Abby is Liv's older sister, and although they grew up quite literally at each others' throats from time to time, they have truly grown up into the very best of friends now. Liv rarely goes a day without calling or FaceTiming Abby. If you need advice, an unbiased listening ear, or a yummy home-cooked meal, Abby is your gal. Abby is a proud veteran of the US Navy, a hardworking mom of four to Liv and Collin's nieces and nephews, and has truly been the very best big sister and role model to Liv and Collin. Abby has been there for both Liv and Collin in more ways than one, and no one is quite as deserving of the title "matron of honor" as she is.

Elizabeth, better known as Betsy to friends, but to the rest of the world could be known as Lizzie or Eliza, is Liv's younger sister. At just 18 months apart, Liv and Betsy grew up playing together, fighting together, fake crying to get the other in trouble, and so on. She is truly one of the sweetest, most patient, and most resilient people you will ever meet. She wears her heart on her sleeve. Liv gives Betsy a lot of trouble, but all in good fun because despite all the jokes, Liv truly admires and appreciates Betsy and aspires to be as kind and patient as she is. Liv couldn't imagine this day without her.

Sophie is Liv's youngest sister, and is the one sister people say looks most like Liv, which she should be forever grateful for. Also a new member of the US Navy, Liv is so proud each and every day of everything her baby sister has accomplished. Sophie would do just about anything for the ones she loves, and she is truly the most genuine gal there ever was. Liv is so grateful that Sophie is able to be in town for the wedding to stand by her side, as Liv couldn't imagine missing the spade to Abby, Betsy, and Liv's diamonds, clubs, and hearts.

Katie is Liv's oldest friend. After meeting in middle school, Liv and Katie's friendship quickly grew and turned into late nights watching trash TV, cringy Instagram and Facebook posts together, and laughs they'll cherish forever. Liv and Katie have always found their way back to each other, after attending separate high schools and colleges, and even lived as roommates together in South City for two years after college. Katie and Liv often watched the movie Bridesmaids on repeat growing up, and could probably quote the whole movie to this day if you asked them, so it's only fitting that Katie stands by Liv at her wedding.

Megan is Liv's best friend from high school, and they went on to attend college together for a semester at Missouri State, and then eventually worked together at Liv's aunt and uncle's restaurant, Sawmill BBQ. Through sleeping through their same 8 AM class together after a late night on the town, to ringing in the tip money through college together, to watching each other grow in their relationships with their partners, Megan has been a constant in Liv's life for a long time now. Some of Liv's best laughs have been with her.

Madie is Liv's cousin, and since they are so close in age, they also grew up as built-in best friends. Liv cherishes the memories she shares with Madie, from playing sharks and minnows in Grandma's pool all summer long, to being competitive in any yard game there ever was, to movie nights in Madie's basement watching Cat in the Hat for the millionth time, and everything in between. Through the years, Liv has been lucky enough to remain close friends with Madie and she couldn't imagine her wedding day without Madie being part of it.

Madison, or more lovingly "Ponc", has been Liv's close friend since college, and even more-so in recent years. Ponc is Liv's "ride or die" and Liv is so grateful that Madison is always down for whatever. Liv has many memories with Madison, and knows she can come to Madison with anything. Ponc is the kind of person that can light up a room with her smile and infectious personality. She goes out of her way to make others feel included, and their friendship has a special place in Liv's heart.

Melanie is Liv's soon-to-be sister-in-law, and Liv is so happy to be gaining another sister! Melanie has always been so kind and inclusive towards Liv. She has an adventurous soul, a contagious smile. Liv and Melanie have been on several trips together over the years, and Melanie is always inspiring Liv to step out of her shell to explore new places and things. Liv had the honor of standing by Melanie's side 2 years ago, and she is proud to have Melanie standing by her side on her wedding day.

Callie is so excited to be Liv's junior bridesmaid! She loves all things girly, so she's so excited to be dolled up for this day. In her free time, she enjoys dancing, watching movies, and reading. Callie is so kind and thoughtful, so we know she'll do great on this day. Collin and Liv love their Cal-Mal so much!

Reese is a one-of-a-kind flower girl. She has got so much personality in her little body, and Collin and Liv have yet to tell her that she can't wear her Minnie Mouse dress to their wedding. In her free time, Reese enjoys eating snacks, playing with her baby dolls, and trying to keep up with her big siblings. Reese keeps Collin and Liv on their toes and they can't wait to see her walk down the aisle!

Anthony and Collin have been close friends ever since middle school, and attending different colleges changed nothing. Anthony will go out of his way to help anyone, even if he doesn't know them. Even though our friend group used to call him "dad", don't let that confuse you as he can still have fun with the best of them. Collin and Anthony have taken multiple family trips together and Anthony even third wheeled on a trip to Florida with Collin and Liv. He always makes sure everyone else is taken care of before he worries about himself and that is a hard quality to find. Anthony is funny, thoughtful and one of the best friends that Collin or Liv could ask for. He should have countless stories of growing up with Collin throughout the years and is always very eager to tell anyone willing to listen.

Dominic, or Dom, has been one of Collins closest friends since high school. They have all of the same hobbies from soccer, drinking games, video games, pickle ball, or anything that you can turn into a competition. Sometimes Liv and Dominic's wife, Rachel, complain that Collin and Dominic spend more time talking and hanging out with each other than they do with them. Dominic is the type of friend that everyone wishes they have but few get the privilege of actually having. He is always ready to lend a hand whenever someone needs help and will be the first to offer his services even if you don't know you need them at the time.

Collin and Ben became friends halfway through high school and since then they have done quite a bit together. Ben went on a cruise with Collin's family (where he ended up meeting his wife, Amy) and that was followed up by Ben taking Collin on a trip to Greece with his family. They ended up living together two years in college and have spent countless late nights together after bars watching funny youtube videos or live performances of bands. Ben is always down to grab a drink and sweat out any Mizzou sporting event with you, and he is one hell of a grill master. He brings a calming presence to any room he is in, which is a good thing as Collin brings the exact opposite.

Dylan and Collin were friends in high school but became much closer once Dylan transferred to Mizzou after playing college baseball at Maryville. There aren't many better people to turn to if you're looking to have a good time. Dylan is usually up for anything whether it be grabbing a drink, tearing up a dance floor, or playing any sport or game, and chances are he is going to excel at it. Dylan became so close with Collin and Liv that they ended up introducing him to Liv's cousin Madie. They have now been dating for over two years! In the blink of an eye, Dylan went from friend to family and we couldn't be more lucky.

Dylan, or "Ocho" for short, became friends with Collin at Mizzou when he transferred there from Missouri State. Dylan has the type of personality that can light up a room the second he walks in. Dylan is very funny, caring and one of the best dog-sitters around! He currently plays sand volleyball with Collin and Liv and is the head coach of their co-ed soccer team. If you need a good laugh, Ocho is the guy to go to. However, if you need help finding a belonging that you've lost, you should seek help elsewhere because chances are he is looking for something he lost as well.

Max recently married Collin's sister, Melanie, and has been Collin's brother-in-law for the last two years. Max played volleyball with Collin in high school long before he and Melanie started dating. He is very caring and will gladly drop whatever he is doing in a heartbeat if anyone needs his help. Max always has a smile on his face and always gives everyone his full attention, especially the kids at the school that he works at, and they adore him for it. A fun fact about Max is that he knows anything and everything about any and every animal. Test his knowledge at the wedding by asking him a question about a random animal and chances are he will know the answer.

Tyler was Collin's friend in high school but they became much closer in college as they were roommates for four years, living in three different places. Tyler recently moved to Chicago but that hasn't stopped their friendship, as Collin and Liv have already taken the trip to visit them multiple times. Tyler is one of the most funny people you will meet, an incredible bartender, a talented musician, and has some of the best impressions we have ever heard! Tyler and Collin have made so many memories together over the years and have more inside jokes than you can count.

Ryan and Collin met in high school through Dominic, and over the years became very close. Standing at 6'7, he has been quite the asset to Collin and Liv's sand volleyball team. Ryan is a great friend to have around because he is extremely handy and knows how to fix just about anything. Should you ever need help fixing anything around your house or in your car, Ryan will offer to help you and expect absolutely nothing in return. Ryan is a great storyteller and a great guy to grab a beer with and watch a game. Even though Collin never attended the same school as Ryan, they have spent enough crazy nights together to have inside jokes and stories to laugh about for years to come.

Eddie is Liv's brother-in-law, who is unfortunately unable to be at our wedding, since he is currently serving overseas for the US Navy! While we are devastated that he couldn't be here with us to celebrate, we believe he still deserves the title of "groomsman". Eddie is such a great father to Liv and Collin's nieces and nephews. He is hardworking, and the best family man there ever was. We are so grateful to have such a role model in our lives. Eddie has truly been the big brother Liv never knew she needed. Thank you for your service, Eddie!

Carter is Collin and Liv's oldest nephew, and the one that made them and Aunt/Uncle. Carter is so intelligent, and keeps Collin and Liv young by keeping them up with the latest fads and slang. Carter likes squadding up with Collin and Liv on FortNite, and enjoys playing soccer and reading in his free time. We love our Stinky!

Cameron is the ring bearer, or as he likes to put it, he is the "suit boy" for the wedding since he has to wear a suit. This little guy can name just about every dinosaur there ever was, and he's so excited to be starting Kindergarten next year! We know he'll do great walking down the aisle with his little sister, Reese.

Amy is the best sort of friend anyone could ask for. She and Liv became friends towards the end of high school, and their friendship grew further into college, as Collin and Ben, Amy's husband, were good friends and roommates. Amy is the kind of person who always goes out of her way to make others feel included, and is always down for whatever. Liv is so grateful for their friendship!

Rachel and Liv also became friends at the end of high school, and into college, as she is married to one of Collin's great friends, Dominic. Rachel is truly the sweetest person you'll ever meet. She has been there for Collin and Liv throughout their relationship, and they are so grateful!

Jenna has been such a great friend to Liv over the past several years. Jenna wears her heart on her sleeve, and has so much love for all of her friends, and it shows in everything she does. She has been a constant in Liv and Collin's life, and their friendship has grown stronger and stronger over the years.
