understanding and loving like you guys are. Thank you for always being there for me, growing up and now. Thank you for everything you have done for us! We love you -Mary and Dusty
Anthony
Groomsman
Anthony, you are the biggest pain in the butt that I know (I guess that is what little brothers are for) but with that being said, you are one of the most hard-working, motivated people I know. You have worked very hard to overcome things that you should never have had to go through. You ask a lot of questions because you are always so eager to learn something new. You have a lot of skills and continue to add to those skills every day. I am so honored to have been able to watch you grow up and turn into the man that you are now. You really are the best version of yourself, and I can't wait to watch you continue to grow as a person. I hope you know we are always in your corner. We love you -MaeMae and Dusty
Matt
Bride's Escort
It is hard to believe that you have watched me grow up and become the person that I am. It is even harder to believe I have watched you grow up, too. You have become a fiancé, husband, and father since I have met you. I could not ask for anyone better than you to be the father of my niece and nephews, you really are the best dad I know. With that being said, you might not be my dad, but you sure have given me plenty of fatherly advice along the way. Every time I have needed help in the past, you have been there. From car trouble, to advice, late night conversations with ice cream, etc. I thank the Lord that you found my sister and that you saved me from her teenage wrath. LOL. I love you -Mae
Zach
DJ/ Woodworker
Zach, I am beyond proud of the person who you have become. Not only the person, but the father, and husband you have become as well. I am sure it is a full circle moment for you to take Sophia and Anthony to school, knowing not that long ago, it was me you were taking to school. You are the hardest working person I know, and it seems like there is never a job to big or hard for you to do. It's just finding the time to get it all done LOL. Thank you for being the best stepdad to me and for becoming the man I have always dreamed of my mom being with. I love you -MaeMae
Melanie
Mother of the Bride
Mom, to say that you are hardheaded and stubborn is an understatement. To say that I am also not those things, would be a lie. LOL. I guess my good and bad qualities all come from you. The woman who raised me to be just like her... sorry Dusty. I am beyond grateful for everything you have helped me achieve in my life. I know that I am who I am because of you. You have given me every opportunity in life to be great and even though some of my choices have not been the best, you have stood by my side and supported me no matter what. I am beyond thankful to have a mother like you, someone who loves me no matter what and someone who is always there for me. Thank you for always being there and for always having my back. I love you -Mae
Beverly
Grandmother of the Bride
MawMaw, I cannot even start to begin to thank you for everything you have done for us. Growing up, you were always my shoulder to cry on, and the person I come to with everything. You have always understood me on a level that nobody else has and I am forever grateful that you are my MawMaw. I guess not much has changed, I am pretty sure you would still read me The Sleep Ponies or The Little Red Hen, rub my back and sing me the grandma song if I asked. LOL. I cannot imagine what my life would look like without your guidance and love. Thank you for always being there. I love you -Mae
Julie
Mother of the Groom
Dusty is the man I would dream about when I was a little girl. Without your guidance, patience, and love, I don't think that he would be the man that he is today. Thank you for somehow not losing your head raising him LOL. Thank you for everything you have done for me and accepting me into your family like you have. Thank you for everything that you and dad taught me. We love you -Mary and Dusty
Madison
Millie Bearer
Madison, I love you more than you could ever know. I am beyond proud of the woman that you are becoming. I have watched you grow up and turn into such a sweet, kindhearted, person. You are 100% a mini me, that could be good or bad LOL. I hope you always know that I am in your corner and that I will always be here. We love you bunches! -MaeMae and Uncle Dusty
Micah
Ring Bearer
Micah, my first nephew and the boy who has made me question my sanity a couple of times. LOL. I am so proud of you and the person you are becoming. Even though you might be young, you are always there to comfort others, and you have such a big heart. I hope you know I am always here, and We love you...... this big! -MaeMae and Dust
Andrew
Ring Bearer
Andrew, the sweetest kid I have ever met. The one who knows exactly how to make you laugh, even when times are hard. This kid is full of himself in the best way. You have such a kind heart and a big personality to go along with it. I am so proud of you, and we love you so much! -MaeMae and Dutty
Colt
Sign Holder
Colt, you are absolutely the sweetest little man that I know. You have been attached to my hip since the first time I met you. You have the kindest little heart, and you are such a little sweetheart. I am so honored to be able to watch you grow up. We love you -MAYWEE and Uncle Dusty
Abigail
Flower Girl
Abby, you are the sweetest, sassiest little thing. I know you will go far in life because even at such a young age, you know exactly what you want. I have loved watching you grow up and am so happy to be your aunt. We love you -Aunt Mary and Uncle Dusty
Pearl
Flower Girl
Pearl, I have loved watching you grow up and turn into the adorable little girl that you are. You are a perfect mix of your mom and dad and one of the sweetest little babies I know. I am honored to be able to watch you grow up and I hope you know we are always in your corner. We love you -Mae and Dusty
