Maid of Honor
Obviously, my sister was going to be my maid of honor! We drive eachother crazy but I wouldnt have chosen anyone else. Shes an awesome supporter and has said for years that she considers Mike a brother. We're very lucky to have her a part of our lives and as an aunt to our babes. While as of now, we're lucky to be cleared to move forward with our day as planned, my sister's senior year ended abruptly and basically all of her prom, graduation and Ivy Tech plans have gone out of the window. However, even in uncertain times, she still chooses to support us and our wedding plans at full speed. This is why she is perfect for the role.
Best Man
Nick and Mike have been friends since before they could walk or talk. They grew up as best friends, and dont have a single memory that doesnt involve almost getting hurt, getting hurt, or something questionably illegal😅 Even before Mike and I ever talked about our own marriage, he has always said Nick would be his best man. While growing into adults, and beginning their own new chapters, they don't spend as much time together as they did in their high school years. With that being said, they make the absolute best out of the time they have together now and still continue to create awesome memories.

my BEST FRIEND. Jane and I met 5 years ago in English class. We immediately got along and have been friends since then. She is the one person who is always there when I need anything. She is wonderful with our kids and would drop anything at any moment to come and lend a hand. While our adult lives have forced us to live in different cities inside of different states, it isn't uncommon to still find us together every weekend. We're most blessed to have such an amazing "go-to" person when the need arises.

Cody and Mikey met in 2016 when Mike started at Wood-Mizer. They had alot in common and got along well. Cody is a great friend who always shows up, and is almost always down for anything. We love having him in our lives! BTW.. he's single, ladies!

Heather and I have known each other for who knows how many years now. We were friends years back but grew apart a bit in high school. We were reunited last spring when we both learned of each others pregnancies. Since then, whether it be some new weird thing one of our bodies is doing, or anything from parenting advice to "what should i wear?" being pregnant together and having little ones just a week apart has brought us close again. Heather's daughter, Miley, was born just 8 days before Lincoln. I was so happy when Heather accepted my invitation to be a part of our big day.

I'm not really sure what we were thinking having Mike, Nick, AND Trent all in the same place all day, but usually it means trouble. Nick and Mike along with Trent get into and do the craziest things, but they're good buddies when Mikey needs something or someone and for that we're grateful.
Bridesmaid
Halie and I met a few years ago back when our boyfriends starting working at Wood-Mizer together. It was trouble from the beginning, but I gained a wonderful friend because of it. Halie has a son, Easton and a younger daughter, Harper. Both of whom are each 11 months older than my two. Whether we get together for play dates or for a mom's night out, we never fail to have a good time.

Brad-y. Brady and Mikey met, again, through Wood-Mizer. The funny thing is NONE of them even work there anymore. Anyways, Brady is seriously one of the best friends anyone could ask for. He ALWAYS shows up, literally. whether he has 20 other places to be that day or has to drive 20 miles out of the way, Brady is always there to support and be a friend, and hes always down to have a good time.

The newly wed Mrs. Caplinger! Samantha and i have been cousins for going on 22 years now and probably know and have seen more of eachother than we care to! We have laughed and cried together, and while we have been there for eachother during some of the worst times in our lives, im also grateful to have been there for eachother during the best times.

My sweet cousin Isabella! For those who do not know, I was the flower girl in her parent's (my aunt and uncle) wedding. Ive always known I would have their daughter in my wedding too. Im so glad she gets to be a part of our big day!
Flower Girl
Our first born. Our baby girl! While some may consider having children before being married as one of the worst things you can possibly do, we are BLESSED that BOTH of our kids get to be a part of our big day 💙 Memories for a lifetime.

Kaleb and my sister have been together for quite some time now. He's the greatest guy I could ask for her. Hes very selfless and kind and always willing to help where and when needed. Not to mention he is WONDERFUL with our kids. We've all grown quite fond of him.
