Ashley and I grew up together but didn’t become close until our 20’s. I’m so very blessed to say she’s like my sister now.

Hallie and I met through a mutual friend and instantly became inseparable. I couldn’t imagine a life without her!

Michelle and I have been best friends for 30+ years. I always knew she’d be by my side at my wedding!

Katherine and I met when we both worked at Uno Chicago Bar and Grill 15+ years ago. Katherine moved down to Tennessee but we’ve always remained the closest of friends.

Ally and I worked together at a restaurant 18 years ago and we became the best of friends. Although she lives in a different state now, she’s always there for the important things.

Marley is my cousin and I’ve had full custody of her since she’s been 11. David and I both have been raising her as our own child ever since and it just makes sense that she’s a part of our special day.

Met him shortly after his birth. Took him a while to be cool, but he's the coolest now. He's responsible for my love of fantasy, sci-fi, and soccer. He's a good guy.

Met him when I picked the wrong cubby in daycare. He's stuck around to make sure I never make that mistake again. He's responsible for my interest in videogames and bikes, and my poor taste in music. He's a good guy.

Met him through Cale in second grade. He's the fallback if Cale's not around when I can't find my cubby. He's responsible for my interest in cooking, about 40% of my sense of humor, and my brief career in kitchens. He's a good guy.

Met him in school in Santa Fe, learning the basics of Java (not coffee). He got me into esoteric computing ideas, made me appreciate a good cappuccino (yes coffee), and is responsible for about half of my academic success. He's a good guy.

Met him at school in Albuquerque where he slyly tricked me into rock climbing, golf, and a master's degree. He's responsible for my love of Blake's breakfast burritos, and the other half of my academic success. He's a good guy.

Met him as the boyfriend (now fiance!) of Ashley over fierce games of polish horseshoes. He's gotten me back into slaying dragons on the table top, rocking out with plastic instruments, and keeps me getting out on the fairways regularly. He's a good guy.
