Maid of Honor
Not only the best sister I could ever imagine having but she's also my Best friend. We may make each other mad and say things we don't mean but I know I will always have a listening ear with her and honest advice. I still remember how she would wake me up at 2-3am asking me to drive her to filibertos for hang over food when I was only 15 and Sneaking me out your window at 17 to take me to her friends parties lol! Thank you for always being there for me! I honestly Couldn't imagine this day without her standing by my side!
Best Man
Graydon and I go way back to 3rd grade. We met after I had switched schools for the billionth time. From then we were all roller hockey and video games. We remained strong friends through adolescents and post schooling. We played little league together, got drunk for the first time together, and played soccer in high school (when he wasn’t chasing tail lol). He’s always been there when needed through moves, family drama, having kids, etc. He’s always willing to lend a hand and an ear. We don’t talk or hang as much with growing our own families but he’s going to be the best main/co-best-man a guy could have!
Bridesmaid
This girl right here has been through the thick and thin with me. She always has been there for me regardless of what I'm going through and she is always supportive of me even when it's not my best decision. She has always been my back bone when I feel weak. When I'm having a bad day she does what she can to cheer me up! I'm so grateful for this friendship! . I couldn't be more excited for her to be in my wedding and share this special day with me. She helps me stay sane!
Groomsman
Corey and I met in 4th grade. We were immediate friends given our academic brains. We competed in all schools we were in together. Usually #1 and #2 in each class we shared. Like Graydon, we were all about roller hockey, video games, hall hockey, getting in trouble once together, etc. We both love the Pats! I’ve gone on vacation with his family a few times. I was also honored to be his best man in his first wedding and still consider him my best friend to this day. He’ll serve as co-best man with Graydon! By the way… the ball was fair!
Bridesmaid
Where to begin with this girl!! We have been through so much together since 8th grade. Experiences were definitely made with this one, mostly amazing ones, but also, some not so good decisions were made. To making a rap song to Ghetto super star, going to parties, being there for one another through hard relationships to playing basketball with each other from Junior high to College and now being mothers together- Pretty sure we have covered it all lol! We are now 28 and can still ball it up on the bball court! I am beyond blessed to have you be in my wedding!
Groomsman
CJ and I first met working together at Bank of America, the lowly opener role! We became friends after realizing we had similar interests. He brought me into some of his inner circle of friends. We play fantasy football, dove hunt, and camp together! We like to give each other a hard time but it’s all in love! He’s turned into a really good friend of the years.
Bridesmaid
From Kindergarten until now, our friendship is still strong! My longest friendship is with this girl right here! Friendship isn't the ones you see the most or have known the longest, it's the ones who you have that special bond with and know that no matter what they are always there for you! And luckily for me I have both - length and bond with this girl right here!
Groomsman
Robert is my least tenured groomsman. We work together and over the last 2 years has turned into my daily best friend. We golf, dove hunt, shoot guns, and all around talk about manly things! He’s been a solid friend and has some good advice as my elder. I enjoy his friendship very much!
Flower Girl
The one, the only, Taleah! This little beautiful girl helped me grow up and realize life isn't only about me. She has made me become such a strong woman! She is the sweetest little girl I have ever known (i'm not just saying this because she's my daughter) She is definitely loved by all! I am so happy to have her be our little flower girl. We couldn't be more excited to have our daughter be a part in our big day!
Ring Bearer
Mommy's boy on the left and can't forget daddy's boy on the right. Julian is the sweetest, funniest little boy ever! He may push our buttons quite often but he is definitely worth it! These two boys will be our one of a kind ring bearers. We couldn't be more excited to have our son and fur son be a part in our big day!
Matron of Honor
This woman is the best mother of 7 anyone could ever ask for. She has been the back bone of our family and never gave up when times got rough. There was a point in my early childhood where she was working 3 jobs at once and would still find time to help with homework, school projects, making sure our bellies were full, and still make amazing memories with us! She has the most pure heart and always has a warm, beautiful smile on her face! I am so blessed to have her in my life and for her guidance which lead me to be the woman and mother I am today. Thank you for letting me be your number 7!
Father of the Bride
This man has been here for me every step of the way. He has been a part of my family since I was in a stroller playing red light green light with my siblings at Easter! We didn't really "know" him, just knew he was some how connected to my aunts side of the family. 17 years later God brought him back in our life to love and care for my mom! He will do anything for her, his love really shines for her! I couldn't ask for a better step dad! He always has wise words to say and always encourages me to be the best and do the best I can. He plays the father role in my life and I couldn't be happier!
Mother of the Groom
Where to start with my mother… from my earliest memories she was a single mother of 3 and did everything she could to give us all and more than we’d ever need. She played Mother and Father to 3 kids all on her own. She sacrificed a lot for us. As the baby of the family I was pretty spoiled. I’ve learned almost everything I know from her and have gotten all her best qualities (and some not so much lol). She’s shown me how to love and what it means to do so.
Father of the Groom
Unfortunately I was only able to have 8 years of memories with my Dad, Bryce Estes. Luckily of those 8 years all my memories are great! At an early age he got me into the outdoors. He’s where I get my stubbornness and good looks from! I hear only good things about the man he was. I hold on to as many memories as I can and hope to be just like the memories others have of him. As for Marcus, over time he’s stepped into my life as a real father figure. I introduce him as my father to people now. He has done so much for me and would do anything for me! I’ve learned how to be a man, how to be handy around the house, and how tiling anything makes it better! I hope to end up at least half the man he is and to emulate his fatherly love to Julian and Taleah as he has to me over the last 15 years.
