Alexa has truly been an amazing person in my life. Surviving college together, we both eventually moved to Minneapolis to continue the fun. She's been my partner in crime since day one. From attending various concerts together to eating our weight in pasta, she's always been there for me. Catch us on the dance floor at the wedding, she probably created the playlist ;).

Regina is a true blessing to have in my life. Meeting in college, our friendship has only grown stronger as the years pass. Having to keep Alexa and I in line, she's the friend that's always there when you need her, is the voice of reason, and the kindest soul. From dancing at concerts, fishing up north, or being the best mom to Wesley, Regina is always a joy to be around!

Chynna and I met working at Cowboy Slims together in 2016. She has been an amazing friend to have, always including me in plans, getting me to try new foods, and being there for me no matter the situation. Chynna is the yin to my yang, or is it the other way around? She is one of the best bartenders I know but will thankfully be on our side of the bar for a change - you don't want to see her neat pour ;)

Mikaela and I met working together at Cowboy Slims, she was my favorite well-tender. Mikaela has this infectious energy that makes it impossible to not be anything but happy when she's around. We quickly became good friends and have only gotten closer with time. You know you're in for a fun night, with lots of tequila, when MK is there!

Rylie (Pie) and I have been friends since 6th grade. I swear our parents did rock, paper, scissors on who got stuck with the both of us for the night, her mom must have really sucked at that. Her family quickly became my second family. Through junior high, high school, college, all the moving, our friendship has always stayed constant. Rylie is caring, fun, and always down for an adventure.

Erin and I met my sophomore year of high school, as I was prom dress shopping. From there, our friendship continued to grow as we navigated our way through high school, college, and into adulthood. Erin has such a confident, empowering energy about her that truly allows you to feel beautiful just as you are. She has a great "go with the flow" attitude and is always down to have fun!

Kyle and I met at a rock club in St Paul called Station 4 shortly before joining a band. Kyle is known for his musicianship, love of the outdoors, and skills in super smash brothers. He's the only one of my groomsman that I've seen in yoga pants.

I met Ben in 6th grade after signing up for an after school snowboard club. Since then we went to high school together and reconnected after he retuned from college. We still make a habit of going snowboarding together as well as grilling hot dogs in the parking lot.

Tom and I met while he was living with Ben and Alec. Since then, he has continued to be a down to earth friend and great concert companion. He is known for his excellent and insightful one liners.

Alec & I met in middle school and grew closer after high school through our passion for the outdoors and live music. Alec is a dedicated hiker and an overall passionate person. You can occasionally find him living out the back of his Rav4 with his dog Shadow.

Mark and I met in college while attending the Institute of Production & Recording. After realizing we both grew up in Lakeville only a few years apart, we have climbed the ranks in the live sound industry and continue to reach new heights. I believe he holds the record for most red bulls drank in a week long period while the Super Bowl was in town.

Matthew is Shinead's brother and a fantastic friend to all. He certainly knows how to get a party started and is willing to tag along on any adventure.

Jenn and I met off a Facebook group in Seattle and instantly connected. We met for coffee on a "friend date" and ended up hanging out for 5 hours. We've connected on so many things, even our partners have the same name haha. Jennifer has been an amazing friend to have in a new city!

Dana and I met at her husband, Mark's, work party and I instantly knew I wanted to be her friend. Dana is always down for an adventure to forage mushrooms and take the dogs on a walk. Being Finn's godmom, she's been a great support system when I need her. She has such fun energy to be around and is the best person to be your true, goofy self with.

Wesley is the most precious princess and perfect daughter to Regina Schmidt, Matron of Honor. She is such a happy baby, smiling since day one on this earth. Wesley loves to eat, play with her dad's beard, and get snuggles from mama. I can't wait to watch her continue to grow, although she can slow it down a little.

Finn is our beloved fur baby. We couldn't tie the knot without our sweet boy there. He loves all the attention, playing fetch, and being chased by other dogs. Although he loves being active, he's also a cuddle bug and is great at relaxing at home.

Jaimyan has been a part of my life since before I can remember. Coming to my mom's house for daycare, we've been in diapers together, countless time-outs together, and even became duplex neighbors in our early 20's. Jaimyan is a real joy to have around, his smile really does light up the room. Being my packed partner, he's now officially off the hook of marrying me before we're 35 haha.

Jack and I met at orientation for The Lowry and instantly clicked! Within minutes we were exchanging numbers and were both way more excited to be working together. Jack eventually moved into the same apartment complex and we became inseparable. If you're looking to laugh like you've never laughed before, he's the one to be around!

Autumn is Dan's sister and loves to write in her free time. She's also a spirited video game player.

Aahrailyah (Raya) has been part of my family since the moment she came to our house in foster care. Getting to watch her grow up has been such a joy, with obvious sibling disagreements along the way. My, not so little, sister is hard working, loves to help others, and enjoys listening to rap music. Her, along with my younger brothers, got all the height in the family and saved none for Matthew and me.
