BFOTB (BEST FRIEND OF THE BRIDE)
Let me tell you something about my Best Friend...SHE IS AMAZING!!!! Although she is only 9 years old, she has earned her roll of Maid of Honor. Not only has she known us her ENTIRE life, she also gave Eric permission to finally marry Sabrina ( after years of Eric begging). She is my partner in crime and in shopping. Life would be so boring without you.
Hand of the Bride
No that's not Beyoncé... that's my Maid of Honor! Even though we used to fight because she would borrow my clothes (without permission), she ended up being a pretty cool sister. The ying to my yang and my favorite person to make fun of mom with. Thanks for letting me be your bossy older sister, this whole thing would not be the same without you.
Bros of Honor
My Brothers from another Mother! Even though these two used to drive me crazy and do all the typical annoying stuff little brothers do, they have grown up to be pretty awesome. So happy to have my two boys standing up at the alter with me.
Bridesmaid
Who would have thought that getting stuck together at a party would lead to such a great friendship? So grateful to have her in our lives and for her wicked rap skills. She is not only an amazing friend, but also a great therapist. Thanks for being there for both of us and for always making us laugh.
Bridesmaid
From Middle School to Marriage, the years have gone by, but life is always so fun when we are together! She was there when Eric and I first met, and contrary to popular belief she is not Eric's sister! (Although she is my other favorite Peterson). We have created so many hilarious memories together and we will always be Best Friends... especially since she knows so much about me. Now its time to make more memories to laugh at when we become crazy old ladies!
Bridesmaid
The Yoga master and my dress shopping partner since high school , she has always brought happiness and positivity to my life. Not only is she one of my best friends, she is my forever dance partner( we always love an excuse to dance!) Growing up with you has been so much fun! We have come a long way since Cheer and making music videos in your room, but will always be those random fun loving girls.
Bridesmaid
A constant source of laughter, Camille is one of the funniest people in our lives. We met in cheer and later realized we were neighbors. Our bond has been kept strong through our mutual love of pranking people and sending each other funny videos. We have gotten into many SHEnannigans over the years and will probably continue to forever. I couldn't imagine getting married without her there to provide some comic relief.
Bridesmaid
With our mutual love of horror, Selena, and wine, how could we not be friends? With her go with the flow attitude, Mel has become one of my closest friends and someone to confide in. My lunch buddy and hype woman, so happy to know such a wonderful soul.
Bridesmaid
Whether we are talking Harry Potter or watching Downton Abbey, our friendship has been great and extra nerdy. My partner in wine, and savior from third wheeling with Eric and Jacob, I am so happy we ended up friends. So excited for all the new chapters in our lives, and glad to have someone to go through it with.
Best Man
Being an older brother Chris took his duties very seriously. Whether helping me navigate the trenches middle and high school with his advice, or providing the typical brotherly "toughening up", he was there for me at every stage in life. Being easily entertained and rambunctious as we were, I lost my count of the times we mutually lied and took the blame for one of the others shenanigans when mom and dad came home to find our completed misdeeds. Never ones for boredom we find fun in the same stupid things, that anyone else would never understand. Just ask him about the bbq beef song, or try to lay a drum line beat around him and you'll see what I mean. He may have ruined cheese forever for me, but I'm honored to have him share this moment with me by my side.
Groomsman
You know there's always that guy people know, who knows a little bit about EVERYTHING. Jacob is that guy, he's "my guy", the person I can refer to and say "I know a guy". Truly down for anything, Jake and I have been through it all and had a blast doing it. The man I can talk to about literally anything, me and him have shared many a long talk with the sun rising up, cigar in hand and maybe some bourbon (sorry grandma), reflecting both serious and lightheartedly, but always honestly.
Groomsman
The Lloyd to my Harry, the Dumb to my Dumber, Kirk and I go way back to the baseball days. Only fitting that he was my catcher when I would pitch. I remember thinking this kid was crazy, then I got to know him, and realized, yes he was my kind of crazy. Through baseball we developed a close friendship and it grows to this day. Kirk is one of the most honest people I know and can tell me straight to my face any truth I need to hear. Always one to push those around him to do what they truly want in life, he is a source of encouragement, often with complete candor, that I value greatly.
Groomsman
Since kindergarten, Chris has been one of my closest friends. Upon moving to a new school district in middle, me not knowing anyone, Chris promptly introduced me into his friend "crew" and the rest is history. A constant source of laughter whenever he is around, Chris is unabashedly proud of the humor in things that others might raise an eyebrow to us, making it all the better. Though living across the country, every time he is back we can pick up right where we left off, the kind of friend that feels as though we never left.
Groomsman
When I first met Auggie we were both sharing our annoyance at a party, and somehow in 30 minutes he, Jacob, and I realized we'd been hanging out with the wrong people the whole time. We hit it off immediately, and senior year friendship became a life long one. Auggie is definitely one of the most genuine people I know, and someone who I can have fun with and pick up right where we left off the last time I saw him.
Groomsman
Mr. Kardos keyboard typing Period A, Suzanne Middle School. That's where it all started with Carl and I, deviously enough with him and I making fun of the teacher. I should have known that start would lead to more shenanigans and it did. Carl is a constant source of sarcastic humor that I cannot get enough of, and if you know Carl you've been on the receiving end. The kind of friendship where you can't say anything nice, without making fun of them first, I wouldn't change a thing about us.
Groomsman
Always around through my high school years, but never knew him until after, I realized what I had been missing in Andrew. One of the most fun loving people I know, this guy is up for anything. The conversations and times we've shared have been awesome, all with a dose of typical "cupid" humor. A creator of the "Yes Pete" and "Ellen" sayings, that caught on in the group, Andrew is always quick with a joke to make everyone laugh.
Groomsman
Literally the funniest person I know, Brandon can light up a room the moment he shows up. Brandon has been a close friend since high school and one you can always count on to bring the fun along with him. Whether he's making his rounds at the party giving everyone a slice of humble pie, or making fun of his own self, Brandon is a blast to be around.
Petal Patrol
Jude the RADDEST little dude! Adorable,cute dimples, and an amazing sense of style , of course we had to have him as our Petal Patrol!
Ring Security
When it came to picking our Ring Security, we knew these two boys would be the perfect candidates to get the ring safely to its destination. Benny & Josh are two of the most loving and protective boys ! We are so lucky to have such awesome nephews!
