•Sister of the Bride• For the longest time while we were growing up, Haley was like my shadow.. always following me around, always wanting to do what I did. And for the longest time I was annoyed by it. But as we’ve grown up, I can now better appreciate the special bond we have always shared. Haley is so much more than my sister.. she’s truly my best friend. We may not always see eye to eye and we may get on each others nerves quite often but Haley is the person I go to about anything, she literally knows every single deep dark secret. And whether she knows it or not, I don’t know what I’d do without her (or who’d I’d go with on all my crazy adventures!) we have done so much throughout the years and traveled to so many places.. all of which are memories I’ll never forget. So there is honestly no other person I’d rather have standing right by my side on our special day than her!

•Friend of the Bride• My very first best friend, Grace and I originally met back in first grade when we were assigned to the same class. We talked a bit in school, but it wasn’t until about half way through the school year when we found out that my uncle and her dad were coworkers/friends that we really became close. After our families found that out, I was tagging along to every poker night her dad threw, just so we could hang out all night. Ever since then we’ve been pretty much inseparable. So many sleepovers, birthday parties, and school dances. Softball, Girl Scouts.. we literally did everything together, and that included getting into trouble! Like the time we tried to make slime and got it alllll over her parents kitchen and bathroom. So many good memories! Truly my sister from a different mister!

•Sister-In-Law of the Bride• Julie is my older brother, Tony’s, wife. I was fairly young when Julie married my brother, I think I was only in like 3rd or 4th grade at the time. So growing up, Julie was always like the older sister I never had… I looked up to her more than she probably knew. Some of my favorite memories growing up were of Julie watching my sister and I, or her going with me to my Girl Scout outings! It’s was always such a fun time!

•Friend of the Bride• Kristie and I met in second grade, we were in the same class. It was Kristie’s first year in our school and I remember her always being the tiniest little thing, but despite that she’s always had the biggest heart! Kristie is one of the most down to earth, kind people I know. Who is always checking in on me and asking me to hang out (which is so very appreciated). Kristie has been through a lot in her life, but the strength she has, the way she’s always pushed through it, makes her a huge inspiration to me!

•Friend of the Bride• Deanna and I met in third grade. Again, we happened to be in the same class. The funny thing though… for the longest time our third grade year, I was actually scared of her (although at this point, I couldn’t even tell you why) Until one day, our teacher moved us next to each other in class and we actually got the chance to talk.. I was like “you know what? This girl isn’t so bad” And after that we kinda just became friends. Like so close people actually thought we were dating in high school… but that’s a story for a different day. If I had to label my friendship with Deanna, I would definitely say she’s my voice of reason. Honestly one of the smartest, most level headed, dependable people I know.. who is always down for a good work rant session!

•Friend of the Bride• While Nico is my newest friend, he’s no less important to me. Nico and I first met when he started working at where I was working at the time. You ever see somebody and think to yourself.. “that person seems really cool, I really want to be their friend” well that was me when Nico started. And sure enough, after bonding over our similar interests and our distain for our job (oh and having to take him to the hospital while we were at work that one time) we became really close! 10/10 the friend I’d call if I needed to fight someone lol

•Cousin of the Groom• Ryan and I have always been super close! From a young age we were making YouTube videos together and taking turns playing Roblox on the family computer. Wherever you wondered where I was, all you would just have to do is find Ryan!

•Friend of the Groom• This is William! Him and I used to walk to and from school everyday, and in the mornings you’d most likely find us sitting next to each other at breakfast playing magic. We may have had our fair share of arguments throughout years, whether it be over something serious or magic rulings and anime. There is no doubt that William has always been like a brother to me!

•Friend of the Groom• Travis is one of my friends I met in Boy Scouts. We’ve literally been through thick and thin together, which definitely includes all those frigid campouts we went on and learning wilderness survival skills together! Travis is my motivation friend, always encouraging me to “get off my lazy butt".

•Friend of the Groom• Trevor was a friend I met later in life.. he was a good friend of my other friend, Travis. It was because of that, that we became really close as well! Ever since he tagged along for Magic the Gathering nights at my dining room table.

•Friend of the Groom• James and I met back in school. James was new in town and had the same route as William and I every morning to school. James became acquainted with William's sister, so they’d walk to school every morning. That eventually led to them waiting for William and I and we’d all walk to school together. Ever since then James and I have bonded over computer cleaning and laughing over honestly the stupidest things. Every time the two of us are together it’s a great time!

•Friend of the Groom• TJ, Also known as "Hobo", is my current housemate. TJs always been like a bigger brother to me.. always popping into my room and asking me If I want to hangout. TJ is hands down one of the first few friends I go to when I’m feeling like going on a “store adventure”!

•Niece of the Bride• Lily is my oldest niece. Let me tell you, this little girl has a heart of gold, and she is beyond talented! It’s been amazing watching her grow up.. I’ll never forget holding her the day she was born! Now to think that little baby is going to be a part of my wedding is crazy! But I’m so glad she is going to be a part of our special day!

•Niece of the Bride• This little cutie is my youngest niece, Camellia! Cam is definitely the most reserved out of all my nieces and nephews, but don’t let that fool you… once you get her talking she doesn’t stop! And I LIVE for her sassiness, truly a girl after my own heart! Like all my nieces and nephews, it’s been an absolute privilege to watch Cam grow up and become her own person throughout the years. And I’ve loved watching her come out of her shell more and more! I’ll never forget when I took the kids to Great Wolf Lodge and she demanded we ride her favorite waterside over and over… and we did just that!

•Cousin of the Groom• Andrew has been like my little brother ever since he was born! My favorite memory with Andrew was when I was reading an English paper of his (from when he was much younger) and it saying "Let me tel you al bout tegrie sharks" - I remember trying to read his gibberish and how we both bursted out laughing because of it. Thats when I knew that we were going to have a great bond that would last forever.

• Nephew of the Bride• AJ, who I lovingly refer to as “punk” was the kid that made me an aunt. I’ll never forget how excited I was in 5th grade to find out I was going to have a nephew. It’s been a blast throughout the years babysitting him and then later him and his sisters. He’s never failed to keep me on my toes! I’ll never forget the time I was babysitting him and he thought it was a good idea to take every single can out of the cupboards and stack them on top of each other in his living room… good times.

•God Daughter of the Groom• This bundle of adorable cuteness is my God Daughter. My most favorite memory with Lacy is when her mom Anna and I brought her to the playground for her first time ever when she was really little! She had such a blast, it was so much fun!

•Daughter of Friend of the Bride• This is little miss Viv! She is my best friend Graces daughter! It’s been such an amazing experience watching the girl I’ve been so close with since I was so young becoming a mother! And it’s been amazing watching Viv grow up into her own lil person as well! Grace has been such a great mommy. I am so proud of her for all she has accomplished in life so far! And I can’t wait to see all Vivian will grow up to become
