Officiant
My dad and I have had a relationship that has grown and shifted over time. Like many parents and daughters, we’ve had our challenges, but I’ve watched him make efforts to take accountability and show up differently over these last few years. Having him officiate our wedding feels meaningful in a way that honors both where we’ve been and where we are now. While my sisters walk me down the aisle, he will be the one to officially send me into this next chapter.
Flower Girl
Zaeya made us a family long before this wedding. Loving her and being her parent has deepened everything about our connection and has solidified our relationship for life. She brings us so much joy, patience, and laughter every single day. She teaches us things we would never know about ourselves without her. Having her sprinkle flowers on the path to this next journey feels like the best way to start it off.
Maid of Honor
Kerri has been there to be a pillar of strength, laughter, and loyalty through every chapter and challenge of my life since 2012. I can’t imagine who I would be without her love and support along the way.
Maid of Honor
Rebecca and I go way back to childhood Bible study, and reconnecting in 2021 felt like I was reconnecting with home in a way. She’s become one of my closest confidantes, and her spunky and genuine vibe brightens up the room every single time.
Bridesmaid
Desta Star has been a part of every milestone since I became a mother. I think anyone reading this can understand how quickly someone can become one of the most important people in your life when you see how much they love and genuinely care for you and your child.
Bridesmaid
In nearly 10 years of friendship Ashlyn has always been someone to consistently encourage, support, and even inspire my artistic path. She believed in me from the second we met and has always been someone to help navigate all of the obstacles life has in store for us.
Best Man
Tanner has been my best friend since we were 12, and we’ve shared a lifetime of memories, he’s been more like a brother than a friend. I couldn’t imagine this day without him
Groomsman
Dustin and I have had some of the best snowboarding memories together, and from gym to Vegas to baby showers, he has been down to have a great time no matter what. I am happy this is something else we get to add to the books.
Groomsman
Quinn has been one of my best friends since becoming a dad, and our families have shared a lot of great memories. Whether it’s the kids hanging out or us heading off on an adventure, he’s always up for it. I’m honored to have him standing with me.
Groomsman
Daren has been there through the ups and downs and is someone I’ve always respected. Whether we’re fishing or just catching up, he’s easy to talk to and solid to have around
Sister of the Bride
Morgan and Courtney are my two older sisters. Both women have helped shape me into who I am today. They have always been my biggest role models and have always unconditionally loved me through all of the times I was learning accountability, responsibility, and maturity throughout some of life’s most humbling experiences. It will be the last day us 3 sisters share a last name, and to represent our sisterhood I have asked them to walk me down the aisle and give me away to this new life of mine.
Sister of the Bride
Abigail Lynn Bowers. My only little sister. Born nine days after my 9th birthday. Being so close in age with my older sisters, Abi sort of became “our” baby. Teaching all three of us early lessons about responsibility, unconditional love for a child, maturity, and our maternal instincts. Some of the best parts of our childhood revolve around Abi. We used to hold Abi’s hand and help her walk down the hallway, and now it’s Abi’s turn to hold my daughter’s hand and help her walk down the aisle.
