Katrina is Julia's sister in law but also her newest built in best friend. Julia claims they’d be friends in another life if she hadn’t married her twin brother, David. Julia doesn't go a week without mentioning she is obsessed with Katrina. These two can be often seen laughing and sharing their love for dark humor. Who knew Julia would get so lucky in the sister in-law department!

Jordyn is one of Julia's longest friends, dating back to the days of Sunny D, skateboards, and after school ramen. She is the introverted homebody to Julia's social butterfly, often bringing Julia the balance she needs. Since graduating from their prospective colleges, these two have not gone more than a couple days without a Facetime, you can ask Tyler and Brian. Jordyn's the first call when Julia needs fashion advice or needs to vent. They always joke that Brian, Julia, Jordyn, and Tyler, would one day move next door to each other. Who knows! Maybe they will ;)

Alana, also one of Julia’s longest friends, grew up 2 houses down from Julia, so their friendship was only fate. They first met on the corner of Coyle and Lavergne, where Alana asked if Julia wanted to be her friend. There has not been a breach in their friendship since that summer day in 2003. They have always shared a love for having a good time, good food, and goofing around. These two grew more into sisters than friends, over the last 22 years.

And Julia hits the jackpot again! Mackenzie is the cool older sister Julia never had. Sharing their love for sports, cocktails, dark humor, socializing & traveling, these two are a dangerous pair to invite to a party. Julia can always count on Mackenzie to show up to their rec league & drop quite a few mid-range jump shots too, a perk that often goes underrated.

Julia hits the jackpot for a third time. Madison is the cool younger sister Julia never had. She's always laughing at Julia's corny jokes and even some of the cringey ones. Madison, like Brian, is always cool as a cucumber and down for a good time making her the easiest person to have around.

Adriana and Julia's friendship is rooted on the foundation of Step Brother's quotes and fraternity boy voices (suhh dude). These two could never get into a fight, even if they tried, making their friendship effortless and easy. Julia has so many fond memories visiting Adriana in Dallas, making it her second favorite city after Chicago. Fun Fact: They often get comments claiming they sound and act the same... a compliment if you will.

Some of Julia's first & fondest memories with Sarah started off on many Bacardi Rum shots. Besides that, Julia and Sarah immediately hit it off because of their love for shopping. They did a number ($$$) at Bay Park Square & Fox River Mall in college, with the help of each other. Nothing was stopping those two from leaving campus to swipe their credit card. Their friendship today looks no different, good thing they don't live in the same state.

Where to even start... Jess, the quiet girl on the St. Norbert basketball team that Julia definitely thought was scared of her, turn adulthood-post-grad roommate and second cat-mom to Leaf and Louie. Julia and Jess were a dynamic duo in many ways throughout college, although opposite in so many ways. Jess was quiet, Julia was loud, you get the picture. You could often find them roaming random Wisconsin roads in search for an eclectic bookstore or cute cafe. Their love for R&B, cats, and cute nicknacks will never waiver.

Christine might be the coolest person Julia knows. A true testament to everything Julia loves about being a tomboy. She can always count on Christine to smoke a cigar, chug a beer, and lift some heavy weights with her. This is truly a dynamic duo for the century, one you don't often see from a pair of women. Don't be surprised if you catch them at Orange Theory the morning of the wedding or on the venue's patio, later that night, smoking a cigar.

The Kim to her Kanye, Jeana & Julia bonded on their love for fashion, music, and expensive things. Their fondness for all things Chicago, music, concerts, & shopping kept them close & busy when they went home from college for the summer. No matter how long, or how far, these two are just a quick Facetime away from a 3 hour conversation or a good night out. They could talk for days if you get them on the phone & also share a really unfortunate shopping addiction.

Shannon and Julia's friendship was love at first sight. Their dark sense of humor and open book policy made it effortless at becoming friends. No topic goes unspoken with these two and you can often find them laughing with moscow mules in hand. They relate in many organic ways, like being former D3 athletes, loving food, cocktails & country music.
