Ashley Lynn Ridenour, from the moment I met you, I knew you were someone special. As my soon to be sister-in-law, you’ve become so much more than just family—you’ve become a true friend. I don’t think I could ever fully express how thankful I am for you, but I’ll try. You made me feel welcomed right from the start—like I had always been a part of the family. You invited me in, made me laugh until my stomach hurt, and showed me that family isn’t just about blood—it’s about love, understanding, and connection.

Caity Christine Wilde, the one who’s always ready for a spontaneous adventure, no matter how last-minute or unexpected. We’ve had the most unforgettable memories, from impromptu road trips to late nights in the city, laughing until we couldn’t breathe. With her, every moment is an adventure, and we’ve shared countless stories that always feel like the beginning of something new and exciting. Whether we were getting lost in a new city or a last minute night out, she has been my partner, my best friend in every crazy, unforgettable experience. We’ve seen each other through so many stages of life. We’ve cheered each other on, comforted one another, and celebrated the small victories along the way.

Karen Jean Persin, we have been inseparable since high school—through all the chaos, laughter, and unforgettable moments, our friendship has always been a constant. Over the years, life took us in different directions, but we never lost touch. The best part? We’ve always had those spontaneous Chicago trips to look forward to. Most nights, though, it wasn’t about the trips or the big adventures. It was the quiet moments at home, with a bottle of wine between us, sitting on the couch, talking about life. We’d go through phases, but no matter where we were in life, we always found time to catch up. We’d relax, share stories, laugh about things only we would understand, and offer each other advice that only a best friend could give. We’ve seen each other through so many stages of life. You've always been there in the little ways that make life feel less heavy.
