Amanda SmithAmanda Smith
Maid of Honor
Amanda has been my ride or die since before I can remember. Her family moved to my neighborhood when I was 5, and given neither of us had a sister, we became each other's. We grew up as neighbors, became roommates at Purdue, and even built houses next door to each other in 2023. My ride or die, unpaid life coach, sister from another mister. There's no me without Amanda.
Derek OzolinsDerek Ozolins
Best Man
Derek and I have been tied at the hip as long as I can remember.........literally, I think we have baby pictures in the tub. Nothings really ever changed and this is more of a brotherhood rather than just a friendship. Nobody I would rather have standing by me for the big day.
Gabby CrouseGabby Crouse
Bridesmaid
I'm grateful to Speed Athletics for a lot of reasons, but mostly because it brought me Gabby. Back in 2011, I had no idea that the base in my stunt group would turn into my lifelong friend. My cheer bestie, prom date , and partner in crime. It's hard to believe we even made it this far in life in one piece, let alone ending up with men who would be great friends too. I'm so blessed she has been there through every life phase, big and small.
Lukas SipeLukas Sipe
Groomsman
"The Perfect One", the one that always made all of us look bad growing up, because he is the Gold Standard of humans. We've been best friends for as long as I can remember. Much of our friendship started on the baseball diamond as kids and our shared love (and pain) of being a Chicago Cubs fan. I can’t wait to be ballpark dads together someday.
Lily JacksonLily Jackson
Bridesmaid
All it took was for Gabby to bring Lily around one time, and we were instantly friends. Lily is one of the funniest people you will ever meet, like I actually can't stop laughing when I'm around her. From highschool shenanigans to Purdue bars and somehow always ending up with each other on New Years... my life is so much more joyful because Lily is in it.
Conley HooverConley Hoover
Groomsman
"Buck" as he is saved in my phone, is what I would describe as my adventure partner growing up. If we are together, there's a good chance we are rolling on the floor laughing together, or everyone else is laughing at us. From trying to water-ski like Alan Jackson to hitting each other with tortillas...... I always look forward to the opportunities we get to spend together and can’t wait to make many more memories.
Lauren HardcastleLauren Hardcastle
Bridesmaid
It's a funny thing to have been friends with someone for so long that you don't remember how you met. At some point Freshman year of Highschool, it just... happened. Somehow time flew - all those sleepovers, house parties, and lots of late nights in her parents' pool (oof) have turned into girl dinners, breweries, and building families alongside each other. I'm so grateful to have Lauren in my life and can't wait to get to tell our kids all the crazy stories someday.
Nate SlackNate Slack
Groomsman
Pretty crazy to think I didn't even know Nate before Kristianna, because he feels like one of my best friends now. The "Relationship Friend" is a real thing and I'm lucky that I've been able to meet Nate and Gabby. I knew we were gonna be friends when we talked for hours about IUBB the first time we really talked. We always have a good time together. I look forward to our conversations about history and everything else under the sun for a long long time.
Shelby BellShelby Bell
Bridesmaid
Shelby holds a special place in Zac and I 's story, given she is the reason we met (see screenshots in our gallery). From Highschool prom, to horses, gym sessions, late nights, and double dates. Shelby is truly one of the most thoughtful, creative, talented people you will ever meet. The older we get, the more special our friendship has become. It's extra special to me that Shelby will be styling my hair on my big day ( I wouldn't trust anyone else!).
Chris RodgersChris Rodgers
Groomsman
Im not sure I spent more time with anyone other than Chris in the teenage years of my life. I wish I could know the hours we spent playing Call of Duty at the foot of his bed, or shooting hoops in the driveway. He has always been someone I've looked up to.......quite literally. I'm lucky to have him as a brother in christ and hope our lives keep crossing for the rest of my life.
Megan ReamsMegan Reams
Bridesmaid
I'll never forget the day that Ryan told me about "hot neighbor Meg" and insisted he was going to marry her... to say I'm glad he was right is an understatement. I couldn't imagine a more perfect person to take the Reams title. The day Meg and I met was one of my favorite memories together (IYKYK… see pic). From concerts and late nights at the bars, to holidays and wine nights, I can't believe our babies get to be cousins someday!
Ryan ReamsRyan Reams
Groomsman
The first time I met Ryan was at his house right after the Indy 500, and I had no idea what to expect....five minutes later, we were shotgunning drinks and throwing people in pools. Not knowing if that was a good decision or not, it became apparent very quickly and laid the groundwork of a brotherly relationship.
Shanna GlasfordShanna Glasford
Bridesmaid
Long before I met Zac, I made a list of all the things I hoped my future husband would have. One of the top things on the list was a sister who would become my own. Little did I know life would bring me Shanna... the most kind, compassionate, Jesus loving person I've ever met. The way she moves through life making a difference for others inspires me every day. Even though she cheers for IU any time the opportunity arises, she'll always be my fellow Boilermaker.
Nicholas ReamsNicholas Reams
Groomsman
Ironically, the first time I met Nicholas, he opened the door for me wearing only boxers....pretty weird start, but it's been a lot of fun getting to know and become friends with one of the smartest people I know. I will always admire how much he loves dinosaurs, and couldn't be happier to call him my future brother.
Sam ReelSam Reel
Flower Boy
The Real Sam Reel. For someone that moved here as a freshmen in high school and nobody knew him, I'm not sure I've met someone thats easier to be friends with. If Sam is around, you're probably doing something fun and having a great time. I love every second that we get with Sam. I look forward to many more 500's together.
Bo O'laughlinBo O'laughlin
Flower Boy
I met Bo in fourth grade and he's been a big part of all our lives ever sense. He is one of the goofiest guys I've ever met, and honestly, I cannot wait to see the scariest looking guy I know throwing out flowers at our wedding. I love watching him be a father and I look forward to our kids growing up together.
