Will is my best friend and twin brother in one. We did every single thing together growing up and I love him to death. If you have a twin, you understand. There exists no stronger connection. Enough said!

Jill is my college roommate turned soon to be sister in-law! She understands having to put to up with the Schlappich boys (kinda kidding). Our friendship has continued to strengthen every year since college. Her and Will are like rocks to Chris and I and it's always a good time when we're all together.

Is it a hankering or a craving? These are the things Garrett and I regularly ponder. Garrett is Lauren's older brother; he's known for stopping over at our place for Sunday dinners to regroup before the week ahead. He's a good time... all the time!

Emma and I were freshman roommates and besties since our first day at Marist! I knew our connection would be strong after just a few texts leading up to our first day. We did everything together from coffee dates, to breakfast at Alex's, to runs along the Hudson. Emma has always been a big part of my life!

Introducing my NHL punching bag.. that's right, he takes a wallop whenever we play. Jack is Lauren's little brother; ask him to do an impersonation or perform karaoke. He can do it all and will always be the star of the show.

Taeghan and I first met in preschool and we've been close friends ever since! From milking cows on her family farm, riding four-wheelers around, to celebrating her wedding day, we've done it all and have so many stories to tell!

The Knot tells me to add a short note to describe my relationship with the person. That's impossible to do here. Met Mike freshman year of college and he's been my best friend since. I mean literally inseparable. Corny to say, sure, but it's the truth. I love Mike with everything in me!

Steph and I met in Leo Hall freshman year of college. We were tailgate buddies and Saturday-night-out partners! Now I'm lucky to have Steph living in Boston because I get to see her often. She is an amazing person who goes above and beyond for our friendship.

Kyle is friend and cousin all in one. Will, me and Kyle grew up together and have a number of good stories to tell. Kyle and I had a number of good days in the Globo Gym during the heart of COVID. He's spontaneous and loyal... very loyal. You can count on him to have your back and he'll always bring the energy.

According to my mom Abbie is my first friend. That's right, our moms used to bring us to the park together for play-dates. Abbie and I have stayed close through high-school, college and still are to this day! Abbie's silly, easy-going demeanor makes her a joy to be around.

Welcome to the Ace in the Hole! Austin is my cousin Amanda's husband (so my cousin now); despite only knowing each other for a few years, it feels like our friendship goes back much longer. He’s got this unique ability to make you feel like you’re the only person in the room... oh wait, that was from the officiant speech! Pumped to have Austin on my side.

While Abbie was my first friend, my mom met Ally's mom before we were even born...so you tell me. Ally and I walked together to our Kindergarten class on the first day of school and we've been close friends ever since. Ally has been neighbor, best friend, confidant, hair stylist, and more to me over the years!
