Officiant
Amber is my cousin, and shes known me since birth. We have spent a lot of time together in the nearly 25 years we have known each other. When kyle came into the picture, she accepted him like family. Asking her officiate was a big ask but she said yes and I am so excited. I honestly couldn't imagine anyone else marrying us on our special day!
Ring Bearer
While we haven't known him long, Owen is the kid that made us an aunt and uncle. What's not to love about that?! he is so sweet and so precious, and we are so glad we get to be his auntie Holly and uncle Kyle :)
Maid of Honor
Cayla and I have been friends since kintergarden. I consider her a sister because she means so much to me. Even when we got sepparated due to college, we still remained really close. We unfortunately don't get to spend as much time together due to busy lives (yay adulthood), but I know we can just pick up like no time has passed at all. We have so many hilarious memories from spending a good chunk of our lives together (blue and black sock, watching Indian in the Cupboard, playing the sims together), and I'm so happy I have her in my life!
Matron of Honor
With both of our boyfriends being apart of the same group, we naturally just came together. With how often they hung out, it was nice to have someone to talk to that wasn't a guy, and our friendship grew from that. We came to realize we had more in common than just having boyfriends (now husbands!) in the same group. Now we constantly play Dead by Daylight together, and we have talked each other down for so many panic attacks (her talking me down more so). I really appreciate her friendship and the bond that we have developed in the years we've known each other.
Bridesmaid
Rachael is my cousin, but we are only 2 years apart, and with how much our families are around each other, I consider her like a sister to me. We have grown up and done quite a lot together, and we have so much in common. I enjoy being able to spend time together when we can.
Bridesmaid
When Ava was born, I was excited because this was the first baby in the family that I was old enough to understand "holy cow, a baby!" I have loved watching her grow up, and I look at her as if she were my own little sister I was watching.
Bridesmaid
Kyle was the one to initially meet Magenta in a game of Overwatch. The first time I spoke to her was when Kyle put me on the mic when it was just the two of them in a Playstation party. After me awkwardly stumbling through a friendship (as per usual) we became really close. She is also part of the Dead by Daylight crew with Rose and Darius. I can safely say, she is one of my best friends!
Bridesmaid
Tori and I met by chance back when Kyle and I started dating. She is Colby's sister, but with how much they consider Kyle a part of their family, she has become my soul sister (as we say). She is so sweet, and regardless of the fact that Kyle and I aren't blood, she has accepted us with open arms.
Bridesman
Darius is the man himself that helped Kyle and I get together. Over the years our relationship has grown and he's one of our best friends. Like Rose and Magenta, he's part of the Dead by Daylight crew, and he's one of the few that still plays Overwatch with me. Not to mention all the times we've had deep conversations. Whenever him and Vidal come visit us in St. Louis, we always have a good time, not matter what the 4 of us do. I really do enjoy having Darius as a friend.
Best Man
I met Chris at the Christmas parade. Going to school together naturally made our friendship grow. We started spending more and more time together as we knew each other. We also started talking more and more on Playstation. We really enjoyed playing strange survival games together. Once Chris started working at the mall, we started spending even more time together. He would come over, and we would play Smash Brothers. I love all the shenanigans and McDonalds trips I've taken with Chris.
Best Man
I met Vidal through some of my other friends, and when I did, I had no idea how close of a friend he would become. He has been through so much with me, given me and Holly so many rides when we couldn't/didn't want to drive, and was even there for us when our cat, Winston, passed away. Vidal is a really great friend, and I couldn't ask for more from him.
Best Man
Colby and I met at the Christmas parade one year. I approached him and said "come on beard man, let's go get some hot chocolate". Our friendship was a slow burn but eventually Colby became one of my best friends after a walk to McDonalds. Whenever we spend time together, we always have a lot of fun. From taking ranch shots at Buffalo Wild Wings, to shooting off fireworks in Feburary, I can always expect to have a good time with Colby. #kyleandcolbygotowhitecastle
Groomsman
I met Dakota in gym class because I needed a partner. We've been friends ever since. He has helped me and Holly out so much, including helping us both get jobs at one point or another. Some of my favorite memories are from parties at his house, and going to BWW after work.
Groomsman
Me and Chase have always been fairly close as brothers. From back in the day playing Smash Bros, to now playing Fortnite and Paladins. It is always a fun time when we are around each other, regardless of what we are doing.
Groomsman
While I haven't known Collin (we know him as Poots) very long, I consider him to be one of my closest friends. We met on playstation a couple years ago, and we quickly became great friends. I like getting online and playing games with him because we always have a good time. We may have only met in person once, but I still enjoy his friendship.
Groomsman
John is Holly's brother, and while we may not talk much, I feel like I can consider him my own older brother, which is nice, since I am the oldest of my siblings. We both play a lot of the same games, and have similar interests so we have really connected over that.
