We have been bestie girls since middle school. Claudia always has my best interest at heart. She's honest and straight with me while being my biggest supporter. It doesn't matter where or what we do, it's always a good time. Even our shopping/thrifting days usually turn into an unexpected adventure. This is a special experience that we get to share in each other's life---as I was her Maid of Honor in Aug 2023.

Alex and I have been friends since middle school. When we are not playing video games, we are usually playing D&D together. Alex has been with me through a lot, and I am honored to have him as my best man.

We have been spilling the tea since middle school with each other. Katrina is always up for having a girl's day shopping or getting a glass of wine at a new winery. She has been close to both of us through our entire relationship, and we could not imagine getting married without her by our side.

I have known Lee since middle school, but our friendship really grew in the last few years. While most of our friends were finishing up college, we were living back in Fredericksburg. As a result, we connected through golfing, and video games. I now consider Lee to be one of my closest friends.

We became closer friends/roommates during our senior year at college, JMU! There were many hours of binge-watching reality TV. We probably could do the next season of Below Deck as Chief Stews. Paige is glamorous, reliable, and fun to be around. I couldn't be more excited to have her be a part of the big day!

My friendship with Brian started in college with us hanging out and picking up new hobbies like disc golf. We are also known for hosting a lot of game nights and dinners together.

We became closer friends/roommates during our senior year at JMU. Even though we were only roommates for one semester, she graduated early, it was so memorable. Mary is without a doubt the best gingerbread house designer and a fellow Target enthusiast. She is the girl to drink hot chocolate with and watch movies all day. I cherished all our time spent together; it was always fun and much-needed. I'm so grateful to have her be a part of the big day.

Carl is my oldest friend. Our friendship began in 4th grade, and he has remained one of the few people I know I can always rely on. Carl moved away to attend college in New York, however, that didn't stop us from playing games and staying connected. I am ecstatic to have such a great friend who has been with me through so much.

We met and became close friends in middle school. I never imagined that we would end up being roommates in college too. Tayler is the "old soul" who would love to sit and drink coffee/tea with a good book all day. Then, she is the young soul that is fun and gets everyone to try new things and experiences. She is a beautiful person inside and out. The person who is chosen every time for the morning coffee chats and the late-night wine debriefs. Thank you for being with me all through the years and part of this special day!

Ronin and I's path has crossed many times before we truly bonded. We were on swim team together since we were little kids but we got much closer when we were roommates during our freshman year at Virginia Tech. Having a lot of classes together let us learn a lot about each other and I am glad to have him stand beside me on my wedding day.
