Maid of Honor
Sarah and I first crossed paths on the softball field playing for Esprit, and from the very first game, we clicked instantly. What started as teammates quickly grew into something so much more—we became inseparable best friends. Since the age of 16, Sarah has been by my side through every season of life, and now, at 23, I couldn’t imagine this journey without her. She’s not just my best friend—she’s family, and I feel so lucky that our story started with a shared love of the game and grew into a lifelong bond.
Bridesmaid
Nicole and I actually went to the same high school without even realizing it, but life has a funny way of bringing the right people together at the right time. As we got to know each other, our friendship grew naturally and beautifully. What has made our bond even more special is the fact that we both have children—we’ve shared so many moments of laughter, love, and life with our kids by our sides. Having them grow up together has only strengthened our connection, and I’m so grateful for the friendship and family Nicole has brought into my life.
Bridesmaid
Haylie and I knew of each other back in high school, but we were never really introduced until she started dating my brother. As crazy as it felt in the beginning, it turned out to be one of the greatest blessings. Haylie has become the best sister-in-law and bridesmaid I could ever ask for. We’ve grown closer than ever, especially as we raise my son and my nephew side by side. She’s not just family by marriage—she’s family by heart, and I’m so thankful for the bond we share.
Bridesmaid
Katie and I met when I started working at Great Clips, where she was my manager. It didn’t take long for us to realize how much we had in common, and from there, a wonderful friendship began. Balancing work with our chaotic friendship wasn’t always easy, but it was always worth it. Katie is one of the kindest people I know and truly the best friend I could ever ask for.
Junior Bridesmaid
Funny enough I've known Mackenzie her whole life. Mackenzie is my cousin, I remember the first day I saw her and it was mini me from there. We used to listen to My Chemical Romance together (she was only 3) and every time I hear "we'll carry on" all I can hear is her adorable voice. She is literally half my age and it is like looking in a mirror (literally she wears my old band t-shirts). I'm very glad to have Mackenzie in my life, I couldn't ask for a better cousin.
Best Man
Derek and I met in a pretty unforgettable way—by dating his sister, who’s now my bride. Over time, our relationship grew beyond that, especially as we both became fathers around the same time. We’ve shared countless moments watching our families grow, spending time together, and leaning on each other through parenthood. Somewhere along the way, that turned into a real friendship—one built on family, trust, and the much-needed “parents’ night outs.” Derek has been a constant presence in my life, and I couldn’t imagine not having him around.
Groomsman
Layton and I met back in high school through a mutual friend, and from day one, it was clear this friendship was going to be a loud one. Layton has always had a unique sense of humor—whether that was trying to mess with me just to get a reaction or screaming like an animal getting shot in the foot. Over the years, we spent plenty of nights out together, shared more than a few drinks, and made trips to the Lake of the Ozarks for some much-needed guy time, fishing and getting away from real life for a bit. As life moved on, our friendship grew into something deeper as we navigated fatherhood together, supporting each other through the chaos and the joy. Layton’s been a constant in my life, and I’m grateful to have him standing with me today.
Groomsman
Gabe and I met through Mya and Sarah, who have been best friends for years—Gabe being Sarah’s boyfriend. From day one, we instantly clicked, and it didn’t take long before we were spending time together fishing and making the occasional trip to the casino, where we’ve won big… sometimes. Through it all, Gabe has always been one of the most chill, easygoing guys to be around, and that’s exactly why he fits so naturally into this group. I’m grateful to have him around.
Groomsman
Tyler and I met back when we were first-term carpenter apprentices in school, both just starting out and figuring things out as we went. Over the years, we’ve had the chance to watch each other grow—not just in our careers, but in life as well. I was honored to be with Tyler on his wedding day, and it means a lot to now have him apart of mine. He’s been a solid friend through every stage, and I’m grateful to have him here with me.
