Maid of Honor
Jordan and I started as new grads together right out of school. We instantly became more than work friends but lifelong sisters and friends. I am often called her "other husband" by her significant other, and there has hardly been a single day that has gone by in the last five years that we have not spoken.
Bridesmaid
Kacie and I met during OTA school at Parkland College and then worked together and the OG (Olive Garden) she is an amazing free spirit!
Bridesmaid
Amanda and I met in OTA school at Parkland and ended up sitting next to each other and the rest is history! She also recently gave me another niece to love and cherish!
Bridesmaid
Sami and I met in 2014 working at the OG (Olive Garden) and then lived together for many years in the 811 house that hosted so many good times they can't even be named! She also gave me another nephew to love and watch grow!
Bridesmaid
Meghan and I met through mutual friends (Sami) and then worked together at the OG- I also ended up living in her old room at the 811 house and we have shared countless memories (some of which we remember...). We share a love of planning ahead and being type A!
Bridesmaid
Sarah and I met through our significant others (Josh and Colin), who are childhood best friends, and we have been meme-sending and cat-loving pals ever since!
Beer Man
Jared and I met through mutual friends and his twin sister Meghan, and he also worked at the OG and frequented the 811 house. He is has become a part of my closest group of friends and has been entrusted with being the official "Beer Man" at our wedding!
Best Man
My big brother and the one I looked up to growing up. From always wanting to hang out with him and his friends to playing catch together in the backyard, I was his Best Man in 2014, now it is his turn!
Best Woman
The best big sister! I could never imagine the growth of our relationship when we were kids. Someone I can confide in and who has been there for me through good and bad times. I was her "Man of Honor" in 2021, so Best Women is only fitting.
Groomsman
Everyone has that one "red-headed" friend, right? Been close friends since high school and is one of those friends that will always tell me what I "need" to hear regardless of if I like it. We have been through it all - literally, that is why he is NOT giving a speech.
Groomsman
From nearly hating each other in the 5th grade to best friends. We were practically inseparable through high school and college and had people believing we were cousins. The photo of me holding Jon is a testament to our friendship, as we have photos together of that same pose going back to 2006.
Groomsman
The kid that moved from California into our neighborhood. We've been friends since I was nearly 9 years old. We would be riding our skateboards from the moment the sun came up until it went down. We truly grew up together and is one of those friends that no matter how long you go without seeing each other, the moment you do, its as if no time has even passed.
Groomsman
Oh Dinger! Easily one of the nicest people I have ever known. Tory met him in high school and introduced him to me before I got there. We instantly clicked and became close friends. He was often the one that grounded us during the great and bad times. There was hardly a time where the three of us were not together.
