Laura Jean & Francis R.
Wedding Party
Jessica Null
Maid of Honor
Jessica is my younger sister, my Maid of Honor, and—though I didn’t always admit it—one of the coolest people I know. We weren’t always inseparable, but somewhere around college, I realized she was actually pretty amazing (and not just the annoying little sister I thought she was). She's feisty, hilarious, a total bookworm, and our family's unofficial queen of sarcasm. We joke that we're co-dependent, and honestly… it's not really a joke. I couldn't imagine anyone else standing by my side—she’s been my ride-or-die ever since I figured out she was more than just the kid who stole my style.
Julia Flanagan
Maid of Honor
Julia, my Maid of Honor, has been my best friend since preschool—over 26 years of laughter, loyalty, and the kind of friendship most people only dream of. She's the one who taught me how to see the world—and people—with more hope, more heart, and a lot more humor. Julia is truly hilarious, the kind of hilarious that gets you in trouble for laughing too hard in class (yes, the hyena laugh is real). She’s been more than a friend—she’s a sister whose family became my second home. I’m endlessly thankful for her and for the joy of growing up side by side. I wouldn’t be who I am without her, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her standing beside me.
Lilly Sickler
Best Woman
Lilly is one of the most genuine people and honestly the best sister ever. Despite our height difference, she is my big sister and I’ve always admired her at a young age. The way she carries herself and her professionalism is something I have tried to emulate myself. We always have been protective of each other and that helped our bond grow to where it is today. The choice was simple to have her stand by my side at my wedding because I know we will always be there for each other and that I can rely on her when it matters most.
