Olivia & Jon Rehearsal Dinner
Wedding Party
Bree Dawson
Officiant
The most wonderful, sweet, and bubbly lady who will be the one to marry us! A good friend who shows up, loves, and supports everyone through anything. Her life revolves around her kiddo, Tate whom she shares with her partner, Dan.
Courtney Whitenight
Maid of Honor
From zipping up prom dresses to bustling a wedding dress… A friendship that began over a Georgie’s bagel order and extended into our time working at Subway together. She’s been by my side and supported me through all my best and worst moments. She’s truly someone who’s taught me strength.

Olivia’s ‘older’ but not ‘oldest’ sister. People say often we look alike, although she has a bit more shy of a personality.

Reagan Silvette
Bridesmaid
The youngest of Olivia’s sibling bunch. A beautiful young lady who slays the makeup and hair game. She became a cosmetologist this past year, graduating from Vo-Tech.

Most likely to: be appropriately wasted
