A true friend my entire life, Hayden is the closest I've ever had to a brother. We've seen each other grow of the years (him a little less than me) and he has always been there. I've been very lucky to have had such a good friend. He is very mature in his faith a great role model in every part of his life.

Also known as Clint, he has been my roommate for the last five years and friend since elementary school. I can't remember when we met, it just seems like we have always been friends. He's been right alongside me for the most formative years of my life and I couldn't imagine not having him next to me on this day.

We have been close friends since freshman year of high school when Hayden abandoned us on the archery team. We spent most of those practices talking to each other almost exclusively. The four years spent on that team were awesome and a lot of that was due to Hutton. He's been a great friend over the years and I'm so happy to have him standing up there with me.

Will has been a constant friend since middle school where we first became friends over a mutual love of Minecraft. Since then we have managed to be in almost very class together. He is one of the smartest people I know and he has definitely carried me through a cs project or two. I'm thankful for his friendship and I'm very happy to have him by my side.

My sister, aka my second mom. When I was younger, Amber was always mistaken as my mom because she was always taking care of me and I was always following her around. To this day she's still my second mom, just all the way in Florida. There's no one else I'd want more to stand next to me on my big day. I couldn't ask for a better sister.

Anna is one of my longest friends going all the way back to when we were babies. We were both adopted from the same orphanage in China. Because of this, we'd always pretend we were sisters when we were younger. We had many sleepovers spent throwing fake Payday money and UNO cards at each other in anger. I know she'll be a great elementary school teacher, even if she'll be the same height as her students.

Grace and I became friends while I was working at Chickfila. Our friendship quickly grew during covid when we were playing volleyball and ultimate frisbee in the morning, then working together at night basically every day. We've had so many interesting times throughout my 4 years at Chickfila with stories to last a lifetime. Grace is one of the funniest people I know and I'm so thankful to have her as a friend.

Avery and I have been friends since we were babies and we also happen to be cousins. Whenever we would see each other when we were younger, we were always together in our own little world. We bond over our love of books, board games, Harry Potter, and Twilight. Avery is a great cousin and an even better friend. (Warning: we will spend hours playing Payday and Dutch Blitz)
