Maid of Honor
If you had told us in 2004 that a random Spanish class project would lead to a lifelong friendship, we probably wouldn’t have believed you. But that’s exactly how it started. I was the loud, chatty one. Jenny was quiet, observant, and not the type to jump into conversations. So when she leaned over during class one day and said, “I think we’re partners,” that tiny moment ended up changing both our lives. We worked on that Spanish project together (and totally faked confidence in our pronunciation), and somehow, between the awkward verb conjugations and poster boards, we clicked. We didn’t start hanging out outside of school right away—it wasn’t until 2006 that we really became inseparable—but that classroom was where the foundation started. Since then, Jenny has been my rock, my safe space, and my person through every stage of life. Even though we took different paths after high school—she went to college, I didn’t—our friendship only grew stronger. Having her stand beside me as my Maid of Honor feels like the most natural thing in the world. She’s seen me at my best, my worst, and every weird phase in between. I can’t imagine saying “I do” without her by my side, just like she’s been all along. ♥️
Matron of Honor
Kristin & Amanda have been the best of friends since the 2nd Grade, first meeting at A.L. Burruss Elementary School in Marietta, Ga. A friendship that began on the playground at school eventually flourished into something even bigger & unexpected, marrying into the same family, becoming cousins by marriage. We'd eventually have babies of our own & have the wonderful opportunity to raise & watch them grow up together, being the best of friends & cousins. Having Kristin by my side when I go to say 'I Do' goes to show that you can have more than one best friend when you have such a big heart that is overflowing with so much love to give & spread it evenly, watching it continue to grow for years to come. I wouldn't have it any other way on such a special day. Getting to share this moment with her means so much to me than words can ever express & I know deep down in my heart that the love that Kristin & Jenny has for me, it's unwavering & I'm forever grateful for the both of them.
Best Man
Chris is Dylan's Cousin who has always been thick as thieves by Dylan's side since they were both little. If you ever see Chris & Dylan together, you'd think that they were brother's & not cousins because of the bond that they have together. Chris can light up any room & make friends with just about anyone that he runs into. With a heart of gold & kindness in his heart, he's always been there for Dylan whenever needed. It's no surprise that Chris would be asked to be the Best Man for Dylan on such a big & special day.
Flower Girl
Having Bella as our flower girl is truly one of the most meaningful parts of our wedding day. Bella is our daughter—mine and Dylan’s—and she’s been with us through every step of our journey together. After many years of love, growth, and building a life as a family, we finally decided to make it official. And having her stand beside me as I marry her dad is something I’ll treasure forever. She’s grown up surrounded by the love we share, and in many ways, she’s been the heart of it all. Now, she gets to witness this moment not just as our daughter, but as someone who’s been part of the story from the very beginning. Watching her take her place in the wedding party is more than just a proud mom moment—it’s a full-circle one. She’s not just a flower girl. She’s a living, beautiful reminder of everything we’ve already built—and everything we’re still becoming. ♥️
Mother of the Groom
From the start, Deborah made me feel like family—not someday, not eventually, but right away. She didn’t just welcome me in—she embraced me with open arms, big hugs, and that warm “mom energy” that makes everything feel okay. Over the years, we’ve celebrated some of life’s big moments together—getting my driver’s license, birthdays, holidays, and countless everyday milestones in between. She’s been there with encouragement, love, and just the right kind of “mom advice” when I needed it most. It’s not lost on me how rare and special that kind of relationship is. Deborah has always made me feel seen, included, and deeply loved—not because she had to, but because that’s just who she is. As I marry Dylan, the love of my life, it fills my heart to know I’m not just joining a family—I’m officially becoming part of one that has already made me feel at home for so long. Having Deborah by our side on this day is a reminder of how lucky I truly am—not just to have Dylan, but to have her, too.
