Tash is my day 1. Not many people can say they have had a best friend for 25 years and I don't take that for granted. I came home from the first day of Kindergarten saying she was my best friend and have never looked back. She is fiercely loyal and one of the strongest women I know. We have been through every season of life: Elementary school, the awkward teenage years, college, to now adulting. God blessed me so big with her and having her stand by my side as my matron of honor was one of my easiest wedding decisions.

Another decade long friendship that I cherish! I met Lauren on the first day of a college orientation. We became roomates when we were sophomores. She is a part of so many of my best memories at OBU and the years following. Lauren has a way of bringing me out of my shell and getting me to let my hair down. She is my go to for all things Disney, Razorback sports, concerts, and fashion. She is one of the funniest, smartest, and most determined people you will meet.

Brooke was a work friend that quickly became so much more. She was placed in my life at the exact moment I needed her. She is my prayer warrior, go to for advice, and come as you are friend. She is selfless and loves like Jesus. I got to walk beside her and her husband as they were going through the adoption process. That process brought the two most amazing kiddos into my life that I now call my niece and nephew by love.

I put Payton and Carson together because to me... they are the best packaged deal there is. Cousins that have always been more like sisters. We bonded over being "the coach's kids" and were always the three musketeers at any family event, even when one of them cracked my "special egg" at Easter one year (a running family joke). We have grown up together and I know they will always have my back. They have become amazing wives and mothers and I am so proud of them. We have always said we would be in each other's weddings, and now it is my turn!

Scarlett is Colton's niece that I immediately made a connection with. I love the weekends that I get to spend in Missouri with her where we like to cook together, play games, and she updates me on life. She is so wise beyond her years and carries herself with a poise and presence that I have seen in very few eight year olds. I can't wait to watch her grow up and take on the world, because she is going to do BIG things!

The guy that has been there since I made my debut to the world. From some my earliest memories of watching VHS tapes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to using mom and dad's bed as a WWE ring. I can remember being known as Clint's little brother or "Little Clint" by a select few, and while I didn't appreciate that last title growing up, I am now so proud to be Clint's brother. He has always been a constant I could count on, gave words of wisdom when I asked for guidance, and has been one of the best role models I could ask for in my life. I've always known Clint would be my best man at my wedding. I was his best man at his wedding and now it has come full circle. The question is : will his speech be more of a toast of celebration or a roast?

Adam and I first met at the gym. Adam was one of the fitness trainer's there and I was a ball of Play-Doh looking for a way to start my fitness journey. What started out as small talk between sets quickly changed to deep discussions of philosophy, life, and swapping jokes. Adam has also been a light in my walk with Christ. He led to my church home, prayed with me through some of my most challenging periods, and helped me understand what it means to have a relationship with Jesus. Adam is kind, supportive, and is always down for some Call of Duty. The celebration of the big day wouldn't be complete without him.

Kevin and I first met long ago at a New Year’s party and have continued to grow our friendship ever since. Kevin is one of the kindest, most light-hearted people you could ever hope to meet… even though we often joke on how he’s the “jerk” of the group. What I appreciate most about our friendship is while we may have to go a long period between seeing other, we always make up for lost time when we are together. I’m proud to call Kevin one of my best buds.

James is one of my longest friendships dating back to the awkward middle school years. From surviving school, games of Mario Party getting too personal, and now into adulthood, our friendship has always remained. I’ve always appreciated his kind heart, sense of loyalty, and ability to take a Smash Brothers beat down.

Kaleb is my soon to be nephew by love. Kaleb and I quickly bonded over our fondness of Mario and Pokémon. It has been awesome to learn more about Kaleb. He is a bright young man with unbridled enthusiasm and curiosity. I am excited to see where he will go in life!
