Torah Buckley
Junior Bridesmaid
This future sister and bride duo hit it off as soon as the snowball hit the face! That’s right, their first time meeting was a snowball fight and Torah showed the bride who’s boss. But she’s much more than just boss of the fun times. She’s spunky and fun, but fiercely loyal and compassionate, traits the bride has seen through all the spontaneous blueberry throwing games and sweet conversations over Sunday dinners. The bride is SO excited there’s a lifetime more friendship between these two.
