Parents of the Bride
Jamie and Deanna are incredibly excited for the Bride and Groom to begin their life together, and if Jamie is to have his way, have a couple grand-babies in the not too distant future. They are looking forward to having a party with all of their friends and now even larger family!
Parents of the Groom
Both Stephen and Karen were surprised when Zach said he was going to propose, mainly because they didn't believe that any woman would want to claim him! Karen is excited that she no longer the only female in the house, and Stephen is glad to have another person to laugh at and with. They are excited to meet and party with all of their new family and friends!
Maid of Honor
From “Hey, I’m Payton” to “Act surprised when I ask you to be my Maid of Honor”, we have gotten each other through high school, break ups, nursing school, and living in different states. She’s pulled me out of my darkest times and thrived with me in my best. Every girl needs a good ginger in her life, especially one who will ride the bull at 2am on your 21st, and I'm glad she’s mine.
Bridesmaid
Relay teams, long swim meets, spring break trips, sleepovers, haunted houses, middle school through WKU. Our memories, many; our inside jokes, endless; our stories, strange; our friendship, priceless. I'm so excited to have the Queen herself stand with me on my big day!
Bridesmaid
Our friendship has consisted of so much, including pizza sauce fights, week-long sleepovers and long swim meets. She's an amazing friend, inspiring person and loving mother. Watch out, we will be singing along to some Jonas Brothers at the reception.
Bridesmaid
We met one night at youth group, bonded during a Puerto Rico mission trip, and have stuck through the ups and downs since. She's one of the strongest (and sassiest) women I know and I can't wait to dance the night away with her.
Bridesmaid
Kels, we have been through so much together. The ups and downs of nursing school, growing up and figuring out the real world. We’ve laughed together, cried together, binged watched Friends and Outlander together. I couldn’t imagine not having you up there with me as I say I do.
Best Man
Friends, colleagues, brothers. These three words describe our relationship more than any other words possibly could. From soccer to camping and headaches to brews, Patrick has been there to help me learn, grow, and relax. I am beyond pumped to have him stand beside me on my wedding day.
Groomsman
Shay is that one guy I can't seem to get rid of - and would never want to! The most annoying, and inspirational of my friends, this is the guy you never want to see a movie with (he can tell you how it will end before it even begins!). From hanging out every day in my dorm room at Western to living hundreds of miles apart, this is a guy I know will always be there for me when I need him.
Groomsman and Brother of the Groom
Growing up in the cul-de-sac playing bike tag until the sun went down, and shooting each other in the face with nerf darts, we never pictured where life would take us - one of us getting married, and the other off to spend his life aquatic! Despite the distance between us (and maybe an ocean or two), I know that I wouldn't want to get married without my brother by my side. Love you bro!
Groomsman and Brother of the Bride
While he may be the brother to the bride, that doesn't make him any less important to the groom! Unfortunately for him though, once this knot is tied, he's stuck with me forever! I am looking forward to having another brother, especially one who I can rock out with, that has all the dirt on Payton. I can't wait to party with you until the sun comes up (or the clock strikes midnight - whichever comes first)!
Flower Girl
This spunky girl is ready to help give the Bride a grand entrance!
Ring Bearer
This dude is ready for his big role in ring security!
