When I look back at my relationship with Emma, I don’t know a life without her! Emma and I have been best friends for close to 10 years. We have lived through so much together. I mean all of my best memories are with Emma by my side, from every countless milestone, weathered every storm, and have created unforgettable memories that define my personal growth. I could not imagine her not being right next to me as she has been through everything with me. I would not be half of the person I am today, without her.

Nathan is my 1st Best Man. He and I have been friends since kindergarten. He is one of the most loyal and trustworthy people that I know! Nathan has always been a rock for me. No matter what I need I can always count on him to be there for me. I can't tell you how many times we shot hoops in his front yard or went to play catch at the fields and just talked about life and what we wanted to accomplish. I can't explain how much that means to me. Nathan thank you for always being able to calm me down and talk to me no matter what I'm going through.

Heather has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and she’s witnessed me grow through so many phases. From that awkward, dorky 13-year-old just trying to keep up with the big kids, to standing by my side at my engagement when I was just 19. Heather is someone I know I can trust with anything — there’s no judgment, just understanding and unconditional support. I treasure every moment we’ve shared, from spontaneous adventures to the deeply meaningful milestones, like when she and CJ asked me to be godparents to their beautiful daughter. Heather is not just a friend; she’s family. She embodies the true meaning of both friendship and loyalty, and I’m incredibly grateful for her place in my life. She’s someone I can always count on, and I wouldn’t want to go through life without her by my side.

I got the pleasure of meeting CJ when I first got together with Mandi! He has always ensured to me I was apart of the family. CJ has become one of the closest friends I have ever had. He even asked me to be the godfather of his little girl! CJ and I have always had an awesome connection since we met. We like to go fishing all the time at Bennet Springs and try to see who can get the biggest Trout. CJ is someone I know who will always be there for me to talk to or rant to any time I need. He will forever be one of my best friends and best fishing partners in life. #husbandsforlife

Jessie's friendship is a precious gift in my life, filled with guidance, love, and unwavering honesty. She is my go-to-gal for some tough love and home truths - and I adore how she dishes it out with a side of love. I love how she is 100% honest with me, even when it's hard. That truly is a testament to her remarkable character and depth of her caring. We have known each other for about 4 years. Jessie has seen Nick and I's relationship from the beginning to now. Jessie has a heart full of so much love. Which is what makes her such a great person.

I don’t even know where to begin. Jackson and I grew up together practically inseparable. Whether it came to the sports we played or just hanging out in general you could not keep us away from each other. He is always going to be a brother to me. His Grandparents consider me one of their own. I am so thankful to have Jackson in my life. He always made sure I kept up with anything that I was doing or wanting to do. Jackson means the world to me and I would do anything for him. Jackson is one of the best people in my life. I am so grateful I have had the pleasure of calling him one of my best friends for over 10 years. I can't wait to share my special day with you!! #whatsupbrother

Mallory and I connected through our fiancés, sparking a beautiful friendship! We are constantly talking about life. Mallory is an amazing support system in my life. She listens without judging, validates my feelings, and offers words of comfort. It could be our softball Sundays or 2 hours in the car we always have something to talk about. Our friendship is a precious gift that brings so much joy and depth into my life.

Keaton is my 2nd Best man. He and I always have a good time when we are with each other. We have been best friends since 6th grade. Keaton and I ALWAYS hung out from 6th grade and on. Playing interception, wiffle ball, and baseball. When we weren't doing that we would be hanging out walking our dogs through the creek, building actual forts, or just hanging out at his or my house. He has always been there for me whether I needed support or I needed to stand up for myself. Keaton has always seen the best in me and I can't thank him enough for that.

Starting my freshman year, Taylor truly took me under her wing and ensured I never felt isolated. Taylor has always empowered me to face the hard things head-on, all while sticking by my side through thick and thin. From learning back-handspring- ups 3 days before state to school's messy moments, she never let me face it alone. She always been my voice of reasoning when I have not wanted to approach things in my truest Mandi way. I am so appreciative of mine and Taylor’s friendship!

Jacob is the first friend I ever got to spend the night with. Jacob has taught me many things in life, how to ride/wreck a dirt bike, drive a go-kart, and install parts on whatever vehicle I have. We have been super close friends ever since I can remember. He means more to me and my family than he'll ever know. He has always been there for me whether it's to pull me out of a ditch or just relaxing and having a cold beer. Jacob, you'll always be one of my best friends!!

Emma, you are the life of the party, without a doubt. I know that no matter what we’re doing, you somehow turn it into an unforgettable adventure. Whether we’re strolling through Seattle at midnight, laughing under the city lights, or toasting on the shores of Punta Cana, taking shots and celebrating life, you bring an energy that makes every moment feel special. I can’t wait to officially join your family, to gain not just a cousin, but a sister. I’m so excited for the memories we’ll continue to create together — the laughter, the love, and all the joy you bring into my life. I’m beyond grateful for you and the incredible bond we share.

Alex and I met while playing baseball for the Owls. At first, I didn't know what to think of him, but obviously, you can tell how it went. Alex and I always hang out and play golf or go the the gym. He is one of the few people I talk to every single day. I can talk to him about absolutely anything. I don't know what I would do without him.
