Mother of the Bride
My mom has been a huge rock in my life, supporting me and holding steady when everything else seemed crazy. I know it's hard to believe how fast time has flown since I was a little girl, but I'm so grateful she's here to see me get married!
Parents of the Groom
We are so grateful for the constant love and support from John's parents! They raised an amazing young man who is very excited to have them join at his side on our big day.

Joslyne is my theater big, my sorority sister, and one of my closest friends from college. We've grown closer since graduation and she's my honorary Pittsburgh ambassador, showing me the ropes! So excited to have her next to me.
Bridesmaid
Hannah is one of my best friends from college! We are sorority sisters and theatre geeks who grew especially close our senior year.

Bridesmaid
My little for life! Margo is one of my littles from my sorority. She is one of my closest friends from college and we managed to get into our fair share of shenanigans together, from way too many Chipotle runs to endless nights crafting. I'm so grateful we've been able to stay more connected now that we're in Pittsburgh, and that she will be with me on the big day!

Bridesmaid
We roomed together the summer between my freshman and sophomore year of college. We've been close ever since. Alyssa is my theatre grand-big and someone I've had many fun times with. She's always prepared for any adventure, and has been by my side for so many of life's ups and downs! I can't wait to share my big day with her as well.
