Maid of Honor
Maura and I have been best friends since we were toddlers riding bikes in our neighborhood 4th of July parade. We grew up right down the street from each other and there are so many great memories of making the trek to and from each other's houses. We famously watched a chick flicks and ordered pizza on any free friday nights that we had. She is forever an honorary Weidner and my very oldest friend. I'm so blessed to have her stand by and support me.
Best Man
I met Mason in the Ceremonial Guard. We were both in the Color Guard platoon, he was the big brother I never had despite him being younger than me. He has the better fashion sense, taste in music, and life advice. Mason doesn’t care about societal norms, Mason does what Mason wants. Period.
Bridesmaid
Kimberly and I met when we were at a summer church camp at the ripe age of 15. We're the kind of besties that call each other everyday, for hours on end, never ever running out of things to talk about. (Both Chris and her husband, Austin think we're nuts). Kimberly was my stand-in mother/caretaker when I had my back injury in January 2017. I'm forever indebted to her for everything that she did/does/will do (she's the real deal). I'm absolutely ecstatic to have this pretty girl travel from Northern California to be with Chris and I on this special day.
Groomsman
Cody has been one of my best friends since I was 3 *roughly*. We had a babysitter in common and we've been friends ever since. No matter how far away I go or how long we go without talking, we still come together like nothing has changed. He’s always got my back through thick and thin and I could not imagine a better friend to stand beside me.

Groomsman
Marcus was my roommate for my 2 years spent at the Ceremonial Guard. Marcus is very...Webster. Trust me, when you meet him, you'll understand. He’s the smartest, goofiest man I know. He went to Catholic University studying Political Science prior to joining the Navy. He'll be a political figure one day. He loves maps (particularly transit maps), saving money, and when he’s not saving money, he’s thinking about saving money.
Bridesmaid
Cousin of the Bride Kayla and I were thick as thieves growing up, despite the distance from California to Virginia. A group of 4 of us (which included Kayla, myself, and both of our little sisters) were nicknamed after the classic Teletubbies. I have fond memories of seeing each other both in California and Virginia throughout our childhood. Love you Lala!

I had seen Katie around at different functions but it's hard to not be instant friends when you're locked in the mess hall at Girls Camp for HOURS while everyone else is tubing down a river. She's always one of the those friends that you can call to rant/cry/sit in complete silence no matter the time. I've been lucky to call her one of my best friends ever since!
