If you know me, you know Richie. Even if you haven’t met him, I have probably told you everything there is to know. Our inside jokes, road trip adventures, and even stupid little arguments. He means the world to me, and I am so happy to show off my baby brother as my Man of Honor!

Julie and I met in the fourth grade… or was it third? Honestly, we were so young I don’t even remember! I just know that ever since then, we have been best friends. I am so lucky to have someone like her in my life. We can go weeks or months without talking, and still pick up exactly where we left off. As one of my oldest friends, it is an honor to have her on my side at my wedding.

Christy and I met in 6th grade, she was brand new to our school and we were placed in the same class right next to each other. I knew then that we would probably have lunch together, but I had no idea she would be in my wedding. We then lost touch after high school for years. When I moved back to Yuma, we ran into each other at Target and talked for like 3 hours. She was late to her dad’s birthday party. I was so happy that we went right back to being friends. She is the kind of person you can hang out with in any mood. Sad, happy, angry, she can handle it and is always there for you. Everyone in life, should have their Christy.

I don’t really remember meeting Anna because it feels like I’ve known her my entire life. She was always just Anna, one of my best friends, who also happens to be Bryan’s cousin. Who would have thought I could find such an amazing friendship in someone who I’m lucky enough to now call family? Life dealt me some good cards with Anna on my side.

The first time Mae and I met, I drove her to the store to buy boxed hair dye, and we all dyed her hair over the bathroom sink. If that doesn’t describe Mae and I’s relationship, I don’t know what does. Mae is not only Bryans little sister, but has become one of my siblings as well. I’ve loved her like my sister since we met way back then, and I will continue to adore her for the rest of my life.

Bella and I became friends in a very "elementary school" way during peak Covid. When I was living in Oceanside, I was in a thrift store and saw her working. I knew that she would be so cool to hang out with so I just went up and asked her to hang out. I cannot believe after all this time, I moved back to Arizona, she moved to Brazil, that we remain as close as we are. Well, actually I can believe it, because she’s the best.

Jacob and I met in second grade when he came to hang out with Sean. Shortly after that he realized I was the cooler sibling and we quickly became best friends!

My older brother, who I cannot remember spending a day of my childhood without. He will always be one of my best friends, and one of the closest people in my life.

My younger brother, who really keeps you on your toes. But you can’t help but love him. He’s so damn charming.

One of the coolest people I’ve met to date. He’s a true friend that will always have my back!

Gray is my older cousin who has always been more of a brother to me. He’s always there if I need advice or someone to talk to.

Me and Rilossss! This guy is the best. We’ve been so close for so long. I can’t imagine my life without him
