Maid of Honor
My favorite memory with Frannie and Ethan was when we took a trip to the St. Louis Art Museum. I pretended to take photos for a class so that Frannie wouldn't get suspicious. Once Ethan found the perfect spot, he asked Frannie to take some pictures with him, then dropped down on one knee (creasing the Jordans and all) and asked my bestie to spend the rest of her life with him. I'm so thankful to have been part of their engagement, and am honored to stand next to them on their wedding day!

My favorite memory with Frannie and Ethan is being involved in their home buying process. I even helped them move into their new house! It was super cool to see how eager and happy they were to make their house a home, and start their new lives together.

Since the beginning, Frannie and I have been not only cousins, but best friends. Our family believes that we can communicate telepathically. Needless to say, when she and Ethan met, I knew that was it. Over the years I’ve had the privilege of watching them grow both on their own and as a couple. I’m unbelievably happy that these two found each other, and we’re so excited to welcome (another) Ethan to the family.

"Frannie & Ethan, Ethan & Frannie" Sound familiar? Those two names have always fit together nicely. I count myself lucky to have been Frannie's built-in accomplice since day 1. After 24 years, I get to officially pass that title on to someone I admire and respect so much. Here's to hoping Mr. Lowrey can keep his forever partner-in-crime in line. :)

Frannie and Ethan are the perfect pair, but everyone already knows that! I am so excited for what the future brings for them. Wishing you both a wonderful wedding and life together!

Ethan and I met through TKE in 2017. We quickly became great friends, training partners, and roommates for most of our college years. I met Frannie shortly thereafter and immediately recognized that these two were perfect compliments to each other. I am incredibly excited for their union, and honored that they asked me to be a part of it.

One of my favorite memories was when we all went on vacation together and had dinner at a restaurant called Bosco's. We got some kind of appetizer that had jalapenos on it, and Frannie took a bite of it and just barely touched a jalapeno. She was really struggling, and ended up having to dip her whole tongue in ice water! It was really funny. :)

A while ago I was asked to write a small paragraph describing my favorite memory of these two, and only one memory comes to mind. When Ethan first bought Frannie to meet the family. I remember it as if it were yesterday. The sun had set, the moon was still tucked away, and the weather overall was surprisingly calm. I was in my room reading whatever writings I had access to at the time, when I was alerted by our mother that dinner was ready and that Ethan had brought his girlfriend home. Eagerly, I ran up the stairs to greet them, nearly tripping over the dogs, and I gazed upon what would be, unbeknownst to me at the time, his future wife. I greeted them as I always have with charm, grace, and a shitload of jokes and sarcastic comments. Whereupon I turned to the young Frannie Haller and said to her in my own fashion of greeting, "Holy shit she's real!" Acknowledging my elder brother's success, I slipped my father $20 as I had lost our wager made some 2 years earlier. Afterwards my greeting was met with but a sample of the very intriguing, wrathful, and somewhat comforting attitude that she possesses to this very day, "I'm going to punch you." The first thought that went through my mind was simply, "Oh they're going to do great." A statement proven fact to this very day. Frannie & Ethan, you're doing wonderful! Best of luck and well wishes to whatever goals you put your minds to.

I remember when Ethan and Frannie were first getting their house. I was so excited when, on Christmas, they invited me and Presli to come over for a weekend. It was really fun! We went to get sushi, and went the fair, and got pie, and played video games, and sawm (a lot), and I even won a fish.

My relationship with Ethan and Frannie comes with many wonderful memories over the years. Finding a favorite is hard to pick, because each memory I have with them is filled with laughter, quips, and smiles. Using "Ethan logic," my favorite memory with this beautiful couple is our winery day, which was the most time and money college kids had ever spent while hanging out. We dedicated 7 hours to food and wine, stories, and quality fellowship. I am beyond honored to marry Ethan and Frannie. I thank God for starting their love story at such a young age, and helping their relationship grow stronger throughout each chapter of life. While meeting goals and ambitions as an engineer or educator, their faith in Christ, and especially in each other, has always guided them to making the right decision for their relationship. Seeing that full devotion to each other while succeeding in their fields is truly inspiring, and is a quality all of us should strive to be best at in our marriages and relationships. Love you both, and cheers!
