Maid of Honor
Kayla and I go all the way back to freshman year at SUNY Oswego (2010!), and by sophomore year we were roommates and stayed glued together through senior year. She’s been my partner-in-crime ever since. Even though she lives on Long Island and we only get to see each other a few times a year, whenever we’re together it feels like no time has passed. We’re usually laughing at something ridiculous, being goofy, shopping, or just enjoying each other’s company. She’s truly one of my favorite humans, and I can’t wait to have her standing by my side on this big day!
Matron of Honor
Brandi and I first met at work (CHJC) back in 2017, but in the last few years we’ve become inseparable. We talk on the phone daily, usually about life, our families, or where we’re going to eat next. We love shopping, grabbing food together, and just hanging out with our boys together. Brandi has been such a constant support in my life, always there whenever I need her, and I’m so lucky to have her by my side as my matron of honor.
Bridesmaid
Rachel and I met back in 2016 at CHJC while working direct care together, and we bonded quickly over the wild (and sometimes hilarious) challenges of working with at-risk youth who kept us on our toes. She’s my go-to whenever I need someone to ground me or reassure me that I’m not actually losing it. Rachel has the biggest heart and cares so deeply about everyone around her. Even though we haven’t lived in the same area for years, sometimes not even the same state! She’s still one of my closest friends and one of the most caring people I know.
Bridesmaid
Taylor is my cousin, so I’ve known her for her whole life (and most of mine too!). She’s been there through every single phase of life with me. She’s my person I can just totally chill with. We don’t need to be doing anything fancy, and it’s still the best time. We love crafting together, shopping, and binging the same reality TV shows. Taylor was one of my very first best friends, and I’m so happy she’ll be standing beside me on this day!
Bridesmaid
Chelsey is my sister, which means I’ve literally known her my entire life. Like any sisters, we’ve had our share of bickering (what sisters haven’t), but through it all we’ve always been there for each other no matter what. She was my very first best friend! We’ve been through every phase together, from playing Barbies and Polly Pockets, to gossiping about boys and clothes, to now navigating motherhood side by side. Chelsey has been my built-in best friend from the start, and I’m so lucky to have her standing with me on this day.
Bridesmaid
Marissa is my little sister, and even though I’m 12 years older, we still grew up really close. When she was younger, she was my little sidekick—always tagging along with me and my friends. I can be my full, silly self with her, and she never fails to make me laugh while also supporting me through everything. She’s a total ray of sunshine with the kindest heart, and I’m so grateful to have her as my baby sister and bridesmaid.
Bridesmaid
Skye is my sister-in-law, and over the years we’ve grown so close. We’ve had summers where we were together almost every single day, and some of my favorite memories are the road trips and little adventures we’ve taken together. Whether we’re just hanging out or taking our kids on a new adventure, Skye is always there to support me and is always up for fun. I’m so lucky to have her in my life and by my side on this special day.
Best Man
Anthony is Dylan’s older cousin and longtime friend. Over the years they’ve even worked a few jobs together, and while distance keeps them from hanging out as often these days, Anthony has always remained an important person in Dylan’s life. Their bond runs deep, and Dylan is so glad to have him standing by his side as Best Man.
Groomsman
Quinn and Dylan first met while working at Kraft and quickly became friends. Even though they no longer work together, they’ve stayed close over the years. They share a similar taste in music and enjoy getting together once in a while to go shopping or grab some food. Dylan is excited to have Quinn as part of his wedding party.
Groomsman
Alan is Dylan’s younger (but much taller!) cousin. The two grew up next door to each other and even lived together at one point. While they weren’t super close as kids because of the age gap, they’ve grown much closer in recent years. Alan is always there to help Dylan out whenever he needs it, and Dylan is glad to have him standing with him on his wedding day.
Groomsman
Steven is Dylan’s stepdad, but more importantly, he’s been a true father figure in Dylan’s life. Since Dylan didn’t have a relationship with his biological father, Steven stepped in and has always been there to guide, support, and help him in any way he could. Dylan is grateful for everything Steven has done for him and is honored to have him as part of his wedding party.
Groomsman
Kelly is Kylie’s stepdad and has always been a steady source of support for both Kylie and now Dylan, too. He’s been another father figure in Kylie’s life, and over time he and Dylan have built a strong bond of their own. Even though they work at the same place but on different shifts, they enjoy talking and watching TV together whenever they can. Kelly is always willing to lend a hand and be there for them, and Dylan is honored to have him in the wedding party.
Groomsman
Brandon is Kylie’s brother, which means he and Kylie definitely had their fair share of sibling battles growing up. But as adults, their relationship has grown into one Kylie truly values. Brandon is always there to help Kylie and Dylan whenever needed, and he and Dylan also enjoy kicking back and having a beer together. Dylan is happy to have him as part of the wedding party.
Groomsman
Connor is Kylie’s younger brother 15 years younger, to be exact! Even with the big age gap, Kylie has always valued their relationship. Though life keeps him busy these days, Connor is always willing to step up, help out, and be there for Kylie and Dylan whenever they need him. Dylan is grateful to have him standing by his side as part of the wedding party.
