Wedding Party
Kayla Jarvis
Maid of Honor
Psychologists say that if a friendship lasts longer than seven years, it will last a lifetime. I believe that to be true. Kayla is my best friend and has been for the last eleven years. We met our sophomore year of high school in driver's ed, and we somehow both passed the class! My first night at her house we decided to go horseback riding, and like the klutz I am, I fell off the horse. Thankfully our friendship blossomed from that point on! Kayla was, and still is, my partner in crime. She's loyal and always has your back no matter what the situation is, even if that means she’s gotta throw down. Her laughter and craziness is intoxicating. There’s definitely never a dull moment with her! We've had a huge impact on each other's lives, and I’m thankful for her love and continuous support.
Spenser Simpson
Groomsman
I’ve had many friends come and go throughout my life, but my brother has been there for me since the day I was born. Even having a sibling rivalry like most siblings do, he would allow me to tag along and to hang out with him and his friends. My brother and I are almost completely different, and despite those differences, we still have a special place in our hearts for one another. He has been there for me in times of need and there to set me straight whenever I felt like I was invincible. We have both faced many similar struggles in our lives, helped each other through them, and grown together. There is no other person in the world I would rather call my brother than Spenser. Thanks mom and dad for making the switch at the hospital.
Sydney Kaercher
Bridesmaid
Friends may come and go, but sisters are forever. Growing up, our parents always told us that once we were older we would be best friends. I don't think either of us believed that for a second. Now, even though we are 400 miles apart, we are closer than ever before. I know that if I ever needed someone to confide in, Sydney would listen and try to make me feel better. We are two extremely different girls, but I love the young woman I've watched her grow up to be. Sydney is extremely artistic, a little nerdy and quirky. She also loves all kinds of Japanese cuisine and the culture surrounding it. I'm sure she would move to Japan if she could! Just don't let her height fool you, she's the younger one.
Barbara Sluss
Groomswoman
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same again. Barbara has been that person to me. Barbara and I met 13 years ago and we quickly became more than friends, we became family. We have shared many memorable moments in life and it is only suitable she is included as one of my “Groomsman”. Barbara is an amazingly sweet and caring person, talks waaay too fast for a southern girl and will do anything for anyone. She enjoys a good Kenjo Burger, an evening out with nature and night drive.
Madison McIntosh
Bridesmaid
Forever friends are a true gem, and I’ve been lucky enough to find two. Madison is my longest friend, having literally known her since I was born. We both grew up together in Ohio, always having sleepovers at each other’s house. When I moved to Tennessee we mailed a box to each other back and forth that contained a stuffed panda and a handwritten note. Even though we had cell phones and social media, we took the time to write each other letters. As we got older, conversations became fewer and farther between. Even so, we always knew, and still know, that we have each other’s backs when needed. Madison is one of the most passionate, compassionate people I’ve ever met. She has a heart of pure gold, and I'm blessed to have been part of her life to watch her grow into the woman she is today.
