This is Alexis , I call her Lex. She is my Matron of Honor. We became friends through a mutual friend and have been connected ever since. There is nobody else I’d rather get my nails done and go shopping with , or even just ride around and talk about absolutely everything. Her girls call me auntie kayla. I’ve never had someone be so accepting of all my weird quirks and also someone that understands my dark humor HAHA. We always laugh every time we’re together and have shared so so many memories and she has always been there for me when I need her the most. She’s the younger sister I never received and I’m so proud to call her my matron of honor. I love you so much Lex.

This is Kate. She’s been a part of my life for decades now. We met when we were little , her mom dated my mom’s brother , and she so luckily got to spend some time living with my grandparents. We spent so much time together growing up , she was around so much my family treated her like another granddaughter. She was like having a built in big sister that was a gift I never got to experience. But she gave that to me.

This is Kristin. She is my cousin but she is like an older sister to me. Since the beginning of time she has been such a huge part of my life. We have been through everything together and she has always been a shoulder for me to lean on or there when i need her the most. Anything she cooks always tastes better than when anyone else makes it. Especially her sandwiches!! And it’s simply just cause she makes it, I don’t really know why but she makes everything better. She is someone I’ve always strongly looked up to. I aspire to be just like her going into my marriage and when I become a mother. She has the kindest heart and always does for everyone , including me , before herself. She is unbelievably selfless and the kind of love we share is unmatched. I love you so much and I’m so grateful to have you in my life !

It’s been an absolute pleasure watching her grow up and become a little bestie / sidekick. She is happy , funny, she is a little firecracker and absolutely has been a huge light in my life. You can always catch her playing dress up or wanting her nails done , she is definitely a girly girl! But she is one tough cookie that’s for sure. My life wouldn’t be the same without this sweet girl. I love you so much miss ady girl.

This is Zachary but we all call him “Zac”. I used to be his teacher and then when we discovered he would no longer be an only child , I came to take care of him and his sister Adriana full time , as their nanny. I’ve known Zac since he was 1 and he turns 8 this October. He is my spirit animal and even though he’s a kid he has become one of my best friends. He has the best personality and is his daddy’s twin. He looks tall but he’s actually short for his age ( he told me to tell you this ). Zac is such a great kid with such a big heart and he truly will always be the life of the party. He can’t wait to break it down on the dance floor on wedding day! He is so special to me and I’m so lucky to have such good ring security. I love you so much bubb!
