My names Sarah, I’m the maid of honor. Hannah and I are sisters so we met at home

Hi, I’m Jenna, and I’m essentially the 4th Schmitz sibling. I have grown up with Hannah my entire life, and there has never been a big life moment for me that Hannah has missed: graduations, birthdays, my own baby shower, etc. She is the most beautiful person inside and out, and she is going to be the most beautiful bride. She is the closest thing I have to a big sister, and I am so honored to be able to stand next to her as she gets married to her best friend!

Hannah and I met in high school and became close through being on the swim team and lifeguarding together. After graduation, college and life took us separate ways to Missouri and Wisconsin, but every time we are together it is as if nothing has changed. Hannah is my forever friend, sister and of course “cuda” for life!

Although we look fabulous in this pic, I met Hannah in 7th grade Honors English class when we were just weird little middle schoolers. Thrown together for a school project, Hannah instantly became one of my closest friends through those awkward years (#bandcore). We grew even closer as we both discovered our love for the health field with magic school bus episodes during Mrs. Hoch’s class and HOSA competitions. Not only is Hannah the best nurse on earth, she is one of the kindest, funniest, and smartest people I know. She’s my life-long sister and I couldn’t imagine living this life without her! Love you 💜

Hannah and I became best friends in fourth grade after we instantly bonded over playing dress up. Needless to say, we’ve been playing make believe together ever since. From acting like aristocrats and forcing our siblings into servitude, playing princesses in swing set castles, and being better dressed than the original Spice Girls, to looking like royalty in our prom dresses, Hannah and I have been together for every one of life’s fairytales. Hannah, I would be honored to play dress up with you one last time, as you put on that white dress and I play the bridesmaid. You can be the princess this time.

Hannah and I met in high school, our freshman year! Since then, she has remained one of my most trusted friends. On top of being my nurse on call, she has provided laughter, great advice, and support. Love her to death and cannot wait to stand by her side as she marries the man of her dreams! 😍

I met Hannah after college on a float trip with my now-fiancé’s group of friends (having never met any of them). She was the first person to embrace me into the group and was always the person I ran to at every get-together since then. Our friendship was immediate and effortless and every time I’m with Hannah I am reminded of how genuine and kind of a human being she is. Myself and Dan are so lucky to get to be a part of this special day celebrating two of our very favorite people.

Alex and I were childhood neighbors. I can’t recall the day we met, but I think he was my fifth favorite Roundcount at first, behind his parents, Michael, and their dog Molly. It really wasn’t until high school that he jumped up to 1 as we bonded over late night ‘chel, which I consistently beat him at, and healthy Taco Bell/Jack In The Box runs. I’m glad we did, because he’s the ultimate guy and now one of my best friends.

Alex and I are lifelong friends. I’ve known Alex ever since I can remember, we met at Karen’s Kids daycare and lived in the same neighborhood. We then attended Sts. Joachim & Ann pre-K through 8th grade, went to Francis Howell Central together, and were roommates at Mizzou.

I met Alex in 4th grade at Sts. Joachim & Ann when I moved from ILL. On my very first day at J&A, I made the tragic (yet stylish) mistake of wearing a sweater vest with our school uniform and Alex absolutely roasted me for wearing it. A true nightmare. Despite the very rocky start, we became friends through high school, roommates at Mizzou, and have grown closer over the years – a great guy and friend too. P.S. I hope he’s wearing a vest for the wedding.

Me and Count sat next to eachother in English class as freshmen. Our English teacher was easy on the eyes, which gave us plenty to talk about. One day he invited me to homecoming (not as dates) and we’ve been friends ever since. He’s a great man and I’m happy to see him marry a great woman.

Me and Alex met in Kindergarten at J and A, like most of our friend group. After leaving J and A in 6th grade, we reconnected in 7th/8th grade when he started playing hockey. We played together in high school and then were roommates at Mizzou. Congrats brother, love you!

Alex and I met through our crazy Bartlett girlfriends who forced us to hang out and we ended up becoming good buddies. We may cheer for different sport teams, but we’ll always be there to cheers drinks with each other. Go, Cubs, Go!

I met Alex in college, maybe sophomore year. I knew him as "Jake's friend with the yellow car". While we were good buddies throughout college, it wasn't until after we graduated and Alex & Hannah moved across the Mississippi to the Chicago Suburbs that we became great friends. Between trips down to Florida for spring break and flights out west to Colorado to carve up some mountains, ours is a well traveled friendship. And I'm looking forward to many more travels ahead!
