Wedding Party
Morgan Michaud
Maid of Honor
Morgan is someone who became my one of my best friends in the most seemless, natural way ever. While we met in the Texas Roadhouse to-go room, our friendship really started in my dorm room at Miami University. What began as random hangouts and study sessions became a friendship I would not change for the world. She is one of the most caring, considerate, smart, and strongest people I know. Absolute no brainer when I decided to make her one of my maids of honor.
Ayla Casto
Maid of Honor
Ayla, also a friendship that came in an unexpected way (Garrison and Roadhouse), has quickly become one of my best friends the past few years. Before we even met officially, followed by multiple indirect conversations through Garrison, we knew we’d be close just because of our childhood-adulthood love for Taylor Swift. She is my go-to call for any reason, whether that’s a lost cat, new music, a random TikTok, or just to share how pretty the sky is. Ayla’s compassion and heart are what makes her a best friend, but also such a vital part of my life as I prepare to spend the rest of my life with the random coworker who wouldn’t stop talking to her.
Olivia Dilley
Bridesmaid
As she would remind anyone who asked, Liv has known me since I was 16 years old when she decided to start dating my brother (somehow). Liv has been a constant support in my life, allowing me to rant about random things, lean on when I need it most, and of course to talk about Taylor Swift with. She quickly became not only my friend, but a form of a sister even before I stood next to her when she said yes to becoming a Dilley. It’s only fitting to have her organized brain, hype-woman energy, and passion on the most important day of my life.
Eva Dilley
Bridesmaid
Eva is one of the most passionate, driven, and caring people in my life. While she lives in Cincinnati (why), she has not only been my brother’s girlfriend/fiance/wife, she has been someone I know I can rely on to feel supported and encouraged. Although her debating skills and insane educational background can make game nights competitive, she is someone anyone is lucky to know, love, and have in their corner. Having another sister next to me on this day is something I never thought I’d get the chance to experience, but there is no doubt I am so excited for it.
Braleigh Budd
Bridesmaid
Braleigh is someone I am so happy I have come to know. Her aspirations, determination, humor, and care are just some of the qualities that make her such a great friend, sister, and person. I know I can always count on her to help educate Garrison on pop-culture or online references he somehow doesn’t understand, and be right there with me making fun of him at any point. While I was not with her as she grew up, I am lucky to know her now and cannot wait to see all the things she will come to do. I am so grateful and excited that someone who was once just Garrison’s little sister at Our Lady is now going to be my sister-in-law.
Jacob Baum
Best Man
My best friend and best man: I have known Jacob Baum since we were in preschool. Over the course of those almost 20 years, we have spent an absurd amount of time hanging out together. From preschool at St. Cecilia, to Our Lady, to BRHS, and then Ohio State. I was lucky to meet my best friend at such a young age. I always knew that he would be by my side on this big day.
Greyson Budd
Groomsman
One of my brothers: I don’t think I could’ve asked for a more funny, more supportive, and caring brother. Through highs and lows, I always know that you have my back. Additionally, Greyson can reference TV shows, movies, and old YouTube videos like no other.
Braden Budd
Groomsman
One of my brothers: I couldn’t be luckier to have Braden as an older brother. He is one of the funniest people I know, and is a great person to watch any NFL or college football game with (do not disturb if Ohio State loses). I am blessed to have spent a lot of time traveling with him (and my Dad) for sports tournaments growing up.
Jacob Dilley
Groomsman
Soon to be brother in-law number 1: I have been fortunate to spend so much time with Jake over the last 5 years. From watching the Steelers and Ohio State games together (also, not to be disturbed if Ohio State loses), playing many board/card games, playing Xbox, and watching him become a Dad. I am excited to have him as another brother, and to officially be Theo’s uncle.
Andrew Dilley
Groomsman
Soon to be brother in-law number 2: From the moment I met Andrew, I felt like we could be friends even if I wasn’t dating/engaged/marrying his sister. Andrew is someone who I would explore nature with, talk with about music, attempt to create fancy cocktails with, play Xbox and hangout with. A great person who I am excited to have as another brother.
