Matron of Honor
I was 4 and Madison was 5. She showed up at my door with a plate of brownies the first day my family moved into our house, and we've been best friends ever since. She's someone I've looked up to over the years, and will always be my ride or die. When even she knew Aaron was the one, it was game over for me. Fun fact I was at Madison's graduation ceremony from Georgia Tech in 2018 which just so happened to also be Aaron's graduation!
Best Man
It all started moving in across the hall from each other freshman year at college. Sameer quickly became a great friend as we went through college and started our careers. He’s always had my back and makes me laugh more than anyone else out there. He’s also an inspiration with his work ethic and professionalism that has accelerated his career. Sameer is living in Atlanta completing his Masters Degree at Georgia Tech.

Bethany is my cousin and one of my best buddies. Our childhood involved ATV riding, cookie baking and countless sleepovers. She is my source of encouragement and strength, and I really feel like I lucked out with her as a cousin. Bethany always has the best things to say at the best times and is always ready to strike a pose. I can't wait for wedding karaoke and dancing!!

Charlie and I crossed paths early on in flight school and lived as roommates in Corpus Christi for over a year. An incredibly genuine person, Charlie is a Renaissance man with many interests and constantly seeks out knowledge and skills. His discipline had a great affect on me as we pushed each other studying through flight school. The only reason I met Sierra is Charlie asking a couple cute young ladies at the grocery store to come over to our house for a backyard cookout on an April afternoon. I met Sierra that day and owe the incredible path we’ve been on to this man, none of us would be coming together to celebrate if not for Charlie.
Bridesmaid
Sierra & Ally, together we make Sally. We met through Haley at a concert one night, and both told Haley afterwards "I really liked her we should hang out more." I can always count on Ally to be a source of ridiculous goofy laughter, strength, and especially faith in God. Together we also know all the words to the Greatest Showman movie. Ally was witness to the first time I ever saw Aaron dance. Later that evening I told her "I'm going to marry him one day" and here we are!

A couple of Illinois boys crossing path at Georgia Tech, my friendship with max truly came to life when he joined me and Charlie in Texas to complete the house around the center of our lives known affectionately as Crosstimbers. Max is an incredible conversationalist being equally interested and knowledgeable in topics as diverse as economic theory to musical styles, to legendary cartoons. This man can rip a face melting guitar solo, drop in on a half pipe, and will undoubtedly be a great part of the celebration. Max was there alongside Charlie the moment that Sierra and I first met!
Bridesmaid
Tay has been a ray of sunshine in my life since we met at the good ole Corpus Christi Country Club in 2018. She has been with me through the good, the tough and the best of times, and was one of the first people I absolutely gushed about Aaron too. Taylor has been my steadfast cheerleader, and I cannot imagine my wedding day without her cheering me on.
Groomsman
Sam and I became great friends immediately at Georgia Tech and have remained tight all throughout school and our initial Marine Corps training. Sam is hands down the smartest friend I have and has a diverse understanding of so many unique and interesting things. He has always inspired me to push myself harder, both physically (as I’ve been staring at his heels on runs for years) and morally (questioning why some rules exist and how to do the right thing). We share a passion for car culture and could talk for hours just about obscure station wagons built in the early 2000s.
Bridesmaid
Find a bestie who greets you with a bigger smile than Haley Doordan. She has the best heart and spirit and has been a constant source of joy over the last couple of years. Plus, she is literally always down to go to the beach with me and even beach camping sleepovers. I can’t wait to have her by my side on our wedding day.

When I heard someone playing my favorite song of all time at a cookout in the summer of 2018, I had to find out who the DJ was. Sure enough, Morgan was playing it and this moment brought us together to begin our epic friendship built on music, beer, and sailing. (Ask him about the time he saved me after I got a sailboat stuck on a channel marker). Morgan is an absolute blast to be around and will be our official representative of the City of Boston. Don’t worry, he plays nice with Chicago people as long as you don’t bring up hockey.
Bridesmaid
Allison Royer will be my SISTER and I am so darn excited. She has the absolute kindest heart and is so much fun, and has been so supportive of Aaron and I from day one. It's been so amazing to see her relationship with Aaron and I just feel so lucky to be welcomed by her into the family. Also, Allison taught me how to play multi-player solitaire, and my life is forever changed.

I shouldn’t be surprised that the coolest girl in the world has a couple of really cool brothers too. Zack is so fun to be around and cracking jokes with him is so fun and natural. We share a lot of interests in music and activities and I feel so fortunate to have so many more fun times ahead. Hands down one of the most creative people I’ve ever met. I may never end up being as tall as him, but one day I aspire to have hair as majestic as him.
Bridesmaid
Carly also came into my life by way of the CC Country Club and we just clicked. Carly radiates positivity and giggles and fills my life with happiness, support, and encouragement. She is always a loving friend an accepting of all my flaws and encouraged my memorization of the choreography of Queen's performance at Live Aid after we watched the movie a million times. I cannot imagine our wedding day without Carly's love and smiles.
Groomsman
Jordan is the older brother I always wanted growing up! Every time I talk to Jordan I feel like I learn something new about the world or discover another talent of his. An incredibly smart, hard working, and humble man that is always learning new things, Jordan is a great conversationalist who I’m really excited to have as a part of the celebration. I already talked about how jealous I am of one of the Kudlicki bro’s long flowing hair, and this one is no exception to that either. Seriously, one day I’ll grow it out with you guys.
