My dorm-mate turned into my best friend! We took on college together, danced and drank in frat basements together, and grew into who we are today, together. The girl who truly "gets me" and made Ann Arbor my home away from home. It would have been hard to stay without her!

She's a lifer! A constant in my life since 6th grade. If I ever got into trouble, it was normally with her! My partner in crime, the girl who makes my cheeks and belly hurt after just a few hours together. We went through every phase of life together. She got me through high school!

Not just a cousin, a best friend! I've looked up to her my entire life, always turning to her for advice, and followed her footsteps to the University of Michigan. I'm thankful for her convincing - it lead me to meet the love of my life!

My sorority sister but truly more of a real sister. My "twin" throughout college. We were inseparable, to say the least. She quickly became the girl I'll forever call for anything and everything, my confidant. I wouldn't have survived nursing school, let alone college, without her!

As a duo, we waited in many long college bar lines together. She let me sleep in her dorm after a late night out the first week of becoming AXO pledges after only meeting me once. I knew then we'd be thick as thieves. College wouldn't have been the same without her!

Truly my rock in all aspects of life since middle school. She's always been my biggest supporter, the person I can share anything with, lean on, and who's always there no matter what. I can't imagine my life without her!

Since high school, this girl has always had my back! I'm forever grateful to have her in my corner. Life would be boring without her by my side. She's always down for anything and brings the party wherever she goes. The definition of "ride or die".

The friend I never knew I needed. We met in nursing school, were housemates in college, and made it to the Big House for every home football game together. My spur of the moment concert buddy who is always down to do spontaneous things with me!

My very first friend. Being just 3 months apart in age, our parents raised us like sisters. We've been through every big life milestone with each other and I can't wait to have her by my side for this one. I wouldn't be me without her!

My little best friend! The moment she was born in the summer of 2022, I knew right away who my flower girl was going to be. She is the sweetest and silliest little girl.

Forever in our hearts.
