Matron of Honor
Rae and I have been best friends from pretty much the day she was born. I was a little over a year old at the time and she immediately became "my baby." Since that day, we have spent countless hours together and I wouldn't be able to marry my man without her by my side! She lives in Virginia with her husband, Josh, and two adorable dogs!
Best Man
Ben is my cousin and my best friend. He and I grew up hanging out all of the time. Whether we're drinking coffee, playing video games through the middle of the night, or getting lost in (or on our way to) the woods, Ben and I have had our share of adventures. Ben is a phenomenal musician and lives with his cat in South Carolina.
Bridesmaid
Missy is one of my older sisters. When we were little, she and I used to not get along well and would get each other in trouble all the time. But as we grew up, we grew closer and closer together until one day I realized I couldn't do life without her! Missy lives in PA and has the most incredible job at Sight and Sound!
Groomsman
Jon has had the fortune of knowing me since the day I was born. In a surprise turn of events, we made it through sharing a room without killing each other, and for that, I am allowing him to be a groomsman (he's also the best older brother a guy could ask for, but why be nice?). Jon is a teacher and lives in South Carolina with his wife, Angela.
Bridesmaid
Emily is my oldest sister. She and I have always been close and share a special bond that only a youngest and oldest sister can share. Her support through the years has given me confidence to become the woman I am today! She lives north of Chicago with her husband, Ezra and their baby girl, Anna!
Groomsman
I first met Josh in high school during a visit to my (future) cross country team. I ran with him during some 400's and just about died. Fast forward a few years, and Josh and I were training together and team co-captains during our final year of cross country. Josh is in grad school and lives in California/South Carolina.
Bridesmaid
April is Matt's sister and I'm so excited that she will soon by my sister as well! She and I are both cat lovers and have bonded over both that and incessantly teasing Matt! I'm so happy that she'll be standing up there supporting both of us on our special day! She lives in SC with her amazing husband, Ivan!
Groomsman
Sam was my teammate that I struggled to keep up with my freshman year. Despite that, we ended up training together a lot over the next few seasons. Whether it's running, pick-up basketball, or shooting Roman candles at him in the dark, hanging out with Sam is always a party. He is an engineer living in North Carolina.
