Johanna and Carly met at Sunday School when they were 5 at Gustavus Adolphus Lutheran Church and have been best friends ever since! Being a year older, Johanna has been Carly's rock and guiding force through life - doing all the big life things first (high school, college, getting married) and supporting Carly through every single up and down.

Diana and Carly met in 4th grade at Pillsbury Elementary School. The universe knew Carly didn't need biological siblings because it created Diana to be the sister she never knew she needed (or wanted ;). The two of them grew up a few blocks from each other and have supported, encouraged, cried, laughed, yelled, fist fought (Diana always won) and most importantly LOVED each other unconditionally throughout all the chaos.

Taylor and Carly met at Luther College their freshman year. It felt like they'd been friends their whole lives. Taylor's family became a second family to Carly during their time in college and the hilarious wild memories they share seem countless.

Carly did not expect to hit the jackpot on sister-in-laws when she started dating an only child! Turns out, Carly and Shane both grew up with cousins who were as close as siblings. We're so lucky to have Keirsten in our lives <3

Mary and Carly met in college. Mary is one grade younger but quickly became a staple member of the class of 2012 crew. Since graduating, Mary has become one of Carly’s soul sister friends. Every time Mary and Carly are together it’s a “laugh until you cry” or “cry until you laugh” situation.
