Eli has been my best friend for nearly 20 years (except for second grade)! We’ve grown up together, survived every awkward phase, and stayed by each other’s sides through it all. He was the person I frantically texted when Nathaniel first asked me out, and was the first one ready to interrogate him about dating me. He’s the person who knows every version of me, which makes having him as my Man of Honor that much more special.

Eric has been my best friend for nearly nine years. We met in AFJROTC at Battlefield HS and have been inseparable ever since! Through countless Color Guards, Honor Guards, and Inspections we've done it all. We even managed to stay in touch when he had to move our senior year to Singapore and did Uni over in England. When he came back on breaks we were able to start right back where we left off without missing a beat. I am proud to have him as my Best Man!

I met Rory in college, and somehow one game of giant Uno turned into two years of roommate adventures. She cosplayed in the living room while I crammed for exams, and I played matchmaker by introducing her to my brother (you’re welcome, both of you). She is always able to make me laugh at things that no one else would find funny. Rory helped me survive college with Wawa runs, laughter, and zero judgment, and I’m so lucky to have her in my life.

I met Jayden through the police academy and while he was in a different squad, we quickly became best friends as we found out we were going to be working in the same district. It has been a nonstop adventure since then as we ended up not only on the same district, but same shift as well. I wouldn't chose any one else to watch my back on calls. I am proud to have him as one of my groomsman on my big day.

Reagan and I go all the way back to 5th grade, and if there’s one person who’s seen me through all the drama and still stuck around, it’s her. She’s been my voice of reason when I’m spiraling, my calm in the chaos (or the one causing the chaos), and one of the most dependable friends I’ve ever had. Having her beside me on this day truly feels like a full circle moment.

I met Jim through the police academy. He was my seat buddy in the classroom and my passenger princess during the driving course. While he is almost double my age and bald we would be singing Alan Jackson while driving 90mph and full lights and sirens. I am proud to have him by my side as one of my Groomsmen.

Brenna has been like a little sister to me for as long as I can remember. She’s sassy, fun, and always brings the perfect energy to every room. Watching her grow up has been such a joy, and I’m so excited to have her standing with me (and probably keeping us all in check) on this special day.

I met Gavin through the police academy as well, during the pre-academy phase as we were part of the same pre-hire group. We quickly became friends as he is Army Reserve and found out we were overseas around the same time, just in different countries. We've stayed close through academy even though we were different squads and ended up in different stations. I wouldn't chose anyone else to watch my back on calls. I am proud to have him as one of my groomsmen on my big day.

Aubrey is my mini-me in the best possible way. She’s sweet, goofy, and full of personality, and she’s been part of my life since she was born. Whether we’re laughing at nothing or sharing random gossip, she always makes me smile. I’m so proud to have her be part of this moment.

I met Caden through the police academy as he threw up Five Guys after a PT session. He also got onto my academy laptop and messaged a squad leader that I loved them. We were in different squads during academy but have grown close post graduation. We have had plenty of fun nights since then (some of which I don't remember). I am proud to have him as one of my groomsman on my big day.
