Katie and Abby met their freshman year of college in 2018. By 2019, they were basically a package deal—if you saw one, the other wasn’t far behind (probably with snacks). Over the years, Katie has been Abby’s go-to person for everything: wiping tears, cracking jokes, hyping her up, and occasionally helping her avoid total chaos. She’s the kind of friend who shows up with coffee, wisdom, or memes—whatever the moment calls for. After nearly seven years of friendship and about 4,000 inside jokes, there was no doubt in Abby’s mind who her maid of honor would be. Asking Katie was a no-brainer—and yes, there were happy tears (and maybe pizza). Abby can’t wait to have Katie by her side on the big day… mostly to keep her from tripping down the aisle.

Katelyn is Abby’s oldest sister—and basically her first style icon, life coach, and unpaid therapist. Growing up, Abby wanted to do everything Katelyn did: wear what she wore, join the same clubs, and generally copy her every move (annoying little sister energy at its finest). But Katelyn never minded—at least not too much. She’s always been Abby’s biggest cheerleader, encouraging every big dream and reminding her she could do anything… even when that “anything” was a new hobby every three weeks. From sharing clothes (sometimes without asking) to sharing deep chats and belly laughs, their bond has only grown stronger over the years. Abby couldn’t be more excited—or more emotional—to have her big sister standing by her side on the best day of her life.

Makenzie is Abby’s older sister and one of her very first (and forever) friends. They didn’t just grow up as sisters—they grew up as teammates, secret-keepers, and the occasional partners-in-crime. Makenzie has always been in Abby’s corner—whether that meant showing up with advice, encouragement, or a little tough love when needed. She’s strong, loyal, fiercely protective, and the kind of sister who makes you laugh and tells you when your outfit needs changing. Abby had the honor of standing by Makenzie’s side on her wedding day, and now she’s beyond excited (and maybe a little weepy) to have Makenzie by hers. Because let’s be honest—this day wouldn’t be complete without her.

Katherine is Abby’s older sister and one of the kindest souls you’ll ever meet. Her heart for others, her grace, and her quiet strength have always been a guiding light for Abby—someone to look up to in every season of life. From childhood memories to deep talks and sisterly laughs, Katherine’s love and example have shaped so much of who Abby is today. Her ability to care deeply for others is something Abby has always admired (and, let’s be honest, tried to copy more than once). When Abby thought about who she wanted beside her for one of the biggest days of her life, Katherine was an easy “yes.” And when she said yes—it made everything feel that much more special.

Abby met Lindsey through Lindsey’s mom, who works with Abby at school—and thank goodness for that, because the connection was instant. From the very beginning, it felt less like meeting someone new and more like finding a long-lost bonus sister. Lindsey is beautiful inside and out, full of light, warmth, and just the right amount of sass. She quickly became one of Abby’s closest friends—the kind you laugh with, cry with, and absolutely bring into your bridal party without a second thought. When Abby imagined her big day, Lindsey standing by her side was a no-brainer. And if you’re wondering who to keep your eye on during the reception… just look for Abby and Lindsey tearing up the dance floor like it’s their full-time job!

Adam and Calvin have known each other and have been friends since high school. They have grown even closer after graduation. Adam has always been there for Calvin whether it is to play video games or to have a Godly conversation. Adam is apart of the group that Calvin calls “the boys”. This group of men are upstanding guys who are close and have an amazing bond. When Calvin was deciding who his best man would be there was no question that Adam was it!

Matthew and Calvin have been through it all—from childhood pranks to being there for each other in the big moments. As brothers, they’ve shared plenty of laughs, a bit of chaos, and more than enough memories to last a lifetime. Matthew’s the kind of guy who always brings the energy and knows how to keep things fun. They’re stoked to have him by our side on this special day!

Thomas and Calvin’s friendship goes way back. Thomas and Calvin met through Thomas’ brother Adam and have grown in friendship from there. Whether it’s late-night talks, gaming, or just being there for each other through life’s ups and downs, these two have been through it all. Thomas is the kind of guy who knows how to bring both laughs and wisdom to any situation. Always reliable, always up for an adventure, and always making the most of every moment, they’re incredibly lucky to have him as part of our wedding day. Here’s to many more years of friendship and good times ahead!

Calvin and Payton have been friends for years, and their bond is built on more than just good times—it’s about trust, loyalty, and plenty of unforgettable memories. Whether it’s cracking jokes, celebrating the good moments, or just having each other’s backs, Payton’s always been there. With his easygoing nature and the ability to bring a smile to anyone’s face, they’re thrilled to have him standing by our side today as part of this amazing group of friends.
