Briana is my older sister and the one person who has literally been there for every stage of my life, the good and the bad. We've been #1 enemies and we've been best friends, we've laughed together, and we've cried together. I am so blessed to have such an amazing support system and a big sister that is one of my biggest fans. I couldn't ask for a better sister or imagine anyone else being my maid of honor!

Since stealing her boyfriend in 3rd grade, Ashley and I's friendship has always been a constant in my life. Our friendship has been through just about everything you could imagine and hasn't faltered once, even when we moved in completely different directions. I am very thankful to have her in my life and even more thankful to have her standing beside me on my wedding day!

Anna and I met at Lake Land College my freshman year and bonded fairly quickly. Anna was always very quiet and liked to stay in her room and I was the complete opposite, which resulted in me dragging her out of her room to go to a party with me and we've been best friends every since! She has seen me at my worst but also pushed me to be my best and cheered me on every step of the way. Our friendship has always been full of adventure, laughs, and honesty and I thank God for bringing Anna into my life when He did. Although I wish she still lived next door so we could hangout every day, I can't wait to have her down here standing beside me on our wedding day!

Mel and I's friendship began in high school, honestly out of nowhere. Throughout the years, we've bonded over our love for Jack and coke, country concerts, and spontaneous adventures. She's been my biggest supporter throughout the years and has always made it a point to come visit me-regardless of where I decided to move! My family loves her as one of our own and I can always rely on her, no matter what the case.

Linds and I met through work and are the complete opposite types of people, but I couldn't imagine my life without her now. Even though she likes hot pink, sparkles, and all things girly, she is the one friend of mine who would put herself up against anyone-man or woman-to defend me or any one of her friends. We've only known/been friends with each other for the last few years, but I feel like I've known her for a lifetime. I can always count on her to make me laugh be my biggest hype girl. I'm so lucky to be able to call her one of my best friends and cannot wait for her to be one of my bridesmaids!

Ans and I also met at work, where we've bonded over our love for animals, country music, and being short and blonde. She is the most genuine and humble person that I've ever had the pleasure of being friends with. I met Ans when I was in a relationship that I was constantly unhappy in and she was always listening and reminding me that I deserved better. I believe that she was brought into my life to be a light and to help guide me in the right direction, which was away from that relationship and towards Matt. I truthfully believe that everyone needs an Ansley in their life and I'm so blessed to be able to call her one of my best friends and one of my bridesmaids!

Lizzie and I officially met at a birthday dinner that she had invited us to for her husband, Zach. I was so excited to meet them that night because Matt was (and still is) literally on the phone with Zach 24/7 and talked so highly about both of them. Lizzie and I hit it off pretty quickly so the four of us booked a trip to the beach a few weeks later! Since then, Lizzie has become the friend I can always call/text for advice, the one who is ALWAYS down for shopping or anything spontaneous, and the one I can count on to agree with me that it is absolutely a good idea for me to quit my job and be a stay at home dog mom (she'd quit with me). I can't wait to have her beside me on Matt and I's wedding day (:

Ashley is Matt's older sister and someone that we hangout with often. Whether we are cooking out, hanging out at the pool, letting our dogs run around like maniacs together, or watching the boys attempt to build things, we always have fun! Not having my sisters here is tough sometimes, so I love having Ashley in my corner to talk to, hangout with, or to help out if I ever need her! I'm excited to be gaining another sister and to have her as a bridesmaid!
