Growing up, Dana and I were inseparable. We were always the cousins at the holiday parties begging for a sleep over at the end of the night. We never ever missed an opportunity to shop on Black Fridays, and probably went to every single genre of concerts you could think of. Most of all, she never left my side through all the good and the bad times so I couldn't imagine her not by my side for this important day.

I met Lauren my freshman year of college. We started to become friends while hiding in a bush playing man hunt during orientation. LOL Since then, we have had our share of adventures, my favorites being the race to beat the sunrise on the beach, the many craft store runs, and the spontaneous hangouts during the summer. My favorite thing about Lauren is her confidence and strong will. If you're looking for the most sassy woman in the room, look no further.

I met Madi after our sophmore year of college. We were both on the co-op schedule and had to go to summer semester. I don't remember much of what we learned that summer but I will never forget getting to know Madi. Looking back, I don't know what I would do without her constant positivity, wisdom, and support. We have our fun times like jumping off of bridges, dancing in West Chester, and dip&sip parties with our friends. When you think of the definition of a best friend, Madi comes to mind.

My freshman roomie! A series of events our freshman year brought us together as roommates and I am so happy it did. We grew together in college and were fortunate enough to continue living together after graduation in New Hope. Together, we can never turn down an opportunity to go wine tasting or dancing on tables together. Our memories are to be treasured and I am so happy to have Erika as a bridesmaid!

Another college roomate! Jeannie and I first became friends after joining Tri Sigma our freshman year. We later became roommates our sophomore year while living in the sorority house and never looked back. We were roommates all the rest of college and learned a lot about each other, like what time she goes for her Dunkin' run, or how many times her alarm will go off before she wakes up. There were a lot of tears, plenty of laughs, and a lifetime of memories I am thankful for forever.

I met Troy through SUNY Cortland at the climbing wall. We shared a love of the sport along with a similar sense of humor. Troy lives in upstate NY, but we've been able to connect when his career takes him to Jersey.

The climbing wall in Cortland proved to connect Deryk and I. He is an avid angler and as a hobby hand paints fishing lures. Deryk introduced Jill and I to Puerto Rico.

Summers at Charlie's in Long Island are some of the best times. I met Charlie at Cortland. We were both part of the Climbing Club. Most of the year you can catch Charlie on the slopes, white water rafting on the river, or climbing.

He is a true outdoorsman. Bode is a teacher and participant in most outdoor activities. My favorite activities with Bode are climbing and snowboarding.

Cody and I were soccer teammates at Wells College. We later became roommates at SUNY Cortland studying in the same Master's Program. We spent a lot of time watching Grand Designs, Star Wars, and playing Mario Kart.
