My lovely soon-to-be sister-in-law everybody! Just as spicy and crazy as I am and that's why she gets the honor of being my right-hand lady! Maybe she'll be able to keep my psycho in check...😂

Some friendships are built on constant conversation, but ours has always been built on something deeper — the kind of connection that never fades, no matter how much time passes. We’ve known each other since middle school and graduated together in 2013, and throughout every stage of life, she has remained one of the sweetest, most genuine people I know.

She’s silly, endlessly giving, and the kind of friend who makes everyone around her feel loved and supported. She may not even realize it, but she also played a huge role in inspiring my own taekwondo journey. I remember watching her train when we were younger and thinking how amazing it was, and years later, that memory helped motivate me to begin my own path toward earning my black belt.

As two fellow Leos with birthdays close together, we’ve always just clicked effortlessly. Even when life gets busy and we don’t talk all the time, our friendship has always been able to pick right back up where it left off — like no time has passed at all. I’m beyond grateful to still have her in my life after all these years, and even more honored to have her standing beside me as one of my bridesmaids on such a special day!
