The Bride & Her Maids
Maid of Honor and Sister: Christal
''It seems they had always been, and
would always be friends time could
change much, but not that."
-Winnie the Pooh
I choose this quote because in my heart we were always meant to be friends that turned into family. Love you, Cortney. Thank you for giving me your strong hand when I needed it. I will always do my best to do the same.
Bridesmaid: Laura
Cortney is a magical human who infuses fun, love, and excitement into any situation. What I love about Cortney is how creative, free-spirited, good-hearted and full of life she is. She loves hard and treats her people well.
Her charm and enthusiasm leave every room brighter than she found it. Her empathy and genuine nature leave every person feeling more special after meeting her. My favorite days are the ones that start with an hour long call to Cortney. She’s an amazing, supportive, thoughtful friend and I’m lucky to have her in my life.
Bridesmaid: Liz
I love you my little weirdo soul sister. Your existence and friendship illuminates my life.
Bridesmaid: Kerry
Cortney's spirit and radiant smile are truly contagious, lighting up any room she enters. Her kindness and thoughtfulness are unparalleled, and she has a knack for bringing the best party favors that add a special Cortney touch to every gathering. Whenever you're in need, you can always count on Cortney to be there, a true pillar of support. I feel incredibly honored to call her my friend, and her presence in my life is a true blessing.
Bridesmaid: Mayra
Cortney is such a bright light in my life and I am beyond grateful for her friendship. She has an absolutely magical quality that is both magnetic and infectious. I’m amazed how she’s able to retain this child-like wonder and free spiritedness yet lead a company like a bomb-ass boss lady!
I can’t get enough of her playful spirit— she brings out the kid in me. When she gets that glimmer in her eye and a knowing look, she might inspire a bit of mischief, in the best way.
What I love most about her though is her huge heart—loving, generous and compassionate. She has shown so much kindness to me, Sophia and Luca. She is more than a friend, she’s like family. I couldn’t be more happy for her and Rich to have found love.
Family
Mother: Shelia
My life began with your birth, you are my treasure. You have made me laugh, cry, hugged me tight, seen me fail, cheered me up, kept me on my toes and have driven me crazy, at times.
I’m not sure what I did to deserve you but I thank God everyday for you. You are wonderful, strong and I couldn’t imagine my life without you.
I love you more, and I don’t mean I love you more than you love me. I mean I love you more than any bad days in the past or ahead of us, I love you more than any differences we have had or will ever have. I love you more than any obstacle that may try to come between us. I love you the most forever.
Father: Ben
Cortney and I have a relationship that is every father’s dream. I have been lucky enough to have had by my side in many crazy fun filled adventures for many years and has been my # one supporter for as long as I can remember.
Not only is Cortney a beautiful, smart and fearless young woman, her heart is full of Love, Joy and Happiness. She wakes up early every morning happy and ready for the challenges of life. If you know Cortney you know her life skills are trumped by none, ready for every challenge and intimidatated by none.
I welcome Rich to my family, the only man I have ever seen work harder than me and embarrassing enough picked up a shotgun for the first time and out shot me in sporting clays. Rematch!!
I love you guys, get ready for a great life together!!
