Beth's ride or die and confidant. Alisha and Beth became fast friends when working together at a local animal welfare nonprofit. Alisha's an informal advisor on, well, almost everything in Beth's life... and also knows the lore. Her speech will undoubtedly rival Nick's with endearment and shade.

Jenna, Patrick's sister-in-law, embraced Beth to the Graeve family immediately. Beth and Jenna share a special sisterhood. Jenna had to break the news to her five (at the time) year old son, Jake, that he couldn't marry Patrick's girlfriend. Beth loved watching Patrick squirm since this was before Patrick popped the question ;)

Beth knew Angela was going to be her bestie as soon as Beth saw Angela's photo on Facebook (the college version). Angela helped Beth get on the official William Jewell Facebook network (those of you who knew Beth at 18 understand how important this was!). They've celebrated many milestones together, and now Angela is returning the honor of being a bridesmaid in Beth's wedding. Here's to a lifetime of friendship to come.

Jade has been a ride or die since the college days of WJC. Some friendships are seasonal, others are lifelong. Beth and Jade have experienced the highs and lows of their twenties and thirties, and Beth is grateful to have Jade by her side.

Older brother and self described "Grinch", Nick's heart is not as small as he likes to present it as. A great father and friend, lets hope he doesn't roast Patrick too hard.

The tallest of Patrick's friends, Brian's height is equivalent to his kindness. Likely the inspiration for Roald Dahl's "The Big Friendly Giant".

David is bald. However, most people do not know this is intentional. He wants those around him to "shine" and he achieves that by polishing that beautiful head.

Man or machine? Its an endless debate but one thing is clear, Chris's primary purpose appears to be helping others, whether it is friendships, DIY projects or engineering.
