Samantha Penrod and Wesley Sima's Wedding Website

Kylie Wise

Matron of Honor

Kylie and I have been best friend's since high school. We met on a tipsy Spring Break day (sorry mom), and have been inseparable ever since. Rapping Weezy in the Honda, sitting on the roof watching the stars, dreaming of the families we were set to build one day... Kylie has always believed in me and understood me in so many amazing ways. Always on the same page, her family like my own, I can't imagine Wesley and I's wedding without her by my side. I'm beyond lucky to have a friend like Kylie. She loves nature, her family, good music... and boy do we know how to have fun! <3

Amanda Derby

Officiant and Bridesmaid

Another lifer! We met in elementary school (I think... Could've been middle school, ha!) and our lives changed, and we moved away, have gone through different life stages, but have always found our way back to each other! Amanda is a dependable, kind, empathic, and loyal friend. She came with me to my dad's memorial and I won't ever take that for granted. She's also acted as Wesley and I's adopted third wheel... And we wouldn't have it any other way! She'll run for office in her 40's. Mark my words!!

Preston Slaughter

Bridesmaid

Preston became an instant friend when I moved to Denver, Colorado. She is one of my wisest and most inspiring friends as she implements Mindfulness, Yoga, and more Mental Health tools into numerous schools in the Richmond, VA area. From hiking, to diving and exploring, to volunteering at Sundance with Blaire, to our breakfast girl dates with Scoot Cult. Preston pushes the limits of life in so many ways.

Kaitlin Hendrickson

Bridesmaid

Kaitlin was one of my first friend's when I moved to Tampa from Grand Cayman in 2nd grade. We did gymnastics together at the Bob Sierra YMCA in north Tampa. We went through the Spice Girls stage (her Ginger and I baby... don't ask). We truly grew up together, and if you know the "O'Brien" girls, you know they are the absolute best inside and out. We've had so much fun through the years and now the soon to be mom of 3 blows me away every single day. Her strength inspires me to push the edges of my own limits to be better. I truly can't imagine my life without you and all the memories we've made. Your impact on my life is immeasurable. Time to go back to Nikki's!!!

Meghan Marek

Bridesmaid

Fabulous Meghan! Our friendship started when Meghan threw a table hockey pock at my head when I was about 7, and her 5 (rough estimating here) after I scored a point, haha. Little brat. One of my favorite middle children, free-spirit, can sleep anywhere, favorite person to discuss business ideas and plans with (check out @togatherdesign), super fashionista, down for anything partner in crime, and lastly super mama to Luke. I love you so much, Meg! Can't wait to celebrate with you by my side, cigar in hand!
