CeCe and Maddie met during their first ever marching band practice their freshman year of high school and have been best friends ever since! Since then, they've shared plenty of laughs, crazy nights, and have memories to last a lifetime! <3

Growing up, Madeline & Cassidy fought, bickered, and argued 8 days a week. They shared a bedroom and could not stand each other! One day, the universe shifted and now they're thick as thieves! They would do anything for each other and always have each other's backs. Special shout out to Cassidy because this wedding would NOT be happening without all her love and support in planning!

Tiffany and Maddie met working at Lane Bryant in the Franklin Park Mall years ago. They realized quickly that they were the exact same kind of weird, and had an unusual amount of similarities in their lives. They are now fully convinced that Tiffany is actually Maddie 15 years in the future. If you're intrigued, find us at the wedding to ask us more about our weird similarities!

Maddie is one of Madeline's oldest friends. They go way back to 3-year-old preschool! They've shared countless memories together over the years: girl scouts, sports, school musicals, birthday parties, science fairs, etc. They went to different high schools, but later reconnected over their hatred for their Psychology professor in college. Since then, they have shared many dinners, drinks, and TONS of laughs. Maddie also holds the record for Madeline's longest snap streak of 790 days!

Caitlin and Maddie both went to Bowsher High School, but they didn't share any school hobbies or classes. They had mutual friends, but just never really connected in high school. It wasn't until they received their RANDOM dorm room assignments at The University of Toledo that they became friends, and they've been besties ever since! (They even have coffee mugs that say so ;). Maddie certainly would not be the person she is today had she never met Caitlin, and I think it's safe to say Caitlin feels the same way. Special shout out to her mother, Stacey, who did all the flowers for the wedding!! <3

Sam and Maddie met working at Monnette's together. Sam was always working so hard to be great at her job and the best mom she could be. Maddie made it her goal to always try to make Sam laugh at work, but it wasn't always easy! Maddie quickly fell in love with Sam and her kids and there's not much she wouldn't do for them! Since then, they've spent many nights together playing games, partying, reading bedtime stories, laughing, crying, and dancing! For anyone who knows the trampoline story.... Sam was the one who double jumped me!! ;) <3

Another of Madeline's oldest friends going way back to the Trinity days! It was around 3rd or 4th grade when Amanda and Madeline decided they would be best friends. Amanda was the first person Madeline called a "sister," outside of her own family. Madeline considers the Poole family as part of the village that raised her, and is so grateful to have them in her life. There are entirely too many stories to tell about these two girls, but we promise they would make you cry laughing! Please come find us at the wedding and ask us to share!

Maddie and Fred met while working at Monnette's. Since then, Fred has married Maddie's best friend, Cheryl, and they have two beautiful children together! Fred and Maddie weren't always close; in fact, they often fought over Cheryl! But it was their mutual love for Cece that brought them together. Fred has been a great friend to Maddie and Spencer and has given lots of great advice over the years. He's probably their most logical, organized, and responsible friend. He is deeply passionate about the things he cares about, and there are few people we would trust with such an important role in our wedding!

Hailey is Spencer's younger sister and was his best friend growing up! They had lots of fun playing outside, going camping, boating and fishing. He looks up to her for being so outgoing, kind, and thoughtful. Maddie is so excited to have another sister, and especially loves when she and Hailey team up and pick on Spence! (Don't worry, he likes to pick on them too!!)

Good older cousin, could go to him with questions or for advice. shooting together. Older brother.

Maddie met James because of her friendship with Tiffany (his wife), and James immediately welcomed Maddie as part of the family. Since then, Maddie has referred to him as "Big Brother James." He played a big role in the beginning of Maddie and Spencer's relationship. When they first started dating, he wanted all the juicy details and gave his best bro advice when Maddie needed it! James is also a craft beer guy, and works for Ford, so naturally Spencer took a liking to him after they met!

Maddie and Dave also met while working at Monnette's. He is one of the funniest people we've ever met and has such a great heart! He always went out of his way to try to scare the living crap out of Maddie at work, and was always able to make her laugh, sometimes when no one else could! Sam and Dave are a beautiful couple and Spence and Maddie have had the privilege of knowing them and their wonderful families. Dave is also a craft beer connoisseur, and likes to shoot guns, so naturally he and Spence became friends!

Maddie and Spence rescued Ace in 2019 when they moved into their first house together. Spencer was working third shift as a corrections officer at the time and didn't like the thought of Maddie being home alone every night. He had spent years in shelters (including a kill shelter) and had definitely been abused. It took a while for Ace to trust in his new parents, but now he is a thriving and happy pup! He's a mama's boy through and through, and he follows her wherever she goes. He even keeps her feet warm when she works from home! Some of his favorite things are sunbathing, cuddling, barking at the same mailwoman he has seen 1,047 times, and pre-washing the dirty dinner plates.
