Our Wedding

I met Caroline on the first day of college. It was the start of freshman year at the University of Missouri. We were both in unfamiliar territory.&nbsp;Coming from Michigan, I knew no one at Mizzou. On the first day of school, I was determined to meet someone-anyone. I needed a friend. I made my way from oversized lecture hall to oversized lecture hall, feeling lost in the sea of faces. The last class of the day was my last hope-Spanish class.Spanish was different from my other classes. There were only about a dozen seats. I was ready to really make some new friends. I sat next to Caroline and said hello. That's all I really remember.&nbsp;About a week later, I noticed Caroline in another class. A large lecture hall. Sociology.&nbsp;She was sitting in the front row (nerd). Spanish was the next class to go to. I walked up to her after the class ended and asked if I could walk with her.&nbsp;"Sure, is it cool if my boyfriend joins us too?" she responded.Caroline and I were still fast friends. She, like me, came from out of state. We got lunch a few times after Spanish class. Eventually, she&nbsp;broke up with her boyfriend. I liked her- a lot. Things seemed to be lining up.&nbsp;In December of our Freshman year, I decided it was time to make my move. I invited Caroline to a party a friend was throwing. This was my chance to make a move. It was the end of the night. The stars were aligning. Everyone was gone besides her and I."Caroline, I'd like to kiss you," I&nbsp;said."No thanks," she replied.&nbsp;Instead of ruining things or making them awkward, this moment sent Caroline and I back to being "just friends". I figured that's the way it'd always be. The girl I had a crush on, who thought of me only as a friend.This is the way things were for another ten months. Until in the fall of our Sophomore year.&nbsp;It was then&nbsp;Caroline told me she liked me back, and told me she'd consider being more than friends.&nbsp;I had one shot. I&nbsp;didn't want to blow it.&nbsp;"I think we should just be friends, Caroline," I said.&nbsp;NOOOOOOOOOOOOWHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU BIG DUMB IDIOTHonestly, if you're still reading this, congratulations.&nbsp;The good news is I called Caroline shortly after that and told her I was stupid, and that I did like her. The rest is history.Caroline is my best friend. She makes me laugh, and laughs at the things I say, she holds me accountable, she shows me music, she pushes me, I push her. For the last four years, I couldn't imagine spending time with anyone else.I am so excited to spend my life with her.&nbsp;

My sister has grown up to be such a wonderful woman! She radiates the light of Jesus wherever she goes.&nbsp;I can't wait to have my first friend and only sibling by&nbsp;my side on this big day!&nbsp;

James is my best friend. We met in the fall of 2010 while preparing for our freshman year of football for the Canton Chiefs. Over the last decade, God has brought us together through friendship and awesome memories. James recently graduated from Spring Arbor University, and is pursuing a graduate degree at Asbury Theological Seminary in Kentucky. He has a beautiful wife named Jax, and they married summer '18.

Jake and I&nbsp;go back more than a decade. Living only two streets away, Jake and I&nbsp;grew up going back and forth to one another's houses. Our friendship is defined by football, friends, and family. Jake is finishing up his 5th year at Findlay University in Ohio, where he plays on the football team.&nbsp;

Jake Boucher

My very first friend in college. Cassi has stuck by my side through it all; she became family as we ventured through school and life together. We shared so many special memories and milestones- from being my 'mom' in Theta to&nbsp;being her maid of honor&nbsp;at her wedding.&nbsp;

Blaine, like Jake, is a neighborhood friend. Blaine and I&nbsp;will jokingly go back and forth with one another, and he's the friend that is always keeping things interesting. Blaine is finishing up school at Eastern Michigan.

Morgan (aka 'Morgo') is one of my most loyal and cherished friends. We started out as random roommates and ended up living together all but one semester at school. I still don't understand why she put up with me, but I can't imagine school without this best pal of mine.&nbsp;

Morgan Schlueter

Daniel was my first friend at Mizzou. We roomed together freshman year, and stayed close through our classes in broadcast journalism. Daniel is a caring friend, and always has time to hang out. Right now, he works as a sports reporter near his hometown of Brownsville, Texas. His only flaw is that he likes Ohio State

Daniel Esteve

Amanda isn't just a cousin to me- she's like an older sister. From doing my hair and makeup for every school dance, to being a close companion all throughout my life- I can't imagine this day without this role model standing at the altar with me!&nbsp;

Tatum is a cherished friend from college. We actually met through Adam- and grew to become close friends. She is a friend I can always count on, and challenges me to be my best self. She's someone both Adam and I look up to!&nbsp;

Logan and I went to high school together, and spent four years working with one another at 88.1 The Park, our high school's radio station. During this time, we co broadcasted countless sporting events, and for a while, Logan let me join him on his radio show. Logan graduated from Central Michigan University, and recently finished an internship for a music marketing group in Los Angeles.

Savannah (Sven) is another family member I can't imagine life without. My sweet cousin has been a companion to both my maid of honor and myself. She's a gem and brings life to every conversation. Her heart and dedication to pursue Jesus is inspiring!&nbsp;
