Carter is beautifully unique and wildly optimistic. She is one of my best friends, my partner in crime, my backpacking buddy, and the reason I smile. With her bubbly and hilarious attitude, I cannot wait to have her by my side.

One of the most incredible people you will ever meet. She is one of the greatest comforts in my life. Elana is loyal, supportive, thoughtful, and one of my best friends. I'm beyond proud to have her by my side on my special day. Did I also mention how gorgeous she is!

Brooke is an incredible human being, with compassion for others flowing out of her. I'm lucky that my brother chose such a wonderful person. Not only does she amaze when she humbly performs the neatest backflip I've ever seen, but her presence is fun, energetic, and something I love being around.

Since kindergarten, Lindsey has had my back, and I hers. Whether that's me helping her switch classes with her twin sister, or her holding my hand at prom, we have always been there for each other. She is my steady , loving rock in life, and I truly could not do this day without her.

Lindsey has inspired me since I met her. With her fierce passions in life, she knows who she is, and where she is going. I still remember watching her squat 135lbs with ease, and I remember thinking "I wanna be like her". And now, with her as my sister, her loving and supportive inspiration will always push me forward.

I have been blessed to have Sheridan in my life. What started with a beautiful hike into the Colorado mountains has blossomed into a powerful friendship. Never have I opened up quicker or more vulnerably to anyone, and I'm beyond excited to be a big sister.

Wild, fun, but most of all, she is loving. Nicole has been a constant in my life since kindergarten. From our "baker's dough wars" to our trampoline sleepovers to our similar majors and love of science, we have complimented each other for almost 2 decades. I'm so lucky to have such an incredible person in my life for this long, I love you Nicole.

This is a relationship that started with constant bickering and fighting at every family holiday. Jayce has been the closest thing I have to a brother. As we grew closer over the years, Jayce became one of the most reliable and trustworthy people in my life. I know he is always one phone call away, and I am glad that he will be standing next to me as my best man.

As my younger cousin, Trey and I have always had a close bond. He is basically my little brother whom I have always strived to be a good role model for and make proud. I could not be more proud of the man he is becoming, and I am looking forward to him being there with me and my closest friends and family.

I can thank Brad for my relationships with about half of these groomsmen. From a randomly assigned roommate to one of my closest friends through college, Brad was there for me through it all. I am happy that we can come full circle and he will be there standing alongside me on my wedding day.

I don't think I have ever grown as close of friends to someone as quickly as I did Will. Will and I have been through a lot together, and there is no one I would rather have by my side than him. He truly has the biggest heart and I am so lucky to call him my friend.

My little egg.

Branden is one of the most virtuous and wholesome people that I know. From Little League baseball to now, he has been one of my most dependable friends. I am beyond proud of everything that he has accomplished in life, and I am grateful he will be there with me on this day.

I truthfully don't know where to begin to try and explain Cody. Through our friendship, he has given me some of the craziest stories that I cherish to this day. Probably the most hilarious and random person that I have ever met, Cody is a constant reminder of some of my favorite times. I am beyond thankful for our frienship.

Logan is the type of friend that calls when you least expect it but need it. Or, the type of friend that hops on a flight to come visit even though you haven't seen each other in 2 years. I can't think of someone as caring and passionate as Logan. Our friendship has only gotten stronger as the years have passed, and I look forward to having him stand next to me as one of my closest friends.
