Nate has been my best friend from when I was a teenager and constant stage companion. We went from arguing backstage about literally anything (we actually had people worried about us) to dodgeball buddies to basketball teammates to long-distance friends, pining away over each other. He and his brother Jason were my first two real friends in my teenage years, and I will never forget them. In an odd twist of fate, this best friend of mine is getting married three months after me. Alamogordo, New Mexico

Morgan is my "Faroomie", or Forever Roomie. She has impacted my life, in a good way! :) She has helped me to be more confident in myself, call people out on things, and how to have 'brows on fleek' and bright red lipstick...or lipstain… what's the difference, really? I am a better person because of my forever friendship with her. I am highly honored to have her stand next to me in this monumental and sacramental moment of my life.Tulsa, Oklahoma

Larissa is like my mom/sister/friend. She's sewn me a snowman sweater and fixed my cabinets! She has helped me with my hatred of flowers. I'm currently wearing a floral shirt. Enough said. AND We can always be found 3 hours into conversation, eating guac, or roaming around the nearest thrift store...sometimes at the same time. <3 Bartlesville, Oklahoma

Justin was one of the first friends I made at college. We've worked long night shifts together at Doc's and had deep and meaningful conversation even later than that. Justin actually thought Billie and I were dating before we were. Apparently, we worked so well together, he said. Justin was also the second person I told (Ruthie was the first) that I had a crush on Billie. We were closing that night at Doc's and talked even later about my feelings and a game plan for when I finally got the guts to ask her out. The next day, Billie and I had a conversation about relationships. Justin claims that it was because of our conversation. Justin was the first person Billie and I told we were dating. He then mercilessly teased us about how we started for months afterwards. Justin is, in fact, single. Festus, Missouri

Chip, is well, Chip. My roommate for two and a half semesters, he’s always willing to have a nerdy talk. We have had many a late night talk solving existential questions and running to get snacks to Wal-Mart. He is single, ladies. Henryetta, Oklahoma

Kat was one of Spenser's friends who was hoarded around the accompanist's piano, to which I responded with disgust, the first day I met her ( and him <3 )… Let's just say that I overreacted a little bit that day :) After watching Inside Out together, our friendship really hit it off! We realized that we have a mutual love of psychology, swing dancing, and lipstick. Kat is always up for an adventure, and consistently brings a unique light to my life. :) Gresham, Oregon

Samuel was my friend at the Abbey, where we bemoaned Calvinism, poor music, and other evils of the world. He was always willing to run to a coffee shop or escape into the mountains when we had had enough of other people. After we attempted to start recycling at the Abbey (and also almost got arrested), we became inseparable. In case you were wondering, he is single. Salem, Oregon

Ruthie was the bridge between Spenser and I from friends to dating. She was the one that I called minutes after I was enlightened by Spenser's obvious reaction to my sheer presence in Docs one evening. Ruthie is the one who rehearsed mock interview-like conversations (for hours) with me before I felt I could bare my feelings to Spenser. She is also the first to call us 'betrothed', as we all desired to redefine the terms girlfriend/boyfriend, and now... we are officially betrothed. Wilmore, Kentucky

Micah is my "best friend from Canada." He and I were neighbors at the Abbey and slowly developed a very close friendship after he bruised his foot. He introduced me to the wonders of coffee and taught me how to explore a new place. He is also single, ladies.
