Bridal Party
Stephanie
Maid of Honor
Growing up, I didn't have to look far to find a role model. I looked at my sister. She’s always been a natural leader, and as a kid, I wanted to copy her every move and be just like her. Instead of getting too annoyed, she always made sure to protect, include me and watch out for me. She was the cool and fashionable sister who let me tag along clubbing in my teens, giving me her fake ID which I thought was awesome. She is truly someone who does it all, including being the best mom to my nephews, and I have no idea how she balances it so flawlessly. She selflessly planned my entire bridal shower and made it incredibly special. Having her by my side on my wedding means the world.
Nicole
Maid of Honor
Nicole and I met as teenagers at our very first job, and what started as a coworker grew into a friendship that has lasted about 20 years. She knows me so well it’s almost scary. She can read my mind before I speak, remembers my memories better than I do, and somehow always knows exactly what feel or want before I even do. We grew up together since age 16 and she has been a constant in every stage of my life. Along the way, I was lucky enough to see the world with her, traveling 5 countries, many states touring our favorite bands, and creating some of my favorite memories. Her family became mine and mine became hers. I couldn’t imagine celebrating this day without her, and I am so grateful for her friendship. Can’t wait to see what she has planned for the Bachelorette!!
Christina
Bridesmaid
It is a rare gift when family naturally doubles as a best friend, and I consider Christina to be another sister. She was my very first friend, since we were just a year old. We share some of the absolute best childhood memories together, from endless bedroom dance parties and sleepovers to summer days at the beach and community pool. Even as kids, we would stay up talking about our very 1st crushes, sharing deepest secrets and everything as we grew up. Now, we even share the same friend group, which makes having her in my everyday life more special. Looking back at where we started and seeing where we are now, I couldn’t imagine taking this next big step without my lifelong sister by my side. I look forward to hearing her make a special speech at the reception .
Jaclyn
Bridesmaid
It’s an amazing bonus when your cousin also happens to be a closest friend, and that is exactly what Jaclyn is. We are completely in sync, from sharing the exact same taste in music, sharing love of makeup, to having the same fashion sense. Some of my favorite memories with her are heading out to rock concerts together or simply meeting up for dinner to catch up. Jaclyn is just so real and genuine, and truly has a heart of gold. She is easily one of my favorite people to go to for advice because she's a great listener who always hears me out and gives the best perspective with total kindness. I am so lucky to have her in my life, and as my bridesmaid.
Gyselle
Bridesmaid
Gyselle and I have known each other since 4th grade, which means she’s one of the few who share those hilarious early school memories with me. Because we had basically the same upbringing, there’s an effortless understanding between us. She is someone I can be myself around and never feel judged. Whether it’s our fall road trips, laughing about the past or spending 3-4 hours on the phone (something only me and her can do), she has always felt like family. Our trip to Colombia with her family is one of the most special memories. Having her there to celebrate this chapter means the world.
Tania
Bridesmaid
Any job is better with a work wife, but meeting Tania I completely hit the jackpot. What started with our daily coffee breaks (which I greatly miss), soon extended beyond the office. She is one of the strongest and most honest people, with a vocabulary that always leaves me in awe. Whenever I need creative inspiration, a total research wizard to help me look into something, or a very genuine opinion from someone I trust, I am happy to have her by my side. On top of being incredibly smart and creative, she’s also a US veteran, and brings that dedication to everything she does. I am very lucky to have her in my life, and I couldn't celebrate this day without her.
