Mere has been my best friend since the summer before starting college. I met her in the GMU facebook group and we planned to meet in noodles and company in fairfax. We were there for 3 hours and we instantly bonded on the fact that we had to go to mason, but didn't really want to. From that moment on, we spent every school year living together, we joined the same sorority, have been on several vacations together and so much more. When I got engaged, I knew that mere would be the perfect MOH (not just because she has a background in planning weddings ;) ), but because she has always been there for me through it all and I can't get married without her by my side!!

Megan has been my best friend since freshman year of high school. We bonded over boy bands and the fact that she was from London. She was thrilled that I was a swimmer, and she was at every swim meet to cheer me on (unless their was a high school football game). When we went to separate colleges, it was tough, but we made several planned and surprise visits to each other. Through birthdays and holidays, Megan and I have managed to be there for each other, and I cannot wait to have her by my side for my big day!

Allie and I met my sophomore year at mason. We were in the same patho class and would both awkwardly smile and wave at each other. It wasn't until a group quiz together that we realized we were almost the same person. Allie and I powered through nursing school together. She was my date to several date parties and to this day, we still take each other as our plus ones ;). My first year outside of college was tough, starting a new job in a new state was not easy. I will be forever blessed Allie and I started a new journey together in NC, and she was always there to make me laugh and help me pay the electric bill. I can't wait to have her by my side on my big day!

Kelly and I met when I was a freshman in college. She was always the girl to make you laugh instantly. Living with Kelly for 3 years was such a time. From drinking wine on the couch, to smelling her brussel sprouts in the oven from upstairs, Kelly has always managed to make me laugh and keep me in a good mood. We had several study sessions together, but also several night outs together as well. Kelly has one of the biggest hearts, and I cannot wait to have her by my side on the biggest day of my life. She will help keep me calm and fix my makeup when I cry!

Lauren and I met through my husband to be. She has been his best friend since early high school, but my best friend since senior year of high school. Lauren has been there for me for every step in this relationship. She has been the middle man in all of our fights (she ended up siding with me most of the time). She managed to make her way on a lot of our dates in the first year of our relationship. I truly enjoyed having her on my dates (Jake has been the third wheel when it comes to us most of the time). Through college, we kept in close touch and made several visits to each other. She has gotten me through a lot, and I can't wait to have her by my side on my big day (and to keep the wine coming all night long)!

Julia was (and is) my little from my sorority. I messaged Julia on facebook summer going into my sophomore year when I saw she was going to mason and I thought she was the cutest gal. She was super nerdy (just like me) and she was so excited to be at mason. I needed that excitement because I just was not super excited about mason, but could never leave because of my amazing friends. Julia joined my sorority and the entire sorority basically knew wed be big and little. Julia has been there for me through so much and I cannot wait to share this special day with her!

Casey was (and still is) my second little in my sorority. Casey came to mason for her second semester of freshman year. I KNEW I needed her to be my child, and make Julia a twin, as we call it in greek life. She was extremely nervous starting at a new school, but I took her under my wing and we were best friends instantly. She even joined Meredith Kelly and I for our senior year in our apartment, and we can all admit, she kept us alive and young. From making pasta at 2am, from drinking starbucks in my room the night after going out, we have had some amazing times together, and I cannot wait to have you by my side on my big day!

Lizzie is my future sister-in-law. When I first started dating Jake, Lizzie was super shy and unsure of me. I think she was overwhelmed with how bubbly I was. After a few months dating her brother, she warmed up to me, and now she has been like a sister to me. I would pick her up from school on friday's, bring her to her friends houses on the weekends, and I have even taken her to doctor appointments! I am so happy to officially be apart of the family that has been my second family for years now! I can't wait to have her by my side as I marry into her family!
