Tori - Maid of Honor

Paige met Tori working at the Park Shore Resort in 2014. There was an instant bond and love for one another that could last a lifetime, and it did. Tori may not be able to celebrate with us physically, but you better bet her spirit won't miss it for the world!

Sydney - Bridesmaid

Paige and Sydney became friends during 8th grade volleyball season. Don't ask how long ago that was because it's an eternity... 🤣 We've been enemies (7th grade... you had to be there lol), best friends, teammates, dancing queens, roommates at MSU, but my favorite is chosen sisters. Through all the stages we have been through in life, I'm most honored to stand by Paige and Alex as they enter the best chapter of their lives together.

Yeah, so I don't specifically remember the moment I met Alex. It's been way too many years and we have killed a few too many brain cells together to remember specific details but the best I can piece together is this... He just kinda showed up, like a stray puppy, and the group felt he needed a home and we needed a mascot so we all kinda adopted him, like a pet monkey.. but I know for a fact we wouldn't trade this monkey for anything. He's our special monkey.

Alex is one of my oldest and best friends. We have made so many great memories over the years, from playing basketball through grade school to living together in East Lansing, where I introduced him to Paige. I'm looking forward to celebrating their marriage and making more great memories in the years to come.

Trenton - Groomsmen

I really got to know Alex after high school. Once we realized we both liked the same music and enjoyed some of the same hobbies, it was instant friendship. No matter how far away we live from each other, we always visit when we can to catch a festival or show.

Alyssa - Bridesmaid

Paige and I met in middle school playing volleyball. 💜 She had such a vibrant, outgoing personality and was instantly someone that I knew I wanted to be friends with. To this day, I cannot think of a person with a more caring, protective, and loving heart! It's an honor to now be friends with both Paige and Alex and celebrate them both!

Shaina - Bridesmaid

Paige and I have been acquaintance's since middle school and even spent some nights together at the same sleep overs. I played basketball in high school and she played volleyball. If I had continued my pursuit in volleyball, I'm sure the two of us would have been great friends, like we are now, but much sooner. I was gone in the military for 6 years, and missed the majority of time when Paige and Tori became best friends. I am happy and grateful my sister had found another "sister" to be the best of biscuit's with. Paige, Alex and Audia feel like home to us now, and they are welcome to bust through our door anytime with no announcements necessary. ❤️ P.S. we hope they move home soon!

Hannah - Bridesmaid

I can't remember the exact moment that we met. But I know that between 7th grade choir class and 7th grade volleyball, we were a part of a super cool group of chicks! I would say for a long time, our love for volleyball is what kept us connected to each other. But now it's just about how amazing of a connection we have as friends. ❤️ I love her so much and I can't wait to celebrate THEM so soon!

Cam - Usher

Unfortunately with all the great times of having Alex as a friend, I cannot recall the first time we met. However, I can say it was most likely through mutual friends of Michael Batdorf and Dan Parish back in High School probably around the age of 16. We were acquaintance throughout our schooling at Elk Rapids, but I can officially say our friendship began in high school. Over the years our friendship has been bonded by adventure, fishing, hunting, hammocking, Jeeping, camping and many more awesome memories that took place at MSU.

Alexis - Bridesmaid

Paige and I met in 2016. I was working at the Parkshore, and Paige had come home from school for break. I was very pregnant and in a very scary, stressful, and lost era of life. I have a difficult time connecting with new people, but Paige isn’t like most people. She took me under her wing for the rest of my pregnancy. I never expected working a few serving shifts with a girl home on school break would turn into a life long friendship. She’s stood by my side during times that most people would have left. I couldn’t be more lucky or thankful for her genuine friendship.

Jenna - Bridesmaid

For those of you that don’t know me, my name is Jenna and I’m Paige’s “favorite” (only) sister. When my dad and mom told me they were having another baby, I knew in my heart it was going to be a girl; although, everyone else, including the doctors, expected a boy. After having two brothers, I just knew God wasn’t going to give me another brother. Sure enough… I got my sister and we couldn't be more different but she stole my heart... even though she would embarrass me any chance she could get. "Jenna, come wipe my butt!"

Alec - Groomsmen

Alex and Paige; I knew both of these cool cats separately before they dated. They were such nice and great people, but since they became a joined couple, they have both made each other better people in so many ways. They are the most strong and fun couple to be around. Both of them make me uncontrollably laugh. Alex you are very lucky to have found Paige. And Paige, you won’t find another like Alex in the whole world. I think Alex is the most badass DJ of all time. He can absolutely shred and little dred riding hood sure can boogie down.

Spencer - Groomsmen

Hi, I've known Alex since kindergarten. We have had many great memories that will never be forgotten. Alex is like a brother to me and I am honored to stand by him as he marries the woman of his dreams. Cheers to the future Mr. and Mrs. Braim.

Lily - Bridesmaid

I'm Paige's niece. For as long as I've known her, she has been like a big sister to me. She would blare music, and I would dance along. I remember she had these awesome fur boots, and I wanted a pair, so I got mini ones just like hers. Paige would braid my hair before I knew how. She would paint my nails. She would gossip to me about boys. She liked ice in her milk, so I put ice in my milk. Paige always made me feel included and loved. She has and will always have a place in my heart.

Andrew - Groomsmen

Hey, I'm Paige's younger brother but she refers to me as, "Little Brother". I owe a lot to Paige. She taught me how to eat. Or should I say, "How not to eat!" My memories of eating breakfast with Paige when we were getting ready for school are forever in my brain. We would sit down to eat and as soon as the food touched my lips, she would say, loudly, "ANDREW! CLOSE YOUR MOUTH!" This would be repeated over and over again throughout breakfast! And year after year! To this day, I eat very quietly, and I think it is totally out of fear of hearing those words, "ANDREW! CLOSE YOUR MOUTH!" I do like to hang out with Paige when I can, but never, ever, to get something to eat! 😁

Aaron - Best Man

I'm Alex's little brother. We are close in age and throughout the years we were able to always share things in common. We've got a lot of the same interests. Through sports, festivals, concerts and creating music; we have developed a great connection and I'm glad he is my brother. I'm very excited to see this guy get married to his bestfriend! I couldn't ask for a better sister-in-law and having them both in my life is a blessing. March is right around the corner and I couldn't be happier. I'm ready to dress up, dance and see something magical. Congrats you two!
