Austin is the oldest of my 3 younger brothers and so of all groomsmen I have known him the longest. Austin always brings an unmatchable energy to the room when he is around that encourages everyone to be their most genuine self. Watching him grow up has been a privilege and as his competitive older brother, his growth pushes me to be my best self.

Allison is my cousin and also one of my best friends. We grew up together and have had many fun adventures together over the years. She does her very best to make everyone around her feel special and loved. Always up for a new challenge or adventure, Allison shows me how fun it can be to push yourself and try new things.

Joshua is my next oldest brother. Josh always has a positive attitude and humorous outlook on life. His one liners and quippy responses can always bring a smile to my face. He is a great reminder to "not sweat the small stuff and live in the moment".

Liz has been one of my best friends since high school. Unfortunately, I don't get to see her near as often as I would like since she moved to Ireland. I can always count on Liz to give me a laugh, listen to my problems, or make me feel like my best self. I've always admired Liz's determination to follow her dreams and go where her heart desires.

Ian is my youngest brother. I have not met someone who is more driven. What he is able to accomplish between athletics and academics blows my mind. Yet when its time to spend time with family he always is able to make that a priority while managing his many responsibilities. Even if he is my baby brother, he teaches me anything is possible.

What started as a work relationship quickly blossomed into a best friendship. Stephanie and I have had many fun times together and she is one of my closest confidants. Living so close together has truly been a blessing and I'm not sure what I would do without her so close. She hypes me up to be my authentic self and is always there when I need her.

Tyler is one of my closest friends from high school. We have been through many adventures together and been there for each other when we needed support. Tyler is only ever a phone call away. Tyler shows me the importance of a support network.

Emily was also one of my co-workers that has turned into a close friendship. Emily and I immediately clicked after meeting and were almost inseparable when we worked together. Although I don't get to see her as often anymore, I can always count on her for a laugh or support when needed.

Collin is my oldest and longest lasting friend. He is a giving person, a reliable friend, and accountability partner. He is always willing to go the extra mile as a friend despite inconvenience. Collin does not let me be anything but the best version of myself.

Bri is my future sister-in-law. Although we don't get to see each other often due to living in separate states, I have had fun with her every time we've seen each other. She has such a fun personality and I can't wait to officially call her family.

Jason is a close friend from college and a large reason I was able to get through school. Jason was my partner in most of my projects that we were assigned for classes. He always knew how to dial in and get the job done, but found time to relax and have fun. He taught me the importance of balancing hard work and fun.

Although I have known Heather the shortest out of all of my bridesmaids, she quickly became one of my closest friends. She has such a fun, loving personality and has become a big part of my support system. Whether it's wine walks, work activities, or just running into her at the gym, she's always a joy to be around.

Nathan is my future brother in law. He is a great dad and drinking partner. Nathan shows me that a good friend can come from anywhere.

Halie is also my future sister-in-law. Halie and I have become very close over the years of her dealing with my brother and I am so glad to call her one of my closest friends now. Whether we're going out for drinks or hanging out at a family gathering, I know we're going to have a good time.
