"Well I was 7 years old when Hanna came into my life and took “the only girl” title away from me😂...so naturally we were 7 years apart growing up. Hanna use to pick the lock to my bedroom door and steal my clothes, now a days it seems like I’m wanting to steal her clothes. 7 years seemed like such an age gap back then but now it's like we’re nearly twins. I’ve taught her the good, the bad, and the ugly. I think it’s safe to say neither of us would be who we are and where we are today without each other to thank. Love you little sis, can't wait to be part of your big day!"

“My person, best friend, and partner in crime since the 7th grade, we’ve always had each other’s back. We went from dyeing our hair with kool aide in the kitchen to cross country trips to see each other. I can’t wait for the next adventure and to celebrate this day with you and Mike!”

I always refer to him as “my cousin Mikey” when talking to friends, but Mike has always been more of a brother to me. As a kid, I spent nearly every weekend at Mikey’s place playing videogames, goofing around outside, and riding on the pegs of his bike while we rode around the neighborhood. Even in high school Mike was never too cool for his little cousin, and he let me tag along with him and his friends while I did my best to act as cool as they all seemed to me. Now as adults, we are on a more even playing field, but I still look up to him. He chases after new experiences with a fearlessness I find inspiring, and I know it won’t be too long before he has me dangling off another cliffside or getting lost in a foreign city somewhere. I am looking forward to standing by your side on this adventure.

On my first day of 6th grade all of my friends were telling me about this kid that looked just like me. Turns out it was “Mike Z”. We quickly became great friends spending an absurd amount of time together, playing baseball for the Stallions, pulling all nighters on Xbox and basically getting into any mischief we could. Probably due to the fact we both had mean older sisters. Mike has always been a solid friend and I look at him like he is a part of my family as well as the rest of the Zalewski’s and I’m glad that Hannah will be a part of that too.
