The wedding par-tay!! (female addition)

So, with the wedding quickly approaching, there is no time like the present to introduce all the people who will be right up there with Megan and Josh.  So, here are my lovely ladies...

The Matron of Honor - Sara Burton

Sara is my cousin.  Fortunately for me, I come from a family that believes in seeing each other as much as humanly possible and Sara is only one year younger than me.  We have been friends since the first time we met, which neither of us remember since we were both under two years old.  Here are some highlights of our memories together:

-jumping on the bed in Door County

-putting on plays for our family during holiday parties

-staying at the Miraval spa in Arizona (thanks Oprah!)

-meeting her beautiful daughter, Elaina

Bridesmaids:

Sara Schooley - Sara lived next door to me my whole life young life.  We were in the same class throughout elementary school.  As our lives have gone on, we have gotten farther apart, with her in Milwaukee, Virginia, and then Oregon, and me in Kenosha.  Sara is one of those people that no matter how long it has been since we have seen each other, or even talked to each other, it really doesn't matter.  It's like we just saw each other.  Also, Sara is getting married in Oregon this summer!

Morgan Jankiewicz - Morgan is Josh's sister.  When Josh and I first started dating, he asked me if I wanted to go out with his sister.  I, of course, said sure.  We had a great time and to be honest it was that day that I knew that Josh and I were going to be something special.  Family is important to me, so it was great to see that it was important to him too.  Morgan is also a very talented artist and made the jewelry that all the girls will be wearing on the big day!  Make sure to take a look!

Lynne Hanley - Lynne is my sister-in-law.  She and my brother got married two years ago, and I couldn't be happier to call her my sister.  I'm glad that I finally have a sister and she couldn't be a better match for my brother.  She is also a great teacher and has been a great person for me to go to with all my "career" questions.  You also might see her with my wonderful nephew, Mark!

Jr. Bridesmaid

Kalli Majewski - Kalli is my cousin.  She has been a part of many weddings in her life, so she is practically a pro.  For this wedding she has been "promoted" from flower girl to bridesmaid, as Josh says.  She is a really amazing kid who is constantly involved with some kind of charity.  Most of these projects, from selling cookies to earn money to buy toys for the children's hospital, to cutting her hair off for St. Baldricks foundation, she comes up with on her own!
