Alisha and I met in elementary school through our brothers youth football practices. We then went to middle school and high school together, going through phases of being close and then not... until junior year. Our junior year of highschool is when we got extremely close due to having a lot of classes together. We then started hanging out outside of school and eventually were never seen without one another. We also lived together throughout most of college in Emporia and continue to stay close friends. Alisha knows everything about me and has been there through all of the most challenging and also most exciting times in life. I know that she always has my back and is a phone call away, no matter when or what it may be. I cannot wait to have her stand beside me on our big day.

Lindsey and I met in middle school through being in the same league and playing against each other in sports. We stayed in touch through social media and would hang out every once in a while outside of seeing each other at sporting events. Once we graduated high school we continued to keep in touch and then Lindsey decided to transfer from WSU to ESU. When she made that decision I immediately recruited her to move in with Alisha and I. Lindsey and I lived together for 3 years in college. She is a constant in my life and always the most supportive, even when it comes to agreeing to last minute plans to do just about anything. I am so blessed to have a friend like her standing next to me on our special day.

Sierra and I went to school together beginning in Kindergarten. We became close friends early in life and continue to be close friends. In highschool Sierra was my rock, we were almost always doing something together. We both decided to go to Emporia State and major in elementary education. We now both teach 1st Grade, too. It has been so fun to go through all phases of life together and support each other through it all. I will forever be grateful for a forever friend like her who shares so much in common. Even though she moved to Oklahoma she continues to be such a solid friend and I am so lucky that we are standing with one another on each of our big days.

Morgan and I met when she was moving to Emporia for college. Morgan reached out through social media looking for a roommate, while I did not need one I knew a close friend that did. Not too long after that conversation we were hiring at the tanning salon that I worked at in Emporia so I reached out to Morgan to ask her if she needed a job in Emporia, she then got hired at Midas and the rest is history. A lot of our clients would confuse Morgan and I trying to figure who was who which could partly be due to the way we look but also our personalities, always goofing around and laughing... especially when we are with each other. Morgan is the kindest soul I have ever met, from the get go she was such a light to be around. We now are both out of Emporia but continue to stay friends and hang out together. I always know that Morgan has my back and is down for a dinner date whenever.

Lincoln and I met through Bryce and Colby (Lincoln's boyfriend) being friends. Lincoln was so kind and we started to see each other more and more because of Colby and Bryce being friends. Soon we were texting more often and then hanging out more and more, even without the boys. Lincoln now comes to see me when I am home alone while Bryce is working out of town and always makes sure that I am staying sane while he is gone. She is so selfless and puts up with me more than she has to. I am so thankful for her taking care of me and spending time with me when I need it most.

Kylee and I met in college, both majoring in elementary education. We got placed at the same school for our first semester of student teaching. The school that we were placed at was about a 45 minute drive from Emporia, so of course we decided we HAD to carpool to save money. The long drives to and from school had us spending lots of time together in the car where our friendship started. Kylee has been so supportive in all aspects of life and even though she is still in Emporia, lots of FaceTime talks are still had & she continues to be an amazing friend. I can not wait to have her stand next to me and have her support through this chapter of life.

Caden and Bryce have been friends since the first grade when Bryce moved next door to him. From playing waffle ball in the front yard to playing wing man for eachother Caden and Bryce have been through it all.
