The definition of a Day 1 - I met Mia the day she was born when I was 5 months old. We've pretty much grown up together, not just as cousins, but as my forever best friend! Mia and I nearly burnt her house down... try guessing whose dad was on babysitting duty for that one! Our memories together grow beyond childhood into college, one of my favorites being when I got to visit her at Eastern Illinois. I am so excited and honored to have Mia - someone so close to my heart - as my Maid of Honor!

Introducing my childhood best friend Tyler - As kids, you could find us playing roller hockey in the driveway or goofing off (maybe shattering his rearview mirror during a trick shot attempt), but these days, we share the best times playing golf together. We even managed to get hired for the same internship during college. Through thick and thin, Tyler's been my rock, practically a third brother, and has always been a part of the family. So, without a doubt, he's the guy I'm calling up as my Best Man!

Let me introduce you to my youngest sister, Lilly, who's basically my mini-me in so many ways (well, almost!). We even share the same Starbucks order, minus the strawberries. Lilly somehow always knows how to bring fun into life and to not take things too seriously. If you ever need an unfiltered, straight-from-the-heart opinion, Lilly's your girl! And here's a fun fact about her - she's an incredible gymnast.

Meet my younger brother, Alex. From playing the same sports as kids to those early morning fishing adventures on the Illinois River, there's no adventure too early for us. He's always up for a Bass Pro trip with me. Our college years have only brought us closer, and we've got each other's backs no matter what. Also, if you ever need help solving a Rubik's cube, Alex can point you in the right direction.

Kim has been a steady rock in my life, and our friendship traces all the way back to our high school days. If there's one thing about Kim, she's always doing something to make us proud - from her adventurous study abroad experience in Europe to her dedication to playing and coaching volleyball, not to mention her growing career. Yet, she has never once failed to keep her friends at the forefront. Kim is the definition of kindness, and she always makes everyone around her feel so special.

Now I'll introduce my youngest brother, Evan. He always knows how to make the most out of life, from enjoying his motorcycle, going to many concerts, playing volleyball, or making a day out of snowboarding. Evan is a constant reminder of how to cherish every moment and live with fun and excitement. Watching him thrive at Illinois State is so exciting to see. Evan has always been there when I needed him, and I can't imagine this momentous day without him standing right by my side.

Meet the life of every party, Serena! While I initially got to know Serena as my brother Mike's girlfriend, she's become much more than that; she's truly a sister to me. Her kindness and ability to be unapologetically herself are what truly make her light up any room. At heart, Serena is a true 'girl's girl,' always there to uplift and celebrate anyone. Traveling to Key West was definitely a highlight memory for us. Serena has been by my side for several years now. My wedding day simply wouldn't be complete without her!

Let me introduce you to Mike, the man who's not just Kylie's brother, but a significant support in her life. As the big brother, he's always held high standards and kept an eye out for who enters Kylie's life. I knew I had to pass the "big brother test", and he certainly made sure I checked all the right boxes to be the person Kylie deserves. Now, as we approach our big day, I could not be more grateful that Mikey will be right there by my side, supporting us every step of the way. I really am gaining such a genuine and fun guy as a brother-in-law!

I am so excited to introduce Luna, my senior year roommate at UCLA, and an absolute gem of a person. Our time together was filled with so many memorable adventures I'll never forget, from ordering In-N-Out to eat on the bluffs to spontaneous drives to Beverly Hills and showing me where she grew up. Surprising me with cookie dough, Luna always knows how to put a smile on my face. I always felt like we're the same person just living in different states! I always knew Luna would be a lifelong friend, and I couldn't be more thrilled to have her as a part of my journey with Ethan!

Isaac and I have held our friendship since our middle school days. He's a guy who thrives on competition and the more-than-occasional smack talk, whether it's on the golf course, during a game of bags, or even back when we used to work out together in our younger years. Story time -- one winter night, Isaac decided to host a gathering at his place with an impromptu hot tub session in the snow. Braving the cold, we both jumped out of the water and made snow angels in a foot of snow, wearing nothing but our trunks. It was a memory that we'll hold forever.

Meet Nina, one of my absolute best friends since high school! A friendship growing strong, we now have a unique shared experience as we go through nursing school simultaneously. So, we have a unique understanding of each other's highs and lows! Nina has always been someone I can turn to and share anything with. She'll drop everything in a heartbeat to be there when you need her most. I couldn't be more happy to have Nina stand beside me on my wedding day, knowing that her support and friendship have been constants in my life!

I became friends with Kaden in middle school, and we have gotten closer and closer ever since. Kaden knows how to make you smile on your worst days, and motivates you to be the best you can be. He is always ready for a late night motivational speech or providing his "with no doubt winning" UFC gambling picks. While he has a tendency to break anything he touches, RIP our childhood basketball hoop, he is always positive - positive he will beat you in a chugging contest!

Janelle - another one of my beautiful sisters - is the kind of person who adds a sprinkle of sweetness, fun, and thoughtfulness to every situation! She is the ultimate support system for all of us siblings, even while she's off at college. She has this effortless charm that everyone can't help but love, making her the sweetest girl ever. As we dive into this exciting journey, I couldn't be happier to have Janelle as a bridesmaid and my sister. She's the icing on the wedding cake, and I can't wait for you all to meet her!

I've known Daniel since back in our middle school days, and he's always been one of the realest friends. He has been living it up in Iowa for a while now, but no matter the distance, I know he's got my back 100%. About Daniel, he has the most contagious laugh, and he will undoubtedly help us make this wedding night unforgettable. Looking back on our adventures, spending time at the lake house has to be one of our most fun memories. And I can't forget, I still owe him for breaking his mini basketball hoop. I am so grateful to have Daniel stand with me on our big day.

Hannah was one of my very first friends at UCLA! One of my favorite things in our friendship was our weekly tradition of bonding trips to Starbucks, where we've had conversations about absolutely everything under the sun. She's also been one of Ethan and I's biggest fans since day 1! From losing our voices at college football games to sharing a breakfast when she visited Chicago, Hannah has been a constant presence in my life. I can't wait for her to stand up with us on this special day!

Cam and I have been close friends for many years. With years of baseball under our belt, our competitive spirits continue to shine through whenever we engage in a game of bags, golf, or softball. Cam has a knack for bringing the party to life as he often comes prepared with Jello shots and Irish Car Bombs, ensuring that any occasion becomes a lively celebration. His infectious sense of humor and love for fun guarantee that this wedding will be an unforgettable night!
