THIS GIRL!!! I've known this girl for what seems like ever but in reality has been a good 20 + years, we've had ALOT of ups and downs in life but I know my life wouldn't be the same without her crazy butt she keeps life entertaining, which is why i asked her to be my maid of honor. I dont think she knew or expected to be my MOH or even in the wedding.  She had asked me to come eat one evening at Lazy Dog, I had been wanting to try that place so I was like HECK YEAH lol I took her a little present & well she opened it up it was a puzzle she had to put together hehe so as she's putting it together she gets about halfway through it and says " I think I know what this says" then it was just a few seconds later she got all excited and says YES I will be your MOH it was an exciting time for both of us! 

Maddie is Erik's sister (i'm pretty sure she's his favorite too), she is one of the sweetest most kind hearted girls you will ever meet!! I met her and just fell in love with her, she is the sister I never had. Maddie is only 16 but she is such a head strong person, when she sets her mind to something she makes it happen. I am so proud of her and the young woman she continues to be and I am so blessed to be gaining her as my "sister" that's why I knew she HAD to be a part of mine her & favorite Big Brother's day so I asked her to be a bridesmaid. I knew it would be an honor to Her, Myself and Erik to have her stand beside us as we become 1 :) 

Mandy came into my life several years ago through her mini me Rilee, I was at bennignas in Lake Worth with a "date" and Mandy was there on a "date" as well, neither of us was really into the date and Rilee kept looking over at me and I was waiving at her and she asked Mandy if she could come sit with me and well Mandy being the awesome person she is she came over and introduced herself and told me Rilee wanted to sit me and asked if it was okay which of course i said yes DUH im a kid lover lol so they decided to move over by us too and we just hit it off and have been friends every since. I don't get to see her often enough but I know without a doubt if I ever needed her she would be there. I got to go and watch her marry the man of her dreams now she get's to be a special part of me doing the same! Mandy had texted me one day asking me how the wedding planning was going and asked me if she could help with anything and I said well there is one thing..."will you be my bridesmaid" and although it was through a text i could tell she was super excited as was I when she said "of course" :) They say friendship isn't about whom you've know the longest it's about who came into your life and proved they was there to stay and well that is 110% true!

Kori and I have known each other for close to 20 years now, we met through some mutual friends who took us on a "double date" to the Rangers game at that time I didn't know her we just picked her up and went to the game but by the end of the night we became friends and have remained friends since. We have some of the best times together and I love her to death.  We don't get to see each other often but that doesn't affect our friendship, life gets complicated when you live 5 hours away from each other and she has kids so she stays busy with them but I know she will always be my friend!! Kori was in town not to long ago visiting her Dad who had been in the hospital and I asked her to come by I had something for her, so she comes over one evening we are sitting at my house just talking shooting the sheet and I handed her a baggie, she says "what is this" i said "open it" so she opens it and realizes it's a puzzle and says "i am no good at this, why would you do this to me" haha but I made her put it together and when she did she got all excited and of course said Yes :) I am so honored to have her stand beside me on my wedding day as I marry my Best Friend! 

I've saved the best for last with this girl, we have known each other for about 25 years. We met through an old mutual friend at good ol Stardust Skating Rink in Azle we was regulars there, every Friday and Saturday night :) We chased many many boys together in that place and had some of the absolute BEST times and made soooo many memories (I have pictures proving it) We have been through alot together, lots of smiles and tears. She has always told me I wish you could find you a good man like my Hubby, that's what you deserve & well BOTH of our wish FINALLY came through. Susan hasn't really gotten to be around Erik but what little she was she really liked him and of course i'm always telling her all the sweet things he does and she says awwwww :) I've been there beside Susan for 2 weddings (1 don't count) so FINALLY she gets to be by my side on my day. I really did save the best for last even with asking, I had asked everyone and hadn't really seen or talked to her (life had gotten in the way) so one day while we was talking on the phone she asked me am i even going to be in your wedding, i know im not your MOH I said of course you are, you are my longest friend and one my deareast so when we finally met up one day I gave her puzzle to her and said HERE now quit your bitching (not really) but I told her im sorry life had been crazy and i hadn't gotten a chance to give it to her yet but ABSOLUTLY WITHOUT A DOUBT I wanted her in my wedding, i wouldn't have it any other way!!!! 

Erik & Bubba have known each other literally forever, they are hell on wheels together but Bubba is a GREAT guy, i'm so glad that Erik has someone like him in his life. Bubba is the person you can call when you need ANYTHING and he'll be right there even if it's the shirt off his back :) Not to long after we got engaged and picked out our venue we went over to Bubba & Bree's house to visit for a bit and as Erik was showing Bubba the wedding stuff he asked him to be his best man, Bubba was pretty dang excited and might of shed a tear or two. Then, another night we went to dinner I had a card made for him that says definition of best man and so that night Erik gave it to him and as he read it he teared up again :) Bubba has a HUGE heart and it will be an absolute honor to have him in the wedding party and standing beside Erik on our big day helping to keep him calm (along with a little alchohol hehe). We love you Bubba and Thank you for all you do for Erik & Us!  

This is an oldie but goodie because it has all 3 guys in one pic! Mikey is Erik's Dad & Chase is Erik's Brother. Mikey is HUGE in Erik's life not only is he his Dad but he is his Role Model and Best Friend and Chase well...that's a whole nother story haha! Chase is Erik's little Brother and half Brother, he is a little on the wild side but he's young so it's to be expected. Chase is alot of fun, you will always have a good laugh with him around by something he does or says or has done & said. Now Mikey is a different story, he is a Man of few words, when I first met him I was so nervous around him because of this but as time has gone by and he's around more it get's easier lol. It is an Honor for Erik & I to have these 2 Men stand beside his side as we say I Do and become 1! 

I couldn't get Married without having my Brother in my wedding & Erik knew how important it was to me to have him so he asked him to be a groomsman and he accepted. Growing up wihtout my Father all I had was my Brother & even though that meant always being "Monte's little Sister" I love my Brother very much. Erik has become pretty close to him throught this past year between the lake, holikdays the Boys and of course BWW :). It is an honor to have him stand beside us on this day, he will also be the one walking me down the isle. 

Weston is 1 of Erik's half Brothers on his Mom's Side, Although they are not that close these days I know he really wants to have him by his side in the wedding.
