Katie and Olivia met in kindergarten but got close in third grade when Olivia told Katie “We’re going to be friends now.” And the rest was history. Growing up they played outside together, and made a lot of core memories in Grand Haven during their early teenage years. They love having game nights, and going to Mexican restaurants with Macy for life updates and full send margaritas. Katie has always been entertaining, light hearted, and able to brighten up anyone’s mood. She will keep everyone laughing and relaxed on Jake and Olivia’s wedding day.
Sophia Steven’s
Bridesmaid
Sophia is Olivia’s sister in law and has been a support person of Olivia’s for years. Caiden and Sophia started dating shortly after Olivia and Jake and Sophia immediately fit right in. She is incredibly thoughtful, Jake turned 21 in the peak of the pandemic and she turned her apartment into a Mexican fiesta with margaritas, tacos, and decorations. Together they enjoy indulging in baked goods, and dreaming about becoming moms together in the future. Sophia is the person to go to if you need an honest opinion, she’s incredibly authentic. Sophia is exactly the type of person that makes a wedding run smoothly.
Macey Fortuna

Parker Smit

Olivia began nannying Parker and his twin brother August when they were 6 months old. They’ve laughed together, they’ve cried together, and it’s only fitting to include them on her special day.
