Sammy is not only my little sister, but my built-in best friend! My mom used to tell me that her copying me when we were little was a form of flattery - now I feel like I'm the one who copies her! We are so thrilled to have her right beside us when we say 'I do'!

Katie was my neighbor turned bestie in high school and will forever be my partner in crime. She is one of the sweetest souls and has always been there for me through all of our crazy memories. Similarly to Steven, she loves to party and always makes sure I'm having a good time!

I literally would not have gotten through college without Amy. We met in travel softball back in 2014 and eventually became friends and roommates at SRU. Amy is the first person I call when I need someone to talk to and always makes me laugh.

Natalie is one of the greatest gifts SRU gave me- a lifelong friend! She single-handedly taught me how to cook and always has my back! We are so happy to have her support (traveling all the way from Georgia) on our big day.

Jayme has been one of my best friends since 7th grade and somehow stuck around through all the awkward stages in life-- even getting me through some classes in high school!

Ericka is Steven's sister and the best big sis I could ever have. Ericka is always there for advice, to split a bottle of wine, OR just to make fun of Steven ;) Her baby, Teagan, is our little flower girl!

Ashley and I became close friends through our little sisters and (trauma) bonded in high school during basketball and track seasons. She is such a ray of sunshine in my life!

Lindsey is my cousin whom I've gotten to experience every stage of life right along with me. From the time we were kids playing in Grandma's backyard, every time we see each other its like no time has passed!

Nick has been my best friend for so many years now. From our time at Geneva College to hauling concrete at the island, we have so many memories. He's the first one I call when I need help and will close down a bar with me on any night of the week. Never a doubt he had to be my best man.

Thomas and I have been such great friends since college and lived together for several years. He may not have a very good golf swing, but I always love getting together on the course. Us Engineers gotta stick together- football brain damage and all.

Tyler and I became close after college and he is a great friend (and even better DJ). Every time Nick, Tyler and I are together you know it will be a crazy night. He is always up for anything - especially a shot of tequila.

Nick is the type of friend that will come pull your car out of a ditch at 3am. Partially because he's the only one with a truck, but also because that's the type of guy he is. He's also not afraid of a party - a friend that can do it all.

So many things I can say about JJ - he's one of my craziest friends. He doesn't just show up to the party- he brings the party. He is not afraid of backing me up when needed, but also one of the gentler souls I know.

Ethan is one of my roommates from college and helped me through my final semester at Geneva after having to stay a little longer to finish my degree. He is a man with incredible ambition to follow his dreams while helping others along the way.

Thomas is my one and only brother in law. The day I met Thomas, my sister brought him to the island without telling anyone. My first thought was "who the **** is this guy??" I quickly got to learn that he would do anything for my sister and has proved it time and time again. I may not have grown up with a brother, but I found one in him.

Kenny is Lorah's (not so little) brother who just began his first year at Westminster College. It's amazing to see the man he has become and we are so happy to have him by our side!

Riley is my cousin, an amazing athlete and my possible blonde twin??? ;)

Avery is my cousin and the funniest, most sarcastic & sweetest teenager I've ever met :)
