Bride
If you don't know who she is, you're probably on the wrong page.
Groom
Kind. Funny. Occasionally dresses as Darth Vader. The total package, really.
Mother of the Bride
To the strong, capable, loving, and wonderful woman from whom I have learned and grown with - I love you more than you love winning Monopoly. Yours always, Audri <3
Mother of the Groom
Julie is a mother among mothers. She has been a secondary mom to Matthew's friends, and to everyone she gets to take care of. If there is one word to describe her, it would be 'caring.' I love you Mom.
Father of the Bride
Thank you for always showing me how to love others well. You inspire me to be a better leader, servant, and person. All my love, Your Forever Little Girl
Father of the Groom
Christopher is the man with answers. He is a source of constant guidance and advice, and has become a caring and invested father to all three of his children, to their friends, and to many other young men and women who have come and gone through the years. I love you, Dad.
Maid of Honor
From awkward roommates our Freshman year of college to also awkward lifelong friends. May the chocolate on your face always serve you well.
Best Man
Harrison used to throw things at me after Mom and Dad turned out the lights. He is the person who takes the most pleasure in pushing my buttons, and the person who I turn to for advice the most. Wildly successful, wicked smart, and the most fun to argue with. I love you Harrison.
Bridesmaid
My favorite sister and biggest hype-man; I'm so proud of the young woman you're becoming. I love you forever, my Slytherin.
Groomsman
"There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother." - Proverbs 18:24 Jackson has been a brother for many, many years. He is family.
Bridesmaid
To the one who has always been by my side, I'm thankful you chose to be there again on my special day. Love you long time, Des.
Groomsman
Andrew was the random roommate I never could have anticipated, but can only thank God that I was given. Our three years together gave birth to a friendship that has extended far beyond our undergrad degrees. He always went to bed before me, and I spent many nights silently crawling into my bed to avoid waking him. There's nobody I'd rather share a room with.
Bridesmaid
"I'm so excited to be a part of your life as you grow and learn and change. Matthew's cool, but you may be my favorite Lingren." Audrianna wrote some stuff ^, but you're my sister first, so I think I'd better write some more. Annie, a person who is so smart, so capable, and so talented, remains remarkably humble. I have never heard her boast about her own talent. I always hear her asking for ways to bless the people around her. She could do anything, but the first thing she does is love people. Pretty frickin' epic. Love you, Ramoe.
Groomsman
The only real-life cartoon character I know. Josiah is a friend to everyone, and I am blessed that "everyone" includes me.
Bridesmaid
Forever thankful for your friendship, your kindness, your tv-marathons, your rants, and your you. Thanks for being by my side this day, and every day.
Groomsman
Jack is a man among men. Not just in his (considerable) stature, but in his capacity for love and care for his friends. He is a pastor, through and through.
Bridesmaid
There's no one I'd rather jam out to songs I don't know than you. Thank you for all of our late night talks and coffee dates. All my love to my favorite 4.
Photographer
One of the best cousins a man could hope for, and probably the best photographer I have ever known. Ben is a marvel.
Officiant
Tiberius Rata is wise, caring, and pastoral. Our relationship began in his classroom, and while we may have passed a lot of notes during his lectures, he has been a remarkable source of encouragement and wisdom as we have grown together.
