Sarah Schwarz
Bridesmaid
Sarah is the ultimate OG. We’ve been best friends since preschool—over 20 years strong—and I honestly can’t imagine life without her.
Gabi Silverstein
Bridesmaid
Gabi, you’ve always been more than just a cousin — you’ve been a constant in my life through family dinners, sleepovers, road trips, and even foreign exchanges. We’ve made so many unforgettable memories growing up together, and we couldn’t be more excited to have you standing beside us on this momentous occasion.
Shira Silverstein
Bridesmaid
Shira is one of Sami’s cousins, and we’ve shared a special bond since childhood. Growing up just a few miles apart, we did everything together—especially boating on the lake, which quickly became our happy place. That’s why we chose the lake as the location for our wedding. It holds so many cherished memories, and I couldn’t imagine celebrating this milestone without my cousins by my side.
Cullen McGinnis

He’s family in every sense of the word.
