My best friend and my big sister, some even think twin. Dani is my biggest cheerleader and never afraid to give me a little tough love. I couldn’t imagine my life or this day without her by my side.

Matt is my ultimate hype man. He is there to push me when I want to quit, and he levels me out when I'm overwhelmed. We are just as good at getting each other out of trouble as we are at getting ourselves in over our heads. He is my confidant, mentor, and best friend; and there is nobody I'd rather have with me as we embark on this next adventure.

Jackie and I have been best friends going on 17 years. We’ve spent many years as college roommates and moved to Kansas City together after graduation. She is my go to life of the party friend, and always down to do anything that will make a great story. Some say she is my long-lost sister, and I couldn’t imagine my wedding without her.

Kori and I were college friends who quickly turned best friends. She is the kind of person who will always go the extra mile for you. She is also the sole reason I’m a Jayhawk fan (sorry Nick). She is my adventurous friend never shied away from trying all the new local hot spots with me. It's only fitting that she'll join me as a bridesmaid on one of my greatest adventures.
