Jessica has been by my side since the day I was born (literally). I have always looked up to her, and I am grateful for the great sister and wonderful friend she is. She's always stood by my side, especially during our childhood adventures, and I'm so grateful that she'll be standing with me as my Matron of Honor.

Ryan and I have been friends since 1996 and he was the first friend I made after moving to a new school. Ryan is one of my group of friends since elementary school, "The Boys." Though we haven't always lived near each other, we've always had a great friendship. I couldn't be happier that he has agreed to be my Best Man.

Alicia and I have been as thick as thieves since 2014. We met in the dorms of University of Redlands, where we became fast friends and have remained close ever since. Her laughter, her love for country music, and her affinity for goats are all a part of what makes her the amazing person she is. I am so thankful for her standing with me.

Josiah and I met in High School while in band together. Josiah is one of my closest friends and together we've traveled the country with Vanguard, played in orchestras, and worked together (both at the same place and in the same field.) Josiah is one of my best friends and I couldn't imagine getting married without him by my side.

Kathryn and I met in SLP graduate school in Texas. Kathryn's down for anything attitude and love for all things Texas drew me in instantly. Kathryn is full of fun, southern charm, and probably Dr. Pepper. She is a great friend and I am honored to have her by my side.

Cody is another of "The Boys" friend since 1996. Cody is one of the kindest people I know and an even better friend. I was lucky enough to be a groomsman in Cody's wedding and I am beyond grateful he has agreed to be a groomsman at mine.

Erin and I first met via Zoom, as we had been hired to work together in the Ventura district. Erin's ambition, humor, and love for country music helped to form our friendship. While our first portion of our friendship was through a screen, Erin and I have become very close. I am so happy to have Erin stand by my side.

Daniel is another friend that I've had since 1996 and another one of "The Boys" friends. Daniel is one of my closest friends and is always there to hang out or see a movie together. Daniel is also one of the smartest people I know and I consider myself lucky to be friends with him.

Alex and I met in 2014 at University of Redlands in the dorms freshman year. He is a fiercely loyal friend, health nut, and is a great source of laughter and joy. He is also probably the loudest person in the room at any given time. I am so happy that Alex is standing with me as my bridesman.

David and I met when I started with the Sheriff's Office. David trained me right out of the academy and we quickly became good friends. David is one of the most selfless people I know and he has always been willing to help anyone in need. I'm thankful he agreed to be a part of my wedding.

Glen and I met shortly after Megan and I started dating. Glen is a quiet, but very funny and intelligent person. Glen and I quickly became friends as he helped welcome me into their family. Glen's passion for animals is something I greatly admire and I'm glad he agreed to be a groomsman.
