Maid of Honor
It is mine and Brooke's strong belief that God made us cousins because he knew that no mother could ever handle us as sisters. Growing up together, we have shared countless laughs, tears, heartaches and prayers. Brooke has seen me through my best and my worst, and continues to stand by my side. She is my go to person and I can not begin to count the funny and often wacky adventures and shenanigans we have shared. She knows my deepest secrets and has been dubbed the only person I can ever refer to as my sunshine (Josh is reminded of that fact quite often). There was never a question as to who my Maid of Honor would be and she was even in on the planning long before the official proposal happened. I am so honored to have my best friend stand beside me as I marry the man of my dreams.
Best Man
Brother of the groom, Tanner is proof that little brothers are good for more than stealing socks. He has provided a constant companionship to his brother and is the co-author of countless childhood memories. The combination of his persistent focus and grit (absent in many his age) with his sense of humor and mirth (common in those his age) is a reminder to his family that building a lifelong relationship - like building a knife - demands brute effort, meticulous attention to detail and the ability to laugh freely. Tanner was born with a brother, but he is proud to find a sister.
Bridesmaid
God has truly blessed me with my friendship with Amanda. After meeting through our college ministry a few years ago and going on only a few retreats and trips through Chi Alpha together, I was surprised at how close we have truly become. Amanda has been there for me through some of my hardest moments in the short time I've known her and has quickly become my own personal prayer warrior. There have been many tearful nights that she has prayed with me over various storms that were happening in my life. She is someone who I love to share my love of Jesus with and someone who is an inspiration in my walk with him. I am so happy that I get to spend my big day with her standing by my side.
Groomsman
Although I haven't known David long I have come to respect him, not only as a friend, but as a fellow man of God. I and Kaity have both had the opportunity to learn and grow with him in the Lord from various heart to heart conversations that lead us closer to our dear Lord and Savior. He has kept us laughing over his crazy jokes and his competitiveness at game nights, and has been my saving grace as Kaity and Amanda get lost in their own worlds anytime they get together. I am so blessed to have this awesome guy by my side and can't wait for our many more adventures.
