Maid of Honor
Although we look like we’re adopted, Macey is in my fact my beautiful kid sister (yes I’m already crying) ❤️ I could not be more *honored* to enter my maid of honor era, with Macey’s bestie Lexi right by my side. Amongst the screaming matches, petty arguments, & attempted stabbings, it’s always been Mace & I against the world. It was just yesterday that she and I played Barbie’s & Monster High together, where we used those dolls to dream and plan of our ideal weddings. To see my baby sister make those dreams a reality is a feeling I can’t quite describe. & she has found the most wonderful soul, JM, to share that dream with. Enough with all the sap, I can’t wait to celebrate such a joyous occasion & party with yall!! 🥂🍻❤️
Maid of Honor
Hi, I'm Lexi, and I have the absolute pleasure of being the maid of honor for my best friend, Macey, on her wedding day. Our story goes all the way back to kindergarten, where we first met and quickly became inseparable. From playing with Monster High dolls and having endless sleepovers, Macey has always been my BFFEEFL. There is no one on this Earth I would rather devour a whole thing of red velvet Oreos with and dance together like no one watching on Just Dance. We've beaten Mario Bros more times than I can count, and we will continue to dominate on Mario Kart forever. Through every milestone, Macey has been my rock, and I’m beyond thrilled to stand by her side as she marries the love of her life. She is my sista from another mista, and I know this wedding is going to be just as full of laughter, love, and amazing memories as all the ones we've shared so far.
Bridesmaid
I’m Kenzy and I am so honored to be a bridesmaid in Macey and JM’s wedding!🩷 I met Macey in the second grade and by third grade we were the best of friends! Our preteen years were full of filming fake YouTube videos and obsessing over Shawn Mendes together. I became friends with JM in the eighth grade and little did I know that by the time we graduated highschool that Macey and Jm would be inseparable (I like to take partial credit in this matchmaking even tho it was bound to happen 🫶🏼) and without a doubt getting married. One of my favorite memories with Macey is when we accidentally microwaved butter for 3 minutes and it exploded absolutely everywhere. Not our brightest moment but it sums us up perfectly. And I have to add the time I was driving JM to EVIT and we got a flat tire on the freeway and I pulled off to the left side and the police had to stop to the entire freeway traffic just for us to cross to the right (oops). I am so excited to be apart of the wedding of my amazing friends and I am wishing them a lifetime full of love and happiness <3

I first met Macey through EVIT when we were seniors in high school. She was the first person I talked to, the first friend I sat next to, and the first person who I found comfort in. We became good friends instantly, and quickly learned that we are incredibly alike. We loved working together and laughing our butts off in class (sometimes we got yelled at, we were not allowed to sit at the same table). We learned that we could understand each other through one look, and we helped each other through the craziness of senior year. We are still good friends to this day through all the chaos of life, and every time I get to see her, it lights up my day and feels like no time has passed. I am forever grateful I met this beautiful and sweet soul, and feel honored to witness her and JM get married and spend the rest of their lives together. I love you Macey!

If you couldn’t already tell by how much we look alike yes am I confirming that I am Jm’s sister. A little fun fact, when we were kids everyone called us “The Twins” but we are actually 1 year, 3 months and a week apart(to be exact). Due to such a small age gap between us, we got to grow up and figure out the world together. He has been my best friend since the beginning but now macey gets to be his new best friend that he gets to grow old with. Many might see it as bittersweet but what I see is that I gain another best friend too. Over the years I have seen their relationship grow. They are the couple everyone looks at and thinks that is what true love looks like. Macey has been there for me through thick and thin and has become the older sister that I never had but always wished for. No matter how big or small a situation is, she is someone I know I can always go to. Not only do I love her but I know she loves me and always has my best interest at heart. I have seen girls come and go but i’m thankful that she is the one that stays. I wouldn’t want to share a last name with anyone else and cannot wait to officially be sisters with her. I can’t wait to party it up on the dance floor with the two of them on their special day!❤️

Me and macey met through JM, yes guys im related to him 🥲. Macey is my everything, she’s another sister to me. JM isn’t the brightest but he definitely chose the right girl. Macey will sit with me hours on end to talk abt a stupid boy or give me advice when i’m lost, she will laugh with me until we’re both on the floor peeing our pants, she shows me and my family unconditional love. I remember I came into talk to everyone that was over one night because I didn’t know how to let someone go that was unhealthy, anyway, JM and Mace helped me so much through it but one thing that has always stuck with me is when JM said, “Macey is the love of my life and I knew i was going to spend the rest of my life with her because she has never changed. She stands up for herself and she knows what she wants and she has never stopped loving me since the day we met, and she shows love for everybody around her”that night really stuck with me. That was sappy but I’m just so grateful to have someone like Macey in my life and to be able to call her my sister. I can’t wait to fall off coolers peeing ourselves until we’re old together because we can’t stop laughing. I love you guys with all my heart. cheers to forever!🥂
Mother of the Bride
Macey is my youngest daughter of 2 girls. Raising 2 girls has had some challenges but also is my greatest joy and accomplishment in life. Macey is headstrong, witty, thoughtful, and has the biggest heart. She cares so deeply for her family and friends. As Macey has grown up she became my workout buddy. We share similar passions, taste in foods, clothes and ideas. She is my mini me…as you can see from the picture! Our matching outfits were not planned! As a mom I always want to protect, guide, and be a good influence for my girls. It has been hard sometimes watching them make decisions that I don’t always agree with. But I also learned that is how they grow. It didn’t take Macey long to figure out that her choice in boys were not the best. It took John-Michael to come along and show her what real love feels like. From the day they started dating, they have been inseparable! They have been each other’s best friend. They remind me a lot of how me and Jeff were when we got together. I cannot express how proud I am of Macey and how grateful I am for JM. He has fit right in as a member of the family. I love them both to pieces and wish them a lifetime of happiness ❤️

Best Man/Beer Boy
Hi my names Dayton Lynch and I am the best man/Beer boy! Jm and I met back in math class in 8th grade and been inseparable since. From that day I’ve gained a brother and someone I know is there for me at all times. I’m grateful for all the long nights we’ve spent in the gym or on Xbox yelling about how bad our teammates are. If you’ve ever seen us together you’d know our bromance is something special. So special that it could have been me in that white dress. Although I might have been a little jealous when he picked Macey over me I knew though that’s who he truly deserved. She’s the kindest soul you’ll ever meet and one of the few if not only people I know that can keep this guy in check. Can’t wait to see what their bright future holds!
Best Man
As the proud older brother of JM, I’m honored to stand beside him on such a special day. For those who don’t know, there’s almost a ten-year age gap between us, which means I had a good head start in life before he came along. With that head start, I had the privilege of watching JM grow from a tiny little human into the man he is today. Growing up, JM and I found common ground through our love for football and wrestling. While he, unfortunately, inherited our dad’s questionable taste in teams as a Chargers fan, we still managed to bond over watching the Vikings give them a proper beating—several times, in person. Anywaysss… Watching JM grow into the man he is today has been an honor. He’s smart, determined, and has a heart big enough to match his loyalty—qualities that make him an amazing brother, friend, and now, husband. I couldn’t be happier to celebrate this day with him and Macey, and I look forward to all the memories still to come. Cheers to John-Michael and Macey! 🍻

Hi I’m Matthew Gill and I’m one of the groomsmen for John Michael and Macey’s wedding. I have know Jm since 5th grade when we met at Auxier Elementary. Me and Jm really clicked when Fortnite dropped in 2017. The countless nights of screaming and cussing at the game or whenever we would win a game was unmatched. I don’t even know how to thank Jm and his family enough for everything they have done for me over years. Even after growing up we have always hand a bond that seemed to click no matter the circumstances. Sometimes I question myself if Jm is always there in the head for example, who in their right mind can root for the LA Chargers? But I can’t wait to see what’s yet to come with Jm and Macey. I have know Macey for quite some time, she has always been a kind and loving person who always keeps her head high. So…. I think Jm found the right one…. I hope. Also if i ain’t there at the wedding thank Uncle Sam.

Hi I’m Tyler Lewis! John-Michael and I have been friends basically since we were born. We spent countless days and nights together playing Madden or playing football outside. I am so lucky to have had a friend like John-Michael in my childhood, and am so proud of him and Macey. I can’t wait for this wedding!

Flower Girl
Bailey is Macey's sweet, shy, goofy, beautiful cousin. She loves using her imagination, getting into Grandpa's chocolate, and is a Daddy's girl through & through! I never had the chance to grow up with any of my cousins, so having Bailey come into my life was one of the most important and memorable memories for me. I love this girl beyond words, there is nothing more special than having her as one of our flower girls!
Flower Girl
Sweet, spunky, sassy Miss Addi Rae is JM's cousin. She loves animals, the show Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, and being the center of attention. She loves being in charge so what better role than a flower girl? Addi has been attached to my hip since the moment I met her. She’s my little bestie & I’m so happy to have her apart of our day💖
Ring Bearer
Carter is JM's nephew. He is full of spunk and loves Pokémon! You can always find him somewhere creating mischief with his sisters, running around doing parkour, playing Roblox, and asking us to watch him play games!😆Carter is such a love and we can't wait to have him as our ring bearer!
Ring Bearer
Mr. Kash Thomas is basicallyyyy Macey's nephew. He is Rylee's best friend, Karlee's first born! Kash loves airplanes, Bluey, and his baby brother, Kamden. I’ve watched Kash basically since he was an itty bitty newborn. Watching him grow & become a big brother has been an absolute privilege❤️we can’t wait to have him in our wedding🥰
Roxy of the Bride
Unfortunately we cannot bring Miss Roxy to the wedding. She adores any and all human interaction, but is not the biggest fan of other dogs! Which is why she will be back home in AZ. She is stinky, silly, and oh so loving! She loves any and all kinds of carbs, she loves to sleep and be cozy in her blanket. I will miss my girl being next to me on my wedding day, smiling with her singular snaggletooth. Nonetheless, I know she'll be with us in spirit! Her and JM's bond is one of the cutest things to see, and one of the ways I knew JM was a keeper!! We miss you Roxy Roo❤️🐾
