I have had the pleasure of getting to be Callie's older sister for the past 20 years. I am so glad that God blessed us with her. Her heart for the Lord, passion to serve people, and love for singing are the three things that come to my mind when I think of her. She has been with me through thick and thin, supported me in all things, and continually pointed me to Christ. She is truly one of the most beautiful people I know, inside and out. I am so honored to be blessed with a built in best friend for life and to have her as my maid of honor.

I met Ellie our junior year of high school in our weightlifting and conditioning class. We hit it off right away and I honestly do not know how we really became friends and one day we were just hanging out each and everyday! Ellie and I have been through everything together and watching her grow into the awesome person she is today has been such an honor! Her smile, laugh, and presences lights up a room. She is my sister from another mister and I am so blessed to call her my best friend and maid of honor.

Kaylee and I became friends a little over a year ago! We met at our church's young adult group and God really knew what he was doing with our friendship! Over this last year, Kaylee and I have grown a bond that is super special and I am so thankful for her and our friendship! Her heart for Jesus, Taylor Swift, and people radiates. She is one of the funniest people I know and I am so honored to have her and one of my best friends standing next to me.

Alexis and I became friends a little over a year ago as well! She and I also met at our church's young adults group! She was one of my first girl friends from the group! Alexis's heart for Jesus is very big and shines so bright. She has such a servant heart and I am so glad God brought her into my life. Alexis continually points me to Jesus and is someone I know I can count on no matter what. It is an honor and a privilege to call her one of my best friends and to have her standing next to me.

Anissa and I met a little less than a year ago at our church's young adults group but we have quickly became very good friends. God brought Anissa into my life at a time that I did not realize I needed more girl friends. She is so beautiful inside and out and her light from Jesus glows so bright. Anyone who gets the pleasure of getting to know her will quickly realize that Anissa lights up any room she walks into. I am blessed to call her one of my best friends and to have her standing next to me.

Sam and I became friends in high school. Sam is one of those people who can make anything positive and fun! She is one of the funniest and goofiest people I know and I am so blessed to get to call her one of my closest friends! Sam is a person I know I can always count on. Her heart for Jesus shines through her for everyone to see. She is an inspiration for those who are around her. I was blessed enough to stand next to her on her big day and I am so excited for her to be able to stand next to me on mine.

I met Wyatt at church way back when, in 7th grade. We weren't necessarily super close in the first few years, but as we entered high school, God really showed me why I needed a friend like him. Wyatt has been through all the good, bad, and ugly with me and has stuck by my side though it all while always pushing me towards God. He has been a friend, a brother, and honestly a mentor to me through all these years. I've had the pleasure in seeing him grow so much as a leader and I could have never asked for a better person to be my best man than Wyatt. Love you bro.

I met Russ when we were both in youth group. I remember seeing this odd kid with all these really random hats and being like, "Idk about him yet.". Thankfully he later asked for a ride to whatever food place we all were going to after youth group, because this "weird kid" I thought I had met turned into one of my best friends. Russ has always had my back and I've always had his. He'd pick a fight with anybody, even me lol. But I know he'd always be there for me no matter what. He has grown so much as a leader and as a true man of God. And though he is one of my best friends, he is just as much my brother too.

This is probably one of the most random ways of meeting someone. I had been around Sam for years and years and we even played baseball together as kids without knowing. The first time I truly met Sam was when Russ asked me to come hang out with him ,and Sam was there too. Within the first few minutes of talking with Sam, it was like I was talking with an alternate-universe version of me. We both were blue collar workers and big boys, and understood each others work struggles but what brought all that together, was our greatest connection, God. He has gone from being my friend to now my brother and I couldn't think of someone else than Sam, to have my back on this special day.

I met Zach on October 14th, 2001. Yes that is my birthday, and we are cousins. But though we are family by blood, Zach has been one of my best friends. As kids we would go together to our moms and plead with them to have sleep overs all the time. From us having nerf wars, to exploring trails together in the woods , and then to just hanging with him at my grandparents reminiscing of old times with grandpa, I am so thankful to be his cousin. He is has been there for me through all the hard times and I am so thankful to have him by my side again for my big day.

I met Jenkins a long time ago in high school doing choir but never truly knew him. Later on when I finally graduated, Jenkins was finally in the same friend groups as mine. Over time, we both kinda just connected on a spiritual level with how we view worship and what our goals are. Jenkins has helped me be a better musician, leader, and friend. He wasn't exactly what I was expecting in a best friend, but he is someone God knew I needed. I know he always has my back and has been a calm in the storm when life has gotten crazy. I can't thank him enough and cannot wait to have him by my side on my big day.

"OOOOOOOOOH YEAH!" (IYKYK) I met Coach, honestly I don't remember when lol. He was just one of those guys that out of no where popped into my life. But the second Coach popped in, he was staying. This guy turned into family instantly and would ask "What's mom making for dinner tonight?" or say "I'm taking your room when you leave!". Coach has just always made himself at home, but as any family member would, he would also constantly check up on me. He would make sure I was in the word and still pursuing worship even if I'm getting burnt out. I am so glad to know that he always has my back and that I have his and I can't wait to have him by my side on my big day.
