My sister and best friend. We are five years apart but nobody can tell. Growing up, Jordyn taught me patience and the art of arguing; now we have an unbreakable bond. I can't imagine my life without Jordyn in it. She is the life of the party and will always leave you laughing.

The Big Brother. Mom and Dad's rough draft, my brother has been a role model and a voice of reason in my life. He constantly reminds me who I am, to hold fast to my values, and to never give up. I can't stress enough how meaningful it is to have someone as inspiring as Chris in my life. My brother will always be my best friend. He might live 2,000 miles away now, but that doesn't mean we've stopped reading each other's minds.

My friend "soulmate." We've been friends since middle school but became close in college. Holly has walked with me through high highs and low lows, pointing me to Jesus along the way. Fun fact: we've taken a month-long road trip up the East coast and have explored Europe together!

The Primo. Gosh, Cristian is just such an awesome guy in my life. We've developed such an unbreakable friendship especially when we stepped into college, and I'm related to him, so he's stuck with me. He and his wife Sasha were also instrumental in pulling off the impossible task of making sure Cheyenne was surprised when I proposed. He teaches me to sacrifice and especially to be humble--something that gets easier and easier as a Gator fan.

My longest-standing friendship. We have been inseparable since meeting in 8th grade US History. Sophie is wise beyond her years and has walked with me through fundamental stages of my faith. Sophie is also one of the funniest people and has made me pee my pants laughing on an embarrassing amount of occasions.

The Pre-K Classmate. James and I practically grew up together. He's the only guy who could convince me to jump into an alligator-filled quarry. Something that I admire about James is his ability to make friends with anybody. He also welcomes a challenge and laughs when someone says it's impossible. Sometimes I do wish we could do something other than play volleyball every Sunday night, but hey, he's a man of tradition.

My former Young Life teammate. Aubree is one of the most caring and thoughtful people you'll ever meet. We navigated the ins and outs of college life, supporting each other along the way. I would not be the same without Aubree's humor, love, and amazing baking skills. Only ever scary when you make her bring out her teacher voice... beware.

The Willy. Once strangers meeting on the doorstep of Kappa Phi for the first time, now lifelong friends destined to interminably clash in Super Smash Bros. and Halo 3. Will is easily one of the most honest and sincere men that I know. He will never fail to make me laugh and always amazes me with the peaceful way he walks out his faith.

My coworker & mission trip teammate. We met on a mission trip to Nicaragua. From there, we worked at the same company through college and grew closer and closer. Karigan's friendship is a constant source of support and laughter and her theological knowledge will knock your socks off.

The College Roommate. Remember when the Apostle Paul said to follow me as I follow Christ? That describes the type of man Paul Swift has been for me throughout our friendship. When we moved in together freshman year, we became instant best friends. The stories we have spanning back. Paul Swift and I are the reason they call Jennings Hall the "Dirty J."

My roommate. The two of us went to the same college but didn't meet until we moved in together in Tampa. We became fast friends and I could not imagine navigating post-grad life in a new city without the love and support of Macy along with our daily catch-ups and weekly Tampa dates. She's someone I could talk to for hours or just sit in silence with.

The Apologist. If I had to trade a night from my life away, you could bet that near the bottom of that list would be those nights we've spent studying the Word and praying. Do yourself a favor and make sure you get a chance to meet him at my wedding, and I promise you will learn something and be inspired to study the Bible more. Just look for the tall dude who has probably just busted the sickest move of the night on the dance floor.

My former Young Life teammate. We bonded over our love for Young Life and our friendship flourished. Erin is one of the smartest people I know and she consistently inspires me with her faith and wisdom. Although she'll be wearing her bridesmaid dress on the big day, you better believe she has the cutest fashion sense around.

The Pledge Brother. If there is a tool that sharpens the tool that cuts diamond, he is that. Here's the thing about Bitna, if you are blessed enough to call him your friend, be prepared to be challenged and to grow, because he is intentional in all his relationships. If you want to know what he is about, please refer to Psalm 27 (with special attention to verses 4&8).
