As most of you know, Carter is my brother; my younger brother to those who may have thought otherwise wise, lol. As my one and only sibling, it’s an honor to have him as my right wing the day Joshua and I get married. I’ve always looked up to him, whether it’s physically, mentally or emotionally. Thanks for giving me reality checks, being my life long bestfriend and being my person. I can’t wait for you to continue to stand by my side through thick and thin!

Where to being this introduction! Again, as most of you know, Mary and I met at Potsdam. Now I wasn’t 100% sure about Mary because her laugh could be heard 3 miles down the road, she is literally the definition of a walking dictionary and her quirks were unimaginable. However, it didn’t take long for me to realize that her weird self matched my weirdness and ever since then, we’ve been tied at the hip. Especially through our shared love of cats! Thanks for always being a call away, the best plus one when it comes to vacations and adopting my family as yours.

Alike Potsdam, I met Paige at SUNY Adirondack. Which as many of you may not know was 9 whole years ago! I’ll always remember how much her straight black hair and black eye liner intimidated me. I told myself “woah, I don’t want to get in this girls way”. Wellll fast forward just a few weeks and I couldn’t imagine my life without her. Paige wears her heart on her sleeve, she’s hilarious, she loves her naps, like me, and would do anything for anyone who needed her. Thank you for standing by my side through life P.

Even though it’s only been 5 years of knowing Elana, she’s definitely my go to girl for any random adventure, shopping trip and/or dinner date. I met Elana the year I moved to Lowville. She was a little intimidating at first due to her height and volleyball skills, but she also was so sweet. She made me feel included even when I knew nobody. She’s always had my back since I’ve moved here and I’m so happy she gets to stand by my side as I marry my bestfriend. So much love and gratitude for this girl.

Having Austin stand by my side as my brother and one of my groomsmen means the world to me. Growing up together, we’ve shared a lifetime of memories, lessons, laughs, and challenges that have shaped the bond we have today. On one of the biggest days of my life, it only feels right to have him standing beside me. I’m proud to call him my brother, and even prouder to share this moment with him.

From childhood memories to our milestones we celebrate today, Josh has been a brother to me. Through all the years, our friendship has only grown stronger, and I’m incredibly grateful for the bond we share. Even if we don’t get to see as much of each other as we used to. Having you stand by my side as one of my groomsmen on my wedding day feels like the perfect way to honor a friendship that has meant so much to me. I’m proud to call you my friend  and even prouder to have you beside me on this unforgettable day.

Dylan has been one of my lifelong friends, someone who has been there through every stage of life—the good times, the challenges, and everything in between. I’m grateful for the countless laughs and unforgettable moments we’ve shared. From playing basketball in elementary to against one another in college we have seen it all. Dylan is truly a brother to me and I would never consider him anything less.  Having him with me on one of the most important days of my life makes it even more special.

Even though our friendship hasn’t been as long as some others, the impact Quinn has on my life has been just as meaningful. We spend most of the time fishing, hunting and hangout, but he also brings laughter, support, and genuine friendship into each moment. Your friendship has been a blessing, and I’m grateful for the memories we’ve already made. Having you stand by my side as one of my groomsmen means a lot to me, and I’m proud to have you there to celebrate this next chapter of my life.

Wedding Party

Q + A

We’re getting married at the Drift Inn in Copenhagen, NY— tucked into good ole Lewis County’s country side. It’s a newer barn off the beaten path, that carries the most beautiful view of windmills, land and peacefulness.   The wedding will be outside the barn, in a pavilion with an open view. Once that comes to an end we will be moving the party inside. Weather dependent, it has availability to open up the reception to be inside/outside.
