Maid of Honor
Who better to have as my Maid of Honor other than my big sister? Alla has been a pillar of strength, love and wisdom in my life. She is the person I know will always have my best interests in mind, who will always listen and give her best advice and is always there to support me. Alla was a part of the engagement surprise that Nate had planned for me, started a wedding Pinterest board for me, sent me a wedding playlist and genuinely supported Nate and I from the start. It is my honor to have her be my Maid of Honor.

My little sister, D! Diana is the most incredible younger sister anyone could ask for. Although she is nine years younger, she has been a huge support in my life. Diana has been there for me through the ups and downs and has one of the most loving and authentic hearts I know. She was the first one I told about my crush on Nate - at the time, I just called him "turtle boy" and she was the one who helped me process a lot of my feelings. Diana is an absolute gem of a person and I am so honored. to have her be my bridesmaid!
Bridesmaid
Stacii is the best friend anyone could ask for. She is wise, kind, compassionate and I learn so much from her loving heart. She is a woman of faith that I always turn to when I need extra prayer or wise advice. Stacii and I met at a youth group at church and clicked right away. We had so much in common and were inseparable ever since - road trips, sleepovers, volleyball tournaments, trips abroad, prayer nights, movie nights...you name it, this girl is always there for me!
Bridesmaid
Danielle is an absolute treasure to me. She was Nates first best friend and was there for Nate throughout our entire relationship. After Nate and I had our first smoothie date, she was the one he had called to share the details with. She was also the one to give him advice, feedback on his date outfits, as well as tips on how to plan the ultimate surprise proposal for me. When I met her, she reminded me so much of my older sister and I immediately felt a sisterhood bond was made. I am honored to have Danielle as a bridesmaid to me and forever a best friend to Nate.

Oksana is my soul sister! We originally met when we were young teens but our close friendship began when I started attending the same church as her almost 7 years ago. Oksana is the most positive, genuinely enthusiastic, kind, passionate and hard working people I know. She has a heart of GOLD and has a love for people that is overflowing. Oksana is a forever friend that I am honored to have and I am so grateful that she was open to helping me coordinate the wedding - did I mention how organized she is? This girl is GOALS!
Co-coordinator
Alyssa is another one of my soul sisters. Alyssa and I met at youth group and went out for coffee - she and I dove into some deep conversations from the very start so trust me when I say she is someone that is there for you through it all. She has so much compassion and love for people and I am honored to have her in my life. One of my favorite memories with Alyssa was traveling to Hawaii together for Staci’s wedding and singing Karaoke at a local bar!
