My guys ----------------------------
Matron of Honor
She always took the backseat, the rollaway bed and the last pick for holiday socks. She is just so selfless. She has offered herself to me as an encourager, an accountability partner, a shoulder to cry on, and a role model. Although we had no choice but to grow up together, I believe we have a unique and irreplaceable friendship formed by choice. As her little sister I guess it's natural to want to follow in her footsteps... so here I am getting married!
Best Man
Yes he's my brother, but he's also the person who I share the most inside jokes with, the person who has seen me get in the most trouble, and the person who is always looking out for me. He speaks wisdom and his actions follow his word. A man of peace, joy and love, I have looked up to him since my youth and still do to this day. What can I say? He's the best man a man could have.
Maid of Honor
It wouldn't be a party without her... she is my favorite duet partner and stand-up comedian. We have spent countless hours doing nothing together, but that time always felt so full. I am thankful to have watched her grow up into the beautiful and independent woman she is and am grateful to have her by my side on the best day of my life. Catch her on the dance floor straining her vocal cords and busting a move.
Groomsman
Whether it was making one of our stupid iMovies or music videos, co-captaining our tennis team, or a late night conversation in the hot tub, this guy's been by my side, sharing laughs and having my back since childhood. His enthusiasm for life and contagious optimism have been an encouragement to me for more than a decade. A "must-have" groomsman for sure!
Bridesmaid
From the moment I met her I developed a friend-crush. I messaged her on instagram and the rest is history... She is and always will be my spontaneous friend, the one who pulls me out of my comfort zone and helps me find more enjoyment in the mundane. From spring break vacations to late night chats, she has always brought more energy and joy into my life. I cannot wait to call her "sister."
Groomsman
Even though he's only been in my life for a couple of years, I know I could trust him with anything. His intentionality and good heart have quickly made him one of my closest friends. Well... that and our mutual love for Catan, Mario Kart, and card games. Wouldn't want him to miss my wedding for anything, so I convinced him to wait until after June 14 to move overseas!
Bridesmaid
My childhood bestie. She stuck by me when I didn't know how to dress myself, had train tracks on my teeth, and flipped moods like a light switch. We can spend a year apart and feel like it has only been hours. When I think of her I think of playing Barbies after church, baking chocolate chip cookies, saving a seat for her on the bus, and camping trips with our dads. She is a sister from another mister.
Groomsman
We shared a floor our freshman year of college. Sophomore year we were RA's together. As upperclassmen we played about a thousand games of Euchre together, so I basically know him better than his wife does. I can't imagine the last four years without this guy's sense of humor and consistent friendship in my life. Last summer I stood in his wedding and I'm honored to have him stand in mine!
Bridesmaid
I always dreamed of the perfect college roommate, and I am so lucky to have gotten that and more. We have spent countless hours laughing until we pee, eating too much cookie dough, and complaining about things we shouldn't have agreed to doing. She has loved me unconditionally through some of my biggest life changes. She knew I had a thing for Timmy even before I did, and now she get's to pass on the title of "roomie" to him.
Groomsman
Some of my favorite memories include the countless games of lightning in his driveway, when we'd steal his mom's Lean Cuisines and watch a scary movie downstairs, or that one time I sang the same song on our 4 hour trip to Traverse City. His undying friendship showed then and it shows now. Excited to make another great memory!
