Maid of Honor
My soul sister. They say if a friendship lasts over seven years, it will last a lifetime. I hope that is true, because Julia and I are currently working on year eight. Through every up and down in my life, Julia has been there. Her unwavering support, loyalty, and love have been unmatched. I can't imagine getting married without her being my maid of honor!
Best Man
A friend of chance. We were working opposite shifts and decided to take a gamble one night. We ended up cooking up some mean deer steaks and had a great time. What is most certainly a lasting friendship, with his brains and my ludicrous ideas, we put them together to make unforgettable memories. We have a mutual love of plans coming together that typically include guns and/or explosions. I am glad to have him as my best man.
Bridesmaid
My sister. Lindsey has been there for me through some of the worst days in my life. I know she will always be there for me no matter what the situation entails. She is strong and independent. My wedding day would not be complete if she wasn't standing by my side.
Groomsman
We met through the fire department in a juniors program; it took a while for a friendship to be made. He can be shy at first but once he is comfortable he is quite funny. I know I can always count on him no matter what. He always goes above and beyond even if it isn't deserved. He is committed full fledged in everything he does and always gets the job done right. I am glad he will be part of our wedding.
Bridesmaid
I would not have made it through my senior year of college without Ansley! Ans is one of a kind. She is the true definition of a friend. She picks me up when I am discouraged and always makes me realize my worth. She is better than the FBI when it comes to finding out info, which comes in handy. I am so excited she will be standing beside me on the big day.
Groomsman
Our friendship goes way back to the "good old days." I have known Heath the longest. From competing in martial arts and blacksmithing to working on the farm in high school. We could take one look at each other and knew exactly what the other was thinking. Heath has a great character, integrity, and always gets the job done. I know he will always be there to lend a helping hand if needed. Having such a long-time friend be a part of my wedding is pretty cool.
Bridesmaid
Al is always making me laugh no matter what else is going on. We can go months without talking at all, yet we always pick up exactly where we left off.I can always count on her to belt out in random songs with me! I love having a friend that is so brave and adventurous. I'm so excited she will be a part of my wedding day!
Groomsman
PJ and I met in junior high. We bonded over our enjoyment for running, or it could be known as torturing ourselves, depending on the day. A surprising fit given my antisocial behavior and his outgoing personality. Although some would call it an intimidating or ill tempered just by facial expression. He has always been good at fixing issues, making funny crack jokes, and on the whim statements. I am glad he is going to be a part of our day.
Bridesmaid
Kayla is one of the smartest people I know. She has always been an amazing friend. Kayla is there when I need her and somehow always knows the right thing to say that makes me feel better in an instant. She is so caring and genuine. High school would not have been the same without her! I am so glad she is a part of my wedding!
Groomsman
Jesse is the friend you never knew you needed until you have one like him. He is funny, smart, and charismatic. A genius with many talents, including the ability to solve crazy math problems in his head while the rest of us are still writing. Jesse is always one to lift you up, check in on you, and he gives great bear hugs. His caring personality leaves you very trusting of him. You're even grateful when he invites you over to play video games, knowing that you suck at them and he is really good at them, only to find out later that he is using you so he can round up. It was all in good fun though. Jesse is the kind of friend I couldn't imagine not having in my wedding.
Jr. Bridesmaid
My bonus niece. When I moved in with Jayden's family, I gained an extra niece. Maddie is growing up to be an awesome young girl. She is super headstrong and independent. It has been so much fun having her go to the barrel races with me when Jayden is at work. I am so glad she is a part of our day!
Jr. Groomsman
James is a character. You literally never know what is going to come out of his mouth, but you can bet it will either be hilarious or completely random. Either way, he will leave you laughing! James loves video games, baseball, and his dog Softy. I am so glad he gets to be a part of our day!
Jr. Bridesmaid
My sweet niece! It is unbelievable how much she has grown over the years. Alex is smart and so sweet. I can't wait to see where the future takes her. It will be one of the most amazing things that I get to have my niece as a Jr. Bridesmaid.
Jr. Groomsman
Aiden is the oldest of the bunch. He is the one who made me an aunt. He is sarcastic and full of wit, you never know what he will say either. He is also very tender hearted and sweet. I know life will take him far. Having him be part of our special day will be so much fun!
Flower Girl
The wild child. Lakynn is my niece and she never fails to light up the room when she walks in it. She will change the world with her caring heart and strong-willed personality. I have no doubt she will be a beautiful flower girl!
Flower Girl
Ronianne is another one of my nieces. She has so much personality and never fails to make people smile. I can't wait to watch her grow into a young woman. She will be a beautiful flower girl!
Ring Bearer
The baby of the bunch. James Ryder is a true character and he keeps everyone on their toes. You never know what he is going to say. Watching him grow has been so much fun, but it makes me sad at the same time. He will be the cutest ring bearer in the world!
Honorary Bridesmaid
Oh, my Kels. Kelsey was one of the truest friends I have ever had. She can't be with me physically on my wedding day, but I have no doubt she will be there in spirit. Kelsey meant so much to me. She was full of wit and sarcasm. She had a talent of always being the funniest person in the room. Kelsey is beautifully unique in all the very best ways. Losing her was one of the hardest things I have ever endured. I would give anything for her to be able to stand beside me on my special day. I miss her every day, but I will miss her even more on 9/10/22.
Dog of Honor
I got Zoey in 2018 as a Christmas present. She has made it through college, getting a full time job, moving a total of five times over the last four years, getting engaged, and now getting married! She is my little bestie and I would be lost without her.
Dog of Honor
Jayden found Harley on the side of the road several years ago. He rescued her with no intention of actually keeping her, but ended up doing so because of the connection they shared. Harley is so loyal to Jayden. She loves him and he loves her because of all the fun adventures they get into together.
