We have a huge wedding party. We love all of them though, and are so happy to get to share our special day with them.
Wedding party members: please send Rachael your picture if you would like it added to the page.
Chrissy is Rachael's 20-year-old sister and one of her closest friends. They have been through a lot together - from what seemed like a million moves and school changes to playing Jurassic Park tag in the backyard as kids. Even though Rachael might be a little jealous of her little sister's amazing natural red hair, the two are still the best friends and will always share the common goal of one day owning an authentic Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler.
Chrissy is currently studying to be a physical therapy assistant at Highland Community College in Freeport, IL and is planning her own wedding as she recently got engaged to marry an awesome guy, Micah, who is serving our nation in the military.
Anastacia, or as well all call her, Staci, is Rachael's 17-year-old sister and will be her second maid of honor. With two such wonderful sisters, how can a bride only pick one?! Staci is Rachael's super-genius sister, and is currently a sophomore in college despite her young age. Staci has always been there for her older sister, even though it sometimes meant playing the "bad guy" in the make-believe games of their childhood.
Staci is currently studying political science at Highland Community College, and will probably go on to be the youngest winner of the Nobel peace prize.

PS...The bride is really happy she gets the coolest niece ever for marrying David.
Sarah Lu is Rachael's youngest sister and was adopted from China in 2007 at age two. She is the member of the family with the most energy and sass, and is sure to be an energetic and adorable flower girl. Sarah Lu will be starting Kindergarten in the fall, but first she is excited to be a flower girl "princess" for her "twin" big sister jie-jie, Rachael.
Chayah is Rachael's "newest" sister, as she just came home from China this past January. Rachael is thrilled to have her new sister a part of the big day, and loves getting to know her new little sister. Chayah loves chips, strawberries, and Dora the Explorer and is also very excited to be a flower girl "princess" for the big day.

Elliot is David's yorkie-poo. He will be sporting a tux at the wedding as well.
PS: The bride would like everyone to know that if her dogs wouldn't eat everything and probably turn her dress into a paw-print mosaic, her 2 wonderful black labradors Wesley & Lilly would totally be there too.
