Matil, aka Tila and I, met when we were newly 16 years old at an AAU travel basketball team tryout. I was early, and already sweaty from practicing pre-try out, and she was just on time, having just eaten McDonald's (or something)..... she literally asked her mom, 'who is this chick?'We both made the team (obviously!), we fell in love (obviously!), and were inseparable from that day forward. Here we are, almost 20 years later, still inseparable, more than friends, we are family, and I could not imagine my life without her. I love you more!

Amanda, aka SIS, is the reason I met my person! She, only knowing a few things about me, and having a few pictures, matched me with one of the most important men in her life, her big brother. She welcomed me with open arms, and loved me like a sister way before it was official. I am so grateful to have a SIL like you, and it feels wrong to call you my SIL, because you are my sister, and I love you infinitely!

I've known my TorTor for what feels like my whole life! We met when we were just 14 years old, fell in love, and have been sister friends ever since. How lucky are we that we have best friends that turned into family, with almost 20 years of friendship and love. We have been through every stage of life together, with the best yet to come, and I could not imagine my life without her by my side. I love you endlessly!

My MaReRe and I were inseparable in high school, and have spent a majority of our lives at each others houses with each other's family. I am able to be my absolute silliest most authentic self with her, and we are always there for each other no matter what, because we are family! She is one of my forever friends, and I could not picture this special day, or any day without her in it! I love you endlessly!

I have known my Bakkie since Freshman year in college, but it feels like a lifetime. It was love at first frat party when I made her put her beer down, and go home because I knew she had a volleyball game the next morning. We have had the best times and have made some of my greatest memories. I am so grateful to have a best friend who would sleep sitting up so that I could rest my head on a bag of frozen peas when I got a concussion. I wouldn't be able to do life without her. I love you Katie girl!

I am so lucky that life brought me my Mandee. We instantly connected over our warm and loving ways - which is engrained in us because of our proud Italian heritage - our love for family and our hearts of gold. She would do anything for the people she loves, especially me, and I could not be more grateful for you and for our friendship. I love you, I love you, I love you, okayyy?!

Jacq, is the key reason that Joe and I met. Ever since she met me, she wanted me to meet someone and fall in love, so that my brother and Jacq and my future husband and I could double date every weekend. She went as far as to play matchmaker, and, matched me with Joe. Here we are years later, getting married! It means so much to me that not only my sista is a part of our special day, and a part of our life, but that my precious niece and nephew, will also be a part of our special day! We love you 3 so much!

Erica is my 1 and only first girl cousin, and my favorite of course! I am so excited that we are in each others lives, and can share these special monumental moments together! I stood by you on your wedding day, and I can't wait for you to stand by me on mine. I love you, cousie!

I am so grateful to be marrying into a family where Kayy exists! She is the sweetest, warmest, soul, everyone's cheerleader, and I couldn't ask for a better SIL and friend! It means so much to me that you'll be standing next to us on one of the most special days of our lives. Love you, sis!

Erica, Joey's cousin, is also another key reason we met! She, Amanda and Jacqueline matched us and I am forever grateful! I am so lucky to be marrying into a family where cousins are like siblings, and where there is so much love! Thank you for letting me love your little girls and for loving me like family! So excited you'll be standing next to us on our special day! Love you, cousie!

I knew I loved Taylor instantly! She is such a sweet soul, always smiling, laughing and bringing positive energy into any room she's in, and I can always count on her to play games with me. I am so grateful that you're a part of the crazy Licata crew, and officially a part of my crazy Licata crew, too! I wouldn't say I do without you! I Love you my girl!
