Tayler is my taller little sister. She's the voice of reason I can always count on and she's the one I brag about if I need to tell an outdoorsy story. She makes me laugh as she describes her close encounters with bears and wolves as if she bumped into a person at a bar. Don't let her tough exterior fool you as she has an incredible sense of humor. I couldn't imagine having anyone else stand by my side on my big day.

Nick Kopak is my little brother who I've known since (his) birth. He is one of the funniest people I know. He always has a witty comment to make in response to any topic. We share many interests such as music and gaming and I wouldn't have anyone else standing next to me on the big day..... other than my bride.

I knew Stephanie and I would be fast friends when she told me she didn't believe in using front doors. We survived awkward pre-teen years and braved high school together from Biochem (ugh) to running circles around Redmond. We both still act like children when we go to Disneyworld and even have our own Harry Potter wands. Stephanie is an intelligent, motivated, goofball and I have the pleasure of calling her one of my best friends.

I met Nicholas Fernando Santiago Romero in college through our fraternity. We were terrible at being in a fraternity. Nicky is one of the nicest and most indecisive people I've ever met. He would give the shirt off his back to someone without second thought but ask him what kind of pizza he wants to order and he'll just default to "I don't know, what kind do you want?" Had you told me in college that Nicky would turn out to be a Redmond cop, I would've called bullshit but here we are.

I met Thomas through work becuase he has the pleasure of working along side me at Eastside Staple & Nail. We've attended countless Seahawks, Mariners, and even Sounders games together and plan to attend many more. The true magic in our friendship can be highlighted by our shared geekism. From late night Diablo 3 sessions to me pretending to know what he's talking about when discussing Magic the Gathering strategy we've had some good times.

I met Krista my senior year of high school and before meeting her, I knew her as "the smiley one" though it felt I have known Krista much longer. We quickly bonded over our spontaneous adventures around Redmond; from dancing in the aisles of QFC after hours to climbing fences for twilight lake jumping. We'd trade wild nights out to stay in and build forts. Krista is the extrovert to my introvert and I still don't know what is bigger, Krista's smile or her wanderlust.

Sean aka "Tall Like Tree" and I met in college through, you guessed it, our fraternity. God, he's so tall. Sean has always been a great friend. He's hard working with a great sense of humor. We lived together for three amazing years during our stint at UofA. I had the privilege of being in His and Courtney's wedding and I could not be more happy to include him in mine.

I met Gabi on Bid Day 2008 at Gamma Phi Beta and FIJI formal in college. From super side swept bangs, Cougar Football Saturday, and day long brunches, Gabi exudes energy and lights up any room she enters. What I absolutely love about Gabi is her authentic and unapologetic passion for life. She has one of the most infectious laughs and I can always count on her to be up for anything.

Seany. Where to begin? We met through Nicky. Nicky and Sean were friends in high school in AZ and then we all attended UofA. He seemed a little sketchy at first. I didn't trust that Dexter looking face from the beginning. In all seriousness, he's an unbelievable friend. He loves to come visit us in Washington and those long weekends are some of the most fun I have throughout the year. We wander and find good beer spots and usually end our nights gaming. Heaven

Taylor is Justin's little sister! One of the first things I noticed about Taylor is her affinity for animals, followed by her creativity, and her love of the outdoors. I was a little nervous to meet Taylor as Justin's sister but my nerves evaporated once I discovered we shared a passion for binge watching Netflix , discussing how creepy serial killers are, and the best gluten free recipes/shops. I am so excited to add another sister to my family and have Taylor stand with Justin and I on our big day!

Jason is my cousin. He's one of the best people I know in this world. He has the biggest heart of anyone and wants to do nothing but good. From rounds of golf to game night to family gatherings, I always enjoy time spent with Jason. It's tougher now that we have three kids between the two of us. By the way, I have zero children.

I met Megan on the soccer field and that was enough for us to decide to be roommates! We navigated our early 20's and how to use Uber and find jobs we didn't hate. She is vivacious, genuine, and gregarious. Most of our sentences continue to start with "is it weird..." and end with her booming giggle. Even though shes a 49'ers fan and from California, I've adopted her as a Seattle native and the older sister I never had.
