Kylee is my younger sister, & built-in best friend. I remember being SO excited when I found out I was going to be a big a sister! Ten years apart, but we have always been close. Now that we're older, that age gap feels much smaller, & I'm so grateful our sisterhood has evolved into a friendship. I feel so lucky to have my sister walk with me today & through life. BEST FRIENDS FOREVER - SISTERS FOR LIFE - MUAH ;)

Billy and I first became friends in third grade as part of a group that played wall ball (I’m not allowed to say the real name) at recess every day. Almost three decades later, our friendship has naturally grown into a true kinship, and as we all know, you can’t force kinship. It's also worth noting that Billy accidentally played a pivotal role in Caitlyn and me being together. I’m truly grateful to have him standing by my side on my wedding day.

Shannon is my cousin & partner in crime. We grew up like sisters & would spend weeks at each others houses. We even have our own laugh language that no one will ever quite understand. She has & will be a part of every chapter of my life. We would play out stories with our Barbies of each other’s future weddings! Well my time is here now - I can’t wait to be a part of hers next!

Eric is my older brother. Two words to describe our childhood: wiffle ball. We'd each create our own fictional players with names, batting stances, and stats. What I’m only now realizing is that they never played against each other, they played together against a team of anonymous players that were great at lobbing pitches right down the middle. I’m always happy to have Eric on my team.

Amanda is a long-time best friend! Being the heart of the friend group, & the unofficial host of our teenage years, she somehow kept us in line, or at least laughing while we weren't. She made our wild high school crew a family. Amanda - silly, wild at heart, endlessly chatty... & forever loyal to mac & cheese or tenders whenever we go out.

Craig is my younger brother. I spent almost eight years as the baby of the family until he turned me into a middle child, thanks Craig. That eight‑year gap was rough growing up, mostly for him, sorry Craig. But as we’ve grown older, the age gap seems to become smaller. He has graduated from being an annoying little brother into being a true friend.

Melanie has been a best friend since elementary school. She taught me things (72mph's the sweet spot for the highway, don't be scared to drive over 65), & motivated me (she's most likely the reason my room was clean or my car was vacuumed). I'll quote myself from a Facebook post from 2011 - "I like who I strive to be when we're best friends" We've built many inside jokes (what's a goon to a goblin?) by remaining a constant in each others lives!

Can I explain what Jake means to me in the amount of space allotted? Not a chance. But I'll try. Jake is the kind of guy that you don't become friends with, you meet him and then find out you're already friends. We went from playing CYO basketball together in elementary school, to spending a week and a half together in Europe after college. He's also the person that finally got me into golf. And have you seen those calves?!

Jessica was a high school neighbor, turned best friend, turned roomie for a time. I was ALWAYS at her house when she lived across the street from me. We were always kind of a package deal. Her plans were my plans & vice versa. She has always been the one with the BEST advice & has the biggest heart for her friends! Also, she's low-key HILARIOUS!

My introduction to Justin (tally) was playing against him in Little League when he hit a home run off Steve Marble that landed on the picnic table beyond the left-center field fence at the Field of Dreams. A year later, in seventh grade, we had classes together and became friends. He's been one of my closest friends ever since. He's also my tallest friend.

Our absolute FAVORITE niece! (we can say that because she's the only one) Besides being the BEST big sister to Brady - Kira was the first to make us "Auntie" & "Uncle". It has been heart warming to watch her grow & we are so excited for her to be apart of our special day. SPOILER ALERT: Be on the lookout to catch a glimpse of Kira & I's MATCHING shoes!

Our absolute FAVORITE nephew! (We can say that because he's the only one) Brady boy is so SWEET, loves his race cars, & his yard tools. He may be the tiniest member of the wedding party, but he'll for sure have a big impact. If anyone's going to steal the show, I'll let it be Brady in his little blue suit!

Brett is my older brother. Driving in our Couzy Coupe with our two bunnies ‘Pinto’ & ‘Freckles’ to driving to high school jammin’ out to Guster! I remember sitting at lunch my freshman year, & Brett (a senior) coming over to my table to say “hi” to my friends & I. SO cool. He is someone I’ve always looked up to & been proud of. One of these days Brady will sneak into Kira's room & whisper "ya wanna wake up, & watch tv??" like I did. It's so special to have Brett marry us - it felt like the most natural choice.

Lincoln takes his role very seriously — spreading joy, easing stress, & delivering perfectly timed cuddles. Though he won’t be there in person, he’ll be with us in every way that matters.
