Sami has been a constant in my life, always there with a listening ear and a heart full of love. As my cousin and friend, she’s the perfect Matron of Honor. I also had the honor of being in her wedding, a memory I’ll cherish forever. It’s a true gift to have her by my side for both of these special occasions.

Morgan is not only my friend and bridesmaid but also my soon-to-be sister-in-law. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine nature have made her an incredible part of this journey. Morgan is like the sister I never had — I steal her clothes on a regular basis, and she’s my go-to for makeup and hair when I need to get glammed up for a night out. I’m so lucky to have her in my life.

Stephen and I have been friends since 2009, when we met on the S&T Bank Little League baseball team. Over the years, our friendship grew through countless hours of sports, video games, and plenty of debates about fantasy football, politics, and really just about anything. He’s always been the kind of friend you can count on—whether it’s for advice or just to hang out. What I’ve always respected about Stephen is his consistency and loyalty, and no matter how far away he moved, he’s always made the effort to stay close. Through all the highs and lows, I’m grateful to have him as my best man and to have had him by my side all these years.

Chad is about to be my brother-in-law, but he's already a great friend. When I first found out Paige had a brother, I was a little nervous because she warned me that Chad would grill me, looking out for her. But from the start, Chad made me feel comfortable. Most of our time together involves heated debates about sports. We don’t just talk sports; we enjoy discussing a lot of different subjects, including religion, life, work, and just random topics. We also enjoy playing sports trivia games, grabbing drinks, and having a good time together. Chad has always been incredibly welcoming and social, making me feel like part of the family from the start. I’m really glad to have him as a friend, and I'm excited for the years ahead.

Lane and I have been friends since elementary school, and over the years, he’s always been a supportive presence in my life. We’ve had countless great conversations about everything from religion and relationships to sports and life in general. Growing up, we spent a lot of time playing sports in my yard—sometimes a little too hard. Lane took a beating, broke his finger, and even needed stitches in his eye after one of our wild games. Despite all that, he was always there for more. Through both the good times and the tough ones, Lane has been someone I can always count on. His friendship has been constant, and I’m grateful to have him by my side.

Ryan and I started playing hockey together in elementary school, and from the beginning, we were inseparable on and off the ice. Our parents often got frustrated with us because we’d spend so much time talking in the locker room after practice, leaving them waiting to head home. As we've gotten older, we’ve traded in the locker room for the golf course, grabbing drinks, and still play beer league hockey on Sunday nights. Through all the years, Ryan has been a consistent friend—always someone I can count on, whether it’s for a laugh, advice, or just to enjoy some time together. His loyalty and friendship mean a lot to me, and I’m grateful to have him in my life.

Max and I met in 2017 when we both played for the Allegheny Badgers hockey team—a team that, let’s just say, didn’t exactly have a winning season. We didn’t win a single game, but we sure had a lot of fun trying. A couple of years later, I ran into Max at IUP, and even though we hadn’t stayed in touch much since our hockey days, we quickly picked up where we left off. He joined our beer league hockey team, we hung out almost every weekend, and became a big part of each other's college lives. Even though we now live far apart, we still talk often and make an effort to visit when we can. Max has been a great friend through the years, and I’m grateful for the memories we’ve shared and the ones still to come.

Jesse moved to Homer in 11th grade, and we quickly became friends. We spent a lot of time together during high school, with our friend groups often overlapping and countless hangouts that turned into great memories.

After graduation, he moved to Florida, but we’ve always stayed in touch—whether it's catching up over text, grabbing a drink when we can, or getting in a few rounds of golf each year. I’ve visited him in Florida a number of times, and no matter how busy life gets, we always find time to reconnect.

Jesse’s been a steady presence in my life—loyal, genuine, and always up for a good laugh. I’m truly grateful for the friendship we’ve built over the years, and I’m excited to have him by my side on such an important day.
