Katie is my big sister, and she truly knows a version of me that no one else does. Although it quite literally takes her hours to days to compose an email, she's ready to drop anything whenever I call. Katie and I share a love for the outdoors, the same taste in music, and the wish that someday we'll get to live in the same town again. I'm so blessed to have a sister-turned-best-friend like Katie, and it makes me so happy to see her bicker with John the same way she does with Sean and I.

Mason has been one my most loyal friends and has always supported me no matter how far away his job takes him. We have always remained close and he is someone I can always count on. As a loyal friend, Mason flew out to Denver to be a part of Erin and I's engagement party. Growing up, Mason always made sure to take me hunting and fishing with him and we spent many mornings waking up early to get to the best spots. I hope we will be able to spend more time like that in the future!

Natalie is my best friend in the world, and probably my soul mate (sorry John). When I think of our friendship, I often think about the countless nights we spent laughing so hard we were crying and gasping for breath, but can't ever seem to remember why we were laughing in the first place. Natalie is as selfless as she is hilarious, and she's the kind of friend who chooses you over and over again -- so I'm happy I could repay the favor by choosing her as one of my maids of honor!

Blake and I lived together for 3 years while we were studying at Montana State University. Like Mason, Blake and I have actively pursued the outdoors together many times. Feel free to ask Blake about our overnight float trip down the North Fork or our backpacking trip into the Jewell Basin and I'm sure he will be happy to tell you about all of our shortcomings as outdoor planners.

Emma has been one of my best friends since the 3rd grade! We bonded over many seasons of softball from elementary through high school, and lived together our senior year in Bozeman. Emma has always shown up for me in the most authentic way and we always have the best time together, whether it's a wine night in the backyard listening to T-Swift or nerding out over books we've read. Emma & John also bicker like siblings, which adds up because she's like a sister to me.

Noah has been a part of many of my core memories at every stage of my life. Although he might've influenced me to get into trouble a few too many times, I always will appreciate that he would be jumping into it right by my side. Today, I can always count on Noah support when it comes to trying new things, celebrating personal victories, or taking on new challenges.

Kyla and I met in college at Montana State, but became best friends through Blake & John. Since then, we've gone on countless camping and fishing trips, had memorable nights together at concerts, get emotional about growing old together (Blake & John being the supporting characters), and I even officiated Kyla & Blake's wedding in September! Kyla is a fierce friend to me, and I'm so grateful she is always there to support John & I.

Dylan was one of the first friends I ever had a playdate with. That was of course arranged by our parents in Kindergarten. I guess you could say it went pretty well because we have maintained our friendship ever since. I love having Dylan around at any event because he will help you create a great memory no matter what. If Dylan ever says he's not able to attend any outing with friends, you can ask him twice and he's all in!

Alexis and I met my sophomore year when Natalie and I moved in as random roommates! Although scary at first, we've been best friends ever since. We lived together for three years in college, so Alexis has gotten the distinct pleasure of acting annoyed by John and I from the very beginning. She always shows up for the big moments, and I love her for it. If you can't find her, she is probably the last bridesmaid getting ready, but she'll make it down the aisle!

Known for his enthusiasm and energy, Colton has encouraged me to always put my best foot forward no matter what. When he's not watching Marvel movies, Colton loves any sort of experience that involves his friends. You can usually find him out on the lake, in a bar, or playing with the dog at the party. I have been lucky to have his friendship for most of my life.

Keeley is my younger cousin, but in our family, a cousin is really just a built in best friend. We grew up spending every holiday and plenty summer weekends together, choreographing extensive dance routines that we'd subject our entire family to watching. I can always depend on Keeley for a great time, and I expect to spend a good portion of the night with her on the dance floor, reliving our glory days.

Jack and I met in our 7th Grade English class taught by Mr. Warner. When we weren't submitting extraordinary class projects, we were slowly becoming the class clowns. I believe Mr. Warner still may cash in the IOU we wrote him for breaking a class lamp. We have shared many of the same memories with other groomsmen hunting, fishing, and backpacking throughout high school and college.

Molly is my even younger cousin, meaning she most often acted as our understudy during previously mentioned dance performances. One of my favorite parts about Molly getting older has been the friendship we've built in adulthood. Molly has always been a bright light and a comfort to me at every family gathering, and I can't imagine my wedding day without her. You will probably find her now showing up Keeley and I on the dance floor.

Jake and I became friends over time spending most weekends in a mutual friends basement in high school. We then decided we would be great roommates in college after spending our freshman year in Kalispell at FVCC. Jake has always pursued any opportunity put in his path relentlessly and even though we now live 15 hours a part, I will always keep his friendship close.

Sammy is my youngest cousin! She has always been the glue that holds all of the cousins together. Whether it's calling you to make sure you're coming to the cabin that weekend or wanting to stay up late in the night to play another card game, Sammy reminds us how important family is and she keeps us all young! I am so excited to have her there as a part of our wedding day.

It's crazy to think that Sean and I have known each other for the past 5 years. In that time I've been able to watch him succeed immensely in high school and follow in some hard footsteps academically after both of his sisters. Sean and I like to sneak off to play video games often and I will never forget the magic tricks he showed me the first time we met.
