Wedding Party

Christina Blahovich

Maid of Honor

Christina has been with the Bride since her Day 1. As her little sister they have always had that sibling relationship. As very different women, they saw the World in different ways at times and even in different Zip Codes at times. Being her big sister has always been the role Michelle is most proud of, but in recent years they have taken to learning and growing with each other in friendship as well. She is the best sister a girl could ask for, and even better friend.

Shane Hartlaub

Best Man

Ja'Mere and Shane became quick friends when they began working together a number of years ago. Recently married, Shane and his Wife Taylor have been wonderful friends to Ja'Mere and welcomed Michelle into the fold with open arms. From motorcycles, to Nashville, and even a camping trip or two, Shane and Ja'Mere will always have a great time together.

Laurel Bishop

Matron of Honor

Laurel and the Bride were first introduced when her brother Tom started highschool at BCA. When Laurel joined Michelle's class in 2004 they were fast friends. Fast forward to 2006 when Laurel and her family welcomed Michelle to live with them as she finished out her senior year of high school. During this year Laurel and Michelle became more of siblings than anything else really. To this day they Michelle considers her as a life long best friend. Life has taken them both to different zip codes, but they still find time to enjoy each others company. Now that the Bishop's have moved to Ohio the whole group is able to get together and have fun, all 8 of them.

Best Man

Erika Harris

Bridesmaid

Erika and Michelle first started their friendship working at Camp Frenda in the Muskokas of Ontario, Canada. Right after the first few weeks of training they had to arrange their "days off" with each other. After that first summer they both knew this was a friendship that would last a lifetime. Later in life during Michelle's last year of Masters at Andrews University, they had more fun while housing together of campus. Michelle was honored to be her Maid of Honor most recently in 2019, and even though distance separates them geographically the friendship picks up right where they left it every time.

Amelia Bishop

Jr. Bridesmaid

Little miss (aka Amelia) is who I consider my very first neice. Daughter of Laurel and Jake Bishop, this young lady has had me smiling and laughing since her Day 1. When she was first born we were able to spend a lot of time together and developed a very special bond. She is kind, creative, adventurous and bold. I couldn't imagine not having her apart of our Big Day, and look forward to having her stand with me as we say 'I Do'.

Alexis Bishop

Flower Girl

Lexi Lou (aka Alexis or Lexi) is Michelle's second niece. At 4 years old this little lady is just a spit fire of personality and energy. She is a loving and creative little one who always makes sure everyone feels at home and included. One of the best silly face makers I know and well dressed of course. I'm excited to have her join us when we say 'I Do'.

Ja'Mere French II

Emery Duncan

Flower Girl

Em (aka Emery) is Ja'Mere's baby cousin. Daughter of Kevin (R.I.P), Ja'Mere's cousin, Em is a spunky and vivacious little lady. She loves to just jump into the mix of her cousins and have the best time. This little lady will tell it like it is, talking a mile a minute but is caring and sweet as well. A friendly, fun, and beautiful little girl, we are excited to have her join us for our Big Day. We honor her father's life by making her apart of our day.
