Matron of Honor
Jill is my older sister. Jill is the most selfless, fun & kindest person I know. We have been through just about every milestone together and I can't wait share another one as you stand by my side at our wedding. Jill always has a caesar in her hand -- but this year will be different as she's expecting her first baby! I will keep the kleenex stocked at the wedding because the waterworks come easy to this chick!
Matron of Honor
Carly is also my older sister and fellow ging. Carly will always be the hostest with the mostest and it's a bonus she lives five minutes away from us. It's pretty often we stop in at their house for one beer at 7pm and leave at 2am. She's also the mother of the two cutest flower girls who we can't get enough of. She is always up for a visit and I'm so happy I was blessed with a sister like her who is standing beside me on our big day.
Bridesmaid
Nicole is Jeffs little sister and my soon to be sister-in-law. Nicole is such a great time to be around and she is always someone we can count on. From music festivals to card nights we always have a good time with her & Darren. Nicole & Heather were business partners for a brief time and shared many laughs, mishaps, late nights and wine. I can't wait for Nicole to stand by me and become my family on our wedding day!
Bridesmaid
Tara is Jeff's little sister and my soon to be sister-in-law. Tara and Heather have a lot in common such as shopping, yard games, socializing and binge watching Netflix, which is why our bond has grown so close. Tara is so caring and thoughtful and is always one phone call (or walk) away from a good time. I'm so happy I get to officially call her my family!
Bridesmaid
Paige and Heather have been BFF since the pre-school days. Paige is the life of the party and the kindest, most genuine person. We have travelled the world together and have come to realize we don't need a destination to have a good time. Our day would not be the same without her standing next to me. I will be sure the red wine is fully stocked for some magic tricks in the evening.
Bridesmaid
Rachel has also been in my life since the pre-school days. Rachel has the most creative mind and bubbly personality. I have always said if you have a problem with Rach it must be you, because it can't be a problem with her. When Rachel is dancing please distance yourself from her as she tends to whip her coat around and dance like no-one is watching. We've been on many adventures together and I'm so happy she's beside me for this one!
Bridesmaid
Kylah and I have been best friends since the first day in high school, although I did not sit beside her on the bus much to her dismay. Krazy Ky will unfortunately not be dancing on tables at this wedding as she is expecting her second baby! Her personality and laugh are infectious and I will never forget the days of binge watching Greys Anatomy until we could memorize it. Can't wait for many more years of milestones & friendship with her.
Master of Ceremonies
Sara is one of my closest friends. Sara, Zack, Jeff & I have had the best times over the last few years and I'm so excited for the adventures to come. From concerts to travelling to doing kickboxing, volleyball and numerous wine nights together, my day wouldn't be the same without her there. Sara is so loyal, strong and supportive and I know that whatever life throws at me she will always show up with a bottle of wine and snacks for me.
Flower Girl
Say hello to the life of the party until 8:00pm. These girls have a way of stealing your heart and we owe it to them that we know each character in Paw Patrol and what the pups jobs are. We are so excited they are going to be a part of our day and can't wait to continue to watch them learn & grow!
Best Man
Meet the younger, dumber, weaker and uglier Vanrabaeys bro. Heather believes Jeff is jealous because Jared was blessed with the hair, dancing skills & dimples Jeff never got. He is such a great person and we're so happy he will stand by our side on our wedding day!
Groomsman
Jared & Jeff have been great buddies since high school. Jared will not miss out on a good time, even if it means coming down for a few hours with the boys. Jared is a happy-go-lucky guy who can float around any crowd and strike up a conversation with anyone. Jared show's his competitive side in intense games of pictionary and cards and is always down for a couples game night with his wife Audrey
Groomsman
Zack (or beer league civ) and Jeff have been good buddies since high school. Zack is always willing to lend a hand when there is a project over my head. Heather, Jeff, Sara & Zack have had many nights together boating, playing yard games, watching tv and travelling. PS - Do not let this guy mix your drinks!
Groomsman
Billy is my little brother and Jeff's soon to be brother-in-law. His quick one liner's and chirps keep Jeff on his toes. He is always down for a good time and is always a phone call away if you need anything. Heather & Billy were close in age growing up and have many memories throughout childhood. Life wouldn't be the same without you in it! Please be aware if you make eye contact with Bill near the bar, you may have to do a shot with him.
Groomsman
Darren is Jeff's soon to be brother-in-law and friend. He is getting married to Nicole next year. Whenever the farm is in a pinch, Darren's their (unpaid) man. He is always down for a few cold ones just down the road. Darren has always been so supportive and there for us when we need him. We're so excited he'll be there with us to celebrate!
Groomsman
Matt and Jeff have been friends since kindergarten. Matt's easy going personality makes it easy to strike up any conversation and he can get along with anybody. If you happen to see him sleeping while standing up on the dance floor, please do not wake as he will eventually catch his second wind.
Groomsman
Ben and Jeff have been friends since childhood. Although Ben might be gone for six months at a time, every time he comes back it feels like we haven't skipped a beat. Please don't let this man ride your dirt bike until he has had some lessons, as you might spend your Saturday night in the emergency department. Ben is a loyal friend and we're happy he can be home to celebrate our wedding!
Master of Ceremonies
There's not many people who can MC a wedding and say that they have lived with both the bride & the groom. If there's someone in the crowd that has dirt on both of us, he's our guy. Allan is such a great guy who can always turn a bad day into a good one by a simple conversation. If you're looking for a story or knee-slapper, look no further. Our day wouldn't be the same without him saying a few one-liners and stories.
