Wedding Party
Genevieve
Maid of Honor
Genevieve isn’t just my sister — she’s my best friend, my safe place, and the person who has been by my side through everything. She knows me better than anyone, lifts me up when I need it most, and celebrates my happiness like it’s her own. Calling her my maid of honor doesn’t even begin to cover what she means to me. Having her with me on my wedding day is so special, because she’s been part of every step that brought me here. I love you endlessly, and I’m so grateful for you.
Zane
Best Man
I’ve known Zane since we were five years old. We met at our older brothers' basketball game, and my mom told me to go hang out with the kid who had a Frodo Baggins-inspired hairstyle. Best decision she ever made! From sleepovers as kids, to skiing at Perfect North, to being college roommates, Zane has been by my side through it all. Whether we were making bad decisions or laughing at our own ridiculousness, he’s been the best partner in crime I could ask for. Zane, I’m honored to have you as my best man and even luckier to call you my best friend.
Madison
Bridesmaid
Madison came into my life when our families blended, and from the start, she felt like home. We grew up side by side, close in age and even closer in life, sharing the moments that quietly shape who you become. She’s someone I’ve laughed with, grown with, and leaned on in ways that only a sister can understand. Having her next to me on my wedding day feels incredibly meaningful, because she’s been part of my journey for as long as I can remember. Madison, I’m so thankful for you and the bond we share.
Anastazia
Bridesmaid
Watching Anastazia grow up has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Being her big sister has meant more than just sharing childhood — it’s meant loving her, guiding her, and learning from her along the way. She brings so much light into my life, and I hope she knows how deeply loved she is. Having her with me on this day feels incredibly special, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Baylee
Bridesmaid
Baylee came into my life through work, but she quickly became so much more than a coworker. She’s someone I’ve learned from, grown with, and deeply admire — both as a nurse and as a person. Her compassion and steady presence mean more to me than she knows, and having her beside me on this day feels incredibly special.
Taylor
Bridesmaid
Taylor and I first met in nursing school, but it wasn’t until we became coworkers that I truly got to know her. From the start, her kindness and genuine heart stood out in the best way. She has a way of making people feel valued and cared for, and that warmth shows in everything she does. I feel so grateful to call her my friend, and having her beside me on this day means so much to me.
Nathan
Groomsman
I’ve known Nathan since high school, but somehow it took civil engineering school for us to finally realize we should hang out. Since then, I’ve been incredibly grateful to have him by my side in college—especially while surviving a very sketchy Clifton rental that somehow never got condemned. Nathan and I even won a Die tournament together, which is still one of our proudest athletic achievements. We’ve made a lot of great memories since then, and if you ever want to talk about cryptocurrencies, Nathan is your guy… whether you asked or not.
Mason
Groomsman
I’ve known Mason since high school, but we didn’t really start hanging out until he bravely agreed to live with me in college—for four entire years, which honestly deserves some kind of award. Mason has been by my side through both the good times and the questionable decisions, including waiting six hours in freezing weather at Micro Center for a graphics card. We shared countless late-night Domino’s and Cane’s runs after the bars, usually followed by a very fast, very downhill Lime scooter ride home—where by the end of the weekend, our house somehow had about twelve scooters parked outside. I’m grateful for all the memories we’ve made and can’t wait for many more.
Barry
Groomsman
I’ve known Barry since high school, where we bonded as proud west siders surrounded by a whole lot of east siders. From the very beginning, we made plenty of reckless—but unforgettable—memories, a tradition that somehow followed us into college. If there was ever a plan to close down the bars and then head to the casino until 5 a.m., Barry was either already there or convincing everyone else it was a great idea. Now we even work at the same company, proving that despite all the chaos, we’ve managed to keep making great memories together. I’m lucky to have Barry by my side today.
Michael
Groomsman
Michael is my older brother—six years older—which means he taught me a lot growing up, mostly how to get away with stuff. From watching him jump off the balcony onto the couch while Mom was gone (and then acting completely confused about the mysterious broken spring), to me accidentally asking Mom if I could have the Natural Light hidden under his bed because I thought it was lemonade, he was always leading by example… questionably. But through it all, Michael has always been upbeat, smiling, and just an awesome person to be around. I’m lucky to not only call him my brother, but also one of my closest friends.
Drake
Groomsman
Drake is my lovely fiancée’s older brother—someone I knew I had to impress from day one. I’ll admit, I was a little intimidated at first after hearing he’s a Marine veteran, but luckily, that intimidation quickly faded because Drake is genuinely an awesome person to be around with his fun, lighthearted attitude. Despite the occasional friendly roast of Victoriana, he’s an incredible brother and has truly felt like a second brother to me. I’m grateful to have him standing by my side today.
Jake
Groomsman
Jake and I go way back to grade school, where we played club soccer and even won a tournament together. We stayed connected through high school, tackling our pre-engineering classes side by side, and eventually both ended up in civil engineering in college. College gave us plenty of great memories—including a beach day on a trip where Jake was yelled at by the lifeguard for trying to swim during a mild tropical storm. Jake has always been fearless and confident, and I’m especially grateful that he brought me to the company we work at today, where we continue to make plenty of good memories together.
Emmett
Ring Bearer
Emmett’s big personality fills every room with laughter, and becoming his aunt has already been such a joy. We’re so proud to be his aunt and uncle, and it’s easy to see how special he is. Having him as our ring bearer makes this day even more meaningful, and we can’t wait to watch all the wonderful things his future holds.
Madison
Flower Girl
Madison is our flower girl and our niece, and we feel so lucky to have her in our lives. She is kind, sweet, and so special to our family. While she has always had Jeffrey as her uncle, I’m incredibly grateful to be becoming her aunt as well. Having her be part of our wedding day means so much to us.
