Hi everyone! I’m Madison, Mikayla’s little sister and Maid of Honor! Growing up I always looked up to Mikayla as a role model and a built-in best friend. Being so close in age, we have gone through everything together. From playing in the pool when we were kids, to religiously watching “School of Rock” when we were teens, and now, to watching her get married to her best friend. I cannot wait to celebrate Mikayla and my soon to be brother-in-law, Ben!

Mikayla is Becca’s oldest friend. From family camping trips, to working together at a sandwich shop in high school, to being adults in the real world, their lifelong friendship has only just begun. Becca works as a nurse in Philadelphia and loves to read, bake, and reminisce about their childhood and shared awkward stages with Mikayla. Mik is the Snugs to her Boozy and Becca cannot wait to celebrate on her wedding day.

Becca is Mik's soon-to-be sister in law and mother to the flower girls. As Ben's big sister, I've followed along his and Mik's sweet relationship form the beginning. It's been sweet to watch their love and relationship grow over the years and to be there for so many milestones along the way. I can't wait to see them take on life together as Mr. and Mrs! So honored and excited to stand up there next to them on one of the biggest days of their lives.

As one of Mikayla's bridesmaids, I couldn't be happier to be a part of her and Ben’s journey together. I grew up in Northern New Jersey but after moving to Delaware to work for Gore, mine and Mikaylas paths were bound to cross. We first met when I came in hot (literally) to Sejal’s birthday party and happened to sit down next to her. Since then, our friendship has only grown stronger, filled with duckies, swimming, volleyball games, and Italian festivals. Cheers to a lifetime of love and happiness for Mikayla and Ben! I'm Becca, and I'm honored to be part of this party!

Hi! I’m Sejal and I’m so excited to be a part of Mikayla and Ben’s special day. I remember when I found out Ben proposed to Mikayla— I was at a museum and just started crying of happiness in the middle of an exhibit. I’ve known Mikayla for a few years and we’ve gotten so close in such a short amount of time! She’s the smartest, most hardworking person I know. From all the fun and super eventful nights in philly to being in detective mode at work l, we’ve shared it all. She’s who I talk to when I just need someone to have my back or when my fuse is out! When I’m not doing my bridesmaids duties, you can find me playing pickleball or trying to find new recipes for all the peppers in my garden! See you on the dance floor <3

I met Mikayla at our internship at Gore back in summer 2018, who would’ve thought that 5 years later I’d be writing this! Thankfully, Mikayla’s a down to earth extrovert (I’m introverted) so our friendship blossomed naturally! We had so many fun memories back then (ePTFE dancing queen🤢, beach trips, Philly, booze cruise 🫣, Gormal, my 21st!). I’m from WA, moving to the east coast for an internship was sorta stressful and lonely so I was grateful to have met a friend like Mikayla. We both went back to college on opposite sides of the country, came back to Gore full time after graduation a couple years later, and were reunited at Leanne’s birthday shortly after we started working at the same plant. We’ve continued to make so many unforgettable memories, never a dull moment. She’s not only a dependable friend but teammate too (she’s a brilliant electrical engineer who always comes through!). Nowadays it’s not very common to find genuine long-lasting friendships through work. And high school sweethearts aren’t very common either! :-) Mikayla and Ben are such a fun dynamic duo; I can’t wait to celebrate with you both!

Mikayla is one of the sweetest, kindest, and true people I know. Mikayla and I have been friends for many years! With many more to come💓 She has always been by my side and I can’t wait to be by her side as she walks down the aisle!!

Mikayla and I met at work and became fast friends after my birthday celebration in March 2022. I am a horsegirl™️ and anxiety is 70% of my personality. 🤪 So naturally, Ben thought it would be a great idea to ask me to “take Mikayla to get her nails done” earlier this year. Surprisingly, I kept it together, and didn’t tell any of the other soon to be bridesmaids! I encouraged Mikayla to get bright pink nails to ✨manifest✨ getting tickets to the Taylor Swift Eras tour. All the while Mikayla was oblivious to the fact Ben would be popping the question soon 😈 That Friday we got the call from Uncle Frank that he got us tickets to see Taylor Swift at the Linc! The next morning Ben asked Mikayla to marry him. And then Sunday, Mikayla and I went to the Eras tour and lived happily ever after! 😜 Jokes aside, Ben and Mikayla I am so happy you two found each other in this crazy world. Love you, you crazy kids 😘

I am an adventurous and passionate friend of Mikayla’s who moved from New Orleans to Baltimore for my post-graduate job. There I met Mikayla, and after many lunch dates, hot girl walks, pool days, and weekend bar crawls, we became close friends. Some of my funniest and wildest nights out have been with this girl. I can’t wait to celebrate Mikayla and Ben by raising my glass and staying on the dance floor all night!

I couldn’t be more honored to be Ben’s best man. He is the brother that I never had and the most loyal, humble, caring and selfless person I’ve ever met. Ben and Mikayla are a match made in heaven and I am so happy to have a front row seat at their wedding. I love you both very much and I am so excited to celebrate with you!

Hello! I'm Stephen Buchanan and I'm Ben's older brother. They say you should never meet your heroes. Ben first met me at the hospital where he made such a bad impression that I was physically ill. However, ever since that day he has slowly improved that impresion and I am honored to have seen him grow into the man he is today. I don't think it's a stretch to say that Ben's relationship with Mikayla is a defining part of what shaped Ben into the awesome dude he is today. It is an honor to be part of one of the happiest days of their lives! Can't wait to celebrate the start of the next chapter of their awesome adventure!

Hi! I am Ben’s brother in law, and have known him for probably 20 years. I am a dad, helicopter mechanic and aspiring airplane pilot, that’s my whole personality. Ben and Mik are the perfect couple and I look forward to spending many more Disney vacations with them!

Where to begin… Mik and Ben have been together for over 10 years, Ben is a staple in our family.   When he asked for my blessing I told him absolutely.   I don’t know any couples that lasted long distance for four years when Mik was away at Penn State. Cheers to 50 more.

“Howdy! I’m Calvin Green, best friend of Mik and Ben since DAY 1. From all of our memories at AGCS, taking on the streets of UD, stomping the yard in WCU, and our big ol’ boys weekend for JM’s bachelor party I cannot picture a single moment without a smile. I am honored to know and be a part of the awesome relationship that Ben and Mikayla have with one another. We have so many more memories to create and goofy times to have. Your wedding night is just the beginning of a beautiful future together! “

Hey y’all, I’m John-Michael—also known as JM (I think Mik was the first person to consistently call me that). That was in middle school when Mikayla and I first met about 15 years ago! Just a few awkward, cringe, rawr xD years later Ben came along. Good old Big Ben, Benny B, baby Ben, my boy. Just to name a few of my nicknames for him picked up along the years. When they first met, I knew it was something special. They became inseparable, but in a way that still included our whole gang. And the growth we’ve had this past decade (!!!) is something I’ll cherish for the rest of my days. I have been blessed to get to know this beautiful couple, and am honored to call them some of my best friends, confidants, and family. I look forward to making more laughs and memories with these people…including the wedding day next year!

Collin is Ben’s eventual brother-in-law through the Pratt family. I have always loved being around Ben since the topic of conversation never seems to run out and he is always smiling, waiting to make someone laugh. Some of my best memories with Ben are when we would go to the cigar shops to play pool with Mr. Buchanan, Steve, and Mr. Pratt as well as playing aggressive water polo in Mexico. My time has never been short of an adventure with Ben. I am honored that I am a groomsman and a future brother-in-law!

I was lucky enough to have Ben as my next-door neighbor in our college freshman dorm. Although that's where we officially met, we later discovered that we used to play together as kids at various church events. I like to think of it as the destiny of a lifelong friendship. Over the years, I've had some of the best laughs and most spontaneous adventures with this man. From time to time Ben might change his clothing style, or music tastes, or maybe even his hair color, but he will always be the most true-and-true and consistent friend I could ask for. I'm thrilled for you and Mikayla. See you at the wedding!

I had the pleasure of working alongside Ben and Mikayla at a Brazilian steakhouse a few years back, and from there, our friendship has shared vacations, golf rounds, weekend trips, moving to new places, and a LOT of hours playing Mario Kart or Rocket League. Most importantly though, I’m Penny’s favorite🐾 (she told me).

Our beautiful nieces!
