Sara is everything I always wanted and never had in a big sister. She brings so much to our family that I am thankful for. She is the most thoughtful, generous, selfless, and down right hilarious person I have ever known. Only those I love most are allowed to call me 'Karen Walters' and she made it to that elite list quickly. Sara is sure to simultaneously keep all of us laughing and crying during the ceremony. In the same moments we miss Jordy in the biggest way, I am also so grateful he brought Sara into our family. I am so glad she said 'yes' to marrying us.

I was born into a family FULL of boys, and Chelsea is my one and only older female cousin. In turn, I looked up to her in so many ways growing up. As we have gotten older I have been able to experience our relationship in such a different way. We have grown into friends aside from our relationship as cousins, and she’s been a huge support in my life as an adult and as a mother. She was there as we welcomed both of our beautiful babies into the world and I’ve had the absolute blessing of watching our children grow to be close as well. She has been a part of so many special memories in my life, I am so thankful to add our wedding day to that list.

What do you say about someone who has been your best friend for all of your life? Alyssa and I have been inseparable since we were three years old. We have experienced all of life’s highs and lows together. She’s the first person I turn to for support in the bad times and to celebrate together in the good. I think the luckiest people in the world find their soulmate in their best friend, and I absolutely have. Alyssa always leaves me better than she found me in our time together, and I’m so grateful for a friend that brings out all of the good in me. There was no question who was going to be my maid of honor when Jordan and I got engaged. I can’t wait to have her stand by my side on one of the most special days of my life.

I was so lucky to be born into a BIG and close knit family full of cousins. I was even luckier to have some super close in age. I've always referred to Mallory as one of my built-in best friends. We fought like sisters growing up and loved each other like sisters too. When we dreamt up our wedding days as kids there was never a question that she'd be a part of mine. We have shared so many special moments of each other's lives and I cant wait to add one more memory made with Mal by my side.

Jordan brought so many wonderful qualities to our relationship, one of my favorites is that he's Taylor's cousin. Taylor and I instantly connected when we met and were quick to be close friends. She is one of the most generous and kind people you will ever meet. I'm fairly certain she was just as ready for us to be engaged as we were and was even there when Jordan proposed. I was so lucky to stand by her side on her wedding day and I am so happy she said 'yes' to stand by me on mine.

There's very little of my life that I remember without April in it. When I think back to how she braided my hair when I wasn't much older than my daughters are now and how much our relationship has grown it makes me smile. There's not enough kind things I can say about April. She's kind, humble, and a fantastic Aunt to our babes. I can't wait to celebrate with April on our big day.

To say I was thrilled to find out Jordan had a niece when we started dating would be a major understatement and boy, did I hit the jackpot on nieces. Chloe is the absolute sweetest girl you will ever meet. I have had the absolute blessing to watch her grow from an adorable five year old into an absolutely fantastic little lady. She is the girly girl niece I had always wanted and I can't wait to play 'dress up' with her on our wedding day.

Our first born baby girl and sassy sweetheart, Hadley is sure to rise to the occasion as she takes her role of flower girl VERY seriously. She refers to our wedding day as her own and I have no doubt she will run the show when the day comes. I can't wait to see her sweet smile when she puts her dress on and feels like the princess she is.

Voted most likely to dump the petals before even hitting the aisle, Ryan will be everyone's source of laughter on the big day. She takes nothing seriously and is always conspiring some sort of trouble (usually with her favorite person, Mack). She will be the best reminder to laugh and not stress over the things we can't control on our day. I can't wait to watch her 'rawr' like a dinosaur down the aisle and tear up the dance floor at the reception.

Kellen and I met six years ago while working together at Sportsfield Specialties and have been best buds ever since. Kel and I enjoy hunting together and doing anything outdoors, we look forward to having our daughters join us in the coming years. I am happy to have Kel by my side on my wedding day.

Tyler is my oldest brother so we obviously share DNA but we also share a lot common interests. We grew up riding four wheelers together and attending each other's ball games, I was even the water boy at the 2007 State Championship football game for Tyler's team. Being dragged along to all of Tyler's games as a kid only grew my enthusiasm for sports. One of my favorite memories with Tyler is riding in the middle seat of his truck and learning how to drive his stick shift. Tyler has taught me many things in life, including some that are still a secret to our Mom and Dad. I'm happy to have him as a groomsman on our wedding day.

Cody is my middle brother and is a huge influence for my love of hunting. We spent a lot of time growing up in the woods together, he was even with me when I shot my first turkey and filmed my first bow-kill. My girls sure do have a love and affection for their 'Uncle Muff'. I am lucky to have a brother like Cody and even luckier to have him by my side on my special day.

JD and I were instant friends when we met and now are family, thank you Taylor. We share a lot of common interests and always have a good time together. He is 'Uncle Sqautch' to our daughters and when you meet him on our wedding day you'll see the resemblance too. I was able to stand as a groomsman on JD and Taylor's wedding day and I am so glad he will be there to do the same on mine.

Blake and I met at Walton Nursery School when we were four years old and have pretty much been connected at the hip ever since. We spent so much time at each other's houses that we both gained a whole second family. We played football, basketball, and baseball together throughout all of our years in school. Blake and I have shared so many memories together including camping, vacations, and even shared a graduation party. I always knew Blake would be standing with me on my wedding day.

Levi is our nephew and the coolest little dude you'll ever meet. He's a phenomenal athlete and the most easy-going guy in the room at all times, he also gives the best backrubs. I see a lot of myself in Levi and enjoy the time we do get to spend together, regardless of how far we live from them. I'm so glad to have Levi standing with me on our wedding day.

When we asked Jackson how he planned to perform his duties at our wedding he replied, "Run down the aisle and throw the rings!". We expect nothing less! You can expect to see Jackson at the center of the dance floor with the best moves and the cutest smile. Without a doubt Jackson and Mack will be the most dapper dudes on our wedding day, sorry Jordan!

The youngest of the Rose brothers, 'Mack' is sure to steal your heart. He is Ryan's favorite person, and with those sweet chunky cheeks and hilarious personality there is no question as to why. We can't wait to see him all spiffed up on our day!
