Wedding Party
Stacey
Maid of Honor
If you haven't had the absolute pleasure of knowing the girls "Stacey and Gracie" since the beginning of their younger days... we'll just save you the stories and ensure you that they had a LOT of fun together for the last 23 years! From middle school on, the dynamic duo traveled countless times to Siesta Key together and raised absolute chaos for years on end by each others side. Stacey even delivered her beautiful daughter, Amara, on Gracie's birthday which they now love to share! Stacey is a dedicated VA Registered Nurse that has a heart of gold; Gracie truly would not be who she is today without the constant love and support through every up and down in life without Stacey by her side near or far.
Jami
Maid of Honor
Jami and Gracie grew up across the street from one another since the age of four. The two of them, including their lovely siblings, would run through the neighborhood day and night like a pack of strays, always coming back to Gracie's parents to eat everything in the refrigerator, demolish Susan's brownies and jump on the trampoline. Crazy enough, Jami moved to Newport Beach, CA and Gracie to Los Angeles where they both built strong careers; however, that's when the real fun was had! Gracie and Jami traded off many weekends making the one hour drive to the others city to have a fun night out on the town, go to concerts, travel to the dessert, scope out the new bar, soak up the sun on the beach, hit up the Catalina Wine Mixer, take the boat out, you name it! Gracie could never explain the incredible bond, constant push, loving support and endless laughing tears that have brought the biggest smile and countless memories from miss Jami Jo.
Ashley
Bridesmaid
Ashley is the soul-sister to Gracie, the leader of their good-vibe tribe and the sun-kissed energy that every person needs in life! An avid traveler herself, Ashley and Gracie grew up together in little De Pere yet both let their wings spread to different parts of the county later in life, never losing touch throughout the years. After too long spent on different ends of the country, both moved back to Wisconsin with no idea that they'd be "settling down!" Ashley now lives in Milwaukee (yay for only 101 miles away!). She is the person in Gracie's life that is there for every holiday, every birthday, every event, every phone call, every everything. She has a soul made of gemstones; always someone that Gracie knew would be standing by her side her on her special day!
Claire
Bridesmaid
Have you even walked into a new job, tail between your legs because your the new kid on the block? Then thirty minutes into that shift, you meet one single person that you think - yup, I love you, let's be best friends. That was Claire! Gracie and Claire met while working at Bellin Hospital on the Cardiac Unit while they were in nursing school. Through hell or high water, a lot of wine, a lot of tears, a lot of awesome nights out and a lot of "we've got this," the two never let the hustle of nursing life get between an amazing friendship outside of work. Claire is an avid traveler, loves to party for absolutely any given reason (even if there isn't one), never says no to any adventure and is Gracie's go-getter gal. Everyone needs that one person in life that just gets you, and for Gracie that person is Claire - something she will be forever grateful for.
Aiyana
Bridesmaid
A little BBQ led to two best friendships... sitting about 10 feet apart on some grass, both new moms, tired as hell, wine in hand, 10 month olds crawling faster than we could move, Aiyana and Gracie started chatting about this new "mom" role that they were both experiencing! Little did the two know that a lot of wine nights later while the dads were being dads so that they could have some relaxing laughs, their friendship blossomed into dual hangs! Both Aiyana and Gracie had their sons two weeks apart - Oliver and Cooper are absolute besties and have full blown babble conversations figuring out world problems. Aiyana quickly became a bestie of Gracie after both realized they loved a lot of the same things! Travel, wine, their sons, adventuring, good food and "mom days." Aiyana is an absolute gem in Gracie's life, bringing nothing but all of the laughs and the best play dates new moms could ask for!
Sara
Bridesmaid
Sara and Gracie met while working at Duke's Restaurant in Huntington Beach, CA! Almost instantly, Gracie knew that Sara was going to be a life-longer. The simplest of things shared was and is always cherished by Sara, something that Gracie found beyond special. What do you know, they both loved traveling, hiking, adventuring and so on, which made it easy to pack up a basket and head to the beach or wherever their hearts desired! Throughout the years and many, many moves across the country, Sara and Gracie stayed connected and grew into the role of being new moms together only a few short months apart. This is something that the two of them were beyond thrilled about, knowing that their sons would grow up together (even from a distance)! Sara has shown Gracie day in and day out that distance will never matter and that their friendship is one to last an eternity.
