When people find out there is a six year gap between Nicole and I they assume we're not best friends. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Over the years, Nicole and I have shared it all. I still remember the days we would spend hours playing in our playhouse, or when we would sneak upstairs Christmas morning before waking mom and dad to peek at what Santa brought. Growing up, we would put on our dance costumes and make up our own dance recitals. This still happens today, when she tries to teach me hip-hop moves. There's not a day that goes by that we are not sharing something, no really, she borrows my clothes daily. I can't wait to continue sharing as she stands next to me on Brad and my special day.

Was my roommate throughout college. Adam and I bonded over McDonald's, pizzas, grilling, and making fun of each other. He makes it pretty easy with his horrible dancing and natural clumsiness. Adam can turn anything into a debate, even about how big of a Vikings fan I am. Which we concluded is not a huge fan but a big fan. Adam and I have spent many late nights talking about our futures' including how my kids will have to call him "Uncle Adam." He has been invited to the Ozarks and other Chase events, quickly becoming a family friend. If you don't know Adam, he will be the one tripping over himself on the dance floor.

Even though she's Brad's sister, we have a special sisterly connection. From the moment I met her, I knew we would click. She's the go to fashionista, trendsetter, and has some wicked good dance moves. You never know what she's going to say, but regardless she's probably the second funniest person I know, just behind her brother.

Dillon was my roommate throughout college. Dillon is not a man of many words, but when he does say something you can be sure it is going to be something good. Dillon and I would get very competitive with our ping pong kitchen table in college. We would record every win/loss for the whole year. Dillon won by a long shot. I do not know a more witty or brighter person than Dillon.

We knew each other well before Brad and I started dating. We spent many weekends together as we were both high school wrestling cheerleaders. Megan is the biggest cheese lover I know, which is one of my favorite reasons to hang out with her. One thing I've learned over the years, is that the Chase's are pretty aggressive drivers in general. But Megan takes it to a whole 'nother level. I've never seen someone parallel park faster. Can't wait to make things official and become a Chase sister.

Is my brother in law through marrying my sister Megan. Taylor could not fit better into this family. He is just as good looking as the rest of the Chase's. I knew Taylor was something special when he beat me in Mario Kart, which never happens. Taylor is the brother I have been begging for my whole life.

There wasn't a day in college where someone didn't ask if Sara and I were twins. Freshman year of college, we meet in Dr. Gray's science class. That was my favorite college class, but not because I like science. I never knew I could laugh so much while learning about rocks and clouds, but would also make a life long friend. Sara would always be down for long hikes across town for ice cream, and never turned down a binge watching of Gossip Girl.

Ty is a friend that dates back to highschool. For those of you that do not know Ty, he is king of random sports/skills, which fits right in my repertoire as well. We are best known for our epic ping pong shots and unicycling videos in high school. The quirks continued as college roommates with hand made blow darts, basketball trick shots and being four time intramural ultimate frisbee champs, sweeping our college career!

Was a gift from my sister Samantha and his sister Paige. They set us up as roommates when Colin was transferring to ISU. Colin was the worst/best college student with his weekend studying, consistently working out, and preparing fancy meals - Seriously dude, eat the week old pizza like the rest of us! Colin knows all the words to almost every country song. He brought the masculinity of our house up a few notches with his grizzly beard.

I met Erin freshman year of college, and my life changed forever. I still remember the day Sara and I set off the smoke detectors and Erin slept through it all, saying that if there was a real fire, we would have come and got her. There's no better cuddler or person to eat pizza with than Erin. I admire her adventurous spirit, except when that means she moves to San Diego.

Kaitlyn and I became fast friends in high school through volleyball. I have never met someone with a bigger heart. She gives the best life advice and always has an ear ready for me to talk off. We can go weeks without speaking, but when we meet up it's as though we just saw each other. There's nothing I look forward to more, than our shopping excursions in Kansas City.

Alejandro and I were hanging out day 2 of college. We played 1 on 1 basketball, after I had talked up my game to him enough. He ended up beating me and put me in my place. We hung out almost every weekend throughout college. Alejandro is the most reliable person I know when it comes to picking up their phone. I would call him up on the weekends and he would never turn down an invite. He became very acquainted with our couch; it was basically his second bed.

Is quickly climbing the ranks in the family as my sister Samantha's boyfriend. Ross has been apart of many family events, specifically this last family Christmas. Ross jumped right into all the board games, gift exchange, and was immediately cracking jokes at the sisters (one of my favorite things to do). He puts up with our bad jokes, obnoxiousness, and bottomless snacking.
