Matron of Honor
Madison and I have been best friends since 5th grade, so as you can imagine, we've been through a lot together! We both came from big Christian families, with a LOT of younger siblings, so we easily both share a love for God and babies--which is what I love most about our friendship. Although our high school days were pretty memorable, my favorite memory with Madison was getting to be her Maid of Honor. Now, it's her turn. She has a heart of gold and has always shown me unwavering love and support. Even through battling law school (and very much succeeding), she always makes time to check up on me and my family. I cannot wait to share my wedding day with my forever friend. She will make such a beautiful Matron of Honor!
Maid of Honor
Bernadette has been the "cool aunt" ever since I was born. She's so full of life and energy, and always gets enjoyment from making people smile over her goofiness. She is very ambitious and goal-oriented, spending most of her days studying for her PA program--which has inspired me to always pursue my dreams. She has a good heart, a fun personality, and has seen and loved me through every stage of my life. I couldn't imagine spending my special day without her as my Maid of Honor. After all, she is the life of the party!
Bridesmaid
Lindsey and I shared many classes and connected our junior year of college after studying for a test together. It was the first time I had really spoken to Lindsey, but in that moment, I trusted her with all of my heart and knew immediately that she was about to be one of the most special people in my life. There is no censoring myself with Lindsey; I'm free to be me. She's beautiful, funny, and so free spirited. She inspires me in more ways than she will ever know, and I will always see her as one of my best friends. She will be the perfect bridesmaid!
Bridesmaid
Bethany and I connected my junior year of college through mutual friends. I saw this sweet, crafty girl who knew how to have fun in any situation, and I wanted to be her friend more than anything. We went from acquaintances, to best friends, to roommates, to teammates on a D2 swim team (with ZERO swimming experience lol). And every unfavorable situation that life handed us only brought us closer. She's seen me on my worst days...I can't wait for her to see my on my best day. She's going to be a perfect bridesmaid!
Bridesmaid
Emily is my littlest sister and is so very special to me. After all, she is my BIRTHDAY TWIN!! Emily was born on my eleventh birthday...what better gift than a baby sister, right? That birthday has been my favorite since. From there on out, I always felt that she and I had a special Capricorn connection lol. Emily is so sweet, has such a caring heart, and loves people. She's always a positive presence to be around...unless she's arguing with one of our sisters lol. She is going to make such a cute bridesmaid!
Bridesmaid
Josey is my first born sister. Her birth was the first most life-altering experience of my life. She was so perfect to me in every way, even when we would fight and argue, as sisters do lol. When she was little, she had so much sass, personality, and a love for fashion (and terrorizing me too). I still see that little girl in her, but now, I see that she's blossomed into this beautiful young woman who is kind, intelligent, and works hard. I am so proud of the person she has become! She's another one of my perfect bridesmaids!
Flower Girl
Angelina is my beautiful goddaughter and baby cousin. She has an exceptional heart, a sweet disposition, and such a bubbly personality! She has the most profound love for God I've ever seen in a little girl, which makes her the perfect addition to our Catholic ceremony. I can't imagine a better flower girl than her!
Mother of the Bride
We met at a West Virginia hospital, back in 1999. We just instantly connected. LOL. Anyways, my mom is the most beautiful woman I know, inside and out. She instilled in me strong morals and values and taught me to have this profound love for God and life. My primary goal in life is to instill those same values into my marriage and children, and use my Christian upbringing to teach my children that God is above all things, just as my mother taught me. It'll be such an honor to share my first dance with my mother and share my beautiful day with her!
Brother of the Bride
Bobby is my only brother, which is why he is so special to me. He is shy, introverted, talented at video games, and is one of the sweetest boys I know. If you know Cade, he's the same way, so...it kind of worked out perfectly for the two lol. Bobby will be walking me down the aisle, which I'm super excited about, because we get to experience the awkwardness of all eyes on us, together!!
Grandmother of the Bride
Nana is my mother's mother and one of the most good-hearted women I know. She loves to help, so I entrusted her to be our visionary and wedding planner over the months, so we are very eager to see how beautiful everything turns out! But, more importantly, Nana has a profound love for God, her family, and always making people feel special and loved. Throughout my life, she ALWAYS taught me that my lifelong partner should be someone who shares the same values and loves God as much as I do. I know that she is proud that I succeeded in that endeavor...
Man of Honor
Marriage is a symbol of love, and so is a child. Meet Gatlin Stone: our beautiful baby boy...our gift from God. He made our hearts bigger, and the worldIy things so much smaller. We can't wait to share our beautiful day with our favorite person in the whole world.
Groomsman
I met Joey 19 years ago. He has been a great brother to me over the years, even though I have caught him messing up my room on purpose, so that I would have to clean it up. Some of my favorite memories together would be playing video games in the afternoons all summer growing up.

I met Mark in middle school, but we got close during high school football. Mark has been a good friend over the years and we have shared some awesome memories. One of my favorites memories together would be messing around in the weight room in high school.

I met Logan in middle school. However, we really started getting closer in high school. Logan has been a great friend over the years. One of my favorite memories together is swimming in his backyard.
Father of the Groom
My dad has always been there for me along the way. He even helped me move into my apartment at 57 years old, not to mention a 2 hour drive each way and an extremely heavy couch. I hope when I am his age I will be able to do what he does. Like climbing trees in the picture. One of my favorite memories together would probably be little league baseball with him as my coach.
Mother of the Groom
My Mom has always been there for me. I know that if I ever need anything she is just one call away. She has taught me how to do many things in my life...from as small as how to do taxes, to as big as how to tackle life's challenges. Some of my favorite memories together would be family game nights or late night facetime calls about anything.
Grandfather of the Groom
Grandpa Raudebaugh has always supported me throughout my life. He was at about every sporting event that I or my brother has ever been in. I still remember seeing the yellow mustang pulling into my little league games. One of my favorite memories together would probably include playing euchre when grandma would get every trick when she wasn't on grandpas' team, but wouldn't get a single trick when on his team.
Grandmother of the Groom
Grandma Raudebaugh has always supported me over the years. She came to about every sporting event my brother or I was ever in. She is known in the family for being the first one to pull out all of the grandkid's teeth. One of my favorite memories with her would include talking to her on the plane ride to Florida for vacation.
