The Bridal Party

About the Mermaids:

Mermaid of Honor: Courtney Murray

The incredibly smart and equally as beautiful Billy! Our friendship has been through so much distance and we've sometimes gone years without talking, but every time we do, its like nothing has changed. You've always made me want to be a better person and I couldn't thank you enough for being such a positive influence on me. Your dedication to our friendship is unmatched and there is no one else that gets me like you do. I appreciate you so much and I am so grateful that it was YOU standing by me and supporting me. Love you!

Kylie Van Horn

My beautiful little (big) sister! Growing up, we were practically considered twins. You've always been there when I needed it the most, from scary toilet monsters to scary wedding plans. We've been through so much and I am so proud of you! Thank you for teaching me modesty, generosity, and the meaning of true love.

Michelle Patino

One of the greatest friends a girl could ever have is this amazing woman! She's pretty much a genius and she's got the most amazing heart! You are a wonderful person and my academic career would be nothing without your help! Thank you for being in my life and helping me when I needed it the most!

Shanna McCoy

This girl right here is unreal! She's not only one of the most beautiful girls I have ever met but she has a personality that doubles it! Each day I wake up and hope to be half as compassionate and kind as you are. You're so naturally and effortless graceful and I am so happy we've become friends.

Valerie Gagné

Even though we haven't been friends for as long as some people think, our friendship blossomed fast and strong. We grew so close in such a short amount of time but I wouldn't have it any other way. I admire your strength and resiliency so much and am so grateful that we get to spend so much time together. You constantly teach me how to be a bigger person. Thank you for making me laugh and taking away my loneliness!

Honorary Mermaids:

Ericka Buckley

My "other" big sister! Ericka, you have been such an important aspect to my life! I have learned so much from you! You look out for me in ways no one else does. You're honest, warm, and so generous. You are such an intelligent woman and a great role model. Thank you for sharing your beautiful mind with me. And someday, I wish to be at least half the amazing mother you are!

Jessica Lenzini

My amazing big sister who has always supported me and worked so hard to keep me sane during wedding planning! I've always looked up to you since I was a little girl, and I am so happy to have you by my side at my wedding! Thank you for teaching me perseverance, hard work, and to not waste energy on negativity.
