Maid of Honor
I met Sophia on May 13th, 2003, the day of her birth. We've been quite close ever since. She is my little sister, my best friend, and my other half. Without her I would not be the bossy, protective, thoroughly happy person I am today. I've known for my whole life that she would be my maid of honor someday. Our mom told us growing up, "You are each other's best friend. Other people come and go but siblings are forever."
Best Man
His name is Joseph, I call him Joey and everyone else calls him Joe. Yes, I've slept on his kitchen floor. No, it wasn't clean. He chooses to spend time with me anyways, love him for that.
Matron of Honor
Nick introduced Laura and I at the Grizzly Rose! The night we met we shared tequila shots and line danced until 2 am - a match made in a country song. Laura is my early morning coffee date, my lunchtime shopping buddy, and my nighttime dancing girl. She is the confidante I trust with everything. I look up to her so much, especially in her roles as a dedicated mother and a loving, biblical wife. I can't imagine walking this journey without her!
Groomsman
Name is Hayden, last name Starr. You read that right, two r's. Really had to go and steal the show. The audacity. Slept on a stranger's floor once with this guy. I might have a problem.
Bridesmaid
Lizzy is my oldest friend. I can't remember us meeting because it's been over 20 years. We reconnected in college and she did me the biggest favor of my adult life, introducing me to the amazing church that Nick and I call home. We have spent so many Sundays laughing in her car and having deep conversations about our lives. The incredible wedding venue Nick and I are getting married at belongs to her and her husband Keaton.
Groomsman
My sister's bff (fiance). He's here cause, you know... Eventually he'll be a family member on paper... According to the law that is. Beer and snow sports... and more beer.
Bridesmaid
Kacee and I met in French class in the fall of 2019. We would get very close that semester and through the rest of college, especially during the pandemic. We have seen each other through some of the best and worst seasons of life, with a friendship that truly endures. We are currently roommates and we traveled to Switzerland together this year for an epic ski trip!
Groomsman
Gluten free, so make sure to sneak some bread crumbs into everything you give him. Met through Liv from college, pretty sure I'm a consolation friend.
Bridesmaid
Lahni and I met dancing (no surprise) and have built a strong friendship over the years. She is the silliest, strongest, most real person I know. She challenges me to be better and most importantly she loves Jesus with a fierce passion that inspires me everyday.
Groomsman
Good solid dude and a better dancer. Should probably just handle the first dance for me; I'm terrible.
Bridesmaid
I met this beautiful, adventurous soul at Brave Church at a time in my life when I was in desperate need of new friendships. We have been in fellowship together through some of the hardest seasons. Claire is a bright light in my life and in every room she walks into!
Groomsman
Professional baker, amazing dancer, good dude. Keep a sack of bandaids close by, he's accident prone.
Flower Girl
We've known these beautiful girls since they were 7 and 2! They are the daughters of our best friend Laura and they bring so much light and joy into our lives.
Ring Bearer
Best relative #1. The cutest little guy there is. Careful, he WILL steal your girl, and smile at you the whole time.
