Matron of Honor
My big sister, my first friend in life. I am so happy that you will be at my side for my big day. I'd like to say life was made a little easier for me having you as a big sister. Someone to look up to. Someone who could show me the ropes. Someone I could watch get in trouble first, so i knew what i could and couldn't get away with growing up. haha. I love you always xo P.S. please move home. Thank you ;)
Bridesmaid
My BF for life! How many years has it been? Honestly this box doesn't allow me to type all the fantastic things I'd love to say about you and our friendship. So short and sweet it is! We went to elementary school together, then middle school and then high school! It wasn't until HS that we eventually knew we shared an equally weird bond. haha. We have been through so much together in this lifetime. Lots of happy, sad, funny, crazy times! We always talked about growing into old ladies together, well my friend we are half way there! lol I love you so much. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being the friend i always needed. xo
Bridesmaid
My sister-n-law to be! Jami and I hit it off right away once we found out how much we both enjoy our wine! ;) But other than that, we seem to be very much alike in many ways! I couldn't ask for a better sister-n-law. I am looking forward to marrying your brother, and stealing you to go party with! haha. xoxo Jami is my (Ryan's) big sister. She has literally been there my entire life! And has almost always had my back (there was that time she beat me over the head as a helpless baby strapped into my carseat while Mom was pumping gas...but who's counting lol!). Jami is so selfless and caring. She's an incredible mom to my niece and nephew. She's a big role model for me and I learned a lot from her. Thanks for standing up with us on our big day, Jami! We love you!
Bridesmaid
My other sister-n-law to be! Kali is such a sweet kind hearted person. Beautiful inside and out. She is goofy and fun and has always made me feel so welcome. I can't wait to spend more time with Kali and Jami. I couldn't ask for a better sister duo to become part of! xoxo Kali is my (Ryan's) baby sister. I remember being there in the hospital when she was born and looking down at her little, newborn body under the warming lamps (and thinking it was pretty gross lol). It's been so awesome being her big brother and seeing her grow up into the amazing woman she is today. After being too far away for my liking in Chicago the last couple of years, she's back in Michigan and I couldn't be happier! We are thrilled that you are standing up with us on our big day. Thanks, Kali, we love you!
Best Man
I met Mat at MSU (Go Green!) during the Finance Association Career Fair and Golf Outing. We eventually had a couple classes together and developed a great friendship. We were roommates during our Senior year and studied abroad together in Europe. Now we live in neighboring cities in Metro Detroit. I was Mat's Best Man as he married his wife, Katie, and I'm thrilled that he was willing to fill the same role on my big day! Mat's one of the most important dudes in my life, and I'm thankful for his continual support. Thanks, Brotha!
Best Man
With Keith and I, it's as close to family as it gets without sharing the same blood. We met through school in Brighton and lived in neighboring subdivisions. I could hop on my bike, ride the trail through the woods to get to his neighborhood, then roll down a massive hill that basically ended at his house (the ride home took a little more effort!). Our friendship became extremely close and our families more or less adopted each other! We were together non-stop through high school and shared many awesome times. We've been able to make some unforgettable memories. I was Keith's Best Man and I wouldn't want it any other way than to have him in the same role on my day! We will always have each other's back. Thanks, Bro!
Groomsman
Jeff is my cousin and the closest member of my extended family that I've got. We are only a couple months apart in age, and with each of us growing up with two sisters, we naturally bonded and loved hanging together. At a young age, his parents watched me while my Mom and Dad worked and we had some awesome times. We would jam out to the Beach Boys (and pretend like we were playing in the band) and perform "food volcanos" (imagine chewing up a bunch of crackers, tilting your head back, and spewing them into the sky!). To this day, Jeff is a guy I can always depend on and love getting together with. Here's to many more rounds of golf! Thanks for being there on my big day, cous!
Groomsman
Ryan has been a part of my life since I can remember. He's my brother-in-law, married to my sister, Jami Cox, and has basically been with her dating back to when I was in 8th or 9th grade. He's an extremely selfless guy that has always been willing to lend a hand with myself and entire family (especially in taking care of our vehicles!). He is an awesome dad to my twin niece and nephew, Gianna and Jake, and a great husband to my sister. I always enjoy hanging with him and getting in a round of golf. Thanks for standing up with me on the big day, Ryan!
Groomsman
Nick, April's little bro. Even though he is all grown up and acts all big and tough now, He knows deep down (April) I can still kick his butt! haha. Life may often take us too far apart. But he's got my back and I've got his. My wish for us, is that we grow even closer as we get older and make time to be a family. I am so happy, Nick, that you will be at Ryan and I's side as we begin this new journey together. I (Ryan) met Nick during family visits at the Reneski's. Nick is a great dude and awesome brother to April. I'm lucky to be getting a guy like him for a brother-in-law. I'll continue my pursuit of him in cornhole while basking in the glory of my victories on the golf course haha. Here's to many more competitions! Thanks for standing up with me, man!
Flower Girl
Gianna is my (Ryan's) one and only niece and also my God-daughter. She is a twin of Jake, one of our Ring Bearers. Her parents are Ryan and Jami Cox (my sister). I can't say how much I've loved watching this beautiful girl grow, and I love spending time with her. She's so smart and has such an incredible future ahead of her. We are so excited to have you be our Flower Girl on our big day, GG! We love you so much!
Ring Bearer
My miracle little nephew and God son. Born way too early, but by the grace of God you are a healthy growing little boy. (growing way too fast!) Can't wait to see how cute you and your little brother are walking down the aisle. You gain an Uncle that day! (I must say he is pretty great) Auntie April loves you to pieces xoxo
Ring Bearer
Lucas, my (April's) nephew. Such a spunky, happy and sassy little boy. haha. I think your mommy would agree. He will be turning 4 this year and will walk down the aisle next to his big bro Evan. I am so happy these munchkins can be a part of our special day.
Ring Bearer
Jake is my (Ryan's) one and only nephew. He is a twin of Gianna Cox, our Flower Girl. His parents are Ryan and Jami Cox (my sister). Jake is such a great kid with a huge heart and lots of love for his family. It's been so fun watching him grow up, and I always enjoy playing with him! He's such a talented kid, and has a bright future ahead of him. Thanks for being our Ring Bearer, Jake! We love you so much!
