Maid of Honor
Riley and I met in Elementary School and soon after that her home became my second home. Our friendship started with constant scheming to plan sleepovers and evolved into discussing future dreams. Who knew after 10 years our friendship would still be forever bonded.
Best Man
My brother, I've spent the majority of my life living with him - not only in the same house but a good portion in the same room. He's taught me many things, from how to stand up for myself, to what to say to a girl I liked (I still have to thank you for that). Zach, I appreciate the guidance and the many memories, you truly have been an amazing brother, please know I'm thankful for everything you've done for me.
Bridesmaid
Ashley is the perfect role model of what a wife and mother should be. She is kind, loving and always willing to help in any way possible. I hope in future years to come, our relationship continues to flourish. Growing up, I have never had a sister, but now I have Ashley.
Groomsman
Logan and I have always been as close as brothers, countless nights we stayed up late doing a variety of things from ding-dong ditching to exploring my backyard forest. We've built forts, made lego city's, and created extravagant B-B wars with my friends. Logan, I appreciate the many, many memories and laughs.
Bridesmaid
Hannah and I have not known each other for that long, but even in that short amount of time I have bonded with her. She radiates joy and love for everyone and everything. Thank you so much for welcoming me with open arms into the family!
Groomsman
Hunter and I don't see each other as often as I would like, but when we are together it's as if no time has passed. Hunter is the most caring person on the face of the earth. He is always there to help and truly cares for others. If I'm being honest, I don't have those traits (I'm a little more cold). Hunter, I appreciate your true kindness, and thank you for the many laughs!
Bridesmaid
From the moment I met Madison, I knew that we would mesh well together. She is a very courageous person, someone who likes to seize the moment. She is not afraid to put herself out there and stand up for what she believes in. I admire the person Madison is, and I hope to have an ounce of courage that she has.
Groomsman
Before meeting Brenden, I'd see him in the hallway at school or around town. I'll be frank, he came across as a little edgy, willing to make some noise if need be. However, I've come to learn Brenden is truly a people person. He can make friends wherever he goes and can make any event a good time. Brenden accepted/approved me for his little sister which I am of course, forever grateful for. I knew from being with Bryn, Brenden and her have a special, unspoken bond and I had to make a good impression. Brenden, thank you for trusting me with Bryn. I truly love her.
Mother of the Bride
My mother has always been my number one supporter through thick and thin. Throughout my hormonal teenage years, she has always put my feelings first and looked at the brighter side of every situation. My goal in life is to take the skills that she has taught me and apply them to whatever life throws my way. I can't ever say it enough but I love you, mom!
Mother of the Groom
My mother has always been the focal point of our family, she is the planner, the cook, the gift getter, the cleaner, etc. My mother truly is so carrying, and willing to go out of her way to help others. I have always admired her compassion and selflessness. Mom, thank you for the countless lunches, sit-down talks, 'how are you?'s and the endless love.
Father of the Bride
I know, growing up, that I was my father's favorite. All I had to do was bat my eyes as well as pout my lip, and I had my father in the palm of my hand. I am so grateful for the relationship that we have! We can go from having a heartfelt conversation to singing "My Humps" by the Blackeyed Peas in a matter of minutes. I love you, dad and I hope our relationship continues to flourish!
Father of the Groom
My father, some say we are a little similar (I don't see it...), who am I kidding I'm practically a copy of him. I have always looked up to my dad, I continually admire his impeccable work ethic, his incredible amount of patience, and critical thinking (If you'd ask him he'd say 'Common sense, but in reality, he's thought it over a few times). I'm always learning things from my dad, I'd say I'm on chapter 20 in "The Book of Chris". Dad, thank you for all the support and always being a phone call away.
Usher
Evan and I have always had an unspoken bond. No matter the dreadful teenage fads, or the "I'm too cool for you" attitude, we can always have a good time together. He has generously taken on the responsibility of being an Usher for my wedding, and for that, I will be forever grateful. Thank you, Evan, for being a part of my big day, and thank you for always being by my side.
Flower Girl
Addison is my first niece. I never understood the instant relationship you can have with someone immediately after birth, but our relationship is evidence of such a bond. She reminds me so much of her mother, some ways good, others...She is such a fast learner and is very aware of her surroundings. Addison, I can't wait to see the woman you grow up to be and watch your success.
