Taylor & Kelsey
Wedding Party
Taylor Love
Bride
As soon as I knew I was going to marry Kelsey, I knew who I wanted by my side! I am so honored that these people have agreed to be part of our wedding day, and I don't know what I would do without them!
Kelsey Martin
Bride
To chose a wedding party means to chose people who have influenced your life for the better, despite seeing you at your worst. Every single person on this roster has made me a better person, and also reeled me back into reality in my least proud moments. These people have supported me unconditionally, throughout the entirety of our relationship. I can't think of a better group of people to stand by my side on our big day!
Ashlynn Love
Matron of Honor
Ashlynn made me a big sister when I was three years old. We share a childhood full of arguments, fun memories, and the unavoidable pain of getting married after your mom has passed away. Not only has she made me an Auntie, but she's made me a better person. She taught me what it meant to be a feminist, to be confident to be myself. She's my saving grace when I just need someone to listen, but the first to call me out when I'm being stubborn.
Christopher Remer
Man of Honor
I met Chris in an engineering study group second year of college, where our friendship developed through numerous hours of Statics, Dynamics, and Mechanics of Materials homework. Our relationship evolved into roommates during the later years, securing our sweet pad so close to those engineering buildings. Countless hours of talking and laughing until our bellies hurt, where the entire experience brought us closer than ever.
Kiersten Love
Bridesmaid
Kiersten is the best baby sister anyone could ask for! There is almost 10 years (to the day!) between us, so unfortunately I have missed most of her later years since I live so far away! She is an extremely talented artist and I love her to bits.
Jordan Kennedy
Bridesmaid
This brilliant bad-ass got me through some tough classes, and college as a whole. My favorite lab partner, we would tag-team our projects where she was "the words" and I was "the pictures" for the final reports. I really couldn't have made it through all the stresses of college without this woman to calm me down and have nice cold beer. I also credit this woman to opening my eyes as to just how much of a girl I am! ;)
Daniel Greenwood
Brides Dude
Dan saved my life in more ways than one. He has gotten me through so much in my life, and was the one who encouraged me to come out of closet and be myself. There are no words to express the kindness and generosity this man has for others. I will be forever thankful that fate brought Dan into my life.
Katy Lucas
Bridesmaid
Katy Lu is one of my oldest and dearest friends, stemming from freshmen year of high school. Our relationship has known a few obstacles, but no matter what, we always seem to pick up where we left off, despite any distance. She has always been one of my biggest supporters in life, constantly praising me and motivating me to do more. When I think of Katy, I think of all the giggle-fests, camp adventures, and frisbee spurts that we have had over the years.
Mimi Guarino
Bridesmaid
Mimi is a sweet cinnamon bun full. If she was a magical creature, she would be a unicorn. I met Mimi in 2014 when I started working at Microsoft. I thought she was so cool and that I was way out of her friend league, but eventually we started talking! I am so happy that she agreed to be one of my bridesmaids!
Paul Martin
Brides Mate
I have always admired my "not-so-little" brother, who was easily my best friend throughout childhood. He would blow my mind by diving into social activities with ease, while I struggled with the internal battle of social anxiety from a young age. He showed me how to interact with people, and how to understand them as well. He continues to amaze me today, and has always been a rock that I can depend on.
Kayleigh Bizarro
Bridesmaid
Kayleigh and I met through our love of Harry Potter. And by love I mean obsession. I never imagined plotting out Harry Potter threads would lead to finding such an amazing best friend, but it did! We even having best friend Harry Potter tattoos! Kayleigh is a bubbly ray of sunshine!
Olivia Martin
Bridesmaid
Despite being 13 years apart, Olivia and I have always had a special bond. When I was a toddler, we were inseparable, and many even thought I was her baby. I can still remember all the Beatles' names that she taught me from the pictures in her bedroom when I was 3! She has always been one of my biggest supporters and cheerleaders, as well as my personal giggle-starter. We have laughed and laughed so many times that I can't count them all. It has been a wonderful experience getting to see her become a mother, and recognizing some life lessons that she teaches her girls that she has taught me.
Lexi Madison
Bridesmaid
Lexi is the Sirius Black to my Remus Lupin! Another friend I made through my nerdy love of Harry Potter, Lexi is our favorite Canadian besides Justin Trudeau! Lexi travels the world and makes the rest of us jealous, but she always comes to visit her Americans!
Valerie Meier
Bridesmaid
Val and I share a unique connection, one that was dramatically strengthened when I spent 3 months abroad in Brunei living with her and her husband, Joe, after I graduated college. We spent all day, every day together, and didn't fight a single time (I know, kind of a crazy statistical anomaly with sisters). We grew extremely close and both forever changed. We experienced new cultures and histories together, establishing memories that I cherish every day.
Sam Toso
Bridesmaid
Sam is the glue that holds friendships together. The mother hen of our Harry Potter squad, she makes sure we all take care of ourselves. Not only is she an amazing science teacher, she's also always there if you need someone to just listen. Bonus points: She's the only one of our Marauders group that isn't allergic to my cats!
Laura Buus
Bridesmaid
Most of my memories with Laura involve laughing, in some shape or form. She has an ability to brighten any room, and often leave me rolling with giggles. Even though I hated going through high school having people expecting me to be super awesome at sports (when I was more of a "Most Inspirational" award winner), she still paved the way for me as a sister and has taught me so much about growing up in general.
