Best Man
Calvin has been the most consistent presence in my life outside of family, and his loyalty and reliability have set the standard for what true friendship means to me. Through every stage of life, he has been steady, dependable, and unwavering in his support. The trust and respect we share are the foundation of a friendship that has shaped who I am. It is only fitting that he stands beside me as my best man.
Maid of Honor
Ashley and I met through Greer, another one of my bridesmaids, who introduced us freshman year of high school, and we quickly became inseparable, spending breaks at school together and basically every spring and summer break too. I swear she lived with me part of high school. Our friendship has always been a true sister-like bond, filled with countless everyday moments that made growing up together so special. Ashley is Type A like me, always organized and on top of things, so you can count on her to keep this wedding together while still having the best time.
Groomsman
I have always looked up to Hunter, who showed me what was possible and pushed me to strive for more simply by the example he set. Our connection has always been rooted in football, and to this day he remains one of the few people I can truly talk about the game with. His influence has motivated me to pursue greatness. His presence in my life has been a constant source of inspiration.
Bridesmaid
I met Katie on my second day in Idaho through her husband, who was the head strength coach there, and she immediately put me through a workout that left me unable to walk right for two weeks. From that day on we clicked, sharing the same witty, dry, and dramatic sense of humor, and she quickly became like a big sister to me. I can’t even pick a favorite memory because she’s just always been there, constantly hyping me up and making life more fun. Katie has the kind of energy that makes everyone feel supported, and at the wedding you can expect her to be both the ultimate hype woman and the one making sure everyone has it together.
Bridesmaid
Greer is quite literally my oldest friend. We met as babies when our moms went to the same mother and daughter play group and later reconnected in elementary school. She was a gymnast, and I loved going to her meets and cheering her on, which eventually led me to become a gymnast too. I now work in the gymnastics industry and truly give her credit for sparking that passion. From babies to elementary school to middle school to high school, Greer has been with me through it all, and now she is my oldest friend turned forever bridesmaid.
