My name is Josh, and I've been chosen to be the best man. I've known Darwin for a long time now and I can honestly say he's become one of my best friends. It's hard to believe that people can walk into your life and play such a crucial role, but here we are! Being in the same sports in high school, our friendship started with a healthy rivalry that turned into a mutual comradery which still continues to this day. Whenever one of us begins a new hyperfixation -whether it's gaming, playing sports, fishing, it doesn't matter- the results are always the same. He may say he's a better darts player, but check his response when asked who is the better driver in Mario Kart. On the flipside: we've always taken that same energy and used it to encourage each other to take those leaps of faith to create the lives we've always talked about. Criticism is hardly welcomed, but there will always be a select few in our lives that we look for such honesty as you know they always speak with your best intentions in mind. With that being said, I am honored that I will be able to take part in such momentous day for both Darwin and Bailee; the love share for one another is worth celebrating!

I am the BEST big sister to Bailee! My favorite memories with Bailee would have to be those as of late. from wedding dress shopping, getting to share our bachelorette parties together and planning ideas for our wedding; these are just some moments I will cherish forever! I'm so blessed I get to stand by my sister on the biggest day of her life. My sister is my best friend; we've got each other 'til the end!

Darwin, lo conoci por alla por el 2004 tenia 9 años y siempre fue un niño de buen corazon, en ese entonces hablaba mucho jajaja y me acuerdo cuando llegabamos a casa de comprar comida y siempre preguntaba.... me pregunto a q sabe tal cosa jaja hasta q viky una vez le dio algo q picaba... me acuerdo q cuando me mude traje mi super nintendo y otros consolas y jugabamos bastantes video juegos le enseñe todos los trucos de super mario kart 64, lamentablemente me tuve q regresar a ny y por eso nunco pudo ganarme en ningun videojuego... a mi me gusta mucho matematica y siempre le preguntaba a darwin q tal le iba en ese curso por si acaso necesite ayuda pero todo el tiempo q vivi aqui lo unico q me decia q le enseñaron fueron fracciones... Julian es definitivamente sobrino de darwin xq cuendo era mas chico solito se sacaba las medias para sacarse las pelusas entre los dedos del pie como su tio jajaja

Hi I'm Alexa! I'm Bailee's cousin but I would say we're more like sisters. From having sleepovers all the time to always buying the same clothes/literally anything to laughing until our stomachs hurt! To over the years getting closer and closer. Without her my life could've been very different. One memory I hold dear to my heart is when I found out I was pregnant with my son. Bailee was with me every step of the way and I mean every step! Now she's the BEST god mom to both of my babies. I would be her cousin a thousand times over! I cannot wait to see her new chapter in life unfold and can't wait to be by her side when she says "I DO" to Darwin.

Hi my name is Dalton and I have known Darwin for about 10 years now and wow that is wild to think about. Whether it’s fishing, hanging out, or him pretending to be interested in my hobbies (Magic the Gathering), he’s always someone who has conversations I want to be apart of. He is a genuine person, and that is not easy to find. The best thing is he found a person to share his life with, and I know that Bailee sees Darwin for the genuine person he is. I’m happy to be able to stand in their wedding party to celebrate the love they found.

My name is Sheyanne and I'm one of Bailee's bridesmaids! I've known Bailee for about 7 years. I can't believe it's only been 7 years, it feels like ive known Bailee my whole life. We met at work and I remember my first impressions of her were; she was confident, sweet, outgoing and she had long gorgeous hair! We've done so many fun things together and have taken so many memorable trips. My favorite is when we took a 10 day roadtrip from Illinois to Denver, Colorado. We stopped and stayed at different states along the way. Even after being together for 10 days straight we never got tired of each other! One year we went to Lollapalooza and I swear we just laughed all night every night. Some of my best memories are with her. Bailee is the epitome of a best friend and girls girl. She will always have your back and be a shoulder to cry on if you need one. I can't wait to see what the future holds for Bailee and Darwin. I wish them both nothing but a life full of love and happiness, they truly are meant for each other. I can't wait for the big day!!

My name is Linsey and I am a grooms-lady! I have known Darwin for about 18 years now and I can say he is one of my life long friends. We met in middle school, had the same friend group in high school, and now growing into our 30s we still basically have the same friend group, minus a few people but hey thats life. Growing old with your friends means enjoying the more simple things in life. We have made some great memories whether it be fishing, playing Mario Kart and everyone screaming and laughing at eachother through the mic, to talking about life with one another. For knowing Darwin as long as I have, I am so happy he has found Bailee and honored to stand up there next to them as they both share one of the most amazing days of their lives! I am so excited to celebrate their love for one another!

I met Bailee in sixth grade while playing volleyball. I off the bat didn't like her because she had that "I'm better than you attitude. I had a plan to act as if she wasn't even my teammate. But then boys volleyball became popular that same year and it just so happened to be a boy on our team that we both liked. So we were evil eyeing each other and making comments towards one another until our coach noticed. Coach pulled us aside and pretty much told us we needed to smash whatever issues we had with each other because it's more than likely we would be playing volleyball with each other for the rest of our lives. And she was right. Seven years later Bailee and I were playing college ball together, ditching classes, and getting wasted. Now I'm here at her wedding standing by her side while she celebrates one of the biggest days of her life. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Congratulations Bails and Dar Dar!
