From the moment Erin and Rebecca were born, destiny seemed to intertwine their lives, often referred to as two peas in a pod. As cousins, they were inseparable, spending endless hours lost in imaginative worlds with Barbies and Polly Pockets. Through the years, softball diamonds became their playground, where victories and defeats only strengthened their bond. Despite miles separating them, their connection remained unwavering. When Rebecca's wedding day arrived, Erin stood by her side, a testament to their enduring friendship. So now it's Rebecca's turn to do the same!

Kasey and I first crossed paths as wide-eyed freshmen in a bustling general chemistry class at Baldwin Wallace University. Over the next four years, we evolved from classmates to inseparable friends, sharing countless study sessions and adventures across Europe. Our love for ice cream became a cherished ritual, and even after pursuing separate paths through grad school, we reunited in Texas, where our tradition of indulging in sweet treats continues to this day.

Kathy and I found solace at a shared desk, thrown together as the fresh faces of the team in 2019. Amidst instruments and data analysis, our bond blossomed over the steep learning curve of our roles. Midday walks became our refuge, but it wasn't just the pavement beneath our feet that united us—we shared a mutual love for adventure. Venturing beyond the confines of the office, we traded scrubs for hiking boots and embraced the thrill of adventure.

Austin and I were always close growing up. We hunted and played baseball any chance we got. I have some of my best memories with him. It’s only fitting that he’s by my side when I get married.

My fondest memories of Conner are always in the hunting stand. We are always loud, showing each other funny videos and not watching for deer, but somehow they always end up appearing despite our lack of focus. When we aren’t hunting we enjoy throwing the football or baseball or messing around outside. While we are miles away we still try and talk once a week about whatever nonsense Conner comes up with.

Since childhood, Philip has been Erin's steadfast brother and now, a cherished part of her wedding journey. Their bond, forged in shared adventures, grew stronger with time. Through visits to Ohio, Philip connected with Seth, Erin's soon-to-be husband, forming a deep friendship rooted in shared interest in baseball and golf.

Despite the distance, Erin and Seth chat weekly with little Grady, Erin's beloved two-year-old nephew. Where they exchange stories about his stuffed monkey George and share virtual hugs. Grady eagerly awaits his role as ring security, practicing diligently for the big day.
