Maid of Honor
Younger Sister of the Bride – my built-in playdate for Legos, American Girl dolls, and kitchen floor “suvvy” (fuzzy) sock ice skating, my constant supporter who’s been by my side through all the ups and downs, and the one who showed me what independence really looks like when she moved 9 hours away from home.
Best Man
Best Friend of the Groom – he shares a love for all sports (mainly basketball) and has been a constant in my life since middle school, whether we were living in the same town or across the world from each other. And he still can't guard me.
Maid of Honor
Youngest Sister of the Bride – my baby sister who has been preparing me for motherhood since I was 8 years old, my sports-loving sister who made Ethan feel right at home, and the one who keeps me in the know on all the latest trends (and makes me feel old).
Best Man
Friend of the Groom – he’s been my friend for as long as I can remember, was my roommate for 3 years, and now is my regular golf buddy and my football date almost every Sunday. It’s only fitting we are each other’s best men. He's my second father.
Bridesmaid
Cousin of the Bride – my left-handed soul sister at the Kruta family dinner table, my reason to visit AZ as frequently as possible, and my favorite person to do nothing with (no matter when or where).
Groomsman
Brother of the Groom – my roommate for 18 years, we’ve taken different paths, but somehow always end up at the same table — usually thanks to our mom’s cooking.
Bridesmaid
Best Friend of the Bride – my go-to person for anything and everything (15 years and counting), my brutally honest truth-teller who always keeps me on my toes, and my beauty expert and esthetician who’s going to tackle the task of doing my makeup on my wedding day.
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom – we bonded over basketball in high school and have been friends ever since, he’s the guy to call when I want to do absolutely nothing or talk ball for hours.
Personal Attendant
Cousin of the Bride – my partner-in-crime who helps dominate Bloom family holidays, my fellow MSUM Dragon alumni (almost), and the person I look forward to swapping speech therapy stories with in the future.
Usher
Cousin of the Bride – the little brother that Jensen never had, he has bonded with Ethan over golf, and has experienced many late nights of Buck (cards) with Ethan/Jensen vs. Jack/Uncle Chris.
Personal Attendant
Friend of the Bride – my saving grace through grad school, my partner-in-chaos while learning how to be a speech therapist, and my weekly Wednesday morning coffee date who’s always willing to meet me at 6 am.
Usher
Friend of the Groom – he’s one of my day-one guys, my high school basketball buddy, “Sack” to my fiancée, but “dawg” to me.
