My sister Abbi has truly become my closest friend. Throughout every twist and turn, she's been my unwavering support, and I can't imagine anyone else standing beside me. Beyond her endless encouragement, Abbi has the best style, always ensuring I look my best and feel confident. (you will know if she does not pick out my outfit LOL) I'm incredibly grateful she'll be there with me for the wedding dress shopping—so I don't walk down the aisle looking like a fool!

My brother has always been my go-to, and there’s no one else I’d want by my side as my best man. From all the adventures we’ve shared to the countless times he's had my back, he’s been more than just a sibling—he’s been my best friend. No matter what life throws our way, I know I can always count on him for support, a good laugh, and honest advice (whether I ask for it or not). Having him standing beside me on one of the most important days of my life just feels right, and I couldn’t be more grateful to share this moment with him.

Melissa is my(groom) older sister. She’s been one of my closest friends my whole life until there was a disagreement about who was right and who was wrong. That’s when the physical altercations became epic. I’m so thankful to have her join us.

Taylor Moss has been such a positive light in both mine and Brandon’s lives. She is always supportive, kind, and truly one of the sweetest people I know! I’m beyond excited to have her by my side on our wedding day. Taylor was instrumental in welcoming me into the Moss family, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her guidance and friendship.

Mackenzie is a friend who has always brought laughter and joy into my life. We've shared so many fun memories, from our late-night Taco Bell walks to singing badly together and doing the WOP with my dad. We've had our interesting moments, including playful fights over boys, but through it all, Mackenzie has always been someone I can be completely myself around. I'm so grateful to have her by my side on this special day (and all days). Plus, she’ll make a great DJ.

Mia has been a constant in my life since I first moved to Mokena in 8th grade. She's always been the voice of reason, offering advice and support whenever I needed it. Our Thursday phone calls are a tradition we never miss, and despite all my shenanigans—and the fact that I still can't spell her last name—Mia has stuck by my side through it all. She's always been up for any crazy thing we wanted to do, whether it was attending every hockey event or sneaking into parties. We've shared countless adventures together, and I'm so lucky to have her as a friend.

Caitlin Nelson (Parduhn) has always been more like a sister than a friend. Living just down the street, we were constantly walking to each other's houses, and during COVID, we saw each other every day as we navigated grad school life together. Caitlin's silly, light-hearted nature made every moment fun, and I was always "borrowing" clothes from her closet (which she meticulously tracked on her phone). I miss having her just a walk away because we've had some crazy adventures together. Even when we disagree, we always find our way back to each other—just like sisters do.

Meet Alex, the life of the party and our (second) comedian! From the moment he enters a room, Alex is guaranteed to bring laughter..no matter the occasion. His playful spirit shines through whether he's cracking jokes or playing Xbox Brandon.. Alex's knack for being goofy ensures that every gathering is filled with smiles and unforgettable moments. We’re thrilled to celebrate this special day with him and know that his vibrant energy will make our wedding even more memorable!

Bryan and I have been through plenty of good times together, and he's always been solid in my corner even though he's acted like a 50 year old dad since i've known him. Whether we're catching up over a drink or tackling whatever comes our way, I know I can count on him. We’ve had our share of unique experiences on our fishing trips , and I’m glad to have him standing with me on the big day.

Tom quickly became a close friend when we were both private pilot students after I moved to Florida. We advanced together to become flight instructors and even ended up as roommates. (There were more laughs in that apartment than at a Chappelle show.) After that, we both made our way to Republic Airways, and now we're flying together at Spirit Airlines. There's no doubt Tom’s the kind of friend you want by your side on a day like this.

Everett is my first nephew, and it’s been amazing watching him grow into the little man he is today. Every Thanksgiving, you’ll find me sitting at the kids’ table with him, and over the years, he’s taught me the importance of being someone he can proudly look up to. I’m excited to have him share this special day with us, and I know he’ll bring some much-needed energy and youth to the groomsmen crew.

Owen and I met while we were in flight school in Fort Myers. We then became flight instructors together and neighbors which allowed us the opportunity to hangout a bunch especially when students inevitably overslept and we had nothing to do (and no pay). We then went to Republic Airways and then we currently work together at Spirit Airlines. Owen is a great addition to the fun night.

Erika and Tyler hold a special place in our hearts. As our first deep and genuine couple friends, they’ve become an integral part of our lives. Living just across the hall, they make midweek wine nights at the clubhouse a little too tempting—but also ensure there’s always someone nearby to share a laugh, borrow a cup of sugar, or lend a listening ear on a tough day. Together, we’re even raising our puppies side by side, which has only strengthened our bond. We’re so grateful to have them in our lives and know they’ll always stand by our side
