Matron of Honor
Grace is one of the first few people I ever got to call a friend. We’ve known each other for nearly 27 years, and although Grace is younger, I view her as a big sister to me. She has seen me through every phase of life. This spot has rightfully been yours from the very beginning.
Best Man
Kurt and I grew up down the block from each other in the old Riverview neighborhood stomping grounds. He has been there for me in every major season of my life, and I know he will always be there for me when I need him the most. He is someone I consider family.
Bridesmaid
Niki is one of my closest church friends; a total weirdo. She might be the one and only person who matches my sense of humor to a T. We have shared many special moments together, especially in accountability and discipleship, and I am so blessed to have her in my life!
Groomsman
I met Minje the very first day I attended New Community Church. We immediately hit it off the moment we met – We both work as attorneys in the city and love tennis! Since then, he has been one of my closest confidants and someone I sincerely trust for life advice.
Bridesmaid
Our friendship started in 9th grade! She always picked me up whenever I was down and has pulled me out of the trenches. Loren is someone who will drop everything to help out those she loves. I trust her and agree with her on everything, especially her sense of style! :)
Groomsman
Kyle and I have been banging heads since either of us can remember; however, I would not trade my little brother for anyone else in the world. He is fiercely loyal, loving, and affectionate toward all those he cares about and will fight for you tooth and nail until the very end.
Bridesmaid
I met my sweet and thoughtful Ellen back at my first “big girl job” in 2016! Together we survived two different companies! Her presence and our conversations always bring out the best in me! I can always count on her to somehow make me smile and be hopeful even when I am sad.
Groomsman
German was the first friend I made when my family moved to Wisconsin. We met at the dentist of all places and to this day still laugh about that first encounter. When it comes to being a person of high integrity and character, German is the first friend that comes to mind.
Bridesmaid
Another 27-year long friendship! People always mistook us as twins until she grew 3 inches taller than me! Jenny is someone I look up to and I aspire to be like. I am so proud for the strong foundation we have built over the years! She will always have my back and I will always have hers.
Groomsman
My youngest brother. Andrew is someone I trust with my life, as he is as steady and dependable as they come. His level-headedness and soft-spoken personality brought much needed balance to our family dynamic, especially as Kyle and I were always at each other's throats.
Bridesmaid
Lauren is a real one! She is my most loyal and wholesome friend! In the moment when I needed friends the most, she brought and shared all of hers with me. Over the past eight years, she has taught me what it truly means to love your friends and neighbors. My role model!
Groomsman
Connor and I met on our first day of law school at Chicago-Kent and developed a strong bond during our countless study sessions together. His blunt and transparent personality is refreshing and something I truly admire. I know I can always count on him to tell me the truth.
Bridesmaid
Alexandria was my first friend when I moved back to Chicago in 2021. Meeting her felt like a fairytale, as I pursued her for her friendship. We have the most refreshing conversations, and her warm presence calms me whenever I feel anxious. My security blanket and energizer.
Officiant
Our beloved spiritual father and the man who teaches us how to love each other the way Christ loves His people. He also made so many subtle hints that we should get together. He is not only our pastor who roots for us but also our own personal matchmaker! We love him so much!
