Maid of Honor
Lydia is my younger sister, only by 15 months though. While we aren't blood related, I truly feel she was meant to be placed into my life as my sister. Growing up with her showed me what it meant to be an amazing person and the best friend a person could ever be so lucky to have. To know Lydia is to love her.
Maid of Honor
Lahna is my little sister. While not so little anymore, I had the privilege of entering her life when she was just 3 years old and I was 7. Lahna really is the funniest, sweetest, most kindhearted person you will meet. I have watched her grow into such a wonderful woman whom I am so lucky to have standing by my side.
Bridesmaid
Dawn is my future sister-in-law. She has two beautiful children, Lainie and Callie, who have promoted me to "Aunt Maddie". Dawn is a wonderful person, mother, wife, childcare taker and is an inspiration as to where I see myself in the coming years. Gaining another sister is a bonus, but gaining Dawn is a double bonus.
Bridesmaid
Mackenzie has been my best friend since high school. She has been through EVERY stage of Maddie there has been. Through the ups and downs, engagement party and baby showers, her and I have been there for each other. Experiencing watching her becoming a mother has been such a surreal thing. Now having her stand up with me while I become a wife will be an experience I'll remember forever.
Bridesmaid
Hannah has also been my best friend since high school. Her and I talk every single day; we actually have a snapchat score over 2,500 days. She is someone I can turn to when I need to vent, and I know she will be brutally honest. Hannah's hardworking and caring attitude that she puts into being a nurse is admirable. I am so fortunate to have her standing by my side, and I'll know she'll continue to be there after.
Bridesmaid
Lanie was introduced to me in high school through Mackenzie. The three of us spent every weekend together throughout high school and college, even spending a summer living in Ocean City, MD, in 2019. Lanie truly is the nicest, caring, most down-to-earth person you will meet. It is an honor to have her standing by my side. Keep an eye out on wedding day for my make up, it will be beautifully done by Lanie herself.
Bridesmaid
Morgan was actually my first friend when I moved to Bel Air. My dad would drive and drop me off at her house before I could even drive. Which eventually turned into driving myself to her house when I got my license, living together at the beach in 2017, and now still being really good friends to each other when it is needed the most. Morgan cares so much about everyone she meets, and I know she'll show up whenever is needed. I am really happy that she is able to stand by my side on my wedding day.
Bridesmaid
Johanna could very well be the reason we are all even attending this wedding. In high school, after graduation, Johanna, Morgan, Mackenzie and I all got a job working at Phillips Crab House because Johanna's uncle was the general manager. Fast forward to 2020, I would soon meet my future husband, Jake, working at Phillips Crab House. Johanna and I share another decade long friendship I have been fortunate to grow up with. She also moved to Ocean City so her and I had each other to turn to when we needed a little slice of Bel Air. She is a beautiful, caring, and dedicated friend who anyone would be lucky to have in their life.
Best Man
Justin is my older brother, by 9 years. Being 9 years apart never put separation between the two of us. Between him and my dad, they taught me everything I need to know about hunting and sports. He has one of the biggest hearts there is and is someone who will drop everything to be there if you need him. He is the best brother I could have asked for.
Groomsman
Kirk is my brother-in-law. He married my sister, Dawn, in 2010. Growing up, I do not remember a point in time when Kirk wasn’t around. He’s been apart of my life since I was really little and has become another brother to me. He’s hardworking and a great dad to my nieces.
Groomsman
Wyatt has been my bestest of best friends since about 6 years old playing little league baseball. We grew up a mile away from each other and started becoming close when we started to duck hunt together. He is the only one I would drink warm natty lights out of the back of his truck with. He’s the life of the party, the funniest one in the room and a great dad to Ryder.
Groomsman
Joey is also one of my best friend who was introduced to me in high school. Joey has the same passion to duck hunting as Wyatt and I do therefore the three of us became super close. Despite Joey and I being busier in our adult lives, our close friendship always remains the same.
Groomsman
Pat was introduced me later in life, after high school. Him and I are basically the same person who share the same interests and hobbies therefore it’s impossible not to get along. Between hunting and golf, him and I never run out of things to do or talk about. He’s one of the nicest people I know, always has a smile on his face, and will do anything for you and the people around you.
Groomsman
Ryan was my college roommate and quickly became one of my best friends. He is one of the nicest people I know and will also do anything for you. Him and his family took me under their wing during college and has become a second family. Ryan plays professional baseball in the MLB and possibly may not be able to attend due to his baseball schedule. Ryan is a great athlete and is the only person who can beat me in ping pong.
Groomsman
Hunter and I met playing baseball growing up. We became close later in life also due to the bond of hunting. He is always down to have a good time and is the life of the party. Between hunting and fishing, he is my go to and will always be there to lend a helping hand.
Groomsman
Jacob and I became friends because my mom and his mom were best friends growing up. Jacob’s mom was actually apart of my mom’s wedding and now Jacob is apart of mine. Like my other friends, Jacob loves to hunt as well leading to a lot of good hunts and great memories. He is fun to be around and him, Hunter and I became a trio.
