My constant through it all and my very best friend. From navigating NYC together to living together, traveling the world, and now living across the street from one another, she's been by my side through every chapter. She is the best older sister and I'm so thankful for life with her. She was the first person in our family to meet Alex—once she approved, everyone knew he was the real deal! She is the best and I truly don't know what I'd do without her!

My brother. Yes, even at 6-foot-100 he is my younger brother. It’s been great having him in NYC after spending years across the country! One of the kindest, most caring people out there, and I’m so excited to have him by my side during this season of life. There’s nothing that will phase Ben, and there’s nothing that he can’t turn into a funny moment. A guy that everyone wants to have to keep life real and fun.

My twin—and now a mom-to-be! She's been by my side since the very beginning (literally)! I'm so excited to celebrate this special season of life with her and feel so lucky she'll be standing beside me before she begins this incredible new chapter of her own. I can't wait to show our new niece pictures of us with her at our wedding!

Our Dads knew each other for years, but we met as summer interns at WROC-TV in Rochester in 2013, and have been close ever since. Between birthday trips (both having March birthdays), endless Bills and Sabres games, rounds of golf & more, we’ve become the closest of friends. Jordan is a friend who will always be there to help at any time of any day. A true ride-or-die.

My friend since preschool! We've celebrated so many milestones together, and now we are getting married in the same year! If you would have asked us if this was possible years ago we would have laughed! My gal through it all! She's my go-to interior designer and always knows how to make everything in life feel beautiful and fun. Life is simply brighter with Brooke in it!!

Greg is a true lifelong friend. When I say lifelong, I mean truly since day 1. I don’t think there’s another non-family member that I have known longer. We met as babies, grew up as very close friends, continued our Dads’ legacy as roommates at Ohio University, and have stayed best buds to this day. The Damschroders have been family since the start, and I’m so happy to have Greg with me during this time in my life.

The friend who keeps me laughing, grounded, and never takes life too seriously! She's been my saving grace during my years in NYC, and I'm so grateful for every memory we've made together! Our very own Queen of Nebraska—just ask her about it! She's the kind of friend everyone deserves and I'm so lucky to have her in my corner!

My friend since middle school. We’ve come a long way since setting off the smoke alarm for the entire hotel in high school (admittedly 100% my fault). As the commissioner of our fantasy football league for now almost 20 years, Lyubo has kept our Pittsford friends close even from afar. We’ve gone on countless trips together, experienced the ups and downs of Buffalo Bills football together, and more—excited to share this part of life with Alec.

My NYC pen pal! When he's not busy building TikTok business or writing me letters, he's busy being one of the gals! The King of Nebraska in these parts. He makes everything more fun and keeps everyone laughing wherever he goes! I'm so grateful for the joy he brings to life—NYC wouldn't be the same without him!

We met on our first day of college at Ohio University (roommates during our junior and senior years) and have stayed great friends since. Between golf, soccer, video games, love for EDM music and more, we’ve become even closer since graduation—while being miles away. Just like he is passionate for Aston Villa, he is loyal to the people around him.

My forever roomie! From high school, to college, and beyond, we've made countless memories together. One of my favorites being our award-winning friendship after taking home the "Partners in Crime" award in college! Life is always more fun with Bax, and she also happens to be the ultimate karaoke partner. One Direction and Justin Bieber being the fan favorites. My ride or die! Her first time meeting Alex she admitted to liking him right away which was new for her!!! Very exciting.

Bay Bay! Nothing will top that absurd Spanish class that we met during in middle school. We quickly became golf buddies and great friends. Bayer always does everything with a smile, and truly knows how to make you laugh harder than you would ever expect. We’re years removed from our pick up games in the lot across from his parents house, but have stayed closer than ever.

Truly one of a kind. One of my favorite humans who's been there through it all and someone who brings joy, whimsy, and laughter wherever she goes. She was the first friend to meet Alex! With her infamous line asking “When was the last time you made a snow angel?" She has a way of making every moment more fun and really makes you think...!

Eric Yes. A great college friend and soon to be father! Countless memories from OU, but even more as we’ve become adult post-college. Even as he was in San Francisco, to now Boston, we’ve stayed close with our countless trips and random chats on the phone—and shared love for golf and sports gambling (responsively, of course). So excited to have him involved in this season of life.

My constant, no matter the distance!! She's always off on a new adventure and inspiring me with stories from around the world! No matter where life takes us, she's always been there. She knows how to show up in the best ways—will drive 2 hours just to have dinner with you! The kind of friend everyone needs in life! Also newly married after having the most amazing wedding in Guatemala this year. And the best at playing phone tag catching me just when I need her!!

A true example of why the internet and social media can be good sometimes. We met while I was working for Mike., and after countless late nights playing Call of Duty, and trips to visit for golf and more, we have become great friends since. It was amazing being able to introduce him to Jack through gaming, and have them meet for the first time in person when we surprised Evan at his 30th birthday (shoutout to Evan’s wife, Alex)!
