Bride
Groom
Maid of Honor
Lillie was born four years after the Bride, and has been a...presence...ever since. Through turbulent fights on the trampoline and days pretending the lawnmower was a car, Lillie has remained by my side. Growing up has meant moving further away from each other, but it hasn't changed the love!
Best Man
Father and life-long best friend of the Groom. He has always stood by and supported his son through many difficult circumstances. His unwavering love has been a rock that the Groom could depend on. His values and principles helped shape the man he is today.
Mother of the Groom
She has always been there when the Groom was in trouble or hurting. She has always been his first call when in need of help. Her unconditional love, kindness, and support displayed a perfect example for the type of woman her son would want to marry.
Father of the Bride
Affectionately and alternatively known as "Dee-Da." This is the man who spent his life working tirelessly to provide the Bride with anything and everything she wanted or needed. Not only is he the perfect example of Godly love, but proof that it is entirely possible to live and love selflessly. He set the bar high for this Bride to find her Groom.
Mother of the Bride
The Bride has lived her life hoping to one day be as wise, open, and loving as this special woman. She has provided advice, comfort, and help at every opportunity and moment of need. She has been a shoulder to cry on, and a funny phone call, depending on what is necessary at the time. Her laughter is the sound of every happy memory.
Bridesmaid
Though not a sister by blood, Gracie has been a presence in the Bride's life for the past 16 years as a stepsister. The Bride has had the pleasure of seeing Gracie grow into a beautiful, successful young woman, whose dedication and talent in the nursing field are something to envy. A bubbly personality and more almost more hair than head complete this one-of-a-kind sister and bridesmaid.
Bridesmaid
Charli and the Bride met each other officially in seventh grade, though they had encountered one another at 4H events several times over the years. The two young women would go on to become each other's most trusted confidants and best friends. Over the past 18 years, they have shared many road trips and made precious memories driving across the country to multiple anime conventions. If there is one thing the Bride can be sure of, it is that Charli's friendship is lifelong.
Bridesmaid
Though not from the same state (barely the same world, since she was born in New York), Sarah has proven to be another best friend for the Bride, and stood the test of time and distance. Sarah met the Bride at Hollins University, where a friendship quickly formed around similar interests, a love of sharing stories and laughter, and an honesty policy that can't be broken. Though they had to say "see you later" after their four years at Hollins ended, they have never said "goodbye."
Bridesmaid
Though they only met in July of 2019, Ashley has already proven herself to be a an amazing woman with a kind and generous heart, as well as a good friend to the Bride. As a sister-in-law, the Bride knows she can rely on Ashley for advice, commiseration, and evenings of cocktails and pizza when times are rough. Not only will the Bride gain a friend, but another sister of her own.
Bridesmaid
Soon-to-be sister in law to the Bride. Brittany is a firecracker full of energy, enthusiasm, and passion for the moment. The Bride has already learned she can rely on Brittany when things go south. Brittany is willing to open her home and her heart to whomever is in need. Not only will the Bride gain a friend from this marriage, but another sister (and two dogs and the cutest nephew ever).
