Flower Girl
Ari is my first niece, my first little lady, the first baby of the family! From the very first time I saw Ari on the ultrasound to the first time I held her we have had a special bond. She was the one who nicked named me "Ba" and its stuck. People say she's a "Mini Beth" & honestly I'm not so sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing but I adore & admire her rambunctious, assertively strong-willed, and lovable little attitude! She will test your patience & make you question your sanity but in the next breath she's telling you she loves you & giving you the biggest bear hug her little arms can give. She will forever by my "Little Lady".
Honorary Best Man/ Ring Security
Hunter is Jeremy's son and Beth’s bonus child! He is the most caring, thoughtful little man. He is so helpful to anyone or anything in need & always tries his best at whatever he puts his mind to. Even if it is Xbox against daddy and daddy always wins. He may have a tiny melt down but the next day he’s asking to play again. He is our sports child, into anything & everything from soccer to baseball to football, you name it, he’s trying it! Hunter is also really smart, he enjoys math and gym (obviously) and has really come out of his shell the past couple years. He’s always laughing and being goofy, his mood is contagious so if you're having a bad day being around Hunter will turn that around! He’s grown so much and continues to amaze us each & every day.
Maid of Honor
Nina is the sister I never knew I wanted, we argue like sisters, we borrow clothes like sisters and best of all we forgive like sisters. No matter what song is playing, she's on the dance floor. Always the first one on and the last one off and even when you don’t feel like it, she’s dragging you out there! Everyone knows us as “The Biddies”, always dancing, laughing & drinking our wine. It’s all thanks to her Sunday wine nights and her husband for that title. Even more now than before she left us for Vermont, Nina is the glue that brings us together, always planning some sort of get together, girls weekend or just checking in to say hi. She doesn’t let friends drift too far away because she understand life can get hard but a girl needs good friends, girl talk and drinks to get by!
Best Man
Brett (brettster) isn't just the "best man" because we were born five days apart in the same hospital with both our mothers going through pregnancy together while also best friends, leading to the close friendship me and him developed over our childhood and still to this day. Not just because we spent many days and vacations together from riding our atv's Accross the Canadian border as well as train hopping and staying on until speeds got so high we almost had no other option but to end up in another country, or our fishing trips with our fathers and working on our cars and trucks including the huge start of getting my old man's GTO back on the road which meant the world! All this while always getting along and never getting sick of one another. well even though those are all excellent points to make the best man's list there is even more lol. Brett is what you would call the godfather of this groomsmen party we like to call " the boys" Brett introduced everyone from way back and we have had our tight little group ever since and I couldn't see it any other way! cheers!!!!
Bridesmaid
I met Ally through Nina and thank god for that because Ally has one of the biggest, most genuine truthful hearts and souls around. She is so kind and always there for someone no matter what she has going on in her life. She has been through so much and puts up with way more than she deserves but she always manages to find the good in everyone, the lesson in every step back and comes out a rock star on top! She doesn't have a malicious bone in her body and is always encouraging and straightforward with any advice she gives. She is the perfect road trip partner, her driving doesn’t give me a heart attack and reach for the “oh shit handle” every corner we take and her taste in music automatically dibs her DJ in the car plus she's always down for an adventure and trying something knew!
Groomsman
I will never forget the first time I met Abel, late night in my driveway trying to explain the rules of the game " Beer pong". Ya never would have known it was his first time, kid was sinking shots like nothing!! We pretty much became partners every party after that! We've been tight since day one & haven't looked back, could tell millions of stories we've had from concerts (missing the ACDC), sporting events, vacations, & making good times out of days we shouldn't have like when he helped moved our whole house in 1 weekend or gutting the basement in 1 day. I was going to get into some of our stories that we captured in the public restrooms but it's weird. Moral of the story is he's the type of guy that'll always been there & will always have a great time! ps. see you on the pong table bring everything you got.
Bridesmaid
Melissa wiggled her way into my tiny little circle of friends & honestly my life has been so much better since then! She is "THE BIDDIE" PARTY PLANNER, always throwing some kind of party from her fiesta birthday, to her Gal-entine brunch, to the St. Patrick’s Day party, to her Redneck party & her friends-giving dinner. The events have become tradition within our group & look forward to going! She is always prepared for our get together, putting out some sort of spread & mixing some kind of cocktail to pair with the yummy goodies. With that being said she has turned into my go to for new breweries & wineries & unintentionally became my drinking buddy that I can't keep up with but still try & fail miserably but regardless she is the epitome of a good time even if you are a light weight.
Groomsman
Mathew Palmer aka " Matty p" the most quiet dude you will ever meet but when he does say something it will blow your mind LOL. pretty much just always has genius sarcastic answer to whatever you say. After being roommates when he got back from college I found that out the hard way. Always down to watch or talk football. The only thing I recommend not bring up around him is politics, it will make you want to jump off a bridge. Huge Elizabeth Lauren fan......
Bridesmaid
With bedrooms next door to each other since I was 3, we grew up like sisters rather than cousins, Courtney knows all of my deepest darkest secrets & I’m sure she’s got some good black mail material if needed! Even though I’m sure she had to have bitched & moaned about me being her little shadow; ALWAYS being around, begging to hang out with her & her friends, tagging along to Interskate 91 nights, begging for her to do my hair & makeup; I don’t remember her ever complaining. What I remember is waking up to "Achy Breaky Heart "by Billy Ray Cyrus, making up dance routines, putting make up on our brothers, I guess you could say we had the best childhood! We’ve gone through our share of ups & downs but Courtney's always been there; I am thankful our relationship keeps getting stronger!
Bridesmaid
Christa has known me since I was 16 & probably has some really juicy stories from my younger Drum Corps days... then my baby brother stole her but what more could you ask for than a best friend that can never leave! She’s that person that you can truly be yourself around & will never judge because she’s just as nutty as you are if not nuttier, I mean you have to be to have created a little family with my stinky little brother. Christa is my go to when I need to vent & I know that what I say to her stays with her. She’s let me cry on her shoulder then when I'm done being dramatic, she makes fun of my ugly crying but not without making fun of herself first. She is so light hearted & her personality is contagious, couldn’t have picked a better friend turned into family!
