You are really like my sister. You were the first friend I made when I moved to Chattanooga. And as life continues to throw lemons at us, I am so grateful to have you by my side (a call a way, or 20 min drive). You remind me to laugh at stupid stuff, be a confident shorty, and to love myself for who I am. Thank you! You are such an incredible friend, amazing mother, and THE BEST matron of honor. <3

I was SO clueless about football when we met, but one huge win that came out of Superbowl LIV was our friendship! You are the sweetest and most caring person I know. I knew you were gonna be family when you turned out to be a hugger > handshakes. Out of all our friends, you had a feeling D was gonna ask me that big question! Spidey senses! I am tremendously grateful to have you as one of my bridesmaids on this special day! <3

It was one Chatt Brew evening run when I saw you and Michael running like pros. I was just like , "Wow, that's a power couple!" Fast forward to years later, we are now like power rangers -- running Master P's, crewing Michael's Grindstone (becoming inspired to be an ultra runner), snowboarding @ Snowshoe, being Ladies of Leisure in Marlinton, conquering mountains in Hot Springs, paddling the Hiwassee. . . And I know there are more adventures in the making! Thank you for your planning skills and you're determination to do things! >:3 I am grateful to have you as a dear friend and one of my bridesmaids. <3
