Maid of Honor
Michelle and I first met in the 6th grade where we promptly determined we were enemies. We were both the smart girls in advanced classes and instant competition. However, 7th grade and 8th grade we became best friends and shared everything. We disconnected a little in high school but reunited at USF and have been besties since. Michelle is my ride or die, my biggest competition, but my biggest cheerleader, and the Type 2 to my Type 3 Enneagram.
Best Man
Ryan’s older brother, Kyle is always there to support and guide Ryan. He has many a story of their good times over the years.
Bridesmaid
Best friends since pre-k (not really though), Lindsey and I shared many a hot summer day on the ball field since playing travel softball together in high school. Lindsey and I are family at this point, with our children calling each other cousins and sharing holidays together. Lindsey and I traveled across the country for 17 days together and lived together in college and have still managed to stay friends throughout all of the years. She is the supporter and dream chaser I've always needed in my life. We have the worst luck together and the best stories.
Groomsman
Derick is Ryan’s childhood best friend. They’ve continued to remain close even though they are miles away. They got themselves into plenty of trouble throughout the years and have some sort of inside secret, JER, that only few know of.
Bridesmaid
Margaret and I met later in life while teaching together at Spoto and were instantly connected. Our hatred of people, love of chips, queso, and margaritas, and weirdness brought us close together. Margaret and I have similar personalities and beliefs, which make us a blast together. We had students convinced we were half-sisters, and are Nighthawk and Dragon from Step Brothers. Although she lives way up North somewhere, we still chat frequently and support one another in life's endeavors.
Groomsman
Rob is Ryan’s college roommate. They managed to live together for several years and remain friends- a feat few accomplish. Ryan and Rob are fun to be around when together and the witty banter is nonstop.
Bridesmaid
Kelly is Ryan's sister. She has been one of his biggest supporters in all of his endeavors - wrestling and teaching alike. There are plenty of stories filled with shenanigans involving the two of them. She is fun-loving, spirited, a dog-lover, and a source of wisdom when needed. She is always down to do something active and hang out and has some kick-ass dance skills.
Groomsman
Jack is Derick’s dad and like a second father to Ryan. Jack has been around since Ryan was a kid and has continued to be a source of advice and support throughout the years.
