Our Story

The Beginning of Us

Gianna and Cooper met at one of Gianna’s bridesmaid’s dad’s iconic summer parties, “Weldonpalooza,” swapped numbers after a few too many drinks, and quickly became inseparable through texts, FaceTimes, and trips between Chicago and Texas. After surviving long-distance like pros, Gianna moved to Texas, he proposed, and now they’re building a life full of love, laughter, and adventures.

"Gianna and I have been going strong since February of 2001! I am beyond blessed to have an older sister and best friend in one. She is someone I can always count on, and as we have grown older, our bond has become stronger and unbreakable. Our childhood memories are filled with love, laughter, bickering (sorry, dad!), and smiles because of her. Cooper, you are in for the best ride of your life with Gianna by your side, and I am excited to call you my brother-in-law very soon. See you both (through my many tears of joy) at the altar!"

“I can’t believe my oldest sister, Gianna, also one of my built in best friends is getting married!!! She has always been someone I can go to talk about everything and she always supports me! Now is my time to be her support system on her very special day to marry this lucky guy aka the Coop! I’m so beyond happy to see their relationship grow into what it has become and I can’t wait to see where it will go! Gianna and Coop are truly one of a kind couple that knows how to crack jokes! But in all seriousness I’m so glad that Gianna found someone that will forever be her other half and I’m beyond excited to celebrate them!”

“Gianna and I go way back to high school. She has been my bestie through thick and thin! We’ve shared so many laughs, late night talks, and memories that I’ll cherish forever. She’s the friend who can make anyone feel loved and always brings the fun wherever she goes. I’m so lucky to have her in my life and even luckier to be part of her big day. Cooper has been the best addition to her life and he takes amazing care of her (and all of us girls!), and you can just see how happy they make each other. I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate their forever love”

“Heellooo I am cassandra and I am honored and touched to be one of Gianna’s bridesmaids!!!! Gianna and I have been tight since high school, and it has been so special to have seen each other through so many walks of life— Carmel, Dayton, and now life as adults! I am so psyched for our lovely bride and groom!!!! They are truly a match made in heaven. We love Cooper! He is cool and fun, and Cooper and Gianna just make sense. It is so special seeing our gal find her man. Let’s get these crazy kids married! Woohoooo!!!”

"Gianna and I met at a track and field camp over ten years ago, the summer after 8th grade, and we’ve been best friends ever since!! Through every season of life, Gianna has been a constant. She is one of the most loyal, supportive, and hilarious friends I have ever known or had. I cannot imagine my life without her in it and it is the greatest honor to stand by her side as she marries her other half, Cooper, who loves her so well. I’m so excited to celebrate them and this beautiful beginning of their forever. Our younger selves would be so proud of where we are today. Cheers to the future Anderson’s!"

"Gianna and I met freshman year of high school, and she’s been one of the most loyal best friends I could ever ask for. No matter what’s going on, she’s always been there. These days, we’re sales rep road pals, spending our long drives talking about everything under the sun. We have had each others backs through all of life’s drives, and I can’t wait to stand by her side on her wedding day."

“I first met Gianna during my freshman year of high school, and I remember being ecstatic to finally have a friend who lived less than ten minutes from me! At a Catholic school, it wasn’t unusual for your closest friends to live forty-five minutes away, so having her so close felt like winning the lottery. I think back to those summers spent lying by her pool and visiting her at her very cool job at the mall. Gianna was—and continues to be—the friend you can always count on. In the blink of an eye, we went from fourteen-year-old girls splashing in her pool to drinking a little too much together during our college summers, and now here we are, young adults talking about weddings and careers. If anyone understands the long hours spent on the road, it’s Gianna. I don’t know what I’d do without my fellow road warrior and childhood friend. Gianna is one of those “forever” people. I know that throughout my entire life, she’ll be there for me, and I’ll be there for her. She gets my love for Hamilton, my stomach problems, and my anxiety. To know Gianna is truly to love her, and I’m so lucky God put her in my life. I can’t wait for many more years of laughter, memories, and friendship ahead. Cheers to Gianna and Cooper— I am so honored to be included in this next chapter of your lives. I’m so lucky the two of you found each other.”

“I’ve known Gianna since grade school, making her one of my longest and closest friends. Over the years, I’ve watched her grow into the incredible person she is today—kind, loyal, and full of life. Gianna & I share so many amazing memories & I’m so grateful to have a best friend like her. Countless laughs and stories we have and plenty more to come. Cooper and Gianna make an incredible team and I’m so excited for all that their future holds. Together, they balance each other so well & it’s clear how much love, support, & genuine friendship they share. Very excited to officially be family even though I’m already a honorary Day. Family forever ❤️”
