Best friends since 2014, we have survived boyfriends, friend groups, and lots of small town drama together. From family vacations to regular girls nights playing Xbox (which we're awful at) it's always a great time when we're together. You have helped me grown as a person and better myself as a friend, human, and soon-to-be wife. I love the relationship you have with Brian as well. You two fight and tease each other like siblings but if he needs you, you're there just like you are for me and vice versa. We are both beyond grateful for your presence in our lives. I can't wait to have you standing by my side on our big day.

Since birth you have been by my side even from thousands of miles away. Growing up we would tell people we were sisters instead of cousins since we were so close and neither of us had one. We're both terrible at answering texts quickly or remembering to call the other back (even when we say we will) but when we need each other we are always there. Our lives have changed so much since we were kids day dreaming of who we were going to be. We always talked about getting married one day and I am ecstatic to have you with me as those dreams come true.

Huntingtown Elementary School, that's where our friendship started. We were just kids goofing off, dressing up as grandma's for Halloween, and never caring that we didn't know how to deal with our crazy curly hair. Regardless of the friend groups we joined and the different activities we got into, we never strayed from each other when most would. You're a wild child and have the spirit of a lion. I couldn't imagine going through life without you. You're always going to be Brian's "Salt Shaker" and he'll always be your "Slim". I can't wait to tear up the dance floor with you all night.

As my aunt you've been a friend, a secret keeper, and a protector for me since birth. You were a kid yourself when I was born and yet you were still someone Mom trusted more than anything with my life regardless of your age. Our relationship is so special to me and is something I wouldn't change for the world. Whenever I need advise or a guiding hand outside of my parents you have always stepped up and been there for me. I wouldn't be who I am today without your love and guidance. Yes I was 6, but I was with you every step of the way for your wedding (you made sure of it) and I am so glad to have you with me for every step of mine.

In 2017 you met Hayden and quickly made a home in our friend group. You were the perfect missing piece of the puzzle both Hayden and all of us needed. Over the years I have gotten to watch you be the best mom to Hunter, the best wife to Hayden, and grow to be the best version of yourself. From game nights with the boys to makeup and wine nights I am so thankful for your friendship. You have the biggest heart and your will to help others never ceases to amaze me.

"Finally another kid on the cul-de-sac" is all I could think when you moved in next door. From playing in the woods where we ended up behind a different neighborhood to burying frogs in the yard divider my childhood carries so many great memories thanks to you. Your family became mine and vice versa from teasing and annoying your siblings to getting in trouble from one or all of our parents. When we found out you were moving to Wisconsin I was terrified I was loosing my best friend forever, however after all these years you're still the person I can call for anything no matter how many miles apart we are.

You were 10 when I came into your life and now you're 16 (almost 17!) You have always been shy and quiet from the moment we met, but slowly overtime you let me in. We'd go get our nails done , go to the movies, or just drive around and grab food and each time you let me in just a little more. Today I am EXTREMELY happy to call you my sister even if it's not official yet. You're smart, gorgeous, and funny as hell. You can do anything you set your mind to and we can't wait to watch you accomplish all of your goals and dreams.

I thank Kevin for bringing you into my life. You have become one of my absolute best friends. Someone I can always count on for solid advise, an open shoulder, a good time, or just to relax. I am so thankful to have you in my life and for the friendship we’ve built. You’re one of the kindest souls I know, always willing to help someone in need, and are feisty when needed. Remember, Kevin’s allowed to buy his toys again soon to be Mrs. Riddle;)

Since the day you were born you have been a pain in my a**. Even though we were always at each others throats growing up, we always had each other's backs when it mattered like saying I "slipped and hit my head" on the sliding glass door so we didn't get in trouble for breaking it. I know whenever I call you'll always be there and vice versa like the countless times we've called each other for a rescue because our unreliable vehicle broke down on us and left us stranded on the side of the road. Thank you for putting up with me this long (not like you had a choice) and for standing by my side as I enter this new chapter in life.

We've known each other for a long time, though these last 2 years we've become better friends than I ever could have imagined. You invited me into your home and I like to think I've gotten to know you better than most . We can talk about anything from relationships, cars, or work and the conversations could go on for hours. I always enjoy our late nights in the the garage (though maybe not right then in the moment) working on your collection of vehicles that rivals mine. You're work ethic and dedication to everything in your life is something I truly admire about you whether it be in caring for Nelli or one of your friends/family members to working long days just to sleep for 2 hours and head right back in. Thank you for everything you've done for me and Kenzie and for being my side through this whole next step.

We met in the third grade and very quickly your family became mine. We'd run around outside playing with the many pets ya'll had over the years and getting into thing we weren't supposed to. We tried to be helpful like when we attempted to clean the front pond in your "good jeans" which dad definitely didn't appreciate. As we got older not much changed, like when you got your jeep stuck in another jeep and I had to come pull you out before dad came home. You're hands down my oldest friend surviving losses, birthdays, and lots of Friday night Pizza Nights. We may not talk everyday or see each other as much as we get older but when we do it's like nothing has ever changed.

We met in 10th grade in math class which neither of us were a fan of. From mudding at the farm to weekend bonfires and garage parties you always know how to have a good time. Whenever I need help you're always willing to jump in and lend a hand no matter the time, place, or situation. You're always down for anything no matter how stupid the idea is and you're always happy to just come along for the ride. You're the reason I met Kenzie and from day one to now I am happy to have had you by my side.

We weren't always close but over the last couple years you have become someone who I know will always be there for me. Whether it's a weekend bike ride or us just hanging out in the garage I always enjoy hanging out with you. We both understand having a busy life with work and other things but whenever the other calls we always make the time to be there. I always appreciate the advice you have to give whether its about life, the house buying process, or anything. I am proud to call you a friend and look forward to having you by my side as I turn this new chapter in my life.

You were 9 when we met for the first time. You confused my name with Kenzie's ex-boyfriend "Ryan" at first instead of Brian and it made Kenzie's face redder than a tomato. We spend most of the time together teasing and messing with your sister like at Nick & Megan's wedding when we kept making silly faces last second in all her pictures. You're a great soccer player, friend, & DJ. I am honored to have you standing up with me and welcoming me into the family.

You were 7 when we first met and now you're 13! We both enjoy teasing your sister about her height and are always down to eat. You've grown up so much since we first met and I've been so happy to have gotten the chance to watch it happen. You're funny as anything and are a great friend and brother. I am thankful that Kenzie has such amazing brothers and am honored to have you standing up with me for this big day.
