Wedding Party
Olivia Barrau
Matron of Honor
Olivia is my sister and has been just that in every sense of the word. Olivia has always been my biggest supporter—her fierce love, sass, and hilarious spirit have been my grounding force for as long as I can remember. She's a yoga instructor, a veteran, and a wife- and most of all, she is lovely. She trusts with her whole heart, and always tells it like it is (in the best way). Life wouldn’t be the same without her.
Arianna Valdez
Maid of Honor
Arianna and I have been friends since second grade. We’ve grown up side by side—walking through nearly every life stage together. From beach trips to late-night talks, God keeps weaving our paths close. We will attend the same graduate school to become professional mental health counselors. Her steady presence and shared journey have meant the world to me. I know no matter the distance, we will be sisters for the rest of our lives.
Abigail Starace
Bridesmaid
Abigail and I became friends in college, and from the start, she has been one of those friends with whom you always feel at home. She has walked through the love story of Caed and I with a front row seat, and we've had many irreplaceable memories together - most of them include dancing at concerts and late-night talks in my college town home. Deep, positive, and peaceful to be around, she cares for every kind of human deeply and selflessly, and her friendship inspires me!
Katie Bonnett
Bridesmaid
Katie has the gift of hospitality like no one else. She’s welcomed me into her home more times than I can count, and each time I’ve felt truly seen and cared for and very, very full. We met in college, and over the years, her giving heart and ability to make any place feel like home have left a mark on me. I am inspired by the way she serves those around her, endures chronic illness, and holds fast to the robes of Jesus. She is truly one of a kind.
Lizzy Wood
Bridesmaid
Lizzy and I met in college a few years ago, and she’s been such a life-giving friend. She has taken many trips with Caed and has been close to both Caed and me. She’s honest, kind, deeply trustworthy, and grounded in love. She brings life wherever she goes, fears little to nothing, and reminds me that life isn't so serious - that we are adored children of God. I need that reminder often; she is such a rare presence I am blessed to have in my life.
Sami Grace Danley
Bridesmaid
Sami Grace was my roommate for two years and one of the first friends I made in college. We’ve shared every season—from freshman year to being engaged at the same time (something we never saw coming!). She’s thoughtful, gentle, and absolutely hilarious. Her writing is inspiring, and her heart seeks those who have had their voices taken away with a passion to give them the microphone. She is a gentle but fierce force for justice and beauty. I am inspired by her dedication to writing and the freedom it can bring. She is a friend like no other.
Kayla English
Bridesmaid
Kayla English is a close friend from Auburn who shared a room and what felt like the extreme adventures of life with me, Sophomore year. If you know Kayla, you know that she can make anyone feel like a friend as close as family in 0.3 seconds. Kayla and I have prayed many prayers together, cleaned up, cried, and made messes. We've shared dreams, clothes, convictions, and gone on many adventures together, starting our freshman year of College. Now, in Birmingham, we are both navigating the transition to adult responsibilities together, and I am so thankful that I get to have her friendship, sense of adventure, and strong faith in my life now, and for the years to come!
Julia Weingarten
Bridesmaid
Julia has been someone I have done life with since we met in 2020 in high-school. With a love for deep conversations and spontaneous adventures Julia and I have been through all of our inner-thoughts throughout the journey of following Jesus and growing into ourselves. She is intentional, honest, bold and inspiring. She is the most wonderful host in the way that you could show up to her doorstep in any shape and she would happily welcome you in to serve you some tea, a quesadilla and whatever else you may want. I am blessed to have Julia as a sister now, and I am thankful to have her closeness in my life as I continue to learn and grow and follow Jesus.
