There are some friendships that shape your whole life, and ours began all the way back in 1st grade. From childhood memories to surviving nursing school together, we’ve walked through every season side by side. We’ve grown up together, laughed until we cried, cried until we healed, and faced both life’s hardest challenges and its sweetest joys. He has been one of my truest constants, and I couldn’t imagine this day without Jack welcoming our guests with the same warmth and loyalty he’s shown me my entire life!

Makayla has always been so much more than just a friend, she’s been family. We’ve laughed until we cried, shared countless memories, celebrated milestones, and supported each other through every season of life. She was my first roommate, my prayer partner, my voice of reason, and my biggest cheerleader. Having Makaya stand beside me as my Matron of Honor means the world to me, there’s truly no one else I could imagine sharing this moment with.

Corbin has been my best friend for over a decade, my soul sister, and now my maid of honor! Corbin and I have grown up side by side, sharing every season of life together, from our teenage years, to college and now, wedding planning side by side. For over ten years, she’s been the sister I never had the one who knows my heart better than anyone and has loved me through it all. Walking through this season together, both engaged and planning our futures, feels like the sweetest full-circle moment. I couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without her standing right beside me, just as she’s been there for every other moment that mattered the most.

Ally and I have been friends for many years, and from the moment we met, bonding instantly over a Taylor Swift music video, I knew she was going to be someone truly special in my life. Since then, we’ve shared countless laughs, tears, and memories that have shaped our friendship into something more like sisterhood. I was so honored to stand beside her on her wedding day, and now it means the world to have her by my side on mine. I couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without her.

Katie has been part of our family for over ten years, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sister-in-law. She’s the best wife to my brother and an incredible mom to my two nephews. I was so honored to stand by her side on her wedding day, and now it means the world to have her standing by mine. I’m so grateful for the love she brings to our family, and I can’t wait to celebrate this special day together.

From the very beginning of mine and Tripp’s relationship, Ashlyn has been such a light. She’s fun, sweet, and truly the life of the party. She’s always there to make everyone laugh, lend a listening ear, and fill every moment with joy. What started as friendship has grown into sisterhood, and I feel so lucky to now call her family. I can’t wait to have her by my side on this special day and to celebrate all the love and laughter to come!

The guy who raised me and taught me everything I need to know. The man I look up to and go to for life advice. From jamming “Eye of the Tiger” in the truck, to throwing the ball, to navigating life he’s been there for all of it. Nobody could fill this role better. Love you, Dad.

Jaxon is a humble, respectful man who always puts his family first. As I start my own family and figure out life, he’s someone I genuinely look to for guidance. Marrying into the family, I’m grateful to call him my brother-in-law and even more grateful to know I’ve got someone who will always have my back.

From freshman year baseball to junior college ball, we were the duo throwing partners and everything in between. Even now, we’re still out on the golf course just to watch the ball fly. We’ve been through it all, on the field and off. From grade school to careers, he’s been a close one in my life. I’m thankful to have my buddy up there with me on the big day.

My lifelong buddy from way back. We’ve done it all from playing travel ball in 5th grade, to senior year high school ball, and even moving schools around the same time. Our families have always been close, and so have we. From video games, to messing around on the guitar, to riding along for whatever errand he decides to run that hour Garrett’s always been there. No question I have to have this guy up here with me.

One of my day-one baseball brothers. Griffin has always been the life of the party the guy who takes everything to another level and is always down for whatever. We’ve gone from middle school baseball to stepping into this next chapter of life, and there’s no way I’d have this day without my homie right there with me.

My man GP! From living the night up, to hunting, to playing a round on the course, to being there the night I met the love of my life he’s been part of some of my biggest moments. Gotta have my boy up there with me for our special day.
