Janie Rainwater
Maid of Honor
We met in 2021, somewhere between math homework, FFA conventions, and the chaos of living together for a year. Janie and I have survived it all; couch girl talks, big milestones, and even traveling out of the country, where she got swabbed at the airport. She’s equal parts hilarious and supportive, which makes every moment with her memorable. I couldn’t imagine anyone else standing by my side as my maid of honor.
