Maid of Honor
My dearest cousin and lifelong friend will be my maid of honor and mistress of ceremonies on this wonderful day! She is also the go to person for final questions and answers that cannot be answered by my second in command, Olivia Ludwick. I trust her with my life and know she can handle anything that life throws her way, even helping keeping the wedding together. She has always been full of life and spirit and has the best attitude about life. I am inspired by her every day and am reminded to be humble and kind and recognize life's blessings.
Bridesmaid
Kelly is a wonderful, beautiful nurse friend of mine who has an adventurous soul and a warm heart. I am so happy to have her stand with me on this day! She is always able to lighten to mood and put a smile on anyone's face with her witty sense of humor and caring heart.
Bridesmaid
My very oldest school friend that was there with me through all of the early journeys in life and whom I am so happy can return to Michigan to celebrate this big day with me! She is one of the strongest and fearless women I know and no matter how much time flies by I love that we can reconnect like we just saw each other yesterday.
Bridesmaid
A true bad a** when it comes down to working hard and staying fit for ROTC but at the same time one of the classiest women I know. I am so happy to have my hardcore elegant friend be there with me on my big day!
Mother of the Groom
My soon to be mother in law! She is spunky, fun and kind and I am so lucky to be an addition to her wonderful family! Even after four years I can't recall seeing her without a smile on her face or making the most out of every day. She see's the best in people and a true optimist.
Bride
Groom
My handsomest, kindest, smartest, most wonderful-est fiance! Whom I am so thrilled to spend the rest of my life with :)! He is truly the best person I know, he is virtuous, honest and has a wonderful personality. I am so lucky to have found him and be able to enjoy every day with <3
Mother of the Bride
One of the biggest inspirations of my life and one of the people that has never left my side, no matter how awful I was (my teenage self). She was the main person I felt most comfortable talking to, even if she didn't like what I had to say, she is always supportive and offers advice when she can. I am so, so happy to have her here with me and to be there on my special day. She has taught me to always show kindness to others and just be happy, no matter what she is just always happy. Focusing at the best things in life and cherishing what counts.
Father of the Bride
My dad has always been my protector and a great foundation in life. He has always given me the support I need and the guidance to never settle or think that I am not good enough for something. I think one of the main reasons I have never taken no for an answer, and have been successful thus far in life, is because he has always made me believe that I can do anything in the world and that I can always work on bettering myself. No victory, no matter how little, is ever insignificant. He is the first man that I've ever loved, and even though he will be giving me away on my wedding, I will always be his little girl <3.
Father of the Groom
Leah: I am very excited to have Todd as my father in law! He is a wonderful person who is kind and has great morals and values, and thankfully passed them down to Brandon :). Also he is an avid fisherman!
Master of Ceremonies
Leah: Charlie has always been an amazing brother and friend and I am so happy to have him be a part of this special day! He does a great job at having my back throughout life and is still one of my favorite people :). With his humble charm and great personality he will be helping me run the wedding and helping answer any questions that guests have.
Bridesmaid
Leah: One of my oldest friends since the joining of our parents, she is an amazing hard working mom of two beautiful nephews and knows how to work hard at having fun too! I can't wait to have her up there with me and party until the sun comes up after :)!
Best Man
Brandon: Brother of the groom. We've been through it all, and I couldn't think of anyone else to possibly be my best man. A hard worker, determined, focused, and ready to party with us up north this summer.
Groomsman
Brandon: Cody and I have recently become great friends while we studied Meteorology at Central Michigan University. We've been through the ringer these past four years, and we've managed to make the best of it over that time.
Groomsman
Brandon: John and I also met during our four years at Central Michigan University. Many long nights studying for exams (and partying afterwards) has helped us become great friends over the years.
Honor Attendant
Leah: Denise has been a big part of my life since I can remember and has always been a good supporter in my life :). I am so happy to have her there and spend this amazing day with us!
