Montana and I have been friends for about 10 years now. I met her playing travel softball in high school and we’ve been close ever since! She is the sister I never had and has been so helpful with this wedding. She is kind and sweet and you’ll know her cuz she looks just like me 😂

Joelle and I have been cousins all our lives but bloomed an awesome friendship when we got to high school. We bonded over music (she played trumpet and French horn as did I). Some how she managed to bring out a girlie side to my Tomboyish ways. She has been awesome and supportive. She is kind, smart, and has some piercing beautiful blue eyes with dark brown hair!

Jocelyn and I have been friends for 5 years. I met her when we were work studying together in college. She is so fun and humorous. Super laid back and easy to get along with! She has been an amazing friend over the years! We have had many unbelievable adventures and she has been there for me when I needed her most! She is wonderful in every way and will have the best dance moves of anyone!

Jessica and I have been building an unexpected wonderful friendship since I met her about 2 years ago. She is Nick’s younger sister and she is funny, smart, adventurous, and down right awesome to be around! I have loved getting to know her and figuring out we are actually a lot alike! I can’t wait for what our future holds and so grateful she is a lovely friendship to go along with a lovely man!

Matt has been a troublemaker as long as I have known him! I was invited into his friend group way back in 2009 and we have been friends ever since! Unlike my teenage years, my early 20s were full of social times and Matt was at the heart of it. We used to work at the YMCA in Kansas City but we'd hit the town, do ski or float trips and expand our friend-group. Matt has always been charismatic, full of humor, and committed to his friends and family.

When you think of someone who's witty, kind, and understanding- I first think of Matt. We all used to poke fun at each other, and Matt was at the core of it! We have been friends ever since our YMCA days, Chiefs games, ski trip and all the days and nights we hung out! My last wedding I attend was his and Laurens and I wish them the absolute best and I am grateful he'll be there for mine!

Mike has been friends with both Matt's since before I knew him, but Mike has taught me a lot of the years. We all used to work at the YMCA and he trained with me and Listhartke to build muscle and strength. Over the years, we have been good friends and I love to hang out with him when I come back to Kansas City! Mike is confident, strong willed, and great friend. No icing me!

As one of my closest friends, I have always trusted Andrew and relied on him! Since moving to North Carolina, he has been always there in good and bad times. He's ambitious, positive, and always down for a good time! We have been friends since we worked together at the community center in Greenville, NC and yet were both still outgoing just like we were when we met years ago!
