Matron of Honor
Sister. That should be enough said, but she's brilliant, compassionate, and beautiful! We have been through it as siblings and fought like siblings, but she'll always be my BEST friend. Love you Car!
Bridesmaid
I kidnapped her friendship!
Bridesmaid
Frand - pretty sure I kidnapped her friendship, too.
Bridesmaid
We've been friends since sixth grade and our ups and downs will always lead us back to being besties.

We met fighting the good fight! I didn't have a job, she needed signs to be made. And from there it was friendship!

Groomsman
Through work, weddings, and play, Cory and John have become friends for years.
Groomsman
Cory and George became friends a few years ago. Many nights of long talks and games of ping pong, Cory asked him to stand up with him at our wedding.
Groomsman
After Cory moved in to his house, he soon became the house where his neighbors would congregate. Russell has been there, as a friend, to Cory since, that day. He helps, watches Pooch, plays ping pong, is Cory's confidant, a true friend, and we couldn't be happier to have him as a part of our special day.
Groomsman
Clay and Cory are "cousins". Through years of going in different directions, walking the same path, they will always be family and friends.

He's corralling kids, walking his youngest with our dog, supporting my sister, along for the ride, and the best brother in law we could ask for!
Officiant
Cory met John at UPS. He has helped with charities, he has met with us to ask questions and counsel. We are so thrilled he agreed to join us.
Wedding Planner
THANK YOU KATY! Without Katy, I would be freaking out over where chairs go, how many people can be where, and trying to delegate duties when I'm supposed to be walking down the aisle. She's not just a wedding coordinator, she's a friend. She have built a strong connection and I'm so happy that Cory and Katy have gotten to be such good friends as well. WE LOVE YOU KATY!
Usher
Connor is Cory's oldest son. I am so honored to have been able to go to medieval times, water parks, aquariums, and all the things we do. He just graduated at Captain Shreve, and wants to become an art teacher.

Caterer and Fairfield owner
Thank you John! You've been so patient with me! Your food is amazing. Your venue is beautiful. I couldn't thank you enough!

Lajuana is the owner of the Chocolate Pineapple. Her treats are delicious and her soul is beautiful. I'm so glad she agreed to not only be a guest at the wedding, but to make some of her delicious treats for us to enjoy.
Rehearsal Dinner
Chase Boytim has been a longtime friend and I'm so happy he's able to provide our dinner and drinks!
Mother of the Groom
Mother of the Bride
One of the strongest women I know. She has always made sure that we were taken care of and happy. She accepted Cory with open arms. And EVEN THOUGH she may not totally be in love with the costume idea at the wedding, I know that she's going to be the life of the party. I love you, mom. Thank you for all you do. And I'm still sorry about all those teenage years. You've been, and continue to be, an amazing role model, and I can only hope to have your resilience, intelligence, and humor.
Walking the Bride down the aisle
Stan was my father's best friend. I remember all the way back to when I was a little girl and he would bring Dr. Pepper and Johnny's pizza over and watch the Super Bowl with us. He was there for us when dad passed, and I can't think of anybody else I want walking in my father's stead. Thank you, Stan. You're family.
Singer
Pam sings at all of our weddings and I didn't want to have anybody else. She's my first cousin and friend. Thank you Pam! And I LOVE YOU!
Photographer
After researching the type of pictures we wanted to remember such a special day, there was no question Shannon was the one! Thank you Shannon!

A friend and coworker to Cory (he's also known me since I was 19 AND my mother!), his videos are amazing and we are so excited to have him be a part of it!
