Wedding Party

Lily Herzog

Maid of Honor

Lily is my daughter and my whole heart. She has grown up right alongside me, and being her mom is the greatest joy of my life. She makes everything brighter, funnier, and more meaningful. Having her stand beside me as my maid of honor is something I will treasure forever.

Best Man

Erica Tate

Bridesmaid

Erica came into our lives and fit right in from the very beginning. She’s the perfect match for Morgan and such a natural addition to our family. We bonded quickly over our shared love of reading and crochet (the cozy hobbies are strong with us). By the time our wedding rolls around, she’ll officially be my sister-in-law, which makes having her as a bridesmaid even more special.

Cristal Ruiz

Bridesmaid

Cristal is one of my oldest and dearest friends. We’ve known each other for over a decade and have been through just about every season of adulthood together. We worked and lived side by side in Florida while working at Walt Disney World, and those years gave us memories I’ll always treasure. From big life changes to everyday chaos, she’s been there for it all. I’m so grateful she’s traveling all the way from Florida to stand by my side.

Hannah Turbeville

Bridesmaid

Hannah was my very first roommate and the one who was there when I moved to Florida and started my Disney College internship. We navigated those early adult years side by side, figuring out life as we went. From big milestones to everyday moments, she’s been part of so much of my story. I’m so grateful she’s traveling all the way from Michigan to stand by my side.

Jessica Hertzfeld

Bridesmaid

Jessica may be my cousin, but we grew up more like sisters. Even though she’s seven years younger than me, we spent so much of our childhood together at our grandparents’ house that the age gap never mattered. She’s been by my side through so many seasons of life, and I’m so grateful she’s also Lily's godmother. I'm so grateful to have her standing by my side.

Katie Imlay

Bridesmaid

Katie and I may be newer friends, but we bonded quickly over our shared love of fantasy romance books (clearly, we have great taste). What started as book chats somehow turned into attempts at starting our own book club (which we fully intend to revive). It makes it even more fun that her husband and Zach have their own friendship too, whether they’re golfing or bowling. I’m so grateful our paths crossed and that she’ll be part of this special day.

Duke Bowman

Ring Bearer

Duke is one of my students and someone who has made a big impact on me. Getting to be part of his life in the classroom has been such a privilege, and I’m so proud of the person he’s becoming. It means a lot to have him as our ring bearer and part of such an important day for us.

Morgan Tate

Officiant

My little brother, built-in best friend, and childhood co-conspirator. From soccer games to movie marathons to long days playing outside, we basically did everything together growing up. Somehow, he went from being my little brother to someone I trust to marry us... which feels both surreal and incredibly special. I wouldn’t want anyone else leading us into this next chapter.
