As most of you know by now, this is my sister, Heli. If you have known us for a while, then you know that we are attached at the hip. She has always been my best friend and my rock. She is the first person I turn to when quite literally anything happens in my life. I wouldn't be who I am today without her. It is an honor for her to be standing by my side.

Chelsea is not my sister by blood, but she is my sister by heart. We have convinced nearly everyone that we are actually related at this point. She has been a real ride or die and has stuck with me through many embarrassing years of my life. She is the definition of what everyone should look for in a best friend. My life would not be the same without her in it. My best girlie for life, I love you dearly.

Andrea, also known as Andy Pandy Bear, is married to my first cousin, Mikey (our officiant). She has become one of my dearest friends and confidant. Andrea has been in my corner since the first day I met her. She fit right into our family as if she had always been there. I can't imagine life without her now. She is someone who I can always lean on and go to for advice without any judgement. She is one of the best girlies and I am so grateful to have her stand with me on this day.

Keyshla is my sister-in-law. She is the most soft spoken woman I have ever met in my life but do not let that fool you. She puts the sass in sassafras. She is kind, beautiful, smart and truly one of the best mothers. She has given me the most beautiful nephews and nieces I could ever ask for. She may not know it, but I truly look up to her and the way she effortlessly glides through life.

Taylor is my soon to be sister-in-law. Taylor has welcomed me with open arms since the first day Codie brought me home. She has been someone I look up to both as a mother and as a wife. I am truly blessed that God has given me another sister to lean on.

Audrey, married to my first cousin, Joe. Once again, fitting into our family like she had always belonged. My cousins are some really lucky guys to have such amazing women standing by them. Audrey is truly the most kind hearted and outgoing woman. She is fierce, she is graceful, she is beautiful and what an honor it is to have her stand with me.

Arianna, also known as YaYa, is Chelsea's 'little' sister. This is something that me and Arianna have always had in common. This girl has truly untapped strength and determination. She is always making me laugh with her crazy stories as she enters into adulthood. It has really has been an honor to watch her grow up into the beautiful woman she is today and I'm lucky to haver her stand with me.

Aria, also known as Aria Paria. Aria will always hold a very special place in my heart. She is my eldest niece. I remember the first time I held her in my arms and thought to myself how lucky I am to be her Tia. I love this little girlie with all of my heart and I couldn't imagine getting married without her standing up with me.

Jake has been one of my best and closest friends for the past 10 plus years. Although I did not like him when we first met, I quickly realized how dumb that was. He and I grew very close over the years and he is always a person I can turn to for advice or to cheer me up with his random but funny conversations.

Neal is not just a best friend, he is my brother. There is never a dull moment when he is around because he bring so much joy and energy into the room. I am blessed to have him standing with me on an unforgettable day.

Tristan, one of my little (big) brothers, is a very hard working, caring and loving person even tough he puts on a tough guy front. He is extremely driven and would drop anything to be there to help no matter what time of day it is. To have him stand by my side is an honor.

Jordan, although he may be quiet most of the time, he is a very funny and loving man who always knows how to have a great time. I am lucky to have him as my little (big) brother and standing with me in our special day.

Tucker, my youngest brother, is a driven and hard working young man that I am very proud of. It has been an honor watching him grow up into the man he is today. He is headed for many great things in life and to have him stand with me on this day means the world to me.

Jack is not a man I can describe in a few words. Those who know Jack will completely understand. But, what I can say is that he is a caring friend that would give you the shirt off his back. I am lucky to have him come into my life and continue to support me no matter what.

Luke, my brother-in-law, I would say he is lucky to have me as HIS brother-in-law but it is honestly the other way around. Not only is he a goof who will always have you laughing, he is a perfect example of how to be a good husband and father.

Braden, it all started with the final question of my "interview" when he asked me what kind of beer I drink. Even though I did not give the answer he was looking for, I knew we were going to have a great friendship outside of work. I am grateful to work with him every day but, I am even more grateful to have him as one of my closest friends.
