Wedding Party
Ashley
Maid of Honor
For more than twenty five years, Ash has been one of the most constant parts of my life. We’ve grown up side by side — through school days, late‑night talks, questionable fashion choices, straightening our hair with irons, long distant moves, life and loss and every other milestone in between. Anyone who knows her understands why she’s standing next to me on my special day: her loyalty is unmatched. She’s the friend who shows up every single time — sometimes before I even know I need her. She’s the one who answers my late‑night calls, remembers the little things, the friend who has celebrated every win and has weathered every storm. Her kindness, and unwavering support have been a part of so many chapters of my life, and I couldn’t imagine this day — or any day — without her by my side.
Payson
Best Man
Payson and I have been friends since second grade — the kind of childhood bond that somehow survived every awkward phase, every bad haircut, and every life change that came after. From school adventures to growing up side by side, he’s been there for every chapter, big and small. He’s the friend who knows my stories because he lived most of them with me. Loyal, steady, and always ready with a joke or a reality check, he’s been a constant presence long before either of us knew what adulthood would look like. I’m grateful for decades of friendship, for all the memories we’ve stacked up along the way, and for the fact that he’s still one of the people I trust most. I couldn’t imagine this day without him standing next to me.
Abby
Bridesmaid
Okay, so hear me out. Abby and I met at work, trauma bonding at its finest. Too many inside jokes to remember, and the kind of days that only a true friend can make better. What started as casual conversations in the office quickly became one of the most meaningful friendships in my life. Somewhere between coffee breaks, lunch dates, long chats, and cheering each other on through all the highs and lows, she became someone I can’t imagine not having by my side. She’s thoughtful, constant, and always shows up with her support, laughter, or advice I might not always want to hear. I’m so grateful that work brought us together this is a friendship I’ll treasure forever — I’m so grateful to have her standing with me on this day.
Parker
Groomsman
I met Parker years ago through a mutual friend, and what started as a simple introduction quickly turned into one of the best friendships I have. We spent plenty of time on the rugby field together — bruises, wins, losses, and all — and somewhere in the middle of all that chaos, he became one of my best friends. Parker is the kind of friend who brings energy, loyalty, and a good laugh wherever he goes. Whether we’re talking life, reminiscing about old times, or just hanging out, he’s been a steady, genuine presence I’m extremly grateful for. I’m really glad that we both knew Alex which led to a friendship I value so much, and I’m proud to have him standing with me on this day.
Meagan
Bridesmaid
Meagan and I have known each other for years, and even though life has taken us far apart, she’s remained one of the most supportive and uplifting people in my life. No matter the miles between us, she’s always been the friend who shows up — with encouragement, with laughter, and a tube of hair dye to fix whatever I got done elsewhere. Our friendship has stretched across the state, seasons, and so many life changes, yet it’s never wavered. She is a person I can call after months apart and fall right back into step with, as if no time has passed at all. I’m so grateful for the years we’ve shared and the support she’s given me from near and far. I can’t imagine not having her apart of this day.
Cody
Groomsman
Cody is my fiancé’s brother, over the years he’s become a great friend in his own right. We’ve got a lot in common — especially our love for fishing — it didn’t take long for us to realize we get along just as well outside the family circle as we do in it. He’s easygoing, fun to be around, and always up for a good time. I’m glad he’s become such an important part of my life, and I’m grateful he’s standing with me on this day.
Drew
Bridesmaid
I met Drew through my fiancé, and what started as a casual introduction quickly grew into a friendship, I’m so grateful for. Even though we’ve only known each other for a few years, she’s become one of those rare people who makes everything lighter, easier, and a little more fun. She’s supportive, genuine, and always ready with a listening ear. Whether we’re sharing stories or going on an adventure, she’s been such an uplifting presence. I’m so thankful our paths crossed the way they did, and I’m even more grateful to have her standing beside me on my special day.
Steve
Groomsman
I’ve known Steve since he was fifteen, back when we were both working at the trampoline park and trying to pretend we actually knew what we were doing. What started as a job we both just needed turned into a friendship that’s stuck. These days, most of our best conversations happen while we’re out fishing — early mornings, quiet water, and the kind of talks that only happen when you’ve known someone for years. He’s steady, easy to be around, and always down for a good time, whether we’re casting a line, camping or just catching up. I’m grateful for a friendship that’s lasted this long, and I’m glad he’s standing with me on this day.
Brady
Groomsman
I’ve known Brady for about seven years now — ever since he trained me at work and somehow managed to make the whole process way less painful than it should’ve been. What started as a work connection turned into a solid friendship, and he’s been a great guy to have in my corner ever since. Brady is always willing to help, always up for a good conversation, and he is the kind of person who makes things easier just by showing up. He’s dependable and is genuinely one of the most helpful people I know. I’m really glad our paths crossed the way they did, and I’m grateful to have him standing with me on this day.
