The one and only, the groom's ride-or-die since 2010

I've known Selena since we were 12. She moved to town and was always known as a shy, quiet bean, i took that as a challenge. I basically told her she's my friend now and did the talking for her, and she was perfectly content with that. Once she opens up to people, she is the most hilarious, out of pocket, goofball there is. Every time we hang out, it's an adventure even if we don't leave the house. I couldn't imagine my life without her. She truly is a part of our family. Even Emily loves her (she says she's not good with kids, Emily says otherwise).

Uncle to the groom, veteran, and just all around badass

AKA Onyx Steelfist, gains a +5 Intelligence when in vicinity of the groom

The groom's first brother. Taught him a lot about patience, but also unconditional love

The groom's second brother. He'll always be the baby, even if he is as tall as the groom...

Abby was my first friend when i left for college and later my roommate. We have so many chaotic and funny adventures together. Between being drenched in a total downpour and almost setting our dorm on fire with chicken nuggets, we always had something going on. She has always been there when i needed a serious talk or just a laugh. She has a way of always bringing the good vibes with her. We had many of our adult firsts together. We turned 21 together, we went to many parties and concerts together, we had a spot to walk to to just talk, we worked together at jimmy johns and the daycare. She has been an amazing friend in the time we've had together, and i will always treasure the memories we make together.

Eileen is my older sister so I've known her since 9 months before my birthday! We had our normal sister fights over clothes and me copying her (as younger siblings are known to do) however i would not have made it as far in life as i have without her. No matter how bad we were fighting or how far away we've lived if i needed her she would not hesitate to be there for me. She has shown me so many things in life, both of wisdom and of pure goofyness. I could go on and on about how amazing of an older sister i have however I'll leave it with this. In elementary school we had to write about our real life role models and i had ZERO clue who i was going to do, i spent the week really thinking about it and i picked my sister because she was the coolest person i knew, the smartest person i knew, she always had the best style, and she always knew what to say to make the people around her feel better. I wouldn't be the funny sarcastic goof i am today without you sis so thank you.

Bjern is my dear childhood friend. Him and I spend many, many hours making up silly games and getting into hijinks together. (Fun fact him, selena, and I briefly tried to start a band before) I have watched this man grow from the super shy kid who hides behind his hair and who I'd play extra loud for in band so no one would see he wasnt to a charismatic outgoing adult who will *politely* correct you for being ignorant. We briefly lost connection late high school, so I can not express how grateful i am that we have reconnected as adults. Ask him about dinosaurs or egyption mythology, and you will leave knowing a lot of fun facts. He is a hilarious meme dealer, has the funnest of facts, the best DnD characters, and is an extremely extremely talented artist. (Also, shout out Susan (his mom) for staying with me 8th grade graduation when i was puking like the excorsist in the bathroom you an MVP)

Brianna and I worked at the same starbucks together. Day one she decided i was cool enough to be her friend and here we are now! We may not see each other a lot but i know i can always count on her. I The thing about Brianna is she cares so deeply for everyone that you mention you like something in passing ONCE she will get it 2 birthdays later because she already had plans for the ones before. She sees the darkness in the world and says fuck that and gives her all to make people's day brighter, not for anything in return but because thats what makes her happy. Talk to her about her interests or even yours and you'll see her whole aura just light up and glow.
