My little baby sister!! You are more than my little sister, you're my best friend! I'm in awe of how much you and I have accomplished and was so proud to stand next to you on your wedding day and I'm so excited that you will be next to me on mine! I couldn't do this without you! Through the years that we have grown up, to see how our lives are unfolding is amazing and thrilling all at the same time! You are the sweetest, most kind-hearted person and such a blast to celebrate these big events with! I am so lucky to have a sister, but even more lucky to have a sister that I have an amazing relationship with and can't wait to make an aunt hopefully soon! I look forward to the years that are coming and to see what more great things are to come for us both! I told this story at your wedding, but it cracks me up, so I feel the need to tell it again. When mom and dad brought you home from the hospital and I tried to poke your eye out, things weren't looking good for me and you. OHHH, things couldn't be more different now! I will always be there to protect you and turn to you for friendship and love! I love you so so so so so so stinking much and I'm for sure going to need you by my side to help me keep my sh*t together! P.S. with you being my sister and all and knowing everything about me since inception, try and keep your speech PG! Haha! ;)

Okay, so listen, before I say this, I need everyone reading this to understand that there are two types of soulmates! Soulmate #1: Buggie, love of my life, romantic connection, future hubby, couldn't live without! Soulmate #2: Chad Trofatter, love of my life, best friends forever, my ride or die, couldn't live without! Okay, so now that I have clarified that for those who don't know our relationship, HE IS MY ABSOLUTE SOULMATE! There is a reason that this beautiful human is my Maid of Honor and I couldn't have made a better choice. There's not enough room on 50 websites to describe how much this person means to me! When we met in college at UTA freshman year, he thought I was bat-shit crazy, but that's why we instantly connected! Lol! We have been inseparable for years and years and years and that will never change for us! He is my rock, the person I want to share all my most precious life moments with and I am so lucky that he is just as excited to see me walk down the aisle to my buggie! You make me smile anytime we are together and I love how crazy we are! We talk all the time about how much we have done, seen, experienced and that is definitely very true! I wouldn't be half the person I am today without this ray of sunshine by my side! Alec and I love you so much and you have been such an amazing friend to him as well! I love that we can FaceTime and you light up and so does he when he gets on our FaceTime dates and it makes my heart melt! My top 5 favorite memories of us together are all ones that are unmentionable here, so I try to think of some less fantastic ones. Hahahaha! I think the most special one was when you came to see us during this pandemic, had you fully suite up in a surgical gown, face shield, and masked up so that I give you the Maid of Honor proposal! You are always willing to do whatever it takes to keep me safe and are always there for me, even in crazy times! I am so lucky to have such an amazing friend and I am so grateful that you said yes and are taking on the task of making sure I don't ugly cry and mess up all of my makeup on our wedding day! I love you so much and can't wait to see you all dressed in your tux, standing next to me, and making our most special memory to date, marrying my buggie!

Endy, Endy, Endy, I don't even know where to begin! You are exactly the type of friend that EVERYONE needs and should get to have in their life! Your positivity, happiness, and smile are all so contagious and you can light up any room that you enter! You have been through it at all with me! The bad, the good, and now the REALLY good and I would not want to live in a world where our friendship doesn't exist! We had all those years at UTA to hangout, party, and make memories (a lot of which I can't share here, so that's unfortunate) and they are some of the best times I have ever had! Haha! I will remember all the trips we've taken together, all the crazy concerts and experiences that most people don't get to have in a lifetime! From riding in your red mustang to being under the electric sky, it's been a crazy time and I have loved every minute of it! It's been so fun watching us both grow up and grow into more mature relationships over the years and meeting such great partners for ourselves. I love you and I'm so grateful that I could be there by your side marrying Jeff and I can't wait for it to be my turn! As soon as Alec proposed to me, you were one of the first people we called because I was so excited to tell you and Jeff! Of course, you knew there was no way in hell that you wouldn't be one of my bridesmaids and I can't wait to have you by my side up there! My request to you was to make sure I don't drink too much champagne, but I think you have that covered! Lol, I love you so much, and thank you for saying yes to being one of the most special people on my most special day!

My sweet little Kaylen! When Alec introduced me to you and Chris, you were so easy to get along with and so sweet! As time has gone on, you are one of my most dear friends and I love you so much! I love how sweet, caring, thoughtful, and overall just how much of an amazing friend you have been to me in such a short time that we have known each other! Our love for champagne, bloody mary's, and wine are just the cherry on top of a fantastic friendship! Haha! Through this pandemic, you have hands down been one of the most supportive people in my life! I love all of our FaceTime dates of staying up until sunrise, dancing to live virtual EDM shows, and deep talks! I'm so glad that you said yes and will be up there with me on our special day!

My Kita! You are absolutely the life of the party and such a fun person to be around ALL-THE-TIME! There has never been a moment that I haven't been laughing while we are together and having fun! You have been such a great person to lean on during a freaking pandemic and I love how close we have gotten these past few years! No way could I get up there and marry my angel buggie without you there with me! I'm so excited you said yes to being up there with me on our special day and I can't wait to have kids together (soon haha) and grow together! I love you so much and I feel so lucky to have a friend that is so supportive and an overall positive vibe daily! I can't wait to see your beautiful self in that dress, telling me to get my sh** together, drink the champagne, and get my a** in that wedding dress the morning of! LOL!

I met Chris when his now fiance, Kaylen, asked if I wanted to join his rec league basketball game. I thought "wow, this guy needs his girlfriend to help him find enough people to be on his team." In reality, I didn't have enough people to make a team either so I said yes. I don't really know what happened next but it seems like the next thing I knew, we became best friends. We have had some of the craziest memories from the many concerts, EDC Las Vegas, nights out downtown, boat rentals, even nights in just playing beer pong. We are like family and I couldn't be happier to have him up there as my best man.

I met Trey around the same time as Chris. He was on the basketball team and I truly was speechless with what I saw. Trey, playing basketball in Nike Free Runs. Its been an ongoing joke basically since we have met. We have become so close over the years and Trey truly is one of the best individuals that I know. He truly cares for our friendship and wanting to have a great time. We have been to so many concerts and shows, trips out to the lake, hearing our significant others scream our names from the middle of the lake when we were cliff jumping, making beats, and just hanging out. Trey is exactly who you want as a friend and groomsman.

I have known Adam the longest out of anyone up here. We have been extremely close friends since Pre-K. From high school through sophomore year of college we worked at the same places from Kroger, Going Bonkers, and the golf course. Adam is crazy, wild, and always wanting to have a good time. Even when we went to different colleges we remained close and continued to have a great friendship. He is a friend that I have always been able to count on and I hope that I have been that for him as well. I am so happy to have him up here on my big day.

I met Kenneth at a house party the first night I moved to San Marcos to go to Texas State. We clicked pretty much immediately and he talked me into doing something I thought I would never do, join a fraternity. Which happened to be one of the best decisions of my life. We have so many memories like cliff jumping, jumping off trees into the river, our Colorado trip, getting new dogs and taking them to Auditorium Shores, New Orleans, and much more. I am so glad we are able to add memories of being at each other's wedding. Kenneth is someone who I can call with anything and he would truly listen and help any way he can. He cares about his friends and would do anything for them. I am so happy to have Kenneth up there with me.

I have known Nick since high school but we really got close when we reconnected at Texas State. We were roommates for a couple of years after we both graduated and have had some wild times. From our crazy Spring Break in South Padre, sitting in a folding chair in the river and killing an entire bodle of orange vodka for no reason, countless trips to The Square, pregame rituals of drinking Gin, going to New Orleans and Colorado, and the many fraternity events. Nick is the type of friend who will always have your back and stand up for you if needed. I am proud to call him a great friend and to have him up there with me at my wedding.
