Parents of the Bride
My parents, my heart, my soul, and my greatest cheerleaders. They have shaped every part of who I am. Through their love, patience, and constant support, they’ve taught me how to love fiercely, how to work hard, care genuinely for others, and always reach for my very best. It’s so hard being away from them but they haven’t once stopped routing me on from afar. I am so grateful for the incredible parents and role models they have always been. I’m still working on paying them back with my “tip” money.
Maid of Honor
My sister and best friend for 42 years. (Even when she tried to act like she didn’t know me when we were in high school). We have walked through every season of life together, seeing each other at our very best and our very worst. We have always stood by each other’s side through thick and thin. Having her stand beside me on this day means more to me than I can express. She has been one of the most important people in my life, and I am so grateful to share this moment with her.
Aunt of Honor
More than my aunt, a best friend since day one. She has been my safe place, my strength, and my constant through every season of my life. She has always had my back, loved me fiercely, and carried me through moments I never could have gotten through on my own. Her love has been such a light in even my darkest times. Wherever she goes, she brings the best Tina Turner energy, joy, and light, and my life is better because of her.
Bridesmaid
My sister-in-law and my friend first, for almost 22 years, and truly family in every sense. I’m so glad she listened to me when I told her “you should meet my brother”. She is the most incredible wife to him and the most loving, devoted mom to my nieces. From day one, she has always made time for me and has shown up whenever I’ve needed her. She brings so much happiness into my life, and I cherish every moment I get to spend with her.
Bridesmaid
My cousin, but truly one of my closest friends. I have adored her since the day she was born, and no matter the years or the age gap between us, that bond has only grown stronger. She holds such a special place in my heart, and there is nothing I wouldn’t do for her, just as I know she would do the same for me. Having her in my life is a gift I cherish every day. Thanks for being one of my first color clients when you were 5 years old.
Bridesmaid
My firstborn niece and one of my greatest blessings. I have loved her deeply since the moment she came into this world, and I am so thankful for the bond we have shared for the past 18 years. Some people say she’s my twin and that couldn’t make me more proud. Her smile lights up my heart and reminds me how lucky I am to be her aunt.
Bridesmaid
My niece, sweet sis, the funniest human I’ve ever known, and someone I have adored her entire life. I could spend every day with her and never get tired of her energy, her laughter, and her big heart. Her joy is contagious, and being around her brings me with so much happiness. She is truly such a light in my life.
Bridesmaid
My best friend for almost 20 years. Not a day has gone by that we haven’t stayed in touch, shared a laugh, or been there for each other. She has been my constant, my person, part of our family and someone who would do anything for me. There’s never a dull moment when we are together. Leaving her when I moved to Nashville was extremely tough for me. There is no friend in this world like her, and I am so grateful for our forever bond.
Bridesmaid
My soon-to-be sister-in-law, who welcomed me with open arms and love from the very first day we met. Being around her is always so fun. Her calm presence brings so much comfort and peace. I am so grateful for the love, kindness, and warmth she has shown me from the very beginning and I feel so lucky to have her in my life.
Flower Girls
My sweet and beautiful flower girls, whom I adore. Their joy, energy, and innocence light up every room, and I feel so lucky to have them be a part of this special day.
Usher
The one who made me an aunt for the first time. He holds such a special place in my heart and from the moment he was born, I’ve adored him. Watching him grow up into the incredible young man he is today has been one of the greatest joys of my life. We share a bond that means so much to me, and I’m forever grateful for all the memories we’ve shared over the years. I hope his friends always think I’m the coolest aunt. Having him stand with us on this day means the world to me.
Usher
My younger nephew who I adore just as much. From the moment he came into our lives, he’s brought so much joy and laughter with him. He has the most fun, bubbly personality and whenever I’m around him, it reminds me how lucky I am to get to be his aunt. Being around him is impossible without smiling. I’m so proud to have him as part of our wedding day and grateful for the love and energy he’s always shared with me. I’m so proud to be his aunt
Personal Attendant
Beyond thankful for having her as my aunt. We’ve been so close my entire life. We’ve shared such a close bond, and she’s always been there for me through everything. Her love, encouragement, and steady support have meant the world to me, and I’m so grateful to have her next to me while I get ready on this special day.
Mother of the Groom
The strongest person I know, and the woman who raised two boys into two men. Thank you for all you sacrificed so Nick and I could have the opportunities we do. I hope we make you proud.
Father of the Groom
Thank you for always being there when I need a laugh or need to be reminded that everything is going to be ok. I appreciate our talks more than you know.
Best Man
Not just my brother, but my best friend for over 40 years. Through all the highs and lows, laughter and tears, you have always been by my side. I cherish our relationship, everything from our conversations, road trips, and random movie quote text messages. Could not imagine going through life without you.
Groomsman
Nothing brings me more joy than watching the both of you embrace life and strive to the best versions of yourself. I have no doubts that you will make the world a better place, and I am so proud to be your Dad. I love you more than I could ever put into words.
Groomsman
Thank you for welcoming me into your family. You are an amazing father and take great pride in your role of being big brother. I knew I belonged after a couple rides with you in the blue dragon.
Groomswoman
Over the course of time, you went from being a really good friend to becoming my little sister. Today doesn't happen without you, and for that, I will always be grateful for our bond.
Groomsman
My brother from another mother. I never know where our conversations will lead us, but I am grateful for every one of them. And no, I don't want to go to Waffle House.
Groomsman
At some point, a weekend golf partner turned into an unexpected friendship and then into a family bond. You never waivered in your advice of, "When you know, you know." Thanks for being you, Flex.
Groomsman
I should thank you every day for telling me to, "Just text her, dude." Your encouragement changed the path of my life in all the best ways. Today doesn't happen without you.
