Maid of Honor
Kacey and I have known each other since our first year of teaching back in 2006. We have traveled together and spent many evenings at one another's houses cooking, laughing, drinking wine and having exclusive "Just Dance" parties. We may not get to see each other nearly enough now that I moved, but distance doesn't change the love I have for Kacey. I could not imagine our wedding day without her by my side!
Maid of Honor
Hannah and I met during our first year at Rock Canyon High School in 2013. We started hanging out with the other new ladies to the building, but quickly became a duo within that group. We started doing everything together from taking our dogs to the park, to joining workout gyms together. We don't see each other everyday at work anymore, but we always make time for one another. I am so excited that Hannah will be a part of our wedding celebration!
Best Man
Cory and I have been friends since we were on the same little league baseball team (the Gophers) when we were 7 years old. Coincidentally, we grew up only a couple blocks away from one another when we were even younger living in Grand Rapids before moving to Lowell, MI. I guess we were always meant to be best friends. Cory and I shared a locker in the 8th grade which is a pretty big deal. Ever since then he has been my best friend. He and I would share a lot of memories, laughs and time with each others families over the years. His Mom, Dad and brothers have been like mine and mine his. We have always looked out for each other; best friends and brothers we will always be. I am extremely proud to have him as a part of our wedding and our lives.
Groomsman
I met AJ when I was just a boy coming home from the hospital. He was a few years older than me & taught me how to navigate many things in my life. He has always looked out for our younger brother Jon & me, even when we pry deserved it from bullies when we were little. He showed us how to get back up when we were knocked down and how to swing back when life got tough. Jon said something a long time ago speaking of him; if we didn't know AJ we would absolutely be friends with him when we finally met him. Jon was absolutely right. We may have had to team up a couple times to straighten him out but surely we would all be best friends. Seeing now how Julia gets along with AJ like a brother it all seems to fit so well. Plus now she does the straightening out.
Officiant
"Uncle" Andy has known my dad Chris since they were 10 years old. He was the best man at my parents wedding and has been in their lives for every part if it - including the night before I was born. Being the Chief Executive officer of the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges keeps him rather busy these days! Bill and I couldn't be more honored to have Andy perform our wedding ceremony!
Flower Girl
Charlotte is Julia's 3rd cousin on her dad's side. She got some great practice as a flower girl last September in Clint and Caroline's wedding and is very excited to do it again for us!!
