Wedding Party

Meet our family and friends who will be walking us down the isle

Genessy

Maid of Honor

She’s the friend who has seen every version of me, laughed with me until it hurt, talked me through every big decision. I couldn’t imagine this day without her—not just as my maid of honor, but as the sister I got to choose.

Madison

Bridesmaid

One of the most joyful, animal-loving, wine-sipping, lake-day-obsessed people I know—and the queen of karaoke nights with me. belting out our favorite songs (Jesus take the wheel), she brings so much light and energy into my life. I’m so lucky to have her by my side on this day and every adventure that comes next.

Maria

Bridesmaid

becoming my sister-in-law—she’s becoming a true part of my heart and our growing family. She has a special way of bringing everyone together, whether it’s for birthdays, holidays, or any reason to celebrate.

Danielle

Bridesmaid

Danille and I go all the way back to elementary school, which means she’s been there for every chapter of my life—and probably knows more about me than anyone else. From childhood memories to growing up side by side, I’m so grateful for a friendship that has lasted through every stage of life, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her standing by my side.

Kevin

Groomsman

Kevin is the guy who I share the love of skateboarding with. Over the years, we’ve shared countless family dinners after school and laughs, He brings a laid-back, genuine energy to every moment, and I’m grateful to have him standing with me on such an important day.

Branden

Groomsman

Even though Branden moved to Texas, nothing has changed about our friendship. We grew up together, built countless memories, and no amount of distance has ever gotten in the way of staying connected. I’m grateful to have him here with me to celebrate this day.

Jacob

Groomsman

Jacob has been my brother for as long as I can remember—which means we’ve shared a lot of great memories, a lot of laughs, and yes… more than a few legendary sibling fights. He’s still one of the people I trust most, and I wouldn’t want to get married without him standing next to me (even if he still tries to win every argument).

Ethan

Best Man

Ethan and I have bonded over all the important things in life—great music, sunny boat days, and anything with an engine. We’ve had some unforgettable Airbnb adventures together, He’s been one of my closest friends for years, and I couldn’t imagine this day without him by my side.
