Picking a maid of honor or matron of honor is no easy task. I have picked the two girls that are what I've always imagined a sister to be like. This is Bri! We met in our high school health class. I just had the honor of being Bris maid of honor in her wedding and I am so proud of the women that we have both become. If you know me then you either know or have heard of Bri in some way. I have never been able to be my true self like I can with Bri. I am so thankful to have her Sam in our lives, and if you haven't you should meet them because they will always be in our lives.

Katie is my longest friendship and someone I can't think about for to long or I get emotional. It has been an honor to grow up with Katie even if a majority of it has been done 500 miles apart from each other. We started running on the same cross country team when I was 9 years old. When I moved to Florida I prayed that Katie would stay in my life. Thankfully she's still here! Her and her family have been the biggest blessing in my life. I couldn’t imagine her not being a part of the big day!

I am so thankful that I'll be able to call Kira my sister! Many of you already know Kira! We have gotten closer throughout the past few years and I am so grateful for that. Not only am I blessed to have her be a part of this day I know it means the world to Kody as well to have be up there with us! Kira is one of the hardest working individuals I have ever met and I am so excited to have a Nurse in the family!

Kait and I's friendship was unexpected! The first time I met her I slept on her floor because Bri and I were going to a concert in Orlando and Bri had a friend we could stay with. I have never clicked with someone so instantly before. Kait is someone who is kind, will stick up for those she cares about, and will always puts others before herself. I am so thankful for the concert that brought us together because I can't remember what it was like not being her friend.

This is another friend that I can thank track and cross country for! Emma and I's friendship started out in a competitive way since we ran together. Even though it might have started competitive it has turned into nothing but constant support and love for each other. Emma and I tend to do things at the same time. This includes getting engaged and married. We got engaged a week apart and we will be getting married a month apart from each other! When you see her on the dance floor say congrats!!

Sam and I may not have known each other a super long time, but in the 5 years that I have known Sam he has always been a true friend and quickly became one of my best friends. We lived together for about 1 year which grew our friendship even more making not only us closer but my fiancé and her best friend the matron of honor Bri. You can count on Sam to be the voice of control when needed. Riley and I are so thankful to share such a close bond with Sam and Bri and are excited for them to be a huge part of our day.

Ethan is one of my best friends who I have known since 5th grade when he changed schools and we met and found out that we lived 10 houses away from each other our entire lives. If you know him, you know that we call him Pino. Pino is my guy I go to for motivation as he and I were gym partners for many years before college and life got too busy. Even though he now lives in Georgia him, Evan and I FaceTime often and always make an effort to keep up with each others lives. Pino is going to be your hype man in any scenario, he not only gets the boys rowdy but he knows how to make a crowd hype.

Evan is another one of my best friends who I lived 2 doors down from for many years. Evan and I spent many of our youth days fishing and riding bikes everywhere. If you ever needed a friend who can be goofy in any scenario, Evan is going to be your guy. Even though Evan moved to Ohio 4 years ago we still keep in touch regularly and support each other in every stage of life greatly. I cannot imagine not being friends with Evan since we spent so many nights together staying up all night playing games and eating junk food before going fishing at 4 in the morning with his dad.

Nolan is one of my longest tenured friends since we began knowing each other in 3rd grade when we played tackle football together. Nolan and I also went to middle school together at SCFCS where we had lots of classes together every year, I think we even begged his mom who was our math teach in 7th grade to convince the school to let our schedules align better. Nolan and I are very similar in our interests and I am glad we have remained friends all of these years. We spent lots of days playing video games and hanging out with each others families. Nolan is like a brother to me and I am super excited he gets to be a part of our big day!

I began knowing Nick through our time working together at Waterlefe Golf Club. Since I was an outside staff member and he worked in the pro shop, I didn't speak to him too much for the first few months he was there. Then I learned he was interested in flying in the military as was I, and we hit it off from there. We golfed and hung out lots before finding out that he knew almost all of the closest people in my life, including Riley, Sam, and Bri since they all went to high school together. Nick is my guy I go to when I want to be spontaneous and have a fun random adventure. He brings the party to any room he walks into and is going to be one of the greatest friends you could ever have. Not only is he very polite and humble, but he knows how to flip the switch and get the guys hyped up! I am super excited he gets to round up my wedding party and become the hype man for all of our guests.
