The Ladies
Libby, Maid of Honor
Kristin and Libby met on the bus in eighth grade, and have been best friends ever since.

Over the last ten years Libby and Kristin have been through so much together and Kristin feels so honored to have Libby standing next to her on her big day! 
Nicole is not only Jason’s younger sister but is Kristin’s first best friend. Kristin and Nicole grew up together dancing to George Michael, giving each other make-overs and walking to Jerry’s grocery store to meet boys. Nicole has been a constant source of love, support and laughs throughout Kristin’s life and especially during the past few years of Kristin and Jason’s relationship.
Kristin and Carolyn were basically forced to be friends. Carolyn was dating and is now engaged to Jake, one of Jason’s best friends. Lucky for Kristin and Carolyn, they have a ton in common and get along great. Kristin can always count on Carolyn for advice, a laugh or someone to take a good picture. Kristin has loved planning her wedding along side Carolyn and could not imagine her big day without Carolyn by her side.
Kristin and Christina have been friends since eighth grade and have gotten closer every year since. From high school dances to frat parties to dinners at Big Bowl, Kristin and Christina have had some amazing times.

Most of Kristin’s favorite memories from the past ten years include Christina and she is so glad to have her as part of the wedding.
Natalie is Kristin’s step-sister and when they met for the first time they instantly clicked. They were both shocked at how much they had in common and how similar they really were. Kristin and Natalie have had some amazing times on the boat and singing karaoke. Even though they’re not related by blood they are definitely sisters through and through. Kristin can’t imagine her wedding day without her long lost twin.
Courtney is Kristin’s sorority sister and one of the main reasons Kristin joined Alpha Omicron Pi her freshman year of college. Courtney has been like a big sister to Kristin the last seven years and is one of the few people who really understands Kristin’s love for Gopher football (win or lose). Courtney is an amazing wife, mother and friend who is always ready for a good time and has been a role model for Kristin since day one at A-O-Pi.
Kara is Kristin’s baby sister and the similarities between these sisters are astounding, even though they’re twelve years apart. Kara is in eighth grade at _________ and is on the dance team, plays the flute and is quite the social butterfly. Kristin is so excited to have her “mini-me” walk down the aisle before her.
Ally is Jason’s youngest sister. Even though they were born eighteen years apart, Ally and Jason are so similar. They both love sports (and are really good at them), are extremely smart and equally as quick witted.
