Lindsey is my ultimate best friend in life. She has been by my side through so much and I’m so excited to have her next to me on our big day. Luckily, we worked through the part where she would get mad at me for stealing all her clothes…or jewelry…or shoes, and now we just buy the same things! She’s my biggest fan, from surprising me at my college softball games, to supporting me in my nursing career. On a more serious note, I couldn’t imagine having a better role model to look up to throughout life.

Joshmer is my little brother. He was always my shadow following my friends and I wherever we went as kids. We played sports and games and the competition was intense. He would get obliterated on the court/field by my friends sometimes but he was scrappy and he would get right back in the mix (we made you a man Josh)! Today Josh lives in Jersey City about an hour away from me and he is my closest person. We talk sports and life and sports and family and…..sports. I’m looking forward to having him standing next to me on the most important day of my life. (Go Steelers!)

April has felt like a sister to me since we’ve met. We love Mexicali nights, sharing book recommendations, or just hanging out. She’s always putting others before herself, and always makes me feel celebrated during nurses week, even though it’s also teachers week. I know I can always count on her to be there when I need it.

Reilly’s brother has become the older brother I never had. From our late night video game sessions to dinners, darts and snowboarding he is always up for an adventure or a good time. I look forward to a lifetime of fun with him and the McMahon family.

Ever since Ashley and Patrick started dating, she’s fit right into the “McMahon Clan”. We love talking book recommendations, meal prep options or meeting up to go skiing! When you talk to her, you feel like you’ve known her your whole life, which is something I admire most about her.

My future brother-in-law is one of the greatest people I know. He makes family vacations memorable and he’s “almost” as funny as I am. He is extremely generous and a great family man. He’s a super role model as a partner and a dad.

I met Brianna through one of Kevin’s college best friend’s, Chris Paulino. We immediately hit it off as friends and I couldn’t imagine life without her. She’s the definition of a girls girl & is always down for sporadic plans! Fun fact: Shortly after we met, we booked a girls trip to Florida! (Sorry not sorry boys!)

I met Chris at Coastal Carolina. We both headed North and took jobs at neighboring golf clubs. As the years have progressed he has become one of my closest friends and we are now also neighbors in the same apartment building. He is Summer’s favorite Uncle!

I met Jess when we were both new graduate nurses in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Funny story, she actually messaged me through my work email to help me out with some paperwork, but I never saw it. Our similar personalities found each other anyway, and our friendship was born. We grew up as nurses on that unit & handled delivery’s and admissions together. Everyone knew if we could make ANYTHING a 2 person job, we would. Recently we took a trip to the Dominican Republic together to provide healthcare & deliver clean water. I know I can always call her for anything and she matches my energy, always!

Nick and I go back to the good old days. He is one of my best friends and from my neighborhood. From playing sports together to hanging after school he was always there. Even though our lives have taken us in different directions, whenever we meet up we never miss a beat!

I met Janelle during nursing school, and truthfully I don’t think I could’ve done it without her. From cramming for exams together to nights out, she’s been there for me without fail. Funny enough, we both now live in Stamford, CT and enjoy finding the best espresso martinis on our nights out!

Anto and I were roommates in college and have been friends since the day we met. High-jinx and good times were had. Time, distance and life events will never get in the way of this life long friendship.
