Her laugh, her energy, her kindness and her heart are the things I love most about her. I am honored to call her my best friend and maid of honor. -A

We have so many fun stories of us growing up together and too many time of uncontrollable laughter. Kennedy is the brightest of humans and I love her to the ends of the earth. I am so thankful to call her "Bes Fran." -A

Kylee is the sweetest and most genuine person I have met. Her and I met a little later in life when I needed a friend. I was in a low and lonely part of my life and Kylee came along and made my life brighter. She helped me get to where I am today and I am so thankful for her. She is such a joy to be around and I love getting to spend time with her. The first time we ever met, we were wearing the same swimsuit at a pool party and it is history from there. Everyone needs a friend like Kylee in their lives. I am so thankful for her and have loved getting to know her the last few years. -A

Niki and I met when we were in high school. She lived in Switzerland but came to the U.S. for school abroad. Her and I instantly clicked and I knew that we would be besties.

I cherished every moment we got to spend together and the countless sleepovers. We trauma bonded and survived high school together. Our friendship just proves that distance means nothing when someone means everything. I am so thankful she is traveling across the world to be one of my beautiful bridesmaids. -A

Milla and I met in high school and were truly inseparable. Milla is from Germany and I love having a friendship with her, even if it is across the world. We had one year together in school and we got to learn so much about each other. Milla, Niki and I spent every free moment together. We joked that we were 3 peas in a pod and were like the Spice Girls. Milla was my go to for advice, for trauma dumping or just for a good time. She is truly beautiful inside and out and is incredibly fun to be around. I am so thankful that she agreed to stand up there with me in one of the most important moments in my life. I love Mills forever and always. -A
