Matron of Honor
My sister & bestfriend, I am so lucky to have you stand by my side on my wedding day. I have always looked to you during every path my life has led me, & you continue to lead me in Christ. I hope that our marriage is filled with all the happiness and love that your marriage has shown us.
Maid of Honor
Our dad's have always been bestfriends, which is where our friendship started - literally in diapers. From tea parties, playing dress up, & living together while we were figuring out life. I am so lucky that we grew up together, as sisters. We used to dream about the days we are living now, and I am so incredibly blessed to be Aunt Nan to your babies, and to have you stand beside me as my Maid of Honor.
Bridesmaid
I still can not believe that our friendship only started a few years ago - it feels as though we have been like sisters our whole lives. You have gotten me through some of my hardest times, and have taught me so much about myself, the world, and how to be a good person. Your family took me in as an honorary "Yohe" for years and I could not be more thankful for the blessings and light you have brought into my life!
Bridesmaid
We met at volleyball practice in 8th grade - I remember seeing you play and thinking how strong and badass you were - and that is still who you are today. I have so many memories I cherish with you, laying on the roof of your parents house looking at stars, sneaking out windows, hide and seek through your neighborhood and so many other secret childhood memories that will always be so special to us. I am so blessed to always have you in my corner, and for us always picking up right where we leave off. I can't wait to celebrate the happiest day of my life with you (and to jam out to some Nikki Minaj of course)!
Bridesmaid
Our friendship started recently, even though we went to school together and it feels like I have known you my whole life! You have showed me so much kindness, understanding, and have played such an important role in our journey and my own with my walk with God and I could never thank you enough for the love that you show me constantly. I knew I could not marry the love of my life without you standing next to me. I am forever grateful for your friendship and your soft heart towards everyone.
Bridesmaid
KT my girl, I was so lucky to stand next to you as you married the love of your life - I've gotten to watch you grow as a person and in your faith. You've been by my side for so much laughter, you have always allowed me to be myself without judgement, and always held an ear for me. Your friendship and love throughout the years have meant so much to me that I could not imagine the best day of my life without you by my side!
Bridesmaid
You have been a part of our family for so long that I can't remember a time without your witty jokes, or your infectious laughter. The love I see you have for my little brother, and watching you grow into the incredible, powerful woman you are today are just a few of the reasons why I love you so much and could not imagine you not standing by my side on my wedding day!
Flower Girl
Hara Lee, the day you were adopted and officially became OURS your name was changed, and from that day on we not only shared a middle name but also a bond like no other. It has been my favorite journey watching you grow and show spunk, smarts, goofiness, and pure powerfulness. You are our little queen and we will have the best day dressing up like princesses together on mine & Uncle Tod's wedding day!

What words can I even say about you, the person who is the reason for this whole thing. If you had not asked me to work for you at your new bar when I was only 19 years old, I would have never met the man I am about to marry and for that I will always be grateful to you. You are our bestfriend, you have offered us both solace and helped us get back on our feet more times than I can count, you have given us a family in your bar. We would not have our home if it was not for the roof you put there. My dog is quite literally your namesake. The love I have for you, and your huge tender heart is unmatched, and we are so blessed that you have always had our back as family, and as a bestfriend to both of us. We are so incredibly blessed to have you on this journey with us.
Best Man
Dan & Tod are cousins, so growing up they were basically automatic best friends since before they could walk. Many years of adventures and mischievousness, stories and memories shared that would make a grown man blush, Tod asked him to join him as his Best Man on his biggest adventure yet. Dan, we are so excited to have you celebrate with us!
Groomsman
Luke, the first person in your big, crazy, wonderful, loving family I got the pleasure of meeting. You always have put a smile on my face, made some under the breath joke that left me cracking up, and loved me as a big brother would. I'm so lucky I get to call you my brother in law, and be "Aunt Hanny" to your baby. We love you, and we love that you're standing next to us on our special day.

Ryan - when you walked into my sister's life all those years ago I never expected you to have such an important mark on not only our family, but now my family and my heart. You have been our leader in Christ, our mentor in life; you have welcomed us with open arms without judgement time and time again, you have been my biggest mental health advocate, among the countless other things you do and mean to us. We love you, we are so absolutely grateful for you, and we can't wait to celebrate with you!
Groomsman
Dak - You are one of the many reasons and people that have shown us that we are exactly where we are supposed to be. You and Tod being friends in high school and then going your separate ways, moving to different states, only to reconnect years later when we show up to small group one Thursday at my sisters house. It's so funny the way God works, the way he shows you people or moments that make you think "aha! This is a sign! I'm doing what I'm supposed to, I'm on the path that I'm meant to be on" and yours and Tods friendship blossoming again, picking up like you never stopped, bringing your wife into my life and having her friendship - those were all many "aha!" moments for Tod and I, and we are so blessed to have you both in our life.
Groomsman
John - what a light you have been to us in our life, and especially to Tod. You moved up here on a leap of faith and we are so SO grateful you did. You have been such a genuine, loving, kind friend to not only Tod, but to me as well. We love you, and we can not wait to share the happiest day of our lives with you!
Groomsman
Boo Radley - one of the kindest hearted people I know. Hearing stories of yours & Tod's childhoods, your similar testimonies, your trials and tribulations, and your walk with God have been amazing to see this past year. You are not only his bestfriend, but you are his brother and you are our family. We love you, we can't wait to see what God does in your life, and we will stand by you always as you stand by us on our wedding day.

Auggie James, you take up such a huge piece of my heart. Running up to me & throwing your arms around me, smooches, cuddles, dancing, mischievousness, curiosity, and your tender heart are just a few things that I love so much about you. You have taught me patience, how to see the world through a child's eyes, and prepared me to become a mother. We have had such a fierce bond since you were born, I still remember making you laugh for the first time. The love you and Uncle Tod have for each other & all things motorcycle and sports and watching your bond grow means that we could not get married without you!

I remember the day so clearly when Ally found out she was pregnant, we were texting about her doctor's appointment and all of the sudden she texts me to call her immediately and I already knew. I remember speeding to the doctors office to pick her up, and the drive to Custer City Tastee Freeze to get banana pepper rings and absolutely freaking out over Tyc being in her belly. The first little boy to steal my heart, the first little human to call me "Aunt Nan", my best bud. I absolutely could not have the most special day of my life without you in it!
