Maid of Honor
We met teaching at Beckendorff! I am not good at meeting new people but Maddie was added to the CTE team and we instantly hit it off. She keeps me sane while at work. We bonded over the love of teaching and musicals(SIX). She is so funny and is always all over the place and it helps me not to take things so seriously. Andrew and I love going out with her and a couple of others from teaching. We have gotten so close and I am blessed to have her by my side. Every day at school is always something fun and I was so lucky for her to have joined my team. She is so sweet and fun and I do not think I could still teach there without her. If it was not for her I would not still be there. Her crazy energy and her randomness brightens my day and I love her just the way she is. She even sits with me at coffee shops to do my homework for Grad school. Who would do that? It is crazy to think that a year ago I did not know her and honestly I am sure the first time we met she thought I was crazy. I love being able to get to know her and I can't wait to keep being friends for a long time coming! Fav color: Blue Fun Fact: Can make a cricket noise!! (ask her at the wedding)
Best Man
I met Andrew in elementary, but we never talked until junior high when we had band together and even then that wasn’t till 8th grade, we got much closer in high school going into marching band. We had lots of funny stories from high school that mostly took place on the bus ride to and from games or contests. One in particular that is still funny to me is when we were together I forget why but it was dark and I don’t know why but Andrew decided to make a facial expression and at that moment I had taken a picture of him and he wasn’t expecting it and I got his facial expression! We were dying laughing after we both looked at the picture Fav Color: Matte turquoise Fun Fact: I can move my ears individually!
Matron of Honor
Alyssa and I met actually becasue I work with her husband at BDJH. He and I were really good friends bonding over the fact that he has the same last name as my Husband to be (weird right?) She helped me make sure his classroom didn't look like a prison and He told me that I needed to go to the gym with her over and over (again I am terrible at new people). I think he said it for months before I even considered it and now we go together almost every day. We have grown so much together. I love hanging out with her and honestly, she's one of the best motivators I know. We even convinced Maddie to start going with us. She is incredibly strong and always helps me when I need her. I love our daily hot worx gossip and I would not trade that time for the world. I even love forcing her to wake up early when we cant go after school, lol. Who knew that I would have bonded over-exercise? I am so blessed to have become such good friends with her and I am so glad to have her in my life.

Andrew is my stepbrother and when we were younger I enjoyed being the bigger brother. I gave him picking right to pick on him that is. The best memory was he and his brother were fighting and I had enough and made them put an oversized shirt on and stand together, then made them sit in front of the tv holding hands till they apologized to one another! Fav Color: Lime Green Fun Fact: I always enjoyed being the bigger brother and always wanted them to look up to me for advise, and when they did it made happier than they will ever know!
Bridesmaid
I met her at the Wesley Foundation. She came in the year after me and I was not ready for the change. She was the only first year that I actually could have a full conversation with her. We bonded instantly over the fact that we were both in the marching band together and it led to an amazing friendship. We had to come home from church events early for the band and it caused us to bond. It was always so much fun from tricking everyone at Wesley to dying her hair in my dorm at 4 am in 20-degree weather. Everything is always so fun when were together. I miss her all the time with her living in Nac still. I am so glad that she is the one who took over my job at the Wesley foundation when I left. It was left in amazing hands. I am so blessed to call her my friend and I am so happy to have her by my side. Fav color: Green Fun fact: She lived in South Dakota for a short time where she got to go to a majority of their national parks

I first met Andrew when he was a little boy when his older sister and I started dating. One memory I’ll never forget is whenever he found a rubber cock on the floor and threw it on the ceiling about 20 feet above and he stuck for 10-plus years and we thought it was the funniest thing at that time. Fav Color: Blue Fun Fact: I’m actually a really nice, caring guy. I just have a RBF
Bridesmaid
We met because of our brothers surprisingly enough. They were playing baseball at Morton Ranch and us being supportive showed up to the game. We started talking because we were the only young people there. Slowly and surely we started to hang out outside of that. It sure helped that our moms were friends already. Even though I am so much older than her we became great friends. While it was hard because I was in college and it is hard to keep friends back home, I am glad we held through. And while she can't even drink yet she is still just as mature as everyone else. Now shes going to LSU and I am so happy for her yet so sad!

The way Andrew and I first had come across each other was back when I was in middle school and he was in high school. I was going on my 8th grade band trip with the Morton Ranch HS Band, originally I joined because of my cousin Alex he said it was fun and gives you a sense of community and that’s what I had been looking for in high school. When that day came we all had been assigned Bigs ( These were people to help guide you and be there along the way for whatever questions ) I was lucky enough to get Andrew. At that point I heard about Andrew this was one of Alex’s best friends in band and now I had gotten him as a Big?! I just knew we were going to be in some trouble from how much fun we made things for the trumpets! All of our bus rides to games and our competitions were the best. Singing, blasting music, cracking jokes I thought oh yeah it definitely was going to be some fun and maybe a little bit adventurous if you know what I mean. Since that day and throughout high school, to this day Andrew is one of the best men I know always there for you when you need him and if you don’t know too much about him all you have to know is if you ever need a stand-up guy, funny & caring, adventurous, loving, and most of all dependable that’s our man, Andrew, Congratulations bro, I love you and wish you & sara nothing but the best!!
