Introducing my MOH, Kayla! Kayla & I have been close friends since we were 4 years old. Both of our Mom's worked together and became good friends, so naturally, we did too. Through the years, Kayla & I went from bonding over Barbies to bonding over Harry Styles (lol). With all jokes aside, we have always been there for each other & we've both helped each other through some really tough moments. Our friendship is extremely resilient, loving, & always so much fun. I love Kayla with my entire being & I am just so extremely lucky to have her by my side on my special day.

Introducing my sister & bridesmaid, Jocelyn! Obviously I've known Jocelyn literally my entire life. Being so close in age, we've had our fair share of typical sisterly arguments. But honestly, I wouldn't ask for a better sister. No matter what's going on in both our lives, we're always there to support each other. I know I can always count on her for honest opinions, someone to lean on, or even just to hang out and watch stupid TV shows. I am forever grateful that I have such a supportive sister & I can't wait for you to be such a big part of this experience.

Introducing my beautiful bridesmaid, Katie! Katie and I met way back at our dance studio more than 15 years ago. Let me tell you, she's been there for me through thick and thin (especially through university LOL). Katie's seen me through my highs and lows, always keeping it real and being the amazing person she is. She's super kind, brutally honest (in the best way possible), and always there when I need a shoulder to lean on or just someone to vent to. Honestly, her friendship means the world to me, and I can't imagine my life without her. Katie, I adore you to bits and couldn't imagine walking down the aisle without you by my side.

Introducing my gorgeous bridesmaid, Jasmin! Jasmin came into my life around the same time Maggie did, as she's Maggie's cousin! We hit it off right from the start, like we just got each other, you know? Maybe it's because we both adore Maggie so much, or maybe it's because we're both the oldest siblings in our families. Whatever it is, we just clicked effortlessly. I can't wait to see our friendship grow over the years, but right now, I'm over the moon and incredibly honored that Jasmin said yes to standing by both Maggie and me on our big day. Thank you Jasmin for being you and I can't wait to officially be family!

Introducing my beautiful MOH, Savannah! Savannah & I became best friends the moment she was born as we are lucky enough to be cousins! The memories Savannah and I share go back a lifetime from when we would play games with our other cousins and siblings in our childhood like house, office, barbies, and enjoy endless summer days in the pool as mermaids. As we grew up, we started having constant dinner dates at our favorite Chinese buffet restaurant with a Barnes n’ Noble book shopping date when our small part-time jobs allowed for it. Through the challenges of emerging adulthood, finding our identities, and surviving college, we have grown as individuals and as family members. I can always count on her being in my corner through my darkest and lightest days, and I could only imagine getting married to Erika with Savannah standing right next to me. I love you, Savannah & thank you for joining me on my special day!

Introducing my beautiful bridesmaid, Khloe! From our little league softball days to basketball courts, Friendsgiving, girl’s trips, and now we have now added bridesmaid in each other’s weddings to our long list! Khloe has been a rock in my life as she has consistently stayed present, and we both equally always treated our friendship like family. Normally, friendships from younger years in school can be hard to make let alone maintain, yet Khloe and I defy the odds and still make consistent time for each other in our busy lives. Being only two days apart in age, we always had an easy way of understanding each other and what we are going through in our lives. With that, Khloe’s impact and advice is one I will always cherish and need to keep moving forward. With that being said, choosing Khloe was so obvious and was the second easiest decision I’ve ever had to make (first is deciding to marry Erika). I love you, Khloe & thank you for joining me on my special day!

Introducing my beautiful bridesmaid, Tara! Tara & I have not been friends since “forever”, but she is a forever friend! Tara and I met through mutual friends, and we instantly clicked. Our friendship blossomed through the times of the pandemic even though we couldn’t hang out as much, unless we risked it to go to Oliva Garden or Texas Roadhouse. Instead, we were resourceful and played Fortnite all day, every day, and talked on our headsets. As we gained victory royales, we also gained a deeper understanding of each other in our goals, plans, past stories, and endless jokes. During such a difficult time in the world, Tara’s friendship felt like a safe space where I could still connect with a good person and feel heard and validated. To this day, I always know I can count on Tara to be a great listener, encouraging friend, excellent Fortnite duos partner, and a forever safe space. I love you, Tara & thank you for joining me on my special day!

Introducing my beautiful bridesmaid, Karina! Karina is a sister to my MOH and Erika’s bridesmaid (Jasmin), although I have always felt that the bond between us grew beyond just cousins. Karina has always been the life of the party with her energetic and charismatic personality, which pairs so perfectly with her warm and loving character. We were both always associated as the athletes of the family and we enjoyed spending time together playing basketball, softball, and demolishing the competition at the family reunion’s egg toss. Not only did our relationship evolve from being athletes and playing sports together, but we have learned from each other on how to grow and continue being the best versions of ourselves. I will always cherish the young Karina I grew up with, but I could not be prouder of the woman she is today. Having Karina by my side is a true honor. I love you, Karina & thank you for joining me on my special day!
