Wedding Party
Salina
Maid of Honor
From the very beginning, she has been more than just my older sister—she’s been my guide, and my constant source of support. Whether it was helping me get ready for school dances, cheering me on at life’s milestones, or simply being there to listen when I needed it most, she has always been by my side. No matter where life has taken me—whether it was heading off to college, moving to a new place, or navigating new chapters—she’s never been more than a phone call away. Her unwavering love, wisdom, and ability to always know exactly what to say have been such a blessing in my life. I’m so grateful to have her standing by my side on this special day, just as she’s been there for me every step of the way. She’s not just my sister; she’s my forever friend, and I couldn’t imagine celebrating this moment without her.
Max
Best Man
He’s always ready for a good time, whether it’s hanging out at the DAC, catching a game, or simply enjoying life’s little moments. No matter what the plan is, you can always count on him to bring energy, laughter, and adventure. One of the highlights of our friendship was when he took me on my first international sailing trip. Over the years, he has been a constant presence in my life, always there for Lauren and me through the ups and downs. We’ve shared so many memories, and I’m excited for the countless more to come. I’m incredibly grateful to have him by my side as we celebrate this milestone and the journey ahead!
Ally
Maid of Honor
As my little sister and lifelong best friend, Ally and I have shared countless memories together. We were roommates from the day she was born until I left for college at 18, and in those years, we built a bond that’s as strong as it is irreplaceable. She was always by my side, even traveling with my parents across the country to watch me play softball in 10-degree weather. From playing sports together and running around outside on endless adventures to finding joy in the simplest moments, we’ve been inseparable for as long as I can remember. Ally truly knows me better than almost anyone—just as much as my fiancé, Blaine, does!
Tom
Best Man
I met Tom back in 2018 at Jimmy John’s, and our friendship grew from there. We’ve created countless fun memories together, from playing pickleball and going out for pizza to enjoying competitive rounds of pool and more. Through it all, Tom has proven to be a loyal and caring friend, always there when we needed him. Whether it was helping us settle into our new home or offering support during challenging times, his trustworthiness and genuine kindness have made him someone I can always rely on. Tom’s friendship has been a constant source of joy and support in my life, and I’m grateful for the bond we’ve built over the years.
Shaina
Bridesmaid
Shaina and I became best friends during undergrad when we played softball together, bonding in the bullpen for countless hours on end. As throwing partners, it quickly became clear that our friendship was built to last forever. Even though she lives in Canada, the distance has never stopped us from catching up about anything and everything. Shaina was one of the first friends to meet and hear all about Blaine, and I’m so grateful to have her by my side on this special day!
Shane
Groomsman
Shane is not just my older brother; he’s been my lifelong partner in adventure. From cheering on our favorite teams at Detroit sporting events to setting off on unforgettable vacations or enjoying card nights with the family. Our bond has been built on years of shared memories, and his support has never wavered. Whether it’s offering advice, cracking jokes, or just being a solid presence when I need it most. I’m incredibly honored to have him by my side on this important day, as he has been through every chapter of my life, and I know he will be there for many more to come.
Stacey
Bridesmaid
Our friendship began back in 3rd grade when we were always playing sports against each other, but it wasn’t until high school that our forever friendship truly started. From countless sleepovers to unforgettable vacations, Stacey has always been up for a new adventure and has stood by my side through every chapter of my life. I’m so lucky to have her as a part of this special day and to continue sharing life’s journey with her.
John
Groomsman
We officially met a few years ago at Jimmy John’s Field, but our paths have been closely intertwined since grade school. I had the privilege of standing by his side on his wedding day, and now I’m honored to have him stand by mine. Every moment we share is filled with laughter and great memories, and he’s always up for a good time. I’m grateful for his friendship and excited to celebrate this special day with him!
Meghan
Bridesmaid
While we first crossed paths playing college softball against each other, it wasn’t until I moved to Michigan that we became close friends, thanks to her childhood bond with my fiancé, Blaine. Meghan is always ready for an adventure, and her unwavering loyalty as a friend is something I truly admire. Every moment spent with her is filled with laughter and joy, and I’m so excited to continue growing our friendship for years to come. I’m beyond grateful to have her by my side on this special day!
Jacob
Groomsman
We’ve known each other since high school, where we first bonded playing lacrosse together. Over the years, that connection has only grown stronger, and we’ve built a friendship full of great memories and countless inside jokes that only we understand. From late-night talks to weekend adventures, he’s always been someone I could rely on, and his fun-loving personality makes every moment spent together unforgettable. He’s been there for me through thick and thin, never failing to bring laughter, support, and a sense of comfort no matter the situation. I’m truly honored to have him standing by my side!
Kelly
Bridesmaid
Kelly and I met when I moved to Michigan, and it didn’t take long for us to become great friends. From endless conversations to late-night talks, we can chat for hours about anything and everything. Kelly is one of the most fun and caring people I know, and I’m so grateful to have her in my life. She brings so much joy and warmth to every moment, and I’m thrilled to have her by my side on this special day!
Johnny
Groomsman
He was the first friend I made in high school, and it was fate from the start. We played lacrosse together and even served as captains, building a bond that has only grown stronger over the years. Always the life of the party and a great host, he’s someone I can always count on for anything. I’m grateful for his friendship and thrilled to have him by my side on this special day!
