Hanna is not only my future sister-in-law, but she's also a fellow Taco Bell aficionado. Hanna and I have gotten to know each other through roadtrips and hours of talking, plotting, and trying to convince Hayden it's okay to eat Taco Bell once a week. Hanna has an infectious laugh and always cracks me up with her jokes.

Mitchell and I met in the UA rec center during my junior year of college. Initially bonding over a mutual love of strength sports, our relationship eventually grew from simple gym buddies into the steadfast friendship that it is today over years of thoughtful discussions, training together, and generally just spending time together. Mitchell is the most intelligent and genuinely kind person I know and I am proud to be able to share this day with him.

Taylor and I met in 6th grade at Lowndes Middle School in Valdosta, Georgia. By 7th grade, we were best friends. Our remaining middle and high school years were spent together: playing softball, suffering through Georgia's oppressing heat during band camp, staying up way too late than was good for us, and sharing incalculable moments together until I left Valdosta to attend the University of Alabama. We now live 7 hours apart, but we still visit each other as often as possible. However, I miss getting to spend endless hours with one of the most loyal and kindest people I know.

Daniel and I have known each other the better part of twenty years, first meeting when we were around eight while playing little league baseball. However, our friendship became what it is now at the tail end of high school. Countless hours of games, terrible jokes, sharing life advice, and generally just spending time together doing stupid things over the last decade have forged this friendship into something more akin to brotherhood. Numerous moves and life circumstances keep alternating between bringing us closer and taking us farther apart, but he still remains my best friend and I can't wait for him to stand beside me on my wedding day.
