Matron of Honor
Cousins by birth, sisters by choice. Elise and Lindsay spent their childhood playing dress-up, barbies, and eventually riding horses and flinging horse sh*t at each other (in love of course). Lindsay served as Maid of Honor at Elise's wedding a few years ago and there was no question who would stand next to Lindsay on her big day.

Courtney started as an acquaintance, and eventually became a client of Lindsay's when she photographed her wedding to Matt (Schmidt) in Puerto Rico a few years ago. Since then, she's become a close friend of both Andria and Lindsay and she makes up 1/4 of BFC (Best Friend Couple). She's whitty and sweet and there was no way she wasn't going to be a part of this day.

Lindsay affectionately calls Amanda her 'Beef' which is a term that came about when Lindsay tried to sound out B-F-F. She's Lindsay's dearest friend who shares her love of all things creative. They've been friends for over 10 years and it's a running joke that Lindsay missed Amanda's wedding (true story) but there was no way this party was happening without Amanda as co-Matron of Honor.

Amy and Andria have been friends since freshman year in high school. So if you are counting, that's over 18 years! You might hear them refer to each other as "dogg" which is an affectionate term that originated because of Andria's love of oversized UNC basketball jerseys. It was early 2000..... Amy is our go-to advice giver and the biggest UNC fan we know. JK....she is a die hard Duke fan because of JJ Redick but we still love her.

Lindsay + Amy go wayyyy back. A friendship that began at The University of Toledo, Amy and Lindsay both rushed Chi Omega in the fall of 2002. Over the years they have been roommates, sorority sisters and more importantly, friends for over 10 years. Lindsay was one of Amy's bridesmaids when she married her husband so now it's Amy's time to return the favor.

Serving as the other 1/4 of BFC, Matt (Courtney's Husband) is one of the tallest men you'll ever meet, but also the nicest. He is one of our closest friends and he is Andria's go-to golf partner. You might catch yourself thinking Dustin Johnson is at our wedding but don't be fooled, it's just our awesome friend, Matt.
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Lindsay are long lost soul sisters. Both photographers, they met online in 2017 and became fast friends. They road-tripped to Canada together last year and have managed to see each other over 4 times in the past year despite living in different states. Lindsay knew she wanted Rachel to stand beside her in her wedding when she volunteered to walk her down the aisle in a black suit if needed. True friend material right there.
Bridesmaid
Another long time friend of Andria's. She completes the d-o-g-g trinity. Once upon a time Alissa and Andria collected all their coins to take to coinstar just to be able to go out for a drink. They've road-tripped to California and Florida 2x. They've lived together, stolen a keg together (don't ask!) and survived 18 years of friendship. Now that Alissa's a foot surgeon, she's Andria's go-to for issues with her feet from running and the good news is, they can both afford their own drinks now.

Paul or 'Pauly' as Lindsay likes to call him is Lindsay's youngest brother. 11 years her junior, she once convinced him that she was actually his mom. Not a great joke but it's still laughed about to this day. Even though there is quite an age difference, they've always been close. Lindsay rarely missed a football or basketball game and she loved teaching him "life lessons" usually through her mistakes. As the only immediate family member standing by her side on her wedding day, it means more than she can put into words. (p.s. ladies - he's single!)
Bridesman
Stephen is Andria's middle brother. He's got the kindest heart we know and has always offered to help whenever we have something to move. (Gotta keep those kind around!) He's always down for a good time and he's an occasional attender of BFC date nights. Andria knew she wanted to be surrounded by family at her wedding so there was no doubt that Stephen would be included. (p.s. he's single too ladies!)
Bridesman
Mitchell is Andria's youngest brother (a whooping 10 years between them!). Growing up, she always thought Mitchell was going to be an attorney because he always wanted to debate her and argued against whatever her opinion was, about anyyything. He was the first sibling to "out" us and for once he didn't argue, but instead, agreed that Lindsay was the perfect match.
Bridesmaid
Andria's youngest sister, Arielle was born when Andria was 15. (!!) She's just a baby in our eyes but don't let her age fool you. She's already studied in Germany and has worked Lollapalooza, aka girl is chasing her dreams! Andria is so proud of her youngest sibling, even though she is still jealous that she got the Barlage height gene. We're so excited to have her standing with us on this day.
Officiant
Sean and Andria have been friends for a long time. He got ordained years ago to officiate his sister's wedding and we joked then that we should have him marry us. That joke turned into reality when we decided we wanted someone who knows us well to lead the ceremony and who better than our good friend Seany?! We consider him part of our bridal party and he just also happens to be officiating the ceremony.
