Maid of Honor
Katelyn and I met in 6th grade Orchestra class where we bonded over how much we both didn't enjoy participating in orchestra, LOL! She has been my best friend ever since. Katelyn and I went to Ball State together too! She is in her senior year studying Media Development & Design in Journalism Graphics and has minors in Professional Writing and Sports Studies. Katelyn has stuck by my side through all of my past relationships and has been involved with Nick and I since the very beginning. She's high-energy, extremely supportive, and absolutely hilarious. I genuinely can't imagine my life without her. Katelyn has a special relationship with my mom as well, which my mom and I both deeply cherish. It was an absolute no-brainer to make her maid of honor.
Best Man
Brad and I both played football for Noblesville where he was the star running back. After high school, Brad and I moved into the dorms together freshman year at Ball State and we were also roommates again junior year. Brad completed his nursing degree and now works in the ICU in Iowa. Brad is one of the most dependable and dedicated guys you'd ever meet, proven by the amount of time I watched him spend studying and working to get through nursing school. Emma and I are so glad Brad is able to come celebrate and be apart of our wedding.
Bridesmaid
I can't marry my mister without my sister! Katie is my younger sister and my mini-me (people actually mistake us for each other all the time). She just graduated from Noblesville High School and is attending Embry Riddle Aeronautical University where she is studying Computational Math on the Engineering track with a minor in Space Studies. Katie and I danced together at Ballerinas Academy of Dance for 10 years before I left for college, and have gotten the opportunity to travel across the U.S. and take on various mission trips together. She's my biggest supporter and a frequent visitor of my closet (and now that she's my size, I can borrow her clothes too, LOL). There's no way my day would be complete without her contagious laughter and spunky personality!
Groomsman
Michael is my older brother. We share a lot of similar interests in video games, Star Wars, and comedy. The biggest difference between us is that while I chose a life of athletics in school, Michael played and continues to play music. Emma and Michael were friends before Emma and I started dating. They even did matching R2-D2 and BB-8 costumes on a Give Kids the World mission trip.
Bridesmaid
Mae is the most recent amazing addition to my life! Mae is not only my co-worker at Sophia's Bridal and Tux, but she has also quickly become one of my best and most trusted friends. She is my go-to gal when things need to get done, and I know I can count on her to remember all the little details day-of. She is always playing the mom role and taking care of everyone wherever she goes. Mae is the strongest badass I know, and I am beyond proud to call her a bridesmaid on our special day!
Groomsman
Jake is my cousin on my dad's side. During family get-togethers when we were younger, it was often him and I that would go off on our own to play football or something of the sort. He has one more semester left in school at IUPUI and is graduating with a degree in elementary education. Jake is a very reliable and easy-going guy. He can get along with anyone which made him such a great addition to our wedding party.
Bridesmaid
Bri and I met in our sorority at Ball State when she became my Big! (For those that don't know, she acts as a mother figure to me within Alpha Omicron Pi) She is my voice of reason, the one I come to with deep struggles, and my go-to for advice of any kind. She just graduated from Ball State in Spring 2022 with a degree in Elementary Education. She's a cat mom, a huge nature lover, and an incredible human rights activist. Bri is an amazing example of a leader, and is someone I constantly look up to. They say you find your bridesmaids in Greek Life, and they were right! I absolutely cannot get married without my Big by my side.
Groomsman
Jack has been a close friend of Emma's since middle school and has been extremely supportive of Nick and Emma's relationship from day 1. He was more than willing to step up when unexpected complications led to us needing another groomsman and we can't thank him enough! Jack is the life of the party and the first one on the dance floor. We are so happy to have his fun-loving energy in our wedding party!

Shelly was one of my roommates my junior year of college and we clicked immediately. We share a favorite TV show and can’t go a day without texting each other a joke from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia or Glee. She and Nick are super close too which makes our relationship really special! Shelly only refers to Nick as “King” and was a frequent visitor at our apartment when we lived in Muncie. She always knows how to make us laugh and is easily the best storyteller. Even though we’ve only known each other a short time, I can’t imagine my life without her. I can’t wait for you all to hear her beautiful voice on our big day!
