Amanda HowellAmanda Howell
Maid of Honor
My Aunt Amanda is the closest thing I have to a sister and is now my maid of honor. She understands my planning mindset and my extreme attention to detail. She and my mom have willingly gone to my countless wedding dress appointments and have endured my endless wedding rambling.
Katy JewelKaty Jewel
Bridesmaid
I have known her as Katy Coker for almost my entire life and was honored to be a part of her wedding last year. Along with the algorithm of Tinder, she helped me find the love of my life by accompanying me to Jay and I's first meeting (to make sure he wasn't a serial killer). She is a real one for sure! She and I have witnessed so many of our firsts in life and I can’t wait to see what is in store for us.
Tana ButtsTana Butts
Bridesmaid
Tana is my beloved childhood friend who has also witnessed so much of my life, but through a different lens. Her and I share our hobby of horse riding and competed together throughout our childhood. We practically lived together over the summer breaks since we went to different schools. Instead of being boy crazy, we opted to go to dances together. In these experiences, we learned how to two-step and how to have a good time.
Adriana OrtizAdriana Ortiz
Bridesmaid
It all started when we bonded over a lab partner that hated us. We quickly became study buddies and lived together for our senior year of college. She was my go-to friend and confidant when I started to suspect that Jay would propose and we were both so excited when he finally did. We share a fascination with medicine and will have coded conversations. She has been driving 6 hours to attend my wedding events and I could not be more happy to have such a supportive friend.
Rosabeth ShafiRosabeth Shafi
Bridesmaid
Rosabeth and I were brought together by our partners. Her husband is Jay's best friend and I couldn't be happier to be friends with the wife of someone so important to Jay. She shares so many of my interests in medicine and knows the trials and joys of marrying someone outside of their culture. We truly would be friends even if our men were not.

Honor Attendant
My precious companion converted Jay from loving felines to being obsessed with this canine. She is our fur baby and one of the most important pieces of our lives.
