LINDSAY & THOMAS
Wedding Party
Carly
Maid of Honor
"We know you're sisters, but are you twins?" We in fact are not sisters or twins, but we have been besties since day one. From getting scolded by middle school teachers for giggling during class, to playing sports and basically living at each other's houses in high school, to actually living together during college, there's not a single part of my life where Carly hasn't been right by my side. So when it came time to choose a maid of honor, there was no question at all who it would be. There's no one I'd rather have by my side on my wedding day than my unofficial sister!
Michael
Best Man
I've known Michael his entire life. We've grown up together, played the same sports, acted in the same shows, sang in the same groups, went to the same schools, and have lived together both in childhood and adulthood. He has been there for every big moment in my life, and I've been there for every big moment of his. He's my best friend and I'm so so proud to call him my Best Man.
Emily
Bridesmaid
Without Emily, Thomas and I would have never been together. Though we've been best friends since grade school, our countless weekend escapades in Caro undoubtedly lead us be at that fateful high school bonfire where I first crossed paths with Thomas.
Tim
Groomsman
The youngest brother of the Vacanti trio, I have ALSO known Tim literally his entire life. He has both followed in Michael and my footsteps while also becoming his own man. I have watched him grow into the amazing, passionate man he has become and I'm honored to have him standing with me on my wedding day. As a Caro High School 2021 graduate, I can't wait to see what Tim does next!
Eliza
Bridesmaid
Eliza is one of the many amazing friendships that curated through working at the Dreamer Coffee Shop in college. We both love travelling the world and I can't wait until we can continue exploring! She's one of the only people that I know I can truly tell anything to. Her personality is inspiring and her laugh is contagious!
Grant
Groomsman
Grant is my future brother-in-law, aka Linday's younger brother. Like his sister he is hilarious and kind. However, unlike Lindsay, I can enjoy a good whiskey, smoke a cigar and play video games with him. I can't wait for him to officially be my brother!
Taylor
Bridesmaid
Taylor and I met in college, where we were both baristas at the Dreamer Coffee Shop. We bonded over copious amounts of caffeine, talking about tattoos and going to concerts together after work. I don't think I have a single memory with Taylor that doesn't involve my cheeks hurting from hysterically laughing at something ridiculous.
Dillon
Groomsman
Dillon is my cousin, but he may as well be a younger brother. Through the years, I have watched him turn his passions into his life’s work, and I have never met an individual more creative. He has been a part of every big event of my life so far, and I am so happy he is standing by my side on my wedding day.
Michaela
Bridesmaid
Michaela and I met in high school when we dated brothers at the same time. In a crazy twist of fate, we ended up being roommates when I moved to Grand Rapids and she's been one of my best friends ever since. She's an amazing photographer, and I was overwhelmed with excitement when she popped out of the bushes snapping pictures with her camera seconds after Thomas proposed!
Justin
Groomsman
Justin and I are cousins, and like Dillon, Justin may as well be an older brother. He has been the formative influence on my adult life: from helping me settle in to college life, to teaching me how to be a good man. I wouldn’t be where I am today without him, and am so happy he said “yes” to being my groomsman.
Mackenzie
Officiant
We couldn't agree on which side of the aisle Kenz should stand on, so naturally the best choice was to put him smack dab in the middle, as our officiant. He's been there for both of us for our entire relationship, so it couldn't be more perfect that he's the one to help us tie the knot!
