Emily has remained one of my closest friends since we first connected in high school. We ended up attending the same college and now the same church. She has been with me through my many ups and downs over the last 10+ years. Her faithful friendship, selflessness and genuine care has been such a powerful source of stability in my life. I couldn't be more thankful to have her as my friend and maid of honor.

Joe and I have been best friends since birth as triplet brothers. As kids, we did pretty much everything together, which created a strong lifelong friendship. Even though we live in different towns now, we will always remain close and will always be there for each other. I was the Best Man in Joe's wedding in August 2023, and I'm so thankful and honored to have him as the best man in my wedding.

My (almost) birthday twin, Kaitlin has been one of my closest friends for the past 3 years. We have shared countless hours of deep conversation that has brought so much joy and healing to my soul. She understands me in ways that no one else ever has. Her intelligence and depth of insight constantly amaze me. I'm so grateful for her in my life and excited to have her as one of my bridesmaids.

My brother, Jay, is kind, caring, hardworking, and wise beyond his years. Even though he lives in Chicago with his family, he makes it a priority to spend time with the rest of us here in NY. And when we get together in-person, it feels as if we were never apart. He brings a sense of calm and stability to those around him. I'm truly thankful to have Jay as my brother and one of my groomsmen!

From shared middle school field trips, high school book club, homemade movies and boba tea talks, Abby has been my close companion and friend since 7th grade. She extends such a level of warmth and kindness to those around her and has encouraged me in countless ways over the years. Her joyful spirit and love for life is contagious and I'm so grateful to have her as one of my bridesmaids.

Phil is extremely genuine and reliable as my brother and friend. There is nothing that he won't do for the people in his life, and I know that I can always count on him. He is also very handy around the house and is always willing to teach people new skills. I have lived with him as a housemate for several years now, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I'm so thankful to have him as one of my groomsmen!

Genuine, humble, kind and artistic are the words that come to mind when I think of Carolina. We share a love for sushi and reality dating shows but also deep conversations about life. Carolina is someone I know I can talk to about anything without fear of judgement. Her calming presence and optimistic attitude have been such a blessing in my life over the past 2 years and I couldn't be more grateful to have her as one of my bridesmaids.

One of the things I love the most about my youngest brother, Jesse, is how much joy he spreads to everyone around him. He is always the first one to greet people with a big smile and a genuine welcome. He serves others with a selflessness that is truly rare to find. His joy and love for God and others are contagious, and I'm so happy to have him as one of my groomsmen.
