Bridal Party Introductions!

I realized I haven't done a post on my bridal party yet! Making a decision on who to include in our bridal party wasn't difficult after we thought about what we really want. Nathan has two brothers and I have two sisters, so we knew at the very minimum we wanted to include those two on both sides. At the same time, however, we wanted to keep our bridal parties small—at most three each. Somehow the choice suddenly became tricky. Would I ask my roommate of the last two years? One of my two closest friends from school? One of Nathan's two sisters (my future sisters-in-law!)? The same applied for Nathan.

The answer is none of the above. We chose to have only two stand up with us on each side—my sisters and his brothers, respectively. The alternative would have been to include his two sisters and my brother for four bridesmaids and three groomsmen. The big obstacle with this is that my brother is only 15 and actually didn't want to stand up in our wedding, so I think our final choice ended up being the best overall! We'll be blessed to have some of our siblings stand up with us and others directly involved in the wedding.

But now for introductions! These are directly from our wedding website.

Bridesmaid Emily

Emily is the second oldest Dickinson girl and a junior nursing major. This picture shows exactly who she is—a free spirit. A soon-to-be two-time beast of a marathon runner, Emily is the strongest & fastest, and also by far the most outgoing!









Bridesmaid Abigail

Abigail is the youngest Dickinson girl—and the tallest, which means she is often asked "Who's older?" Also a marathoner, Abigail's running style reflects her personality: steady and consistent. You can call her "Abi," but make sure you spell it with an i.









Groomsman Brandon

Brandon is the third oldest Miller and the first to get married! Brandon & Brittany were married in a ranch-style wedding on July 21, 2012, and currently live in Utah. Brandon also might be playing the cello—as long as he's willing to play Pachelbel's Canon in D.









Groomsman Jeremie

Jeremie is the baby of the Miller family and probably the quietest—it took him a year & a half to say more than three words together to Laura! Let's just be honest, Jer prefers slide tackling on the soccer field to holding a conversation. He also has a tendency to spill things on himself...








So maybe I had a little too much fun with the introductions and poking fun at my siblings and future siblings—lots of inside jokes. But I really am so excited to have these four standing up with us! You'll see a lot more of them in future posts when we start talking more about attire, wedding day timelines, and pictures.
