Maid of Honor
Greetings, I am known as Rachel's favorite sister. When I'm not working as her humble servant, I enjoy writing, drawing, and sewing doll clothes. In the coming years, I hope to publish novels and sell my artwork. I've known Rachel since I was born and it is a great honor to be chosen as her maid of honor. I wasn't sure the kind of person who would be worthy of her, but Braden passed the sister test. They are both good people who I am looking forward to seeing their future together.

Hi! 👋 I’m a Barista who is addicted to the bean juice she serves to others. I’m always in the gym lifting weights, some might say I’m a “Muscle Barbie”. I am Rachel’s favorite cousin and that being said, you now know that I’ve known Rachel forever haha. We’ve always been close despite her moving away while we were young (still salty) and for as long as I can remember it’s been “Rachel, Megan and Samantha” the trio! It’s such a special thing because yes, we are all cousins but we are also besties 🤍 It’s been such a joy to see Rachel and Braden’s love blossom over the years, they compliment each other well and you can see how much they care for each other.

Hi! I live in Cincinnati, and I am Rachel’s favorite cousin. Currently, I am working for a nonprofit organization where I help people with mental health diagnoses reintegrate into the workforce. I spend my free time traveling, drawing, reading, and playing with my dog, Lainey. Growing up, Rachel, Megan, and I had the best time together and I feel lucky to have cousins who are also my close friends. Rachel is a such strong and talented person and I’m so happy she has found a partner with those same qualities.

I’m Braden’s favorite and only sister. I currently live in Columbia where I’m studying business at University of Missouri. I love coming home to visit for family game nights and spending time with family. I spend most of my time with Braden and Rachel. Since I spend a lot of my time with them, I know a lot about them individually and as a couple. I’m so excited for this chapter in their lives and I can’t wait to see my brother and my future sister-in-law get married!
Best Man
Hi folks! I am Braden’s best man. Currently living in NYC, I am trying to make ends meet as an actor, and when I tell people that they say “Cool! So which restaurant do you work at?” which is rude (Café Chelsea). Braden and I met doing community theater nearly 12 years ago, and to be his friend is one of the greatest honors I have ever known. From endless hangouts until dawn as teenagers, to seeing him fall completely in love with Rachel, to calling weekly in different time zones, it has been such a blessing to witness his growth both as an individual and in this relationship. Thank you to the bride and groom for giving us all a reason to celebrate!

Hey there! I'd like to open by tooting my own horn (pun intended). I achieved my childhood dream job of a locomotive engineer (I drive choo choos) just recently and I can't thank Braden & Rachel enough for supporting my nerdy self. Anyways... Braden and I have known each other since middle school, and became very close while going to the same high school together. We goofed off in Choir and Theatre together, and spent many afternoons and evenings hangin' out. When I met Rachel and saw how compatible and energetic their relationship was, I knew that she was the one for him. I'm so very happy to have witnessed and captured Braden's proposal to Rachel and I can't wait to stand by them as they finalize their bond to each other. Let's party!

Hey everyone! I first met Braden during a youth production of Shrek the Musical back in 2014. We played skeletons that tripped Donkey and then did a cool handshake. It was awesome. My friendship with Braden means the world to me. I’ve loved growing up alongside him through our heely phase, our first job at a golf course, and our obsession with Sprite Cranberry. Meeting Rachel, it was immediately clear how well she and Braden fit. They complement each other incredibly well and I am so excited to be part of their special day!

Hey, I am a student at the University of Missouri Columbia studying psychology, hopefully going into the medical field to be a psychiatrist. I am Tessa’s boyfriend which puts me in the running for favorite future brother-in-law. Spending time with Braden and Rachel is one of the things I look forward to most when visiting from college. Whether we are playing games or just talking, it is always a great time. I am so excited for their wedding and I can’t wait to see them start this next chapter of their lives.
