Lizzie Schwenn
Bridesmaid
One of Maddie’s longest friendships — Maddie and Lizzie met playing travel ball together at just 12 years old, for none other than Xplozion Softball. From Maddie: "Lizzie, from making you watch movies like the Grinch (I know it was traumatizing but it was worth it haha) and Forrest Gump, to going to Scotty McCreery in a snow storm, adventures with you have always been fun! I never would have known the friendship that would blossom over the years. We have had so many good laughs, I have many snap chat videos that I often watch and its crazy to see how much we have grown! I am so proud of how hard you work and push yourself! And I will say this until it happens, you and I are going to go to an Imagine Dragons concert even if I have to drag you haha. I love you Lizzie, thank you for standing by my side!!"
Hannah Ewings
Bridesmaid
From meeting for the first time at a campground to becoming close friends in high school — it’s crazy how small the world is. From Maddie: "I never would have known that the girl I let borrow one of my halloween costumes at the campground would become one of my good friends. From the DNR class in 9th grade, to struggling with my car trying to get to the hockey game in the 10th grade (RIP the Mercedes haha), to even getting stuck in a rain storm at Devils Lake... you and I have great stories to tell! I think about the fun times at the hockey and football games we had together. I even cherish the times camping with you and learning about the Puggie Pie princess. Thank you for being apart of this special day where we can make even more memories together! Heres to the next adventure!! Love you!!!"
Grace Radlund
Bridesmaid
From meeting through Xplozion Softball to playing together in high school, these two became the best of friends! From Maddie: "Grace I am so happy to have met you! I remember hanging out for the first time and oh what fun we had! I never knew that years later you would be on of my bestest of friends! From all the late nights playing softball to chalking someones driveway (even if I couldn't spell under pressure IYKYK haha). One of my favorite memories is my senior year of high school when we played fall ball together for a short period, and when we got the plaque and there wasn't enough for everyone and I gave mine away. You showed up at my door with yours cut in half so we both could have a part of it. I still have that half to this day! Even though we don't get to see each other much I love all of our crazy conversations on ft. You always cheer me up even on the rainiest of days and you don't even have to try! You have always been so supportive and I cannot thank you enough! I thank God everyday for bringing our paths together, my life wouldn't be the same with out you! Thank you for being apart of this special day, it means more than you know! Love you!!"
Dezarae Maldonado
Bridesmaid
Meeting at USF during Maddie’s freshman year, Dez took her under her wing — and they became best friends almost overnight. From Maddie: "Deza!! Though my time at USF was short, you made a long lasting impact. I found a great friend in you when I got the courage to ask you about marvel at practice haha. From there I found someone who I looked up to, your kindness and your hard work amazes me! You helped me through hard times, those Monday night movie nights meant the world to me! Not to mention the kindness your family has shown me, you all have always made me feel welcomed and loved!! Thank you for everything, hope to plan another trip to universal here soon!! Love you Deza!!"
