Seth and I first met in January 2014. We were teammates on a softball team. We soon became friends through our common experiences of softball and the military. Six months after meeting, we became roommates at an apartment in Fort Worth. Seth has known my relationship with Jenny from the beginning, and is the perfect choice to stand beside me as my Best Man.

Michele and I met in 2012 at First Baptist Church Dallas. We quickly became friends through our common interests of Jesus, fine restaurants, music and sass. As the years have passed and we both moved to different states, our friendship has only grown stronger. I am so blessed to call her one of my best friends and my Maid of Honor!

Mike and I met in 2012 at a softball game when he subbed for our team. He helped introduce me to other players, who turned into my close friends. He's an easy and fun person to be around, and he is someone who has pushed me to be a better person and softball player. I'm honored to have him as my groomsman.

Emily and I also met in May 2012 at First Baptist Church Dallas. Emily has a warm and welcoming demeanor and was one of the first connections I made at the church. She has a heart for others and loves hearing other people's stories. I am so honored she made an effort to listen to my story and since has become one of my best friends. Words can't express how glad I am to have her beside me on April 24th!

Sometimes you meet someone, and you instantly have a connection. This is how Laura Matisoff and I were when we met in May 2015 when I started working at Collin College. Laura is kind, sentimental and hilarious. I am so thankful she and I work in the same place every day and that I became such great friends with this wonderful woman!

I met Brad in February 2015 when I started my new job at WorkSoft. He has been influential in my life from the near beginning of my career at WorkSoft. We were at lunch and he asked me about church and Jesus. He didn't know it then, but he was an answered prayer for more godly men in my life. Since then, he has been like a mentor to me, pushing me in my faith and my personal life. I am beyond grateful that he is a groomsman.

I met Zach when he began dating my sister, Angela, in 2007. I didn't know then that he would become such a good friend and brother-in-law to me. I have lived with him, served with him in the Navy, and spent many holidays with him. He and my sister are the closest siblings that I have, and I'm thankful he will be standing beside me as a groomsmen on my big day!

The wedding would not be complete without this beautiful woman. Angela is Michael's older sister. She has a wonderful heart for the Lord and is an inspiring mother, wife and athlete. I am so proud to be able to call her my future sister and am so thankful she will be a part of our wedding!
