Wedding Party
Bailey Birman
Maid of Honor
Bailey isn’t just my sister, she’s also my lifelong best friend. Although we may have butted heads when we were younger, age has brought us closer together than I ever could’ve imagined. From binge-watching Criminal Minds, to getting matching tattoos, to weekly FaceTime calls, Bailey has always been someone I can count on to have my back and cheer me up when I need it most. I can’t imagine my special day without Bailey by my side, and I’m so lucky to have her as my Maid of Honor.
Maddee Barton
Bridesmaid
Maddee is my oldest friend, having known each other since we were just 7 years old, and I am so lucky to have someone like her in my life. Some of my favorite memories with Maddee over the years include playing Rock Band in her parents’ living room, staying up way too late talking about life, and getting to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. I am so glad I get to keep my side of our promise and can’t wait to celebrate with her!
Ashley Grove
Bridesmaid
Ashley and I met at a fifth-grade bowling mixer when we happened to be assigned to the same lane, and we have been nearly inseparable ever since. Ashley is the best travel partner, cooking teacher, and friend I could ask for. I cannot imagine my big day without Ashley, and I’m so excited to have her there!
Kenzie Collier
Bridesmaid
Kenzie became my friend in fourth grade after she transferred to the same elementary school. We quickly hit it off and have done so much together, from dance recitals and orchestra concerts, to beach trips and matching tie-dye shirts. After a brief period of not staying in touch, I am so grateful that Kenzie is back in my life and that I get to celebrate with her!
Tristan Howard
Bridesman
As my soon-to-be brother-in-law, I’m so excited to have Tristan standing by my side on the big day! I couldn’t have picked a better match for my sister, and I feel so lucky to be gaining him as part of our family. I’m looking forward to plenty more game nights and vacations all together in the years to come.
Chris Hutchins
Best Man
I’m lucky to have Chris as my brother. We haven’t always gotten along because we’re as close to opposites as brothers can get, but as I’ve grown older I’ve come to appreciate having his perspective. He’s loyal, down to earth, and always ready to help out without hesitation. I’m grateful to have him by my side as my Best Man.
Evin Drew
Groomsman
Evin and I became friends in high school, largely due to his great sense of humor. I have a lot of great memories of playing games in his parents’ basement and riding around Grand Rapids in his car, since he was the first to get his license. I’ve always admired his authenticity and adventurous spirit, and as we’ve gotten older I’ve appreciated that I can talk to him about anything.
Cole Nelson
Groomsman
I’ve known Cole forever, but we became close friends in 8th grade when we started bonding over video games in class. In high school, he opened my eyes to new music, we went to awesome concerts together, and we even started our own rock band! Cole is one of the coolest and most laid-back people I know, but he’s also the kind of friend who always shows up when it matters. I can’t imagine my wedding without him.
Ian Klug
Groomsman
Ian is one of the smartest and kindest people I know. He might not know it, but we’ve always shared a bit of friendly competition, and he’s inspired me to be better in everything I do. Ian is down for anything and has a way of bringing people together, whether it’s traveling, camping, or hanging out in his parents’ hot tub. I’m grateful for all the memories we’ve made and for the many more to come.
Jacob Widlits
Groomsman
Jake and I have had some great adventures together, especially while working on entrepreneurial projects. He’s endlessly creative and ambitious and constantly reminds me to think outside the box. I’ve learned a lot from him over the years and I’m inspired by the way he sees the world.
