Maid of Honor
I started working with Kaitlin about 5 years ago at a local coffee shop. Our relationship grew and she became one of my bestest friends. A friend I could always count on if I were ever in need of anything. She soon became my translator to interpret my unique humor to others. She is also the person who enjoys thrift and plant shopping just as much as I do.
Bridesmaid
Julie and I met at the coffee shop 5 years ago as well. She always had something funny to say. She invites me to do Pure Barre all the time. She is always great at supporting others to workout with her regardless of their fitness level. We became closer after becoming sounding boards for each other regardless if it was a minute to an hour. What's funny is that whenever we say something wrong, we knew what each other meant.
Bridesman
Bryan is one of my greatest friends and is always on the same page as me. We met in military and we are always down to going to Fosko Coffee Barre for some caffeine. We always confide in each other and we typically start the conversation with guess what I just did. He has always been there for me and others. You could be a complete stranger and he would walk up to you to give you a compliment to make sure you are having a good day.
Bridesmaid
Kristine is one of my 3 sisters and is a year older than me. She is the rebel/comedian child in the family. Her and my sister Amber love to banter with each other. There is never a dull moment that's for sure. Most of my life, my siblings would call me adopted and most people in high school referred to me as Kristine's sister. Kristine always made sure though that we took plenty of photos with each other. Even though she lives in Wisconsin, she is super quick to answer my phone calls whenever I need to rant.
Bridesmaid
Amber is another sister of mine and is a year younger than me. All throughout high school, she was my protector and wouldn't let people make fun of me. She doesn't let people break her down. If you had an opinion about her she did not care about, she would simply moved on. If I ever needed anything, she wouldn't think twice before helping me. Whenever we are together, we have to either grab sushi or qdoba to eat. With any of my 2 sisters in my wedding, they are always great with last second plans which turned into great adventures.
Best Man
I’ve known Adam for a number of years now and thanks to our similar interests and viewpoints we’ve become incredibly close. My decision to choose Adam as my best man was because he is family. He has been there for me through all sorts of trials and tribulations. At the peak of our achievements to the lowest and weakest times in our lives we’ve been there for each other.
Groomsman
“That long haired hippie” as I thought to myself the first time I met him. We met as volunteers helping others overcome hardships dealt to them because of their commitment to or country. Thanks to our passion of the outdoors and helping those in need we realized that we shared another commonality; were neighbors. Our friendship grew stemming from a love for food, fishing, friends and family. Justin became someone I could trust without hesitation.
Groomsman
As luck would have it, my big mouth and ability to spin half truths brought us together. Similar to the other groomsmen we met through the universal mediator, fishing. Shaun had a boat, I had a particular set of skills that made it impossible for a greenhorn fisherman to ignore. Even after relocating we kept in touch until their inevitable return to the gulf coast. Our friendship turned family thanks to our continued love of everything that makes us unique.
Groomsman
As the saying goes, family will always be there for you no matter what. Married to my sister Nhung, Billy became my brother and has never weaned from that title. Like my other brothers he’s been there to guide me through life. Given me financial, spiritual and life advice even when I didn’t want to hear it. His wisdom spans beyond many life times, without him I couldn’t imagine where I would be now.
Groomsman
Aside from William, Alan has known me the longest and is the most relatable in this band of brothers. I wouldn’t be where I am now if it had not been for his un wavering work ethic. Our love for all things fast and loud created a friendship that lead us through some memorable and tough times. I stood by him when he married the love of his life, I was lucky to be one of the first to see his baby boy. We don’t get to see each other as often as we’d like but it goes without saying brothers never miss a beat.
