Karen VanBourgondien
Karen VanBourgondien - Matron of Honor
Karen and Kelsi have been inseparable since a young age. They would do EVERYTHING together. They made music videos, made mini water parks in the backyard, put on dance shows for our parents(we charged 25 cents), and took A LOT of pictures. They always find a way to laugh until we cry. Kelsi loves this girl so much and I’m so happy she is part of our big day!
Aren Schwab

Aren has been Kelsi’s best friend since 9th grade. Kelsi and Aren played travel softball and then didn’t leave each others side ever since! Aren is Ryan’s sister and now gets to become Kelsi’s sister! Aren is the sweetest, thoughtful, and amazing friend Kelsi can have. She makes everyone laugh and it’s hard not to be in a great mood around her. Kelsi loves her so much and she can’t wait for Aren to stand by her side as she marries Ryan.
Kailey Schwab

Kelsi is so happy to have Ryan’s sister Kailey as a bridesmaid. Kailey was just 11 when Kelsi came into the family. Kailey went to Kelsi and Aren’s softball games all the time.

Kelsi loves you Dinks❤️

Miranda is Kelsi’s bestie gal. They knew each other in high-school when their friendship began. They have gotten extremely close over the years after high school. Miranda is such a selfless, kind, and wonderful friend. We love hanging out together, weather it be watching our boyfriends (at the time) play corn hole, bills games, or just friend gatherings. Kelsi is so happy to have Miranda as her bestie and is so excited to be in each others weddings.
Meg Gruszewski
Meg Gruszewski - Bridesmaid
Meg and Kels have been best friends for many years and study partners through nursing school. Kelsi and Meg spent many long hours studying at NCCC. We went through a very difficult program together and I wouldn’t have wanted to go through it with anyone else. We were each others support systems and shoulder to lean on (or cry on). Meg and Kels are more than study buddies. They made a friendship that is going to last forever. Kelsi loves Meg for many reasons, but most importantly she loves how they can just be themselves around each other. They laugh until the cry and love being goofy together. Kelsi loves Meg so much and she is so excited for her to be an important part of her special day.
