Maid of Honor
I met Tori when I was just 16 and she was 15, bonding instantly at travel ball softball tryouts and we’ve been inseparable ever since. For the past 11 years, she’s been my rock, my cheerleader, my partner in crime, and the sister I got to choose. From late-night talks and spontaneous road trips to celebrating life’s biggest milestones together, she's been there through it all. I can’t imagine this day without her by my side. She’s been a huge part of my journey, and now she’s a huge part of our wedding too.
Bridesmaid
Vivian is my amazing cousin and one of the people who has been by my side through thick and thin. At 22, she brings the perfect mix of youthful energy and a great sense of humor to our bridal party. Whether we were causing chaos at family gatherings or sharing heart-to-hearts late into the night, she's always been someone I could count on. I'm so excited to have her standing with me on this special day—she's not just family, she's one of my closest friends.
Bridesmaid
Paige came into our lives nearly five years ago, and it’s hard to remember a time without her. She’s been such a blessing not just to me, but to our whole family. Our kids adore playing together, and some of our favorite memories have been made simply hanging out with her and her amazing family. I'm so grateful to have her as a bridesmaid and a lifelong friend.
Best Man
Jerry and I have been best friends since our freshman year of high school which means he’s basically family at this point. We’ve worked together, traveled together, and somehow survived a few Mexico trips where better judgment was definitely left at the border. Case in point: the time J-Nutt tried to get an iguana to drink a cerveza in Cabo. He’s the guy who brings the chaos, the laughs, and the loyalty in equal measure and I couldn’t imagine this day without him by my side. Just don’t let him near any wildlife at the reception.
Groomsman
Dylan and I first met at our apartment complex, where we were sitting in the pool drinking beers under a giant “No Alcohol” sign. What got me talking to him was his Duke koozie I knew right away he was my kind of guy. Back then, we’d even drive all the way to Portland just to hit Shari’s Pies and gamble, since it was legal in Oregon but not in Washington. Dylan is a degenerate gambler just like me, which probably explains why we get along so well. These days he’s back in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, and while there’s not much in that state, it’s always worth the trip to see him. I’m lucky to have him as a friend and even luckier he’ll be standing by my side on my wedding day.
Groomsman
I met Sean when I lived in Coronado, and he’s been one of my closest friends ever since. These days you can usually find him behind the bar at McP’s Irish Pub, or next to me at a concert. I’ve been to a lot of shows, but Sean’s the one who usually tags along my go-to concert buddy and video game partner. Sean also has a signature move after a night of drinking: waking up in the morning and saying, “me hung over” or “me no feel good.” He’s a little more emotional than Dylan, but that’s part of what makes him such a good friend. I couldn’t imagine this day without him standing by my side. Sean would have been our flower girl, but that was already taken so we made him a groomsman.
Flower Girl
Isabel is five years old and will be our flower girl. She has a big imagination and loves exploring the world around her whether it’s picking fruit in the garden, searching for bugs, or creating colorful crafts with her paints, drawings, and scissors. Isabel has the sweetest spirit and a little sass that keeps everyone smiling. She brings so much joy and laughter to our lives, and we’re so excited for her to play such a special role in our wedding day.
