Bride
Groom
There isn’t enough I can say about this guy. He would lasso the moon and give it to me if he could. He has been patient with me and helped me through some of the hardest times I’ve ever been through. He has been with me from what feels like the beginning. I have watched him turn into a wonderful partner, father, and family man. He has already been by my side for better or worse and I want to do the same for him for the rest of our lives.
Maid of Honor
Lifelong friend and confidant. We've been there for each other through some of life's hardest struggles and I wouldn't have it any other way! When I asked her "hey, uhhhh do you want to help me plan a wedding in less than three months?", her response was, "What?! Wait what?!? Really!?! Yours?! OMG congratulations! Yes, I'll make a list!". MOH material.
Bridesmaid
This girl is the cousin I never got to hang out with and the reason I am marrying "Greg". Clearly because she is a bad influence. I was dropping her off after homecoming when Craig and I met. We have so many regrettable and hysterical memories together. We were reckless at times. Today, she listens to me in times of crisis. She also tries to tell me to make responsible decisions and talk me out of impulsiveness and blah blah blah. This whole being a mom thing re-wired her brain. I don't even know who she is anymore but I'm about to prove to her I'm not as crazy as she thinks I am! EVERYTHING IS GOING TO GO ACCORDING TO PLAN, ASHLEY!!!! STOP STRESSIN!
Bridesmaid
This girl has been by my side since elementary school and she will be for the rest of my life. Now, our girls are growing up together. Definitely someone I can count on for ANYTHING and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Up for anything and always willing to help me out with no questions asked! One of the best for sure 💜
Bridesmaid
This girl came into my life like a wrecking ball. There is nothing subtle about her. She is loud, fun, opinionated and I knew when we both made it back from Disney alive, she was a lifer. She is the spontaneity that my life needed. She reminded me that you can be a mom and have fun and be silly. I feel like I have known her a thousand lifetimes. I live for our adventures. I'm thankful that she came into my life when she did because God knew I needed her brutal honesty and support.
Best Man
Never misses a beat when it comes to helping me out. He’s literally the best man I know hence his role! And also not much of a picture taker. If you don’t see anyone that looks like this, it’s because he’s changed since he’s had his last picture taken in 2011.
Groomsman
Chris is my brother and although he is hard headed some times, he has always been a good hearted person with good intensions. Cares strongly for his family and will do anything he can to help them out. It Is a honor to have him as a grooms man. He probably spent more money than we did on this occasion….
Groomsman
Funny, bold, and fabulous. Jaret is Strong set in his belief’s and isn’t afraid to voice his opinion. He is intelligent and sarcastic and matches both Katie’s and mine personality. He has earned the right to be considered family ten times over and we are more than happy to have him standing up at the alter with us. P.S. We have intentionally mislabeled items as “vegan”. Keep an eye on Jaret. You won’t be disappointed.
Flower Girl
38 Pounds of straight up sass. This little girl made us parents and we owe her so much. Traditionally marriage comes before children but, let me tell you... Being able to have her as my flower girl, makes this day even more special and she will remember it for the rest of her life!
Ring Bearer
This is a wild animal. He is up to date on vaccinations and good with kids. He completes our family with just the right amount of crazy. If you have breakables, keep them out of reach. Don't leave food unattended (especially cheese or cake). He is a mommas boy through and through and he's going to be the BEST RING BEARER EVERRRRRR!
Mother of the Bride
My mother has literally given the shirt off her back for me. She would for anyone and she spreads herself so thin I’m not sure how she has much left over at the end of the day. If you notice she has a few more gray hairs these days, it may be our fault 😬 Sorry mom!
Father of the Bride
Lonnie stays in the background but is a huge part of our lives. He provided me a strong father figure by choice. And now, a grandfather to our children (not by choice) 🤣. He is a hard working man, and at the end of the day he can know that his family is thankful for him. He has been able to provide us with opportunities that wouldn’t be possible without him.
Mother of the Groom
My mother has always been a pillar in our family. The one who all confide in and gives helpful advise even if she isn’t in agreement with the actions. She is strong and loves her kids more than life it’s self. With all the ups and downs we have all struggled with she is without doubt everyone’s mother. She loves Katie like a daughter and will always rout for our life together in every way she can.
Father of the Groom
Richard “Dick” Papineau is my father. We haven’t spent many years together but I had a wonderful time getting to know him and Lois a little better over the summer. They were kind enough to invite me to stay with them in Sarasota and I had a blast. My dad has taken his artistic talent and made a good life for him self. The literal version of following his dream and actually achieved it. It goes without saying that he is a part of me coming who I am. Check out his Facebook page to see some of his one of a kind pieces.
