Matron of Honor
Melissa and I met at work after her mother was telling me she was looking for a new job so I told her mom she should come work with me. After about 8 months from that she finally came to work at the place I was working. She later moved to a different Home Health agency and shortly after I followed her. We became friends pretty quickly and they invited us to come and camp with them and others in the camping group, and we have been camping along with other things since.
Bridesmaid
Janet is my sister, so I have known her all my life. I have lived with her throughout my teenage years and beyond. When I was younger even when I wasn't living with her I was at her house more than I was mine. I would babysit for her, and she would take me everywhere I wanted to go. She has helped me through life's ups and downs and has always made sure I had what I needed. I would nor be the person I am without her.
Bridesmaid
Amber is my daughter, so of course I have known her all her life. Like all families we have has good times and bad times, and have made some unforgettable memories. I am very proud of the women she has become. She had graced me with 4 grandchildren that I love with all my heart and am so grateful for. She is a wonderful mother to them. Being a mom we definitely in the cards for her and she does a great job and makes it look easy. I couldn't have my wedding without her being a part of.
Bridesmaid
Misty is my niece. We have been very close for all of her life. I babysat her often growing up. We have been neighbors, and I have lived with her from time to time. She has had some really hard times in her life. Like all of us has made some bad decisions, but OMG this girl has picked herself up out of the dirt, dusted off, and now shines like the brightest star in the sky. She amazes me everyday at the kind, generous, hard working women she has become. I couldn't be more proud of her if she was own daughter.
Bridesmaid
Maddy is Tom's daughter. I have known her for almost 6 years. I could not have hand picked a better daughter if I tried. She is a young girl with an old soul for sure. She has the most drive and work ethic of anyone I know her age. I'm pretty sure she could take over the world if she wanted to. We both did our first cruise together and it was awesome. She is kind, driven, and beautiful, she has it all. I am so happy to be a part of her life and see her future come to her.
Bridesmaid
Lisa is a friend of mine. I have known Lisa for about 2 to 3 years. I met Lisa through Tom's friend Don. Although I haven't known Lisa very long we have made the most of that short time, we have made so many great memories together. She is loving, kind and funny. She recently moved away to be closer to her grandchildren and we all miss her terribly, but she is there making those great memories with her babies and loving it. As much as we miss her, we are also happy for her.
