Maid of Honor
When someone says "BFF," Olivia has immediately thought of Halli since 4th grade. Through every phase of life and across all the miles, Halli has made showing up for Olivia a priority. Whether it was flying to Tampa to watch Olivia compete in the Miss America’s Outstanding Teen Finals in 2014 (even though Olivia didn’t make Top 10… so Halli watched strangers compete instead—LOL), or cheering her on at Medical School Graduation in 2022, Halli’s loyalty and love have never wavered. In junior high and high school, Halli and Olivia were an infamous duo. Odds were you could find them laughing hysterically at an inside joke at any given moment. Their desks were separated to opposite corners of the classroom countless times, and they pulled more than a few pranks that they had to talk their way out of. As they moved into adulthood, navigating new schools, new cities, new jobs, and new relationships, their bond remained strong. As life continues to get busier and busier, Halli remains the kind of friend who’s always just a phone call away—and within minutes, it’s like no time has passed at all. A once-in-a-lifetime kind of friendship that’s stood the test of time (and several teacher warnings), Halli will always be Olivia’s forever best friend.
Maid of Honor

Maid of Honor
Sidney is a Nephrology Fellow at The University of Kentucky. Sidney and Olivia met during Olivia's intern year in Bowling Green, KY. Nothing tests the strength of compatibility like being on nights together! Sidney was Olivia's senior (the best!) during the rotation, and they have been close friends ever since! One of Olivia's fondest memories is their last night shift together when they miraculously received no calls or pages after 11 PM and watched 2 movies (one of them being Avatar) and two episodes of Big Little Lies. Olivia is lucky enough to have had Sidney as a neighbor twice! Their favorite activities together include scary movie marathons on the couch, catching up while "working out" at the apartment gym, and tanning together at the pool. From timeshare trips to Hawaii to cozy nights in, you can always count Sid to be down for it all! Sidney is always there to listen to and support Olivia and Garrison. She is a true, selfless, judgement-free friend Olivia can always rely on. G&O are both so thankful to have Sidney just a few doors down to run out for margs and mexican across the street together at a moment's notice and or carpool to brunch. There are few people they would help move into a second-floor apartment (with heavy, real-wood furniture), but they would do it again in a heartbeat for Sidney. Simply put, Sidney exemplifies Christ's love for others each day, and Olivia and Garrison are so glad to have her in their lives!
Sister of the Bride and Bridesmaid
Carly is Olivia’s little sister—by a whole 10 years! One of Olivia’s core memories is the day Tanya, the Mother of the Bride, announced to their family that she was having a GIRL (Carly) instead of a boy. From that moment on, Olivia has treasured the honor of being Carly’s big sister… except when Carly raids her closet. Over the years, their relationship has come full circle. Once upon a time, Olivia was the one doing Carly’s hair and makeup—now Carly is the beauty guru, and Olivia is lucky if Carly can pencil her in. Carly also spent years cheering Olivia on at pageants and ball games, but when the roles reversed, Olivia was just as proud (and loud!) supporting Carly on the court and as she cheered on the sidelines. They may fight often (as all good sisters do), but at the end of the day, there’s no one they’d rather have in their corner. Whether it’s sister sleepovers, sister dates to the movies and Ashland mall, or debating over who actually owns that one top, their bond is unbreakable. As life goes on, one thing remains constant—Olivia couldn’t imagine life without Carly by her side.
Bridesmaid
Olivia and Kelsey first met in junior high, but their friendship truly grew during high school—bonded by countless basketball games, spontaneous adventures, and a mutual inability to lose gracefully. A talented athlete, Kelsey went on to play college softball at the University of Rio Grande, bringing her signature hustle and heart to everything she does. Throughout Olivia’s med school years, Kelsey visited her in Athens during the early years and then made weekends in Portsmouth feel like home again during the later seasons. Olivia will always be grateful for the way Kelsey brought a little piece of home to some of the busiest and most stressful years of her life. They’ve shared so many memories together—from flying to New York to surprise their best friend Abby for her engagement, to countless girls’ nights out, pool parties, hot tub nights, and even racking up a Snap streak in the thousands. For years, they were each other's ride-or-die through the single seasons—and now, they’re getting to celebrate stepping into their engaged eras together, a full-circle chapter that makes all the memories leading up to it even sweeter. Kelsey is still always down for a weekend getaway, a spontaneous road trip, or a night with her people. Olivia can’t wait to have her by her side for this next big adventure!
Bridesmaid
Abby is a one-of-a-kind gem, and Olivia feels truly honored to know and love her. Abby is the best and most patient teacher (she taught Olivia how to ski!), a talented crafter and creator, a proud farmer at Fuhrmann Orchards, and an avid google reviewer (local guide level 8!). She wears many hats (and rocks them all), but what stands out most is the way she shows up for her friends and family. Their friendship began back in third grade on a field trip, when Olivia was sitting alone because her bus partner was absent. Abby kindly offered to sit with her, and that small act of kindness blossomed into a lifelong friendship. As it turned out, they were neighbors, and from that day forward, they were bus buddies, carpool queens, and co-authors of many forged parent notes to get dropped off at the eachother's house after school. Olivia and Abby have packed a lot of memories into their friendship, from surviving junior high science camp to exploring many cities together on Talented and Gifted field trips. One of the most special moments? When Olivia got to stand by Abby’s side as a bridesmaid on her wedding day. Olivia is thrilled to have Abby by her side and is thankful for the priceless womanpower and advice that Abby has provided throughout the wedding planning process.
Bridesmaid
Olivia and Jordyn first met back in junior high, bonding over sports, trap music, and their shared talent for turning every moment into a comedy show. As freshman JV players, they kept the entire volleyball team awake all night during a gym sleepover because they couldn't stop laughing; at 14 years old, the audacity was strong, and they truly didn’t care. Their friendship has been packed with laughter and hilarious memories. Over the years, they also shared family cruises and beach vacations, thanks to the bonus of having moms who are best friends too. While Jordyn is still just as funny and quick-witted today, she’s also become an incredible nurse and an amazing mother. Watching her balance life with so much strength, love, and laughter has been inspiring and makes having her by Olivia’s side on this special day even more meaningful. Olivia is so thankful for Jordyn’s friendship through every season. Following in their mothers' footsteps, Olivia knows their friendship will keep growing for decades to come and that the best memories are still ahead.
Bridesmaid
Gabby and Olivia first met in 4th grade, but their friendship really took off during middle school and junior high as teammates on countless pee-wee, all-star, and travel basketball teams (go Pink Panthers!). With birthdays just three days apart, they’ve shared more than a few iconic celebrations—often featuring matching outfits. From middle school parties to grown-up cheers (they’re both hitting the big 3-0 this year!), their birthday tradition has truly come full circle. They started college together as freshmen at Shawnee State. Olivia was initially sad when Gabby transferred to Ohio State, but their friendship never skipped a beat. Olivia made frequent trips to Columbus, where Gabby and Abby graciously hosted her for countless weekends. From storming the field after OSU’s 2016 win against that team up north, to legendary Halloween weekends, to cozy Sunday study sessions at the library, Olivia fully embraced her role as an honorary Buckeye—and will forever cherish those memories with her girlfriends. As the years go by, Olivia is always grateful for the time the Forever Gals Snapchat group sets aside for Friendsgiving, Galentine’s Day, and unforgettable girls’ nights out. And when they’re far apart, Olivia loves catching up with Gabby through her travel blog, keeping up to date with her and Robbie's travels, both local and far. Through every season of life, Gabby remains a treasured friend—and Olivia is so excited to have her by her side for this one.
Bridesmaid
Carrisa is a General Surgery resident and was Olivia’s co-intern during her Transitional Year in Bowling Green, KY. They kicked off residency on the same rotation, and during that whole first month, Olivia was (only slightly) intimidated and genuinely unsure if Carrisa even liked her. But everything changed the weekend their first rotation ended—Carrisa invited Olivia out for Mexican and margaritas at Garcia’s, and it quickly became clear that the girl sitting across from her in the booth wasn’t just a colleague, but would turn into a lifelong friend. In fact, Olivia had such a great time that night, she suggested Garcia’s just a few weeks later as the location for her first official date with a younger, mustachioed man named Garrison. (Spoiler: it went well.) Within a month, Carrisa and her now-husband were joining Olivia, Garrison, and their friend Jenna for Olivia’s birthday dinner at House of Cards in Nashville—an unforgettable night that ended just before sunrise. Since then, they’ve shared charcuterie boards, road-tripped to Gatlinburg, celebrated Carrisa’s bachelorette weekend in Savannah, and most importantly, Olivia had the honor of standing by Carrisa’s side on her wedding day. Now, Olivia is thrilled to have Carrisa by her side for this special chapter.
