Maddison & Joseph
Wedding Party
Sarah
Maid of Honor
Sarah and Maddison first met in 8th grade. They decided to attend the school's talent show together and have been best friends since. (9 years and counting!) When they were kids they would listen to David Bowie and watch funny YouTube videos together. Sarah ended up moving out of state to Pittsburgh; however, the two remain close to this day! Maddison is grateful to have Sarah stand by her side as the maid of honor.
Ashley
Bridesmaid
Ashley is not only a bridesmaid, but a sister to the bride. Maddison remembers Ashley babysitting her when she was a kid. Ashley would take Maddison and her two younger brothers to the park to play. She used to tickle Maddison and chase her around the park playing tag for fun. Now, they prefer watching true crime documentaries or home renovation shows instead. Ashley's son, Elliott will be a sign-holder in the wedding.
Jennifer
Bridesmaid
Jennifer is Maddison's eldest sibling, and has been a role model to the bride since she was a child. She is still one of Maddison's role models to this day! After Jen moved out of state, Maddison and Jen would send each other letters to check in on one another. Maddison still has some of those letters, and holds them close to her heart. Jennifer's boys, Riordan and Lachlan, will be ring bearers on the wedding day.
Meghan
Bridesmaid
Meghan or "Megs," as the bride likes to call her, is the groom's first cousin. Maddison always knew Meghan would not only be an amazing in-law, but an even better friend. The groom has always had a soft spot in his heart for his baby cousin, and the bride could understand why the moment they met. Maddison always says Meghan is her 'Joanna Gains' as a joke; however, it's true. She is a person you strive to keep up with!
Darci
Bridesmaid
Darci is the groom's cousin. Joseph has always looked up to Darci during their childhood, and still does to this day. Maddison now looks up to Darci, as well. She is one of the most hardworking and strong-willed people Maddison knows and adores. Not only is she a force to be reckoned with, Darci is also a gentle and kind person. Some of Maddison's favorite memories they share are when they are on Facetime together. Maddison and Darci will video chat each other randomly throughout the week to check up, vent, or show off the new stuff they bought at TJ Maxx. They have bonded over their similarities and are excited to "officially" be related.
Rayna
Bridesmaid
Rayna and Maddison met at work over 3 years ago. Their friendship grew when they transferred to a new department at the same time. They bonded over their shared love for coffee and Panera. Maddison values Rayna not only for her great taste in coffee, but for being one of the most kind and caring people she knows. Maddison is excited to have Rayna by her side throughout the wedding!
Ashley
Bridesmaid
Ashley is married to the best man, Matthew. They share a daughter together, Jordanne, who will be the flower girl in the wedding. Maddison can always go to Ashley when she needs a person to talk, share a coffee, or relax with. Ashley has always accepted Maddison with open-arms into the family and made her feel welcome. One of Maddison's favorite memories with Ashley is when she first met her at a party and was drinking chocolate milk out of a glittery wine glass. Maddison knew in this moment that they would get along well.
Amanda
Bridesmaid
Amanda is married to the groom's brother, Chris. Maddison knew from the moment she met Amanda that they would become more than just in-laws. Amanda and Maddison share their love for Starbucks, scary movies, and vinyl records. They both also love to travel and experience as much as they can. Amanda is always down to go on a spontaneous trip with Maddison! Amanda's two children, Gavin and Jenna, will be in the wedding as junior bridesmaid and a sign-holder.
Jenna
Junior Bridesmaid
Jenna is the one and only junior bridesmaid in the wedding. This special position could only be held by a very special person. Jenna is athletic, smart, beautiful, and sassy. She is the type of person to perfect every hobby or craft she picks up, quickly! Her parents, Christopher and Amanda, are also in the bridal party. Jenna is a role model to her younger brother, Gavin, who will also be in the wedding. Maddison has considered Jenna a niece for years; however, is excited to officially share the same last name as her.
Matthew
Best Man
Matt is the groom's older brother. Matt and Joey have always had a close bond. They are both passionate about sports, family, and an ice cold beverage. Joey values his relationship with Matt, and couldn't have made it to where he is today without him. He will always cherish and respect his older brother. Matt's daughter, Jordanne, will be the flower girl in the wedding.
Jimmy
Groomsman
Jimmy is also an older brother of Joey. Joey admires Jimmy for many things. One of Jimmy's best qualities, in Joey's eyes, is the way he cares for and loves his family. Jimmy would give anything for his family, especially his nieces and nephews. When the two aren't spending time with family, they love staying up late and playing Warzone together. They have been playing video games with each other for over 20 years now. Joey is grateful to have a brother like Jimmy and can't wait to have him by his side on the wedding day!
Christopher
Groomsman
Chris is Joey's eldest brother. Joey has looked up to his brother since he was a child, and still does to this day. He admires what a hard worker and good father Chris is. Not only is Chris a good father, but he knows everything there is to know about sports. Joey envies Chris's talents as a writer, broadcaster, and business owner. Some of Joey's most cherished memories are with his brother Chris. Those memories include playing tecmo in Madison, broadcasting live sporting events, playing wiffleball together in their childhood backyard, and much more. Joey holds those memories close to his heart. It means the world to Joey that his brother will be standing by his side as they make another memory.
Mason
Groomsman
Mason is another sibling of the bride. Joey and Mason first became friends as they worked together, previously. Mason was more reserved and stuck to his job; while Joey was more rambunctious. He was always dancing and singing while working. I suppose opposites attract! Over the years, Mason has grown out of his shell and is the life of the party! The more they got to know each other, the more Mason and Joey consider each other brothers rather than friends.
Wesley
Groomsman
Wes is Maddison's youngest sibling. Joey immediately became close with Wes as they share a lot of the same interests such as cooking, sports, and watching the same TV shows. Joey was excited to act as the older brother for once, as he is the youngest sibling in his family. One of Joey's favorite memories with Wes is when they attended the Lakers game in Indianapolis together.
Alex
Groomsman
Joey was first introduced to Alex through his cousin, Meghan. Meghan and Alex have since married and he is officially part of the family. However, Joey knew that Alex was family long before the marriage. The two share a passion for gaming, streaming, and spooky stories. Joey looks up to Alex in many ways, and aspires to accomplish what Alex has in streaming one day. Goals aside, Joey knows that Alex is always a great person to go to when it's time to kick back and have fun. The two of them could game for hours!
Casey
Groomsman
Joey and Casey originally met through his older brother, Matt. Some of Joey's favorite memories with Casey involve their shared love for wrestling. Casey and Joey used to get up really early just to get autographs from their favorite wrestlers and divas at the airport. Although they have shared some fun adventures together, Joey cherishes the simple times they share hanging out and watching matches together more than anything.
John
Groomsman
John and Joey first met through Darci, the groom's cousin, about 3 years ago. They have since become close friends and enjoy spending time together. In their free time they like to watch movies, try new restaurants, and play video games together. One of their favorite games to play is Mortal Kombat. Joey values John because he is a down to earth and kind person. If you ever need a person to sit back and relax with, John is your guy. Joey admires John for being so outgoing. John knows no stranger and can make conversation with anyone!
Caitlin
Groomswoman
Caitlin is one of the groom's longest friendships to date. They first met back when they attended catholic school together. They immediately became very close, and remain best friends to this day!
