Jenny was my soul sister, someone who I could call and she would pick up on the first ring. She was the friend I could go two months without talking to and we'd pick up right where we left off. She was my right hand, my confidant, my crazy Leo girl. Unfortunately Jenny will be by my side in spirit on the day of my wedding, but I truly think she is the one who sent Robert my way. It would've felt wrong not to include her, even at a joyous time like this.

Sydney has held a piece of my heart for a little over 10 years. She has seen me at my lowest lows and highest highs, all while never faltering as a friend. She has grown to be more like a sister than a friend these days. Sydney is the older sister I always wanted, someone to tell me the pros and cons to everything I'm about to do in true Libra fashion. She is my voice of reason. She is the one to tell me "Listen I know moving across the country sounds like a good idea but..". I am a true type b personality, and she is my true type a.

Josie and I have known each other for almost 10 years, she is my travel partner, my witch sister, my go to girl for a trip out of the country. We have seen so many amazing places together. We have some of the craziest stories and memories.

Logan and I have known each other for about 9 years, we have gotten closer over the past 5 years. She is a girl who cares so much abut the ones around her. Always making sure I'm okay, or if my little family needs anything. I couldn't ask for a better friend. She has been a shoulder to cry on and a friend to laugh with, someone I can count on through anything. I couldn't go through this day without her by my side.

Beth and I have known each other since college, so almost 10 years now. She is the sweetest, kindest soul I have ever met. She will show up and show out for her friends and loved ones. To know Beth and be loved by her is a gift in itself. I am so very blessed to have her in my bridal party supporting me on my special day.

Hailey and I have known each other since high school, we were both in the dance program at Woodside High School. It wasn't until college where we grew closer. Hailey is my wild child, the friend who I call when I need a good time. She is quit literally a good time. I haven't had a time where I wasn't laughing or not enjoying my night while Hailey was around. Being around her instantly makes me smile.

Ethan and I wrestled in high-school. We were very close in weight, Ethan pushed me to become a better wrestler every day. Wrestling together created a friendship that has lasted till this day. No matter how much time has passed, whenever I see Ethan I am transported back to a time when we were young men. I am very grateful to have known him and couldn't think of a better man to have by side at the alter.

Bunts and I met in basic training in 2013. We were in separate platoons and constantly in competition with each other. We both went to K9 school and got stationed at Fort Lee. Since then, Bunts has constantly pushed me to be better in every aspect. He is one of the most motivational human beings that I know and I am very thankful that he always takes the time to check in with me.

My brother is someone that I have always looked up to and always wanted to make proud. I was born on his birthday and always felt like this contributed to the bond we have. He has helped me navigate life on many occasions. I turn to him for advice quite frequently. I am honored, to have the man that has always been there for me by my side on my wedding day.

Uncle Jim has in many ways, shaped me into the man I am today. He has taught me many things throughout my life. Had my first beer and experienced my first big concert with my Uncle Jim. Both are important milestones. I cherish all the time I've gotten to spend with him and I am very thankful for his presence in my life. I hope he knows how much it means to me for him to accept this role as a groomsman in my wedding.

Jordan is another friend of mine that I made while wrestling in high school. Another bond forged on the mat that has lasted well into my adult life. Jordan has always been there for me throughout the years. I frequently pick his brain for knowledge and strive to become a successful entrepreneur like himself. We both have growing families and I hope that we can all spend lots of quality time together in the future.
