Allison & Dylan
Wedding Party
Karen Bolser
Mother of the Bride
"She's somebody's hero A hero to her daughter in her wedding dress She gave her wings to leave the nest It hurts to let her baby go down the aisle She walks right by Looks back into her mother's eyes And that smile lets her know She's somebody's hero" Today, tomorrow, or the next day, I cannot find a better way to describe my mom. She is my hero.
Daniel Bolser
Father of the Bride
"I bet you're up there right now makin' plans and writin' out All your favorite places that you just can't wait to take us And we'll get to spend forever talkin' 'bout whatever When I get there, promise you'll track me down And show me around I hate how much that losin' you hurts I hope you know you left your mark on this world And I swear that I'd give anything on this Earth To see your face But for now, I'll wait" This sweet, strong, hardworking man will be attending our wedding as an angel.
Samantha Bolser
Maid of Honor
I recently saw this quote that says: "You may be as different as the sun and the moon, but the same blood flows through both your hearts. You need her, as she needs you." There is not a better way to describe the relationship Samantha and I share. We are total opposites but I would be lost somewhere without her constant grounding.
Bayley Shock
Maid of Honor
Bayley and I met during our time at Ball State University. We were nearly inseparable, from our late night McDonalds runs to our monthly, (or weekly, okay maybe daily), mall stops. Funny story, we met during our sophomore year but we both have major cases of RBF so we didn't speak to each other until our junior year. Now, I couldn't imagine my life without Bayley in it. "You and I are more than friends. We're like a really small gang."
Jordan Teters
Bridesmaid
Jordan and I met through Dylan and Luke. We have gotten so close in the last year and I cannot fathom my life without her in it. Like Samantha, Jordan and I are opposites. Jordan is cool, calm, and collected and I, definitely am not. I will tell you today, tomorrow, and always that Jordan is my sister-in-law. "Thanks for being my unbiological sister"
Kayla Baute
Bridesmaid
Kayla and I are quite honestly the same person. I met Kayla through my sister's fiancé, Cameron. Kayla and I are like long lost sisters and I am so grateful for her love, support, and guidance. "Find your tribe, love them hard."
Camryn Curry
Bridesmaid
Camryn and I have talked about each other's weddings since we understood the word, marriage. Camryn is my oldest and dearest friend. We have been friends since elementary school and I am convinced that I would not have the stories, life experiences, or be the woman I am today without her. We have seen each other at our highest highs and our lowest lows. She is my unbiological sister. "And till the end you're my very best friend"
Ava Mae
Flower Girl
Ava is a unicorn loving, Little Pet Shop playing, all things horse knowing little girl. She also happens to be mine and Dylan's niece. We cannot wait to see all of the things she accomplishes during our lives. Uncle Dylan and Aunt Alli love you sweet girl! "If nieces were jewels, I would have the most beautiful gems ever."
Hunter James
Ring Bearer
Hunter is a dinosaur loving, PAW Patrol watching, and firetruck playing baby guy. He happens to be Ava's little brother and mine and Dylan's sweet nephew. He is such a firecracker and we cannot wait to see what he accomplishes during our lives. Uncle Dylan and Aunt Alli love you baby guy! "Little boys are just superheroes in disguise"
Cameron Meyers
Usher
Cameron is my brother-in-law. Helpful, personable, caring, and kind are some words I use to describe Cameron. I am honored to have him as my brother-in-law. I am always in awe after seeing how he loves and cares for my sister, Samantha. "Sisters and brothers are the truest, purest forms of love. Family and friendship, knowing when to hold you and when to challenge you, but always being a part of you."
Benjamin Bolser
Usher
My entire life I have been known as "Ben's sister" even though I am four years older. My life wouldn't be the same without his loudness, obnoxious noises, love, and trust. Ben is reliable, dependable, and caring. I would move heaven and earth for him today, tomorrow, and always. "Who needs a superhero when you have a brother?"
Gail Steele
Mother of the Groom
Gail has accepted me as her daughter-in-law long before Dylan proposed. She is such a large part of our lives and we are so grateful to her for that! "A daughter-in-law cannot be perfect by herself. A beautiful mother-in-law helps her be one."
Virgil Steele
Father of the Groom
When I think of the bond Dylan and his dad share, I can only hope that our kids will admire, lean on, and respect their dad the same way. Virgil is the type that will pester you, but only because he loves you. I hope he never stops pestering me. As his daughter-in-law, I know that I will always have someone to call when I need help. "A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assests in our society."
Greta Steele
Mother of the Groom
Greta is Dylan's step mom but she has never treated him any differently. She is there for everything we do and helps us accomplish anything we need or want. We are so grateful to have her in our lives. "Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother."
Luke Frank
Best Man
Dylan and Luke have been friends for so long, that now, they are just brothers. Luke is an amazing father, firefighter, and friend. “Be the one who does the right thing When there's no one else around Be the one that runs into the flames When the house is burning down Be the one that holds on harder When it's harder to hold on”
Wyatt Ford
Groomsman
Wyatt and Dylan have been friends since high school. He enjoys getting beat at UNO (or maybe we enjoy beating him), Angry Orchards, and working out at the gym when everyone else is asleep. Did I mention that he's single?
Tanner Russell
Honorary Groomsman
Tanner and Dylan were very good friends. Tanner passed away in a truck accident on September 17, 2017. Tanner would have been one of Dylan's groomsmen and he still is, as an angel. "So I'm gonna sit right here On the edge of this pier Then watch the sunset disappear And drink a beer Funny how the good ones go Too soon, but the good Lord knows The reasons why, I guess Sometimes the greater plan is kinda hard to understand"
Tyler Steele
Groomsman
Funny story, and it's only funny because Tyler is okay, Tyler kind of made us realize that we loved each other. Dylan was cleaning his shotgun and it accidentally went off. The majority of the buckshot went through the door frame but some of it, hit Tyler's leg. Earlier that day, Dylan and his dad were working on mowers. Fast forward to the misfire, Dylan texts me and says "I'm at the hospital" and that was it. (Along with my planning and impatient mind, I am also an over thinker, shocker). I went into full panic mode, ugly crying and everything. Mind you, we had only been dating for maybe a month, and I knew that I loved him. Once the doctors realized that Tyler was going to be fine, Dylan called and explained himself.
Brent Frank
Groomsman
Luke and Brent are brothers. Dylan and Luke are best friends, which makes Brent guilty by association. Dylan and I got our Mack from Brent and we are so happy we did!
Jake Tharp
Groomsman
Dylan and Jake met during their brief time working together. Dylan was teaching Jake to be a meat cutter at Save A Lot in Connersville.
Mack
Bridal Puppy
I will literally use any excuse to show off our big baby, Mack. I hope you appreciate dog slobbers and puppy kisses. If you don't, watch out, he will ambush you.
