Maid of Honor
Katie is my one and only big sister & built in Maid of Honor and best friend. Despite occasionally butting heads growing up (that might be an understatement...) Katie is now my closest friend and favorite travel companion. Pre-COVID we've adventured to Scotland, Greece, London, tore around Paris & Amsterdam in layovers, and much more! Katie's coming all the way from Connecticut where she's studying for her PhD in Philosophy to stand with me as my maid of honor, and I couldn't be more excited!
Best Man
Matt is my brother and my best friend. We both have the same sense of humor, and I have no idea what my life would be like without him around to pretend like we're both funny. He's my favorite brother, and I'm proud to have him as my best man.
Bridesmaid
Kaity, or "Wifey" as you may know her, and I officially met on our first day as new graduate nurses at Pomona Valley. Since then we've been inseperable, living together for over 5 years. Kaity brings joy & sunshine to any room she enters! She's also newly become Mrs. Baron, though her now husband Justin promised I could share her as my wifey!
Groomsman
John and I first became friends in the third grade. We pretty much grew up together, and replacing a friend like him would be impossible. After many years of doing marching band together, and endlessly discussing which local waterpark is better, he is one of my closest friends. Anyone would be lucky to have a friend like John, and I'm so glad our families have been so close all this time.
Bridesmaid
Ashley and I met on the first day of 4th grade. She had just moved to town, and we became instant friends. We've been through school, choir, car accidents, and so much more togetherness . Ashley's now rocking it as a social media manager for Bentley University and is currently pursuing her dream in a prestigious MFA program for writing!
Groomsman
Not to be confused with Brandon! Branden and I really became close friends at the beginning of high school, and after years of late night horror movies, board games, and shenanigans with public property, Branden was an obvious choice to have in our wedding party.
Bridesmaid
Kristen is my oldest & dearest friend. Technically, we've known eachother since before birth, as our parents were best friends. We were actually due on the same day, too- but I was impatient and came a month early. Kristen is a (basically) professional baker & is currently serving at the amazing IF ministry in Dallas!
Groomsman
My oldest friend from all the way back in first grade! For years growing up we played soccer together and spent the afternoons afterwards with our friends, playing video games and goofing off. I was bummed when we ended up at separate schools for a few years, but that never got in the way of our friendship. Some of our best days back then were spent overdoing it on energy drinks and trying to pull all nighters just for fun. I'm so glad we're still friends, and I can hardly believe we've been friends long enough that Mac is about to become a father!
Bridesmaid
Danielle loves big- she approached me, a shy new grad at work and basically said hey, you're tall like me and we're going to be friends! Over 7 years, 2 kids (for her), several jobs later, she remains one of my closest friends. Her children Andy & Abby will be my flower children in the wedding (looking absolutely adorable!!)
Groomsman
Matt is one of those guys who can be hard to read, until he opens his mouth and you learn he's the funniest man in the room. Matt's been a good friend since High School, and I've always appreciated his sense of empathy and humor.
Bridesmaid
Haily, Kaity's sister, is basically my sister as well. We met through Kaity and became instant friends. Haily is one of the most supportive & loving people I know. She also knows how to make sure everyone is having a good time- keep a lookout for her on the dance floor! Haily is currently rocking it in Indiana working in marketing for Lucas Oil!
Groomsman
The wild card. I'm never quite sure what Brandon is going to be up to next, but it's always something fun. He's a great friend, and I'm glad we've been getting up to no good for over a decade now.
Bridesmaid
Tayler is the reason for all of this! If it weren't for her insistence on online dating for me, Sam & I probably would have never met. Tayler is one of my best friends from my first nursing job at Pomona Valley, and is one of the reasons Kaity & I stayed sane there! Tayler is working as an amazing flight nurse for the Maternal-Fetal Transport team at Pomona!
Groomsman
I met Colin when we were neighbors in the dorms at college. It was hard seeing someone so ugly who had no friends, so I took him under my wing, and his parents have paid me to be nice to him ever since. Jokes aside I'm happy to have Colin with me on the big day, and I'm so proud of him and his wife for having their first child Aliya recently. Colin's always been a good guy to the people around him, and he's going to be a great father.
Bridesmaid
Ana & I met early on after I started at Pomona Valley as a new grad. We became quick friends & trained for labor & delivery together with Kaity. Ana is quick to love & her energy fills the room! Ana spends her spare time riding around the desert with her hubby Josh & three beautiful kids Ryan, Makayla, & Kylie.
Groomsman
Josh was a good friend in high school, and I'm glad nothing has changed. He's a man that's good to his friends, and knows how to have a good time. His commitment to the people around him and the projects works on are admirable, and anyone would be lucky to have a fraction of the passion he does.
Bridesmaid
Kaity brought Candice into my life, and I couldn't be more grateful! Fun fact, the first night we met, I drove my car over a parking brick when we went to pick up Chipotle... (oops). We have had so many amazing adventures together in Iceland, Greece, and more! Candice is currently living her dream in Kuwait teaching history & traveling in her spare time (COVID permitting!)
