Kaela & Cody
Wedding Party
Joelle Miles
Maid of Honor
Joelle, I'll admit, for a bit there I wasn't sure who would be my Maid of Honor. I always thought it would be a friend of mine. But the difference between friendships and being siblings is being your sister is forever. And that's when it hit me you are one of those constants in my life that I can always rely on to answer. Whether you're mad at me or happy you will always answer. From chasing me with dinosaurs and stabbing me with sticks (my forever scar) to laughing with me about random memes on TikTok to swooning over Farmer George or you listening to me rant about how they changed the movie/Tv show compared to the book. As you would say there are absolutely no words to describe you and I love you for that (period). You are going to be an amazing Marine Biologist with how kind and compassionate you are. There is no one I would rather be my Maid of Honor I'm just sorry it took me so long to realize that. I love you <3
Joe Delaney
Best Man
Joe is my oldest and best friend. When Kaela and I first started dating, I asked Joe to be my Best Man and without hesitation, he said yes. That was a long time ago but I wasn't joking about the position in my wedding! Knowing you has been the best experience of my life. I cant thank you enough for being the most kind, supportive, and understanding person anyone can ask for. I don't think there is anyone else I could pick for this honor. Joe, you deserve the world and I thank you for including me in yours for all these years.
Aaliyah Miles
Bridesmaid
Aaliyah, You are my last sister, last sibling, and the last pain in my butt (lol). In all seriousness, you are the sibling that I watched grow up. Unlike Joelle or Jeremiah, I remember the morning after you were born. I remember holding you and changing your diapers and sharing my room where you would cry at random times. But now I get to see you at this different time in life. You are going to be a freshman in high school. Like what. You prove to me every day that not even I am "hip" anymore. The amount of slang y'all use today is actually crazy, and I struggle to keep up with you. But in all seriousness, you as my baby sister, are the perfect example of what it is like to live. Obviously I have experienced it myself, but seeing you going out and having fun with friends every week and weekend makes me so happy (even if I'm the one having to pick you up all the time). I have had the pleasure of watching you grow up and I can't wait to see what else God has in store for you. I love you sissy AKA Gremlin
Joey Carr
Groomsman
Joey, Our resident dinosaur digger in the flesh, Joey and I first met at the Collegeville Bakery, where he trained me in my first job. Over the years he has become one of the people I can go to when I need to talk. He makes everyone around him smile, and you can bet he is rooting for his Phillies!
Ilaria Merone
Bridesmaid
Ilaria, "I LOVE YOU MY ITALIAN QUEEN!!" No other words needed. But in all seriousness, I am so happy for you to be in my life. Even though we technically have known each other since high school, I feel like our senior year of college really brought us together, and boy am I happy that it did. You are one of those people that I know I can go to talk to and I won't be judged without hesitation or questions. Knowing you and going on our little girlfriend dates have been a dream. I'm always in awe of your love for your family, your home country, your friends, and your passions. AKA Bridgerton and ACOTAR, which is SO valid. You are my little bookworm buddy who I can geek with about how beautiful the styling of the writing was or how God awful Colleen Hoover is. I hope to continue to grow our friendship over the years and call you my Italian Queen (cause you are).
Jeremiah Miles
Groomsman
Jeremiah, Your sister is writing this. You have always been my buddy. It has always been Joelle and Aaliyah, and then you and me. I remember being a kid and trying my hardest to be a tomboy for you since you didn't have another brother. I actually remember how upset you and I were when we found out Aaliyah was another girl. And even though the girls in your family always mess with you, just know we love you. Cody has said many times that you are like a brother for him, so thank you for that. You and him had very similar situations being the only brother in the family. We know lately you have been going through a lot. But just know we will always love you even if you make questionable decisions (lol). I'm still calling Thanksgiving at my house though ;) sorry
Luisa Chaquea
Bridesmaid
Luisa, You are the ultimate lab partner and friend. From hysterically crying because of orgo (iykyk) to cackling over stupid University gossip. I love the days that I was able to go across the hall and lay on the floor talking. Or when we would text each other at random times at night about homework just to find that we both were in fact awake because women in STEM. I hope you never lose the golden light that just radiates off of you when you walk into the room. You command those who are in your presence but in the kindest way imaginable. Not to mention you're my other Bridgerton buddy, especially Queen Charlotte. You are an amazing human being, and I just know you are going to be the best Dentist (sorry JC).
Gavin Painter
Groomsman
Gavin is the dependable, hard working type of friend. When I say hard working, I mean ferociously ambitious to where he has 2 jobs PLUS a car detailing business in his spare time. But all that work doesn't mean he neglects his friends. He knows what you need, when you need it and how to make you feel loved and accepted. I fully appreciate all the things that Gavin does and how he still finds the time to support and back up his friends. Gavin, I am grateful for our friendship and I can not wait to celebrate this new chapter in my life with you!
