When Alex proposed and the wedding planning began, I knew immediately who I wanted standing next to us on our wedding day. My little brother Noah. From being my little baby doll when he was born, to my roommate, the best Uncle in the world, and now one of my best friends. Knowing Noah is to absolutely love him. He has the biggest heart, unwavering support, and is one of the most genuine people I have ever known. There is never a dull moment when you are around, and you have a way of making an entire room laugh endlessly waiting for the next random Noah shenanigans. Looking back at the past 23 years of watching you grow into the man you have become today makes me so proud, especially seeing my boys look up to you the way that they do. Thank you for loving me and the boys as much as you do and for accepting Alex, Jonah, and Norah as family. I am so blessed to have you as my little brother and Man of Honor.

Standing tall beside me is not just any best man, but an 11-year-old maestro of mischief, a connoisseur of canvases, and a fearless aficionado of all things that go bump in the night. Yes, you guessed it right – my son Jonah, whose artistic talents could rival Picasso and whose knowledge of horror movies puts Stephen King to shame. It means the world to me to have my son as my best man in what will be the beginning of another chapter in our big book together.

From awkward teenage years to navigating the complexities of adulthood, we've shared countless memories and milestones. Hunter has always been there, not just as a friend, but as someone who understands me in a way few others do. I have the honor of calling him not just my groomsman, but the guy who has survived two decades of my questionable decisions and still chooses to stand by my side.

From meeting 15 years ago, Sami has been more than just a friend; she’s been my unwavering support, my confidant, my co-parent, my roommate, and my partner-in-crime. Through thick and thin, she has always believed in me and encouraged me to chase my dreams, to love myself, and to never give up no matter what life throws my way. I am honored to have Sami by my side as my bridesmaid. Her understanding for just how amazing Selena is, boundless kindness, and endless support make every moment brighter. Whether we’re singing Selena songs no matter where we are, having a girl's night, laughing until we cry, or going to each other when times are hard, she has a way of being the calm to my storm and being my safe place. Sami is not just my best friend; she is family. Her loyalty and love have shaped me into who I am today, and I can’t imagine celebrating this milestone without her. Here’s to many more years of friendship, laughter, and watching our families grow together.

From the days you raided my closet (you can finally admit it) to now standing by my side as a bridesmaid, our journey has been fully of sisterly fights, laughs, tears, and memories I wouldn't trade for anything. Who knew the girl who used to drive me crazy would become one of my closest friends that I can turn to for everything? Since you were little with your crying "sirens" or singing performances, you have been the life of the party. And then there was that time I showed up to drag you OUT of a party in high school :) Through all the crazy moments to one of my most cherished- watching my perfect nephew's birth. I am beyond proud of the incredible mother you are and how motherhood fits you so perfectly. You've grown from my annoying little sister; into someone I couldn't imagine life without. To my sister, my forever friend, and now my bridesmaid—I'm thrilled to have my partner-in-crime by my side for another amazing memory.

Forever thankful that Kolton was your favorite baby in your daycare room. If it weren't for you wanting to stay in touch because you loved him so much, we wouldn't be here today. Fourteen years of friendship that I wouldn't trade for anything. From first time moms trying to hold it all together, to navigating the wild world of raising our crazy boys, we've been through it all together. Through heartbreaks, more sleepovers I can even attempt to count, your amazing morning breakfast days, and our little chaos crew, we've been each other's safe place and have gone through so much together. You've been the calm to my contact anxiety, the one who makes me laugh when I need it the most, and the one who I have never had to question if I could run to. I am so thankful to have you standing with me on my wedding day. Your unconditional support and awkward forced hugs have gotten me through some of my hardest moments in life. Thank you for being my best friend, my coparent, my line dancing partner, and now, my bridesmaid.

Megan: My Best Friend and Soul Sister From the moment we began our friendship, I knew I’d found a friend for life. Through all of life’s highs and lows, you have been there—always intentional, supportive, and there with unconditional love. Whether we’ve been side by side or during times we lost touch because life was so chaotic, it’s like no time has passed, and somehow, we come back stronger. I’m beyond blessed to have you next to me on my wedding day—thank you for there to listen when I need it most, and reminding me of what's important . I hope you always know how truly appreciated and amazing you are!

Norah, our 8-year-old firecracker and dance floor diva is so excited to be our beautiful flower girl on our big day. Don't let her twirls and tutus fool you; this girl keeps up with her four brothers and is our little fishing sidekick. She's as fierce as her dance moves and as adventurous as her spirit, making her not just a daughter, but Amber's mini me in every way – from her sassy comebacks, her care of others, to her wanting to match outfits and have her hair done every day to be like Amber. She's a whirlwind of energy and has the biggest heart. We can't wait to see her light up on our wedding day wearing the "princess dress" she picked out herself because she was adamant she wanted to look like Amber. Amber loves having a little girl in our big bunch just as much as Norah loves having her to teach her all the "girly things" as Norah calls it. It means the world to me to see the bond my two girls have made and how much Norah looks up to my future wife.

We met back in the days when our idea of fun was chasing fly balls and convincing ourselves that hitting tennis balls while they were on fire was a good idea.. Little did I know, the guy who's been with me through more strikeouts on the baseball field than I care to admit and enough sunburns to make dermatologists cringe, would become like a little brother to me growing up. He is the one that always knows how to make me laugh no matter what is going on, and I am more than happy to call him one of my groomsman.

I have the privilege of having my groomsman, my best friend of over 25 years, and the guy who's probably heard more of my secrets than my therapist stand by my side on our big day. The best listener, the ultimate gaming rival ,and the guy who's stuck with me through thick and thin Matt has always been ready to go to war for me, even if that meant using his own eye as a weapon. I could not pick a better man to stand with up with me at our big day.

From the moment we met, it was clear that Kolton wasn't just here to blend in; he brought his own playlist and made sure everyone knew his favorite cars and motorcycles before dinner was ready. This kid shares my love in all music genres, from rap to country, and can rattle off car and sports stats like they're lyrics to his favorite song .Not only is he a basketball player on the court, but he's also a slam-dunk when it comes to humor. His wit and charm remind me of Matt's , who's been known to crack a joke or two – usually at my expense.

From the moment we met, it was clear that Jaxon wasn’t just another sports enthusiast – he’s a walking ESPN commentary, ready to challenge me to anything , and coach me through the finer points of Fortnite. He’s also the kid with the biggest heart, whether he’s killing it on the field or cheering us on from the sidelines with his trademark honesty. He keeps me on my toes everyday in the best ways.

With Maverick, there is never a dull moment. From the moment he wakes up until he falls asleep, he is going 100 mph. Whether he is asking a million questions on all things dinosaurs, bulldozers, or race cars or challenging anyone in the room to a math problem. He keeps us constantly laughing, has endless crazy sayings that never cease to amaze us and tends to think he is a teenager thanks to his older brothers. He is the perfect mixture of keeping us on our toes to having us wrapped around his finger. He has the sweetest heart and tells us daily "you're so beautiful", "you're handsome", and "you're my best friend!". We are so excited to see our littest man be a part of our wedding day. He will either be running, dancing, or asking questions down the aisle; but we wouldn't have it any other way.
