From the moment we met during my sophomore year at Ohio U, Nadia took me in with such a warm heart. It is hard to express just how important her friendship has become to me over the years. We both shared a dream of moving to NYC after graduation and we helped each other reach that goal. We shared some wild and crazy college times (we'll save the stories for the speech!) as well as calmer and somber moments. I know we will always be by each others' side in life so it is only fitting that she stand beside me on this special day.

Joe and I have been best friends since essentially birth. We have been through it all together ( to the point where I'm afraid of his wedding day speech). Despite spending our whole adult lives in separate cities, he is, has and always will be like a brother to me.

My sister in law and newly mother to my first niece! Dana has become a sister to me in every sense of the word. She has been with us every step in helping us plan for our special day.

Josh was my freshman year roommate in college. We drove each other crazy and never lived together again, but he has always been a huge source of support, guidance and inspirationto me both personally and professionally.

I am so looking forward to calling Helena my sister. Helena has been most welcoming and generous to me and I truly appreciate her friendship. We both share a love of travel and I am looking forward to some family adventures together!

I couldn't ask for a better brother in law than Nate. We've been to the top of climbing walls and the top of mountains in the coldest of weather, and I look forward to our continued adventures together as family!!

Justin was my first cube-mate at Animoto. Over five years later, I like to think I brought him out of his shell :). Now as my boss and friend he serves as a source of sanity and hilarity in my everyday life.

It is hard to express the bond that I have with both Meghan and Beth. My longest friends; we have loved each other in our purest, and sometimes most awkward, high school days. We became inseparable once we all ended up on the same side of the Oakette kickline and have been finishing each others' thoughts and sentences ever since. From marching in 0 degree Christmas parades to marching down the aisle, I am so blessed to share my life with these ladies no matter the distances between us.
