Bride
Oh look, It’s me. *smile* Future Mrs. Jones-Palumbo at your service.
Maid of Honor
Best friend since high school. The sour to my sweet. Basically my other half until Mike showed up— even though they’re basically the same person.
Bridesmaid
My kindred spirit. My nerdy confidante. Thank heaven for Ashley introducing us. Instant bond that’s only grown through the years.
Bridesmaid
My favorite Golden Girl. The reason we’re even here today. Mike’s friend from high school. My confidante through Golden Apple. My twin heart in passion for education. Thankful doesn’t even describe it.
Bridesmaid
My goofy galloping girl. The first woman I’ve met whose laugh rivals my own. My safe space. Couldn’t stand today without you by my side. You basically have a key to our home! Love you like lasagna.
Groom
Mike here. I’m not at service to anyone but myself and you know it. But I love making her happy. So let’s do this.
Best Man
My big brother who correctly advised me not to get dreadlocks as a teenager when I was considering it. We started to actually get along when I was like 18.
Groomsman
One of two groomsmen I’ve known since the age of 6. Our friendship was built on years of riding around on our bikes looking for girls and/or trouble.
Groomsman
Another friendship that’s spanned more than two decades. He was the trailblazer in my friend group as he was the first to get married— providing me with a top-notch blueprint on what it’s like to be a great husband.
Groomsman
This guy. We met on the first day of high school when he interrupted my conversation with future bridesmaid, Jahmila. One season of freshmen basketball later and I had my own room in his basement.
Groomsman
Another great husband I’ll probably have questions for and another friendship lasting since high school. I didn’t have a room in his basement, but I did have a favorite couch.
