Sherri & Michael
Wedding Party
MiHyun Choi "Choi"
Bridesmaid
Choi, where to begin? You were the best roommate I could ever ask for! You paid rent and basically used your room as storage! Growing up we were attached at the hip and moved to Valdosta in the same year (1993) so it must have been fate that we became friends that became more like sisters. I used to always say you and Sheetal were only children until I came along and then it was the three of us, peas in a pod, loving each other like sisters and fighting like them too!
Sheetal Thakoor
Bridesmaid
This brings me to Sheetal! My sister from another mister and Gemini twin! Like I said we all moved to Valdosta in the same year and were inseparable until we were in college and well you decided to be cooler than us all and move to New Zealand! Despite the distance in between us we still talk via FB video (thank God for technology ) multiple times a month and I am so grateful you are flying back for this occasion! It would not be complete without you!
Heather Young
Bridesmaid
Heather and I started working together about 4.5 years ago in the pediatric clinic. She has been someone I turned to in very stressful times at work and helped keep me sane in life. She is the only person I would ever make liquid Jell-O shots for on their birthday! We have been there to tell each other we are messing up and to support each other and our children! I am forever grateful you are in my tribe.
Gulden Rockwood
Bridesmaid
Gulden over the past 4.5 years you have brightened my life in so many ways. One way I feel I helped brighten your life is by turning you on to wine and having wine dates at my house or yours when it was most needed. We have been through ups and downs in our personal lives and refused to let one another fall. You are the best at coming out and mysteriously disappearing, so folks enjoy this one before she is gone! Love you!
Kate Baker
Bridesmaid
Kate we were 18 when we first got introduced by your now husband and one of my best guy friends. I will be forever grateful Scott chose you and I got to become your friend. From Berrien Co beach bonfires and talks of becoming flight nurses to having babies and becoming moms, there is no one I would rather share this with than you! I will be forever grateful for our wine nursing school study sessions and now being in each other's weddings!
Ariel Jones
Bridesmaid
Ariel and I were brought together by the Military. Ariel was an active duty medic and I had just started working out at the base. She has been such a supporting friend from the beginning! We have helped care for friend's children when deployed together and helped be there in milestones of our own children, no one I would rather co-parent with than you! When I have been at a loss for words of inspiration and needed counseling (there is a reason she has a bachelor in Psychology) she put me on the right path and helped me not make poor decisions (well tried to at least)! God has big things in store for you my friend.
Sarah Klingemann
Bridesmaid
Sarah my dear friend! We met when I was 18 as well. I stayed with you in Ray City for a couple of months and boy did we grow up. You were by my side for some very monumental events. When you moved away and we didn’t get to talk as much as I would have liked I still got to fly in and surprise you for your wedding, it’s what we do! From bar pit road nights to working hungover at Zaxby's you have always been there for me no matter the distance between us! Couldn't do life without you!
