Rhylie and I have been best friends since the 7th grade. She is someone I know I can go to for anything and has been by my side through a lot of hardships! She is funny, so smart, and honest and I’m very glad to have her as my maid of honor.

I only have one sibling, and am lucky to have such a great one as my big sister, Sonya. She is family oriented, extremely caring, and hard working. I can’t wait to share my big day with her by my side.

Ashley is my future sister-in-law! Never have I met someone with such a big heart as Ashley. She is always giving complements, offering a listening ear, and showing kindness to everyone! I’m excited to have her as a part of my day.

Lindsey and I met through our fiancés and have been friends ever since! She is supportive, so kind-hearted, and ensures the wellbeing about those around her. She’s always there when I need a shoulder to lean on and to hype me up! Thank you for being a part of my day!

Kait and I met in Respiratory Therapy school and became friends while doing clinical rotations together! She was and has been so supportive to me and my ambitions in life. I appreciate her level headed advice, big heart, and goofiness!

Nathaniel is my nephew but I consider him to be a brother. We grew up together and he has always been there for me. I appreciate his open-minded attitude about life and his ability to give advice. I’m excited for Nate to be a part of my wedding party!

Skylar is my brother and my best friend. We met through a couple mutual friends about 24 years ago but didn’t really click until a few years after that. Skylar shares my perspective on a lot of things, and he is an incredible support for me when times are tough. A brother heart-to-heart can solve just about all of what ails you, and it certainly helps that Dr. Stacy is now state certified to check out a suspicious mole. He’s a good dude, and I have at least 3 saved voicemails from him where he is either screeching or yelling a string of profanities. Love you, bubba.

Connor is a sick pup. No, he’s a good guy. I met Connor in Middle School, and after destroying light fixtures in his home, the deal was sealed-- we were buds. Such good buds in fact, that we became roommates, destined to become besties. As besties, we had great days of bonding filled with trying to figure out how one could burn scrambled eggs black, or how one could, theoretically, clean said eggs out of the pan. Also notable is Connor teaching me all about his favorite player, Steven Curry. Won’t forget those magic days of college roomie shenanigans.

Nathan is my buddy. We met in High School debate class where all the ding-dongs argue about silly things that don’t matter and will never happen. Like elevators that go to space and affordable healthcare. Nathan and I have talked regularly since those days of debate, and it means a lot to me that we have stayed such close friends. We’ve got some great stories, and once he moves his sorry a** back to Kansas, I look forward to making more.

I met Kobie in Middle School, and we became quick friends. We carried the dank & dirty low brass section in band and boy, could Kobie carry a tune. Kobie played a tune right into our hearts at Sandy Plums (the college house) and we had great times together. We cooked, we rapped, we played pong, and we got jobs. He’s a good man, and he taught me some of the sickest dance moves I know.

I met Bryce through Reddit while I was soliciting partners… for tennis. Bryce quickly became a close friend after proving that my Uncle Rico approach to tennis wasn’t working. I’ve learned a lot from Bryce. He’s like an old and wise monk. So old and so wise. So very, very old. Bryce is my oldest friend. Not like, I’ve known him forever, he’s just so darn old. I admire Bryce for the way that he really thinks and cares deeply for those around him and his lovely Fiancé (soon-to-be-wife). I am so thankful to have him as a friend. May I say, a bestie.

Kinsey is a great friend to the house of Sandy Plums, and she took care of us. You don’t have to know Kins for more than a minute to know that she cares about her friends, and she cares hard. I won’t get too deep in the rabbit hole, but just know that if you’ve got a Veronica in your life, then Kinsey will throw down. She also throws down in Mario Kart. A true bestie.
