Junior Bridesmaid Mackenzie Rose:)



Mackenzie is Shawn's oldest niece who is in the 7th grade! I met Kenz when Shawn and I first started dating when she was in KINDERGARTEN! She has definitely matured into a beautiful young lady and presents herself very well. I am so proud of the person that she has become. Even though I left to go to school I feel like I have seen Kenz really transform into this person. She lives with her mom Krissy whom is an awesome person. She has raised her kids to be the best that they are and we are so proud of them. Thanks Kenz for being apart of our day.. We love and miss you so much

Bridesmaid Michelle :)



Okay Michelle Kathleen Durr Duuurr... Michy K.. Micheline.. Mole.. and the list goes on... this is one of the "better" pictures that Michelle and I have because I couldn't find one that one of us were not doing something ridiculous in because that is the type of friend Michelle is.. Sometimes I have no idea where she is, what she is doing, or what is going on BUT then we catch right back up!! Honestly I have "known" Michelle since Kindergarten (there are birthday party videos that back that up) but our friendship really held strong in the 6th grade.. With I might add the help of our purple walkie talkies that worked from my house to her house.. and we were coolios and forced our parents into getting us our own telephone line!! Michelle is probably the funniest/craziest/funnest.. friends I have ever had... Love you Mich K!! Thank you

Bridesmaid Jessica :)



Jessica Fields!... Whew where to even start.. Maybe Mrs. Dumus's class.. orrr the "triangle".. or the Knothole.. I am not really sure but it seems that this girl has been with at every important part of my life.. Jessica & I have been friends since probably the fourth grade.. Although through points in our friendship we may have been distant.. but when we pick that up we are right on target.. I am so appreciative of Jessica accepting to be a part of our wedding because I feel that she also has a great friendship with Shawn.. This is one off the wall girl and I love spending time with her.. New York or the Carolina's we stay strong.. Maybe I can fly "Bo" up for a dance with her.. LOVE YOU!!

Bridesmaid Lauren :)



This pretty much sums up mine and Lauren's friendship!! Peace up Atown down! Lauren and I went through the education program at Canisius College... BUT we did not become super close until our final year of school. I don't think that I would have made it through my senior year/ student teaching without Lauren by my side... She helped me keep my sanity and got me through some major obstacles that I hit... Once I moved to South Carolina, Lauren was the first person who visited me and makes huge attempts to get together!! And for that I am grateful... Last year we went down to see Lauren for a strict girls weekend and HAD A BLAST... This girl is my rock in sooo many ways as well as a comic relief... KITTY... HARV... I am forever thankful that you accepted to be a part of this transition in my life!!.. I love you!!

Bridesmaid Jill :)



Jill & I have been friends ever since I can recall having close friends!! We were pretty much inseparable from 6th grade on. There were even times when people confused Jill and I for twins and repeatedly we would be called each others names!! Jill has always been by side, well unless it was her causing trouble and then running in a different direction!!! She is one crazy girl and we always have an awesome time when we hang out! Jill married her high school sweetheart Sean back in August of 2005.. Sean and Jill have a beautiful little girl Claire (abella!! haha) and she definitely is going to give them a run for their money... especially if she is anything like her mother!!... Love you Jill and thank you for everything!!

Bridesmaid Shawna Mae:)



For about the past 8 years Shawna and I have been pretty indestructible! Our friendship has gone through many different hard and good times and I am proud to say that she is one of the closest friends I have had. Shawna has been there throughout Shawn & mine's relationship from day one. Shawna has a son Keighan who is five years old and I am proud to call him my godson! He is the cutest guy ever!! Our friendship has never faded over the years and although we may not see each other all the time, our bond remains constant and I am very thankful for that... I love you Shawna Mae and thank you for being apart of this process in my life!!
