With the enthusiasm of a labrador puppy and the confidence of a peacock, Rhoads wins over people like Lebron wins everything. People might call this "Rhoads' brother's wedding," and that's totally understandable.

Everyone needs to have that one friend that you call when you need to share exciting news, vent, or just need someone to give you a reality check. Emily is fun, loving, and spontaneous. There is never a dull moment when she is around

Always with a smile on her face, this friend of mine always sees the beauty in everything. Whenever you need an encouraging word Madi is the one you call. Her passion and love of life is contagious!

Will is a big thinker with a big brain and a true knack for conversation (word is he's single too). You don't walk 12 miles through Barcelona with someone and then not ask them to be your groomsman.

The best birthday present I ever got was in the 3rd grade when Katie moved into the house two doors down from me. So many of my childhood memories include Katie and I am so blessed that this childhood friend is still there for me today.

As my practice court partner, James might pull himself off this list in the coming months. Nonetheless, there are few people more enjoyable to be around or more loyal, but there are many that are taller.

I met Bailey soon after starting at Southwestern and we bonded over our mutual love of cake and wine. Pierce and I both consider Bailey one of our best friends and I am honestly shocked that we did not argue over her being a "groomsmaid" instead of a "bridesmaid".

When there's someone you've been kicked out of a kiddie pool and a bar with, you know you're meant to be friends.

Katy was the first friend I made at Southwestern. Because she encouraged me to join a sorority, I can also call her my sister. Katy made going to college in my home town one of the best experiences of my life!

The other half of the infamous 443 Steez rap duo, Bull's life commentary may induce fits of laughter years after the fact.

Animal lover and future lawyer, this sorority sister is not only my "grand-big", but is one of my greatest supporters. Her fun loving personality is the best!

When I found out that I was finally getting a girl cousin on my mom's side of the family I was so excited! It was like getting my own living baby doll.

People sometimes joke that Ryan runs on oil and that is unfair. Oil is inefficient and Ryan has no use for things that are inefficient. Ryan runs on pure, unadulterated excellence. He is a rare breed of law student that is both successful and humble. Most are neither of these things.

His west coast ways might be disturbing at first ("jeez can't a guy stretch" and "the warriors are my favorite team") but he's intelligent, funny, and dependable. Not only was he my first friend in law school, he also ran the Austin half-marathon with me.

I have loved getting to know Casey on my trips to Lawrence with Pierce and her adventure to Texas. Although she is Pierce's cousin, she is basically his twin (born only 3 days apart).

His laid back attitude and positive outlook get him into trouble sometimes; but he uses his debating skills honed in Scotland and Texas to extricate himself time and again. Don't cite history near him if you don't know what you are talking about, like I don't. Parker is a friend that reminds you not to buy into your own BS, not that I ever need reminding of that.
