Tanya is my aunt, but we have grown up more like sisters! I still remember the times of playing mermaids in the pool and endless hours on the trampoline! To the many sleep overs we've had even into adulthood! Tanya is my rock and is one of the first people I go to for advice. She is the strongest person I know with the most passionate fire for those she cares for! Tanya is my role model and someone I have always looked up to! I cherish our nail days or just getting to hang out and watch a show! Her strength and loving heart make me so thankful I get to call her my aunt/sissy and now my maid of honor!

Bella and I have been friends since middle school! Our friendship started through music, and we grew to be inseparable. We were known as the emo kids at that time, but we never cared and took pride in expressing ourselves! I cherish our warped tour days to the many adventures and walks through our old neighborhood! She will forever be my favorite concert buddy and the person I ask first for a boba date! Bella is such a beautiful soul with an incredibly caring nature. From her love of animals to her magnetic laugh that can electrify a room and make anyone smile!

Avery and I met in middle school in the lunch room. I remember the day because we locked eyes and pointed at eachothers adventure time shirts, we were both obsessed with the show and instantly became friends! Avery is someone that you can have the deepest talks with and let your imagination free. My favorite memories are the many spontaneous adventures we've had to binge watching an entire show! To then deep diving on random topics and talking for hours about nothing! Avery is an incredibly bright and intelligent soul that can light up any room!

I met Sydney in freshman year of high school. We adopted her into our group of the emo kids, and since then we've stayed close no matter the distance or time that's passed! We can go periods of time busy with life and then pick up and talk like we just saw each other yesterday. Some of my favorite memories with Sydney are going for nature walks and bonding through art! She has an incredibly kind nature that makes you feel like you can be yourself no matter what! Syd is one of the most creative and sweetest souls I've ever known!

Kait has been a part of my family for eons and has always felt like a sister! Kaitlynn is the kind of person you can talk on the phone with for hours! She is an incredibly warm and inviting soul that makes anywhere feel like home! My favorite memories are the many bonfires we've shared and the parties shes hostest that feel like a night out of a movie! Kait has the biggest heart and im so excited to see her and my brother Christian as they become the best parents to my nephew Ezra!

Al is my soon to be sister in law! We knew of each other through school and never would have guessed how small of a world it could be til Simon and I started dating! My favorite memories are going to look at Christmas lights and our bar adventure in florida, where we found the biggest beach chair to take pictures on! She is one of the hardest working souls I know, and her determination inspires me each day! All the while adding adventure and liveliness to any room, especially when Kevyn comes out! I hope to be a sister she can count on and lean on throughout life.

Charly is another soon to be sister in law! She is an incredibly driven person and an amazing mother to our niece and flower girl Kinsley! Charly loves deeply and has always made me feel like family! One of my favorite memories with Charly is when she came to make Simon and I steaks for dinner when we moved into our first apartment and didn't have very much of anything. To the many adventures to see dinosaurs and meet the grinch with Kinsley! And I am so grateful to have her in my life as the authentic soul she is! I hope to be a sister she can look up to and to cheer her on throughout life.

Zoe is my last soon to be sister in law! I met Zoe when she was 13, and it has been such a joy to watch the minecraft obsessed girl I first met grow into the amazing woman she has become! Zoe is such a smart, caring, and laid-back soul! My favorite memories are adventures to the movie theater to just having her over to the house to hang out and do nothing! She has a huge love of animals and is studying marine biology, which I have no doubt she will do incredible on her journey! I hope to be a role model to her and help any way I can throughout life as a sister!

I’ve been friends with Sam since we were in the first grade. In the midst of an incredibly tough point in my life he and his mom took me into their home and allowed me a place to live. Without their help I could not be where I am today. They gave me the opportunity to stand next to the woman I love in front of our family. He’s my best man as he is a big reason that Audrey and I began our journey together so many years ago.

I met Kyle in the seventh grade but we didn’t become friends until our sophomore year. I asked him to come over and his mom made him after she discovered he had a new friend. Since that night we’ve been incredibly close. We practically lived at each other’s houses throughout high school, went through drivers ed together, and even had multiple jobs together.

Jacob and I became close after witnessing another kid throw a massive tantrum on our fifth grade field day. Both of us were impressed by his dedication to the games and the rage he displayed after the accusation of cheating. We’ve mainly bonded over our love of film and literature. As the years have gone on we’ve managed to keep up with each other despite the distance between us brought on by adulthood. He’s a fantastic friend and I look forward to any future discussions or debates on our differing opinions towards Jurassic Park III.

Sam and I met in the eighth grade. He asked to borrow a book for class and when I needed it he said it was his. We still laugh about how weird that situation was. We really became friends the next year and, despite how far away he can be at times, we’ve stayed as close as ever. He’s always willing to give any advice I’m searching for and is never more than a phone call away.

Dan and I met through Brewster. Though we didn’t speak much at first we became fast friends. He helped me immensely when my car broke down on my way to work. He just so happened to be passing by and was able to push my car to the side of the road while a waited for a tow truck. While it may have been a simple gesture it was done by somebody who barely knew me and only wanted to help.

My soon to be brother in law. Getting to know Christian over the years has been an absolute joy. It’s clear he cares deeply for the people he chooses to surround himself with. Whether intentional or not he’s become a role model for me. He’s an incredibly hard worker, a fantastic family man, and a wonderful brother to Audrey. I try to adopt as much as I can from him to continue to better myself and be the best I can be.

My future cousin in law. Payton and I quickly grew close after the discovery of our many similar interests. Superheroes, science fiction, video games, and collecting. He’s introduced me to plenty of new music, comics, and games while we’ve known each other. I’ve also been heavily invested in watching him grow as a person. He may be hard to get ahold of but he’ll never let you down when you need him. I hope that I am able to reciprocate his generosity and willingness to help.

My other future brother in law. He and Audrey have been very close for a massive chunk of their lives. I’m extremely thankful they’ve allowed me to become a part of them. He’s always picking up interesting new hobbies and has an interesting way of drawing you in whenever describing a new one. I always look forward to hearing about his many endeavors and I truly hope I can be a decent brother to him.
