It only feels right to have our little girl as the maid of honor! Say hello to the sweetest and bravest kid we know, the greatest gift Ashley could have ever wished for. Charlotte has transformed every aspect of Ashley's identity and forever changed Will's life. She inspires us to be the best version of ourselves and to create a space where she can be her authentic self. Soon, our little family will become official!

Ashley’s built-in best friend from birth, and the best big sister a girl could ask for! Not just a sister, but someone who truly complements and supports her in every way. They even had their own language growing up, where they didn’t need words to understand each other. The Yin to her Yang, and the one person who truly understands Ashley at her core.

Younger brother to our groom, there was never a doubt that Brad would be the best man. For the past 30 years, Brad has stood by Will through thick and thin, and there’s no one Will would rather have by his side on the biggest day of his life. P.S. Brad was the one who fell into the lamp when they were kids, despite his insistence that he was pushed!

Our Parmesan cheese boy! Our brother-in-law adopted by marriage... Jeff is the most amazing brother-in-law Ashley could have asked for her sister to marry. His "gentle" (persistent) pushes to listen to "Everything You Want" by Vertical Horizon may arguably be the reason we are here today! Jeff’s unwavering support and quirky sense of humor have truly made him an irreplaceable part of our family. We couldn’t have asked for a better brother-in-law!

Ashley’s big brother, who entertained his little sisters with his hilarious characters like "Monkey Boy" and "Christina." Chris has been a major influence on Ashley’s taste in music, teaching her that sometimes, a little metal is the perfect way to express your feelings. As for Will, he and Chris instantly bonded over their shared love of sports. Though the family might be divided between Will’s love for the Packers and Chris’s devotion to Da Bears, they always find common ground in their mutual agreement on just how bad the White Sox suck.

Meghan had the fortunate experience of meeting 10-year-old Ashley. From Barbies to babies, Meghan has been a witness to so many of Ashley's life events. Ashley likes to remind Meghan just how much she is loved, even if Meghan sometimes feels awkward receiving a hug. Over time, she has learned to be a "Homa Hamster" and truly feels like a sister. Meghan’s unwavering support and presence have been a constant source of comfort and joy in Ashley’s life, solidifying a bond that feels like true sisterhood.

Will met Zach at work many years ago, and Zach quickly became more than just a colleague – he was his work husband. Their bond was so strong that they had to be separated to maintain productivity! Despite the physical distance and the passing of time, their friendship remains as close as ever, making it feel like they’ve never spent a moment apart.

Part of the trio, Sam and Ashley met in high school through their shared talent for cheerleading. Sam is Ashley's memory keeper, always reminding her of the silly things they used to do and care about. With her creative talent and big heart, Sam has always been an essential part of the group. No matter what happens in life, Ashley has Sam, and Sam has Ashley. They complement each other's personalities and strengths perfectly, creating an unbreakable bond.

Will's longest friend and someone who has helped Will through many difficult points in his life. Sometimes helping through many nights at the bar and many many shots. Chris is someone that Will can confide in regardless of how long since the last time they were able to see each other.

Another part of Ashley's high school trio, united by cheerleading. They had many neighborhood connections before even meeting but ultimately bonded over cheer, sushi, boys, and the infamous "Gaddini block-party" (which still continues to today). Natalie has an amazing heart and always looks out for others and is unapologetically herself.

Niko started as an intern at the hospital that Will works at and quickly became a dear friend. Not only is he someone that will be there for you no matter what. With many Benihana visits and a lot of shrimp sacrificed, Niko is someone that can make you laugh through his impressions and constant quoting of movies; he is an absolute joy to be around.

Jola has known Ashley since high school but really got close when they became roommates in college. From no windows in our dorm to wild nights to trying to smuggle Pumpkin (Ashley's cat) into the dorm in a duffle bag...college was an experience to say the least. Jola has always been the friend who will tell you like it is and be your strength when you need it. A trusted confidant and support throughout life's challenges and most amazing moments. States won't keep them apart no matter how busy life gets.

Kevin... AKA therapist, redneck, weatherman, Eminem, golf pro, impersonator, and friend. Kevin knew Ashley first through their internship at the hospital but quickly decided Will was more fun to be around. Kevin is someone you can rely on always whether you need a laugh or a bear hug.

Rachel and Ashley met at their orientation for grad school. Ashley was terrified and in true Rachel fashion, she stayed cool and collected and talked her through. Although they hardly saw each other throughout their time in grad school they had one group therapy class during a pivotal time in Ashley's life. They had said at orientation "wouldn't it be cool to work together one day" and HERE THEY ARE! Work wives and great friends. Rachel is always there reminding Ashley she knows more then she gives herself credit for and that she CAN have a fashion sense one day. Ashley showing Rachel how beautiful her genuine self is and reminding her how amazing her gifts are. A friendship made to last.

Betsy crossed paths with Ashley through boxing. Gym buddies after that and going through one of their best yet hardest Summers ever; empowering one another through life's transitions. A classy lady who is the epitome of a boss. Always challenging herself and lifting other women up. Always willing to offer a hand she is simply the best.

Our beautiful niece and Charlotte’s “sister from another mister.” Born just four months apart, these two are inseparable and as close as sisters can be. Ellie’s artistic talents and gentle heart make her a shining star in our bridal party. We’re so lucky to have her by our side!

The life of the party and our little bundle of energy! Emma keeps everyone on their toes with her big personality and sense of fun. Don’t blink, or you might miss her whirlwind flower-petal toss—she’s bringing her A-game!

The youngest member of our crew, Rory is a bundle of sweetness. Her wide-eyed wonder and adorable charm will have everyone smiling as she steals the show with her tiny steps down the aisle.

Our dashing young gentleman, Nolan is as strong as he is charming! A little wrestler with a big heart, he’s ready to deliver the rings like the pro he is. Watch out—this guy might just wrestle your heart away!
