Sarah is my younger sister and I couldn't think of anyone more perfect to be my maid of honor. I am so proud of the woman Sarah is becoming. Sarah and I have always been incredibly close. I know I can go to Sarah about anything and she will truly understand me. There is something special about a sister bond and I am so thankful to share that with her. Sarah is incredibly intuitive, passionate and considerate. Sarah is the type of person who loves listening to others, but is not afraid to let you know how she feels about a topic. She is full of knowledge and loves educating others. Sarah is my BEST friend and cannot wait to share this memorable day with her as my maid of honor.

What can I say about not only my brother, but my best man! He has always been there for me and I couldn’t have a better brother. He has always been my biggest supporter and I know that he always will be. Noah is incredibly smart and innovative. He always finds a way to make things work and it is always done the “Noah” way, sometimes this is a good thing and other times in a stubborn way. He has inspired me to look at things in a different perspective which has benefited me in more ways than I can count. He is the best person I know and is deserving of being my best man.

Sierra is one of closest and oldest friends. It doesn't matter how much time goes by, we are just as close as we were on day one. We initially met in high school when we played volleyball together roughly 12 years ago! We are both very adventurous people and love traveling to new places and meeting new people. We have so many memories that I will cherish forever. I know I can always rely on her to try out a new place or experience - she is always along for the ride! Sierra is one of the most kind hearted & selfless friends that I have. She goes above and beyond to make things special and memorable and I am so thankful to have her by my side and for our 12 years of friendship.

I met Jeff right when Alex and I just started dating. At the time he was a skinny young kid that I could push around no problem. Six years later and he has grown stronger than me while I have gotten more out of shape. Jeff has and will always be there for Alex, and I respect the bond that him and his sister have. Jeff is the only other person, besides myself, that can really get under Alex’s skin so I feel we share a unique skill together. I look forward to having someone so caring and loyal to call a brother.

Lauren and I have been friends for 13 years. We met playing basketball together our freshman year of high school. Growing up together, Lauren and I would do everything together. Often times that resulted in dragging her along for the ride even if she didn't want to. We have had numerous adventures, mishaps, and lessons learned and I wouldn't have it any other way. I am so thankful I had a friend like Lauren growing up. Lauren is incredibly smart, witty and easy going. I am so thankful I had a friend that was willing to experience anything and everything with me including being a bridesmaid for this special day!

Zach is my oldest friend, he was the only person that lived next to me when I grew up. We would spend many hours playing video games, having heated debates and talking about life. Zach and I were together every step of the way from elementary school through high school. Zach and I went our separate ways for college yet always stayed in touch. No matter how much time passed it never felt like we were drifting apart... we would just pick back up where we left off. He always has a smile on his face and is a personality that you would always want around.

Danni and I met when we played college basketball together at Lawrence Tech University. I don't think I could have made it through basketball without her! We were each others rock and I couldn't be more thankful. Danni is incredibly goofy, determined and inspiring. Danni is the type of person who can make anyone and everyone laugh. Her will to reach her goals and help others is inspiring. I am so thankful college basketball brought us together and for all of our memories of being a young (and dumb) college student!

Rodrigo and I met in Atlanta. He works with Alex at Honeywell and he would always tag along when we hosted events or explored Atlanta. Rodrigo would be my date to the movies when Alex wouldn’t want to see what I wanted to. He is one of the most charismatic and adventurous people I have ever met. He has been helping teach me Spanish and just recently went to Puerto Rico with Alex and I. He is always down for a party, will make friends no matter where we go and will be the first person on the dance floor!

Cindy and I met at Michigan State University. We were both in the same Master's Program in Human Resources and Labor Relations. I couldn't have gotten through graduate school without her! Cindy and I always worked together on studying for exams or completing classwork. Little did we know, we would end up working for the same company (Honeywell). We moved to Atlanta together to begin our careers and I am so thankful I had a best friend to explore a new city with. I can always rely on Cindy to go to brunch and then go to the pool afterwards to tan. I am so happy that Cindy gets to stand by my side!

Luke is one of my best friends and we have been inseparable for years. He is my partner in many things ranging from fishing and golfing to gaming. He has been a consistent source of fifty dollars from fantasy football every year which has always been appreciated. He was a critical resource for me when preparing to propose and will always be important to me throughout any other life decision. I always enjoy our fishing trips and golf outings, he is the perfect plus one for anything.

Brenna and I met at Lawrence Tech University where she played college volleyball and I played college basketball. Brenna is the type of person that can sit in a room full of strangers and she will become best friends with each person as well as know their entire life story. Brenna is amazing at what we call "chit chatting". With that being said, we have had countless of talks about life that I am incredibly thankful for. Brenna is also the best road trip partner. We have had many road trips and adventures across the country! Brenna is personable, selfless and is always down for a good time. I am so thankful for our friendship, our chit chats and our memories made. If you're up for the challenge... you should challenge her to a shot gun contest (my money is on Brenna!).

Brodie and I went to LTU together where we both studied architecture. We would spend countless late nights going over our projects in studio. He is someone that I could be brutally honest with and he would understand that it came from a good place and made sure to return the same criticism. He is one of the kindest and most reliable people you can meet. Brodie also moved from Michigan to Atlanta and got a job at the same first that I was working at. I had the pleasure of working with him both in college and professionally. There is no one I would rather work with.

Phil unfortunately couldn't be here for the wedding as he and my sister will be having a baby close to the wedding date. Phil will be staying home in Oregon with baby Henry. Alex and Jake want to extend our love and gratitude to Phil and our future nephew!

Alex and Jake want to extend our love to our grandma Flo. She unfortunately is unable to travel down to Savannah but we know she is sending her love all the way from Indiana. She has been an incredible support for Jake growing up and will be dearly missed. Much love Grandma!
