Matron of Honor
Anita and I met the week of a hurricane 2017 when I got transferred to her store at the time. Mitchell had already previously worked at this store so we did know of each other but wouldn’t consider us “close” or even friends. Little did we both know the significance of that hurricane and what a whirlwind we have been through in the past 5 years. I am humbled to have been apart of many firsts for Anita from her wedding, to her amazing husband, and to getting to celebrate her first child. Now, I can't imagine my special day without her standing by my side not as a friend but as a sister as we continue to grow our relationship and be there for many more firsts to come! I love you and your family you have created and allowed me to become apart of!
Best Woman
Erin… mother, friend, sister, life of the party, and the one who kicks you in the butt when you need it. Erin is many things but most of all an unapologetic soul who lives life to the fullest and brings so much joy and laughter to everyone she meets! I couldn’t imagine going through this journey and special day without her! She is the mom of the group and the most fun and liveliest as well. She reminds me that life should be full of many moments of laughter and love not just one. Thank you for being apart of our special day I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Maid of Honor
10 years… T-E-N years I have known this amazing woman! Amber has been there for every milestone in my life… the good, the great, the bad, and the ugly. It’s safe to say we have both seen each other at our worse and even more inspiring at our best. I would never consider Amber to be just a friend because she is so much more than that, we are family and I have felt as much a part of her entire family as if I was born into it. We have been friends for a long time but you don’t make it ten years by always agreeing with each other. You make it ten years by inspiring, listening, coaching, laughing, loving, and most importantly supporting. I couldn’t make it through to this day without her and her family! Heck I would have never met Mitchell to begin with if it wasn’t for her!
Bridesmaid
Where to begin… Jessica came into my life like a firecracker. She entered in as such a warm, fun filled, and charismatic soul and helped to open me up to a world I didn’t even know existed. Jessica has opened my eyes to what I want out of life, how I should be treated, and how you can be a BOSS babe while still living life to the fullest. If there’s anyone in life that has inspired me to be a great mother, a confident and strong willed woman, and to go after my dreams to shoot for the stars it’s her. Who wouldn’t want that energy around them? Jessica thank you for loving me as I am, always… and for holding me up when I’m down! You are why life is worth having the right friends to always support you, I sure am one lucky woman to have you stand beside me!
Bridesmaid
Ashley is so much more than a bridesmaid, she is my sister! Our life has taken us both down so many paths and some of those away from each other. Yet, we have always found each other again. Sisters don’t always agree on life but one thing we both can agree on is that we love each other. She’s one of my biggest supporters and always shows me in her own way that others wouldn’t understand. She has given me an experience to feel and understand on a small scale what it’s like to be a mom. I wouldn’t want to share this day without her and i hope that one day I can be there for her and her Husband as well! Thank you for choosing to be my sister and for always listening when I think you’re not. I love you!
Bridesmaid
Dani is my cousin from my moms side. Dani and I since we were little girls asked each other to one day be a bridesmaid in each other’s wedding. I was unfortunately unable to attend her wedding but am blessed to have her be such a huge part of mine. Dani and I are two weeks apart and though we were states apart our entire life the moments I spent with her and my aunt I have cherished forever. You never realize how close you can be with someone until you are around them and you share the same passions. Dani is an amazing mother, wife, daughter, and cousin! I love watching her family grow and be able to see what a strong, independent, stubborn, goal driven, and loving woman she has become. I couldn’t imagine what it would be like not getting to share this moment together!
Father of the Bride
Meet my dad… My father.. my padre. Every little girls dream is to have their dad walk them down the aisle towards the man they love and I am so lucky to be able to do that with this man. Many don’t know our story and few can understand the bond that we share but I just want you to know that my day wouldn’t not feel or be complete without you by my side. You have never judged me, distrusted me, or not supported me throughout the past few years. Your devotion to always wanting to improve, always being there for the ones you love, never giving up even when the world is crushing down on you has inspired me to keep pushing in love. To fight for what I want and I deserve. Mitchell and I are so lucky to have you on our team and I love you to the moon and back! Always your little girl!
Mother of the Bride
My MOM! The super woman in my life, the pillar of devotion, and the one I learned how to be a lady, how to work hard, and how to persevere against all odds! She may not be much to you but she is a huge part of who I am. She taught me how to love passionately, how to stand up for yourself, how to make it through life when all you have is yourself to push you forward. From being a single parent working three jobs to now having an amazing husband I have learned so much. Most of all I have learned to put myself and my family first! My mom has held down supporting us kids for so long and it’s a breath of fresh air to see her flourishing and happy. She’s taught me so much and I can only hope that I have found a love like she has and couldn’t imagine the day without her!I love you beyond measure!
Brother of the Bride
To my BIG little brother… you were my best friend for so much of our childhood! You are the one I spent day in and day out with from playing outside all summer to reading you a book before bed. You have grown into such a fine young man and I couldn’t be more proud of you. You are a young Ampa and I couldn’t imagine going through this day without you! I haven’t been there as much as I should be these last few years but I want you to know how much I love you and how proud I am of everything you have accomplished! I can’t wait to share this moment with you and to one day be able to do the same for you! No one can ever take the bond we have away from each other.
Officiant
Not only is he our officiant but David is Mitchell’s dad! Such a loving and caring man that has accepted me as one of his own from day one! We are so excited to get to not only have him be apart of our big day but to have his blessing and being the one to officially make us Mr. and Mrs. Krafft. He is the pillar of the Krafft group and is a constant reminder of the love, devotion, and togetherness that this family shares. He has shown us how to be patient and kind and how to make a marriage last through all of the ups and downs.
Mother of the Groom
Mitchell’s Mom! My mom! OUR mom! Lonnie is a blessing to not only her family but to ours we are creating. I have been so blessed to call myself a daughter of yours and you have done everything to make me feel apart of your family. I have always wanted a huge family and to have a place to call home and with you I always have that! Mitchell and I love you to the ends of this earth and are beyond thrilled to share this day with you! We love you Mom and can’t wait to continue to share our blessings and growth with you!
Best Man
Scotty and Mitchell go back almost as far as Mitchell and I. They first met at Winn-Dixie as well and some could argue if Mitchell’s in a relationship with me or with Scotty! 😅 little does Scotty know I love Mitchell more and always will! I only kid…. Scotty you may be the “baby” of the group always but you quickly went from being like an annoying friend of Mitchells to a little brother. (Who am I kidding still slightly annoying ;P lol) all jokes aside I am so proud of the young man you have become and I couldn’t ask for a better support system and friend for Mitchell. I see why he chose YOU to be his best man! Where you lack in decision making at times you more than make up for in how hard you LOVE, listen, and support those you love. Thank you for always supporting Mitchell and US!
Groomsman
One of Mitchell’s many brothers… arguably one of my favorites (shhh don’t tell him)! Paul has become not only a brother, but a friend, a roommate, and someone I can trust with my life. Paul is one of the most honest, best listeners, and truly most loving person Mitchell and I both have in our lives. Paul loves hard and forgives everyone and we can all learn a thing or two from his patience and his gift to listening to Gods word! Without Paul I truly don’t think Mitchell and I would be as strong of a couple as we are today. Paul I can speak for both of us when I say I can’t imagine a better man to stand up for us, next to Mitchell, or to support this union. We love you so much and can’t wait to celebrate our big day with you!
Groomsman
Spencer is a mutual friend of both mine and Mitchell’s. He’s been a huge part of both of our lives. Spencer started out as a colleague of Mitchell’s and quickly became a friend. I met Spencer through many late nights shooting pool to the several occasions I would bring lunch for him and Mitchell at work. Once Mitchell was transferred to a new store I then got promoted to you guessed it Spencer’s store. Spencer is an intelligent, loving, and supportive friend. All though never on time.. lol he is witty and so funny and truly can make anyones bad day turn around! Spencer has been one of our biggest supporters from day one and we couldn’t imagine having anyone else stand beside Mitchell to support him and us than Spencer! We love you Spencer and hope to one day be apart of your big day!
Groomsman
Jake and Mitchell have been best friends since high school. When not causing mischief around Middleburg, they could be found running the roads and having each other’s backs like brothers. What do you expect when they live across the stream from each other? Without their friendship Mitchell and I would have never met! Thanks for that Jakey! All though we aren’t always together like we used to be the two have remained close friends and Mitchell always enjoys hanging out with Jake at the pool hall whenever they have time! Jake you helped bring together Mitchell and I to make this day possible and there’s not enough thank you’s and we love you’s in the world to show you our appreciation! See you soon!
Groomsman
Jermey, Jeremy, Jeremy!!! The PB to Erin’s J… the better half to one of the best half’s! Jeremy you are truly the most loving person of us ALL! You were volun-told to be apart of this wedding and our day but I know just as much as the next person that you want to be apart of this day and you are as much apart if not more than some! I wish I knew you forever ago so I could have been there for the day you and Erin became one but I know we will all always be in each other’s lives. We love you and your quirky, fun spirited, dancing, and understandingly selfless self! We cannot wait to share this day with you and your wife and I can’t wait for Mitchell to see how great of an addition to the Groomsmen pack you will be!
