Father and Mother of the Bride
Father and Mother of the Groom
Matron of Honor
My big sis that I've always looked up to from the start. She made me forts when I had the worst case of chicken pox, we danced alongside one another in theater dance camp, and I copied her every haircut. Stop trying bangs Jen, it gives me false confidence haha! All joking aside, she has helped shape me into the woman I am today. I'll always admire my sister for her creativity, drive and sense of humor. The "cool" mom for sure!
Best Man
Became friends Junior year when he transferred from Eastlake North to Willoughby South. Friendship blossomed in college at Ohio University where we both did victory laps :) Always makes me laugh. Backs that up with being very loyal and dependable. My go-to guy that I can always count on.
Maid of Honor
My lil' sis Emmy completed the Griffin Girl Tribe. I wanted her to be my twin from the beginning, begging my mom to buy us matching (but different colored) outfits from Gymboree. The only person who can sleep in the same bed as me without complaining of my sleeping style (punch-kick)! Em is smart, gregarious and loyal to her family and friends, someone you definitely want in your corner.
Groomsman
Lifelong friend from Edison Elementary who's been a part of my life ever since. Military hero who always has my back. Reliable and trustworthy. We've built our relationship on pushing one another and holding each other accountable. Love this guy!
Bridesmaid
My long-time best girlfriend. We met in the second grade in Mrs. Puskar's class at Bellflower Elementary although I totally knew who she was the year prior (tall girls unite)! We were orchestra nerds through and through, we studied AP biology for fun on Friday nights while eating Haagen-Dazs ice cream and Pringles. She is a star volleyball athlete, woman of faith and newly married to a lucky guy!
Groomsman
A true man's man. Maker of amazing cocktails and delicious dishes. Ben has treated me like a brother from day one and my sister Nicole, like a queen. He is an amazing father to my niece Sydney, and nephew, Spencer. It's a running theme with my groomsman, but a man of his word and always ready to lend a helping hand. Love him and all he does for our family.
Bridesmaid
We met in the seventh grade at Ridge Junior High School. Back when we starred in original theater productions and rode our bikes to Rita's for custard every day. She is the only person I've ever met who can memorize East Coast Custard's flavor-of-the-day for the entire summer! Rach is beautiful inside and out, she has a soft spot for dogs and a Masters in Social Work. She'll be the first to bust a move to Beyoncé!
Groomsman
A friendship that started at Edison Elementary as well. Honest and straightforward, he has always set the standard for what it means to be a GREAT GUY. Blessed to have in my life, extremely proud of how he acts as a husband and father. I'm privileged to learn from the example he has set.
Bridesmaid
We met in college at Bowling Green, she would save me a seat in the front row in our Anatomy class. Kaitlin wore the five finger Vibram shoes before anyone else, a trendsetter and fashionista! We worked together at Starbucks in the Student Union and "studied" for microbiology while Kaitlin multitasked with her Shake Weight. She loves Jesus and is such a bright light in this world. She will give birth to her first child this June!
Groomsman
Easy going and good spirited, Smylie has always been my go-to partner for hiking, rock climbing, yoga, or anything outdoors. A guy who loves Willoughby as much as I do! Proud to call him a friend.
