Best Man
Ryan and I met at a basketball court 10 years ago. In those years, there was a lot of 2k, late nights, and worn down basketballs. More recently, Ryan and I spent the weekend with my family at a cabin in Pinetop drinking, playing games, and having fun in the snow with our flower girls. He will no doubt say that he is going kayaking with his grandpa on the weekend of our wedding but, as always, he'll be there.
Maid of Honor
My sister and I grew up close and got closer during her time in the Army. When we were kids, we used to take turns sitting in a laundry basket on top of a comforter and riding through the house - and whether it was on purpose or not, we'd wipe out into the cupboards pretty often. More recently, we had a sister's weekend together in Hawaii cage diving with sharks, taking island drives, and eating plenty of Dole Whip. If you hear Led Zepplin play at the reception, you'll know that she definitely bribed the DJ.
Bridesmaid
Maya and Gloria met through work and, as the saying goes, the rest is history. After going out a handful of times, they quickly became close friends over drinks and great food. Despite the college rivalry between them (BEAR DOWN!!), Gloria has turned into one of Maya's best friends and couldn't imagine anyone else walking down the aisle before her.
Groomsman
Chandler moved in across the street from Zach right around the start of high school. Zach and Ryan ran into him at the neighborhood basketball court and the trio was born. Since then, he's been one of Zach's closest friends and was the recipient of Zach and Maya's first photo as a couple. Don't be surprise if he brings potatoes to the wedding, Chandler provides the potatoes.
Ring Bearer
Maya's Nana has been so active in her life - going to her games, teaching her how to make tamales and Mexican hot dogs, hosting pool parties for the grandkids, and of course going to the dollar movies with candy hidden in pockets and purses. When Nana makes her way down the aisle, be sure to notice the handmade pillow that she'll be showing the rings off on.
Flower Girl
Maya and Zach have known Addi and Gigi their whole lives. These two girlies will be dropping pedals to make way for the bride!
