Kailee spent 25 years being my little sister and I am so excited to have her as my maid of honor. Kailee has been my ride or die, my ADHD twin and the best sister a gal could ask for. There was no question about having Kailee as my maid of honor and celebrating such an important day. I love you, Bev! Let's do the thing!

Henry and I met while I was working in D.C. in 2022. What started as a working relationship soon blossomed into a close friendship with us sharing gym workouts, daily (questionable) voice notes, and regaling stories of our worldwide adventures. Henry has become, not only, one of my closest confidants but a brilliant mentor and teacher.

Mariah and I met in 2016, when I moved across the room of our EMT class to sit next to her. She's been by my side through all the ups and downs, each of us moving out of Milwaukee, and everything in between. It was such an honor to stand by her side while she got married, and an even bigger honor to have her by mine. Mariah texted me on March 20th, 2023 saying "I just know you are going to marry him", and boy she was right!

Ben and I met in Phase Two training in 2018 before working together in 2021. Someone who is never afraid to speak their mind, Ben and I have shared laughs, funny stories, stress, and hardships, but we'd always be there for each other no matter where we were in the world. It was an honour to stand alongside you at your wedding, and I can't wait to have you stand alongside me at ours. If I ever found myself in the trenches, I would always want Ben beside me.

14+ years of friend between us, starting in baking school and growing into different careers. We've shared apartments, cats, laughs and cries together. There is no better friend to have than Alli, because no matter how much time passes, she still has my back. Poops and I are so excited to have you come visit and party like theres no tomorrow!

The reason for Bree and I meeting. Colin and I worked together in D.C. where Colin had the joy of dealing with me daily. One of my closest friends, we bonded over american football, where he took me to my first NFL game (WSH 23-21 GB - GO 'MANDERS), rugby, current affairs, and our shared propensity to drink copious amounts of Guinness.

Lizzie... theres no amount of words to describe how blessed I am to have her in my life. She was the keeper of the gender for my girls, she walked out of the hospital with me as I did the hardest walk, cuddled our sweet Smitty as he passed and so much more. She will drop whatever she is doing to help out a friend, and it's the biggest honor to have her by my side as I marry the love of my life.

Phil and I met in training in 2018 and have had shared similar paths until working together again in 2023. A broad Northern Irishmen who has more stories and knowledge than the Library of Congress. We frequently put the world to rights over a beer and there's no one I'd rather do it with.

Little Miss Nova.. what an amazing little girl. Nova has been such an important part of my life since before she was even born. Her mama is one of the greatest, strongest people I have ever met and she is continuing that greatness with the way she is raising Nova. Having Nova as our flower girl was something I dreamed of since the moment she was born. I am the luckiest to have this little girl in my life, and there to celebrate with us.

We are so excited to have Paul officiate our wedding. Paul, and bridesmaid wife Lizzie, have been such a big support system for us and share a love we are inspired by. Paul is someone knew we had to have to help celebrate our big day and having him make it official is a dream for us.
