The closest thing to a sister I have. She's been my ride-or-die for as long as I can remember—the Blair to my Serena, minus the Upper East Side drama (well, most of the time). Loyal, stylish, and always just a call away, Alexis has been by my side through everything, and there’s no one else I’d rather have standing next to me on this day.

We met on the very first night of college and never looked back. From late-night talks to living together in the sorority house, Sammi has been a constant source of laughter, loyalty, and pierogi-sharing moments. She’s the kind of friend who becomes family—and I’m so lucky to have her by my side on this day (and at every pierogi night forever).

We may not always agree on politics (okay, we rarely do), but that’s never stopped Payton from being one of the most loyal and grounding people in my life. She keeps me thinking, keeps me laughing, and always checks the menu for nuts before I do. She’d take in Lucy without hesitation—just like she did with Chunk—and she absolutely would not let me embarrass myself looking like a tourist in Paris. She's the friend who challenges me and champions me all at once, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Blair is the life of the party—and the friend who never turned down a frat party (no matter the theme). She once slept on my dorm room floor for two weeks straight, and somehow made it feel like a slumber party instead of chaos. We’ve tanned side by side, clinked countless cocktails, and made a million memories along the way. She brings sunshine, spontaneity, and the best energy to every room—and I couldn’t imagine this day without her.

From taking shots of vodka in our wild days to navigating motherhood together, Sydney has been by my side through every chapter. She’s one of the few people who truly gets it—whether it’s putting up with Quinton’s antics or just hanging out and chatting for hours about everything and nothing. She’s steady, hilarious, and the kind of friend who grows with you in all the best ways. I’m so lucky to have her in my life—and in this moment.

My little cousin who keeps me on my toes—and somehow makes me feel both old and young at the same time. Whether we're deep in boy talk or I’m going through her phone (with full big cousin privilege), she brings energy, honesty, and so much laughter into my life. She’s grown from the kid cousin into one of my closest friends. And let’s be real... I’ll always be Grandma’s favorite (but she’s a close second).

My mini me and the undeniable star of everyone's show—because let’s face it, she’s the only girl in the room prettier than the bride (and I’m okay with that). A true mommy and daddy’s little girl, Lucy brings joy and sparkle to every moment. Watching her walk down the aisle will be one of the highlights of my day—and probably everyone else’s too.

Bobby has always been the best big brother—protective, reliable, and someone you can count on no matter what. We’ve spent summers watching Walker, Texas Ranger marathons and duking it out in epic airsoft battles. He was the first person I told about my daughter, Lucy, which means the world to me. Thanks for making me look like the poster child, too. Having Bobby by my side on this day feels like having family right where he belongs.

Cam isn't just a friend—he's like a brother. We’ve shared everything from tree stands to football fields. I taught him how to hunt and play ball, and he got his first deer with me—a moment we’ll never forget. Whether it's longboarding or riding dirt bikes, Cam somehow always finds a way for me to end up bandaged, bruised, or both. Loyal, fearless, and a little accident-prone, he's been there for all the wild memories, and I couldn’t imagine this day without him by my side.

Cole is one of my absolute best friends. We’ve spent countless nights sitting around a fire—yes, even when it was 90 degrees out—because that’s just what we do. We lived together in college, where we made some of the best (and probably dumbest) memories of our lives. Between the two of us, we’ve collected enough Zyn cans to build a house—insulation included. Loyal, hilarious, and always down for whatever, Cole's been through it all with me, and I wouldn't want to tie the knot without him standing next to me.

Matt and I go way back—college roommates sophomore year and partners-in-crime since freshman dorm days. One of my favorite memories? Singing Ray Gin at the top of our lungs like it was the national anthem. We shared our first beer together, and probably way too many after that. Now he's living it up in Nashville, and I’m already planning a trip to visit. Whether it’s music, memories, or mayhem, Matt’s been there since the start, and having him here means the world.

Owen's the kind of friend who’s been around long enough to have a highlight reel of memories—from the legendary hangouts at his childhood home (still one of the best basements ever) to ski trips in Pennsylvania and fishing trips up in Minnesota. Plenty of good catches on those trips—but I’m still the champion. He might’ve been a total goofball growing up, but that just made everything more fun. Through all the years and all the laughs, Owen’s been a solid friend, and I’m pumped to have him standing with me on this big day.

Cooper and I have been in each other’s lives since day one. From childhood memories to college workouts, we’ve shared just about everything—lifting sessions, Blackstone dinners, and way too many inside jokes. Back in our football days, he once looked at me mid-game and asked, “Do you ever get tired of tackling?” That pretty much sums him up—genuine, curious, and always good for a laugh. And then there’s our legendary claim that orange Mad Dogs taste just like orange juice. Cooper’s been by my side through every season of life, and there’s no one else I’d rather have in my corner on this one.

Wilson and I have been friends since middle school, sharing some wild moments—from hanging out at the barn and chasing sand crabs to sprinting down the dunes trying to escape what felt like a hurricane (pretty much). Whether it’s crazy adventures or just good times, Wilson’s been a solid friend through it all, and I’m proud to have him standing with me today.
