Dana is Anna’s cousin! We have always been close but our relationship changed from role model to best friend pretty naturally in the last few years. I’ve gotten to look up to Dana as she became a Chiropractor, a wife and a mother ( TO THREE). I strive to be half the woman she is. I dont know how she does it but she makes it all look easy! I knew a MOH role was something she could easily handle and she’s crushing it!!

Jess is Anna's cousin! From role model, to therapist, to best friend Jess didn't miss a phase of Anna's life. From a young age, Anna wanted to be just like her super cool cousin Jess. All the way from childhood to going to the same college, Temple University! Jess has always been the rock to our whole family. Shes been the shoulder to cry on and the one to tell us when we had to suck it up and get our shit together. Still as an adult I look up to her!

Marlee is Anna's sister. As the two have very similar personalities you can imagine how life in the grande house was growing up! Once the fighting stopped, they joined together and became unstoppable(we got everything we wanted). Anna and Marlee spent hour choregraphing songs that they downloaded to their ipods off limewire to then preform the masterpieces. Luckily for Marlee's husband stepped in and Anna was humbled by her falling in love and becoming the most amazing wife. Marlee tasked Anna with settling down by her wedding as Anna was her MOH and had a plus one. Anna not only completed the mission but was also 7 months pregnant with Cooper! Marlee then blessed us with her beautiful baby girl Quinn a year later!

Savannah has been Anna's best friend since EIGHT years old. From bonding over being the only third graders that owned heals and having matching Coach bags to getting married and having babies. Our friendship never once skipped a beat. Whenever one of us needed someone you would find the other by their side. I wish I could put into words how thankful I am for our friendship!

Bri is Anna's soon to be sister-in-law! Anna and Bri have known each other for years because of Anna and Brenna being friends through high school. Anna was always around for the parties and the chill hangouts at Bri's house. Getting to watch her soon to be nephews grow up Anna felt like family before even officially meeting Chuck. Luckily this made becoming sisters easier.. too easy because now Bri and Anna see each other AT LEAST once a week and text morning to night. I cant wait to raise our boys into incredible cousins and have the best family trips ever.

Brenna and Anna have been friends since high school. No matter what Brenna stuck with Anna. The hardest days of high school I remember always being able to rely on Brenna to stand by my side. After highs school we stayed close, celebrating our birthdays and raising her sons Kingston and Kash. If it wasnt for Brenna I would have never met Chuck

PARTNER.IN.CRIME. broke a window. we did that. partied with people way too old for us to be hanging out with. did that too. fighting.. yeah. There was nothing we weren't going to do if we were standing side by side. Cheyenne has brought out the best of me through all stages of life - from situations in HS to the day I went to go hangout with Chuck for the first time AND she even got a nursing job the month Cooper was due which then led to her being in the hospital the day he was born! I am so excited to have Chey by my side for one of the most important days in my life.

Marisa is Anna's cousin! At family parties if you saw one of us you saw the other. Marisa and I have always been so similar that we started getting the same Christmas gifts but in different colors or as different princesses! Everyone knew the deal! She'll tell you she looked up to me as her older cousin but truthfully she's kept me up with all of the cool trends. Shes been my side kick since we were little and I wouldnt have it any other way!

Anna's bestie boop! Sometimes a person walks into your life at the most perfect timing and that person is Jackie for Anna! We instantly clicked and became best friends a little over two years ago. We had our boys 8 months apart and we are so excited to raise them together.
