Kami and Maddie attended elementary school to high school together. They would visit each other after high school at GCU and Disneyland where Kami worked. She is a very talented photographer who has built her business from the ground up and took our engagement photos! Kami is one person that Maddie has been blessed to call a friend for over a decade.

Claire and Maddie met at a church small group and slowly became closer from there. They share a love of all things crunchy, hiking, and coffee dates. One of Maddie's favorite first memories with her was when about eight friends from church went on a camping trip to celebrate her birthday! She is such a sweet friend who is very kind and patient with all of Maddie's antics!

Maddie would not have survived college without Suzanne. They met freshman year and after having only one class with her Maddie asked her if she wanted to do a Disneyland trip (to visit Kami of course). They went to class together, studied together, ate together, and shared a bedroom. She is one of the sweetest and most bubbly people while also being wicked smart. Currently she works as a podiatrist in Boston.

Ren and Maddie first met at a church small group 5-6 years ago. Maddie moved into her house in 2021 and oh the adventures they have been on! Ren and Maddie share a love of parties, costumes, and games. She is currently working at The Arizona Science Center! She had previously worked as an art teacher at the school Maddie substitute taught at.

Darrah and Maddie met through Ren as they both were teachers at the same school for a period of time. Darrah and Maddie bonded over talking about relationships, F1 (yes, they are Ferrari girls), fashion, drama, and cheese. She recently moved into the house with Maddie and Ren and they are so happy they can spend more time together!

Taylor and Maddie have known each other since kindergarten and even lived on the same street! They played soccer on the same team, went to horse camp together, and were practically inseparable. Taylor moved to SoCal, became a professional surfer, and taught Maddie to surf! Taylor's parents are preforming Maddie and Daniel pre-marital counseling and her father will be officiating the wedding! Maddie admires Taylor's easygoing nature and love for the Lord!

Danny and Daniel were neighbors and classmates from kindergarten until 3rd grade in Grand Rapids, MI. Every summer Daniel's family would return to Grand Rapids to visit family and friends, Danny and Daniel often spent most of this time together. Over the years our families became very close often referencing Danny as the third child of the Branski's or Daniel as being the third Oren brother!

Mac was Daniel's resident assistant his freshman year at Michigan State. Mac graduated in the spring of 2013 but continued his graduate level studies at Michigan State for medical school. They played ice hockey together and attended Michigan State football games!

Ryan is married to Claire Olson, one of the bridesmaids. Ryan and Daniel became great friends as Daniel and Madeline started dating. Ryan is a fellow engineer and attends Pella Communities regularly.
