I present to you my built in best friend. There is no one else I would want right by my side on our wedding day. I've always looked up to my sister. She was the girl no one messed with, mainly because she could take anyone in a fight. We've watched each other grow over the years, her into an amazing mother of two; me into a neurotic cat mother. They say you'll never know a love as strong as a mother's, but I have a sister.

Although Ally and I became friends just over a year ago, it feels like our hearts have always been connected. From the moment we met, I knew she was someone special. Her infectious energy, kind heart, and unwavering support have made our friendship one of the most meaningful in my life. Whether we're laughing over inside jokes, enjoying late-night talks, doing somersaults or supporting each other through life’s ups and downs, she’s always there. I couldn't imagine this day without her.

Even though Sam and I only became friends a little over a year ago and miles separate us, it feels like we've known each other forever. From the very first conversation, I knew she was someone I could count on, no matter the distance. Though we don’t get to see each other as often as we’d like, every moment we’ve spent together has been full of connection and shared memories. I’m so grateful for her friendship and beyond excited to have her by my side as I take this next step in my life. I’m lucky to have her as a bridesmaid and a lifelong friend.

A friendship I was determined to make. We met the Fall of 2018 in Printmaking and a wild and crazy friendship grew from there. We've been on many adventures together, like throwing paint powder in each others face or going to the Zoo and watching Nicole cry over the elephants. I can't wait to take on this new adventure in life and am grateful to have this crazy girl by my side. Life can never be boring with a friend like Nicole.

I couldn’t be more thrilled to have Katie standing by my side as a bridesmaid. Though she’s my brother’s amazing girlfriend, she’s also become a wonderful friend who I’m so grateful to have in my life. From the moment we met, she welcomed me with open arms, and our bond has only grown stronger over time. Her warmth, sense of humor, and genuine kindness make her an absolute joy to be around, and I’m lucky to call her not just family, but a true friend. Having her as a bridesmaid feels like a beautiful extension of the love and support we’ve shared. I’m so thankful for her and all the ways she brings light to our family—and I can’t wait for all the memories we’ll continue to create together.

Our latest and greatest bud to our family. Uncle and Titi are so happy to have our special little lady a part of our day. G's hobbies include: Side eye, drooling, napping and occasionally busting it down on the dance floor.

My handsome godson. His activities include: running, yelling, slapping (out of love of course) and just being the cutest man in the world. We could not have found better security to keep our rings safe.

Cory Provost, or perhaps I should address him by his official title of Lord Cory Provost (he owns a square foot of land in Ireland, so he is technically a Lord), is one of the most loyal, thoughtful, and generous people that I have the pleasure of knowing. Growing up together, we may have had our fights as brothers do, but over the past several years Cory has grown to be my very best friend. Always there to make you laugh with his endless supply of dad jokes or impress with a magic trick, Cory is the sort of person you would be lucky to have in your life. I count myself as extremely lucky to share this day with my brother and lifelong best friend! On the wedding day, I would encourage you to refrain from asking him to tell a dad joke, as once he starts it is nearly impossible to stop him.

My future brother-in-law, Aj is a man you can look up to! Not just because he is tall, but he is arguably the most free-thinker of our group and very well traveled. He is a straight shooter and tells you exactly how he feels and truly lives for himself, which is rare in a day and age where everyone caters to everyone else. Whether we are going to a Yard Goats game or hanging out eating ketchup flavored potato chips (and yes, they are just as gross as you would probably expect), Aj is someone I really feel comfortable talking to and whose advice I truly cherish. He can be a bit quiet until you get to know him, but once you do he really opens up and becomes somebody that I am proud to have as my brother-in-law. So if you ever need travel advice, Magic the Gathering tips, or someone to just lend an ear, Aj is your guy!

It was love at first sight! We first met on the battlegrounds of Overwatch, where I played a character named Genji and was truly terrible. Fortunately, Tyler was able to carry me through the games and supported me all the while. Just as in Overwatch, Tyler is my support in real life. I can always count on him to push me and encourage me to try new things, including my early attempts at running a marathon. Since those early days of Overwatch, we have gone on numerous adventures including skydiving together and riding one of the most dangerous Class 6 white water rapids in the world. Tyler is without a doubt the most genuine person I know and I count myself fortunate to call him friend, although in truth he has become a brother.

The Man, The Myth, The Legend! What more can be said about my close friend and resident surgeon, Dr. Kyle 'Murph' Murphy. If ever you have a question on a strange medical rash or broken bone, Murph is the person to call! He is a man who decides when he is passionate about something, he goes all in! Whether it be golf, corn hole, or The Lord of the Rings, I have seen Murph focus in a way that few would until he becomes an expert. I will also mention that he is fierce competition when it comes to strategy. In any games, he is the type of man you want on your team! Just as he commits himself to his many interests, he shows just as much care when it comes to his friends. Whether it was sharing the same name or the mutual interests we both share, Murph and I became fast friends! He is the smartest guy I know, and while the miles separate us now that he is in Residency in Syracuse, when we get together I know it'll be a good time!

Brandon is one of the most fun people I know and is always the life of the party! We first met at the start of my pharmaceutical career, where much of the success I've had is thanks to Brandon, who helped to train me when I first got started. I probably called him with questions 3 times a day, but he never complained or got annoyed because that is the type of person that Brandon is. The hardest working guy I know, Brandon truly cares about helping others and can befriend anybody in the room. What started off as being work colleagues quickly transitioned into us becoming good friends, where now we go on trips together, whether it be Cancun or camping in CT. I count Brandon as one of my closest friends as I know many others do as well, considering he is a Groomsman in about 4 other weddings! He is a man of many interests and talents, and whether it's going out partying or talking about life, Brandon is somebody I can always count on.
