Matron of Honor
Bride's Sister-in-Love Bianca and I met 10 years ago when she began dating my brother. In those ten years, she has grown to be one of my closest friends and my most trusted confidant. I have been so blessed to have a sister like Bianca. She's stood with our family through our darkest seasons, and through our greatest triumphs. Whether she was doing my hair and makeup for high school graduation or helping me pick our bridesmaids dresses, her constant support and guidance has always been grounded in truth and I couldn't have made it through this process without a rock like Bianca.
Best Man
Groom's Brother from Another Mother I couldn't picture this day without the guy who has been there for it all. Growing up on the same street, we were always together. Whether it was dragging computers to and from each others houses, starting a youtube channel, or crashing Jake V.'s house for a video game marathon, we were truly inseparable. Starting our own business together (Bastion Roasting Co.) only solidified what I knew about Jasen- no matter where he is physically, he is always there for me and supports me as only a brother can. Gator Gang Forever.
Bridesmaid
Bride's Cousin Kelsey is a true ride-or-die, and is always down for an adventure. Having known Kelsey since I was only a few days old, memories of game nights and summer-long sleepovers date as far back as I can remember. I couldn't imagine getting married without her by my side!
Groomsman
Groom's Friend John is always quick to listen and gives the best advice. We don't get to see each other much since he lives across the country, but he's an OG and he's always been there for me, dropping sage wisdom for me like my own personal Buddha.
Bridesmaid
Bride's Cousin Sydney is the most hardworking, most dedicated, and most caring friend I have. I am continually overwhelmed by the effort that Sydney puts into every aspect of her life, including her relationships. Sydney is the kind of friend that every girl needs, and I got lucky enough to have her as a cousin too! This season wouldn't be complete without her.
Groomsman
Groom's Friend Gabe has been making me laugh since high school. and makes sure our group sticks together. Between our guys' trips and cookouts, you can always count on Gabe to show you a good time (so make sure to look for him on the dance floor).
Bridesmaid
Groom's Sister Hannah is Chase's sister and now one of my dearest friends. She has been completely invaluable to us in this process. She is always there to listen, and to encourage the best in everyone around her and I am so incredibly grateful to get to have a sister like Hannah!
Groomsman
Groom's Friend Jake is the friend who always treated me like family. Growing up, I could walk into his house at any time of day and be treated like one of them. It is still like that. Now we fix cars and ride motorcycles instead of riding bikes to play video games, but the bond is just the same. I know Jake will always be there, especially if I need someone to go with me to buy a sketchy car on craigslist.
Bridesmaid
Bride's BFF Claire and I were roommates in our first year at Vanguard and established a friendship that withstood the test of many trials, moves, and career changes. Claire is the most loyal friends I've known, and I cherish our late night Sonic drive-in dates, and our weekly meetings. (plus, would you just look at her cute babe??)
Groomsman
Groom's Friend I've known Chris since middle school and our friendship has truly withstood the test of time. Chris is the kind of guy who's always got your back and will never turn down a good time.
Bridesmaid
Bride's BFF Rachael and I met in church youth group nearly 11 years ago, and we've been through so much since then. After many summer camps and college later, Rachael is still one of my most constant friends. Our late night chats in tiny cars in front of our parents' houses look different these days, but I wouldn't change any bit of our story.
Groomsman
Groom's Friend Michael and I have been friends for such a long time now, and we always have a good time together. Whether we're building something, taking something apart, or dreaming up our next hobby, Michael and I are always finding an excuse to dust off our power tools.
Bridesmaid
Bride's BFF Gabby is my long-distance BFF and the one who has truly stood beside me through some of my darkest days. Gabby is one of those friends who has become family and nothing, not even her moving a whole state away, could change her place in our family.
Officiant
Bride's Brother Andrew (and his wife, Bianca) have truly supported our relationship since Day One. Andrew has encouraged us, challenged us, and teased us- like the big brother he is. We couldn't be happier to have Andrew marry us. He has quite a few hats to wear during the ceremony, so you'll probably see lots of his face.
Flower Girl
Our Niece Amelia, is our tiny best friend and the sweetest little firecracker you'll ever know!
Ring Bearer
Groom's Cousin Alex is fun-loving and kind, but watch out; he can beat you at any board game!
Ring Bearer
Our Nephew He'll probably be running down the aisle, but we wouldn't expect any less from our wild guy!
Bride + Groom's Basset Hounds
Best Boys Bark, bark. Awoo.
