Lizzy and I were invited to a playdate when we were three years old and instantly became close friends. We spent our summers and birthdays together for years, though our friendship really blossomed when we were seniors in high school and finally had a class together. We were roommates in our early twenties and I'm so grateful I got to experience all the crazy, wonderful and wild things in your twenties with her by my side. We are still extremely close to this day talking daily and getting together for our weekly walks and dinner. I'm so grateful and lucky to call her my dearest best friend.

Mary and I met on the first day of kindergarten. We happened to be assigned to the same table (along with Kindred) and we quickly became inseparable. However, after kindergarten we were never at the same school again. Luckily, we lived very close to each other and got to see each other all the time. Almost all my best (and most embarrassing) memories are with my Mary. Mary is without a doubt the funniest person I have ever met and always gets me in the happiest moods when we talk. Even though we live in different cities now, we always have time to keep in touch with each other.

When it comes to Kindred (Kindy) and I, we go way back. I've had the pleasure of knowing Kindy the longest. We met at a Father's Day brunch when I was about 14 months old and she was about 18 months old. Somewhere there is a picture of us dancing and holding hands. Kindy and I attended preschool, elementary school, middle school and high school together. I really don't think I have many memories growing up without her by my side. I always felt like we were basically sisters and I've always been so thankful for her. She will always be one of the coolest and wittiest people I've ever met.

Liz and I met at the very awkward age of 13 in 7th grade English class and we instantly hit it off. Middle school can be a rough time so having a friend like her was an awesome thing to have. Before long we were spending our weekends at each other's houses and hanging out at the beach. Now Liz is married and a mother to her adorable baby boy. Liz and I have kept up our regular get togethers and even as we are moving into new chapters of our lives, we still sometimes feel like those silly seventh grade girls when we're around one another.

A few months after I started dating Mac, I met his younger sister Anne Bayley. At the time she was living in NYC and I would only have the chance to see her during the holidays. Anne Bayley took the beautiful picture we used for our Save the Date card and now lives in Atlantic Beach. I am looking forward to spending more time with her in the future and am so grateful she will soon be my sister-in-law.

My cousin Kati has three beautiful girls and I am so happy they will be my flower girls. Elle is the oldest and will be in the fourth grade when we get married. Elle is smart, talented and eager to help with my special day. Lilly will be in first grade when we get married and is super sweet, helpful and always has a smile on her face. Piper is the youngest and will be almost five years old when we get married, she is so fun spirited and very excited to be my flower girl. I am so lucky to have my girls!!

My cousin Stephanie has two great boys who also will be part of our wedding. Harrison will be in the sixth grade and will help us as a junior usher and Miles will be in fifth grade and will be our ring bearer. I used to babysit both boys when they were young and I am so excited and happy to have our boys with me on our big day.
