Wedding Party
Brenna Gore
Matron of Honor
Bride's best friend of 10+ years. Olivia met Brenna during their freshman year of college. Within a night of meeting one another, they agreed to be roommates sophomore year and became best friends. Olivia considers Brenna her soulmate (sorry Sam), and she and her husband Cole are Olivia's confidants. Olivia's favorite things about Brenna are her laugh, huge heart, and their shared love of Halloween.
Emily Skinner
Bridesmaid
Bride's best friend of 10+ years. Olivia met Emily during sorority recruitment and once she pledged Tri-Delta, knew Emily had to be her big - a role that mentors new pledges and becomes a big sister. Since then, Emily has remained a steadfast friend in Olivia's life. Olivia's favorite things about Emily are her patience, active listening, their shared inability to make decisions and her adorable daughter, Shiloh.
Hope Kelly
Bridesmaid
Olivia's childhood best friend of 20 years. Olivia met Hope through a family friend during a photoshoot. Both girls were unwilling models for a children's clothing store, but as fate would have it, Hope's grandmother lived ten minutes down the road from Olivia. Hope and Olivia spent hours playing together every summer and holiday break and loved their standing visits every year. Even though they have never lived in the same state, Hope is a friend who has seen Olivia through all phases of her life and is one of her most cherished friendships. Olivia's favorite things about Hope are her sass, sense of humor, and incredible hugs.
Kimber Rudolph
Bridesmaid
Olivia's bonus sister. Olivia met Kimber when she was five, and their relationship has grown into a wonderful friendship and sisterhood over the last eleven years. Jokingly referred to as a 'big' little sister, Kimber shares Olivia's love of skincare and hair. Olivia loves Kimber's signature eye roll and takes Kimber's clothes once she outgrows them.
Miranda Keller
Bridesmaid
Olivia's friend of five years. Olivia met Miranda at a house party the day she and Sam officially started dating, and her first impression was that Miranda had to be her friend. Likely because she wanted to borrow the top Miranda was wearing at the party. But since 2020, Miranda and her husband Danny have become a huge part of Olivia and Sam's life. Olivia's favorite things about Miranda are her amazing margaritas, sense of humor, and how she always shows up for the people she loves.
Brooke Glassman
Bridesmaid
Olivia's friend of five years. Olivia met Brooke shortly after Brooke moved to Winston-Salem for a year-long work program. While Brooke would eventually move to Harrisburg the following year, that didn't stop Brooke from becoming a core friend in Olivia's life. Since then, Brooke and Olivia have remained connected through girls' trips, annual visits, and monthly FaceTimes. Olivia's favorite things about Brooke are her unfiltered thoughts, unwavering loyalty, and that she's a fellow curly girl.
Emma Kate Burns
Bridesmaid
Olivia's friend of five years. Olivia met Emma Kate while she was visiting her then-boyfriend, now husband, Matt, who lived across the street from Sam. They connected over their love of literature, Anthropologie, and Harry Potter. Emma Kate moved to Winston-Salem two months after that trip and became one of Olivia's best friends soon afterward. Olivia's favorite things about Emma Kate are her honest opinions, incredible cheeseboards, and their shared obsession with romantasy books.
