Ashley, Rachel's younger sister, has been a huge part of both of our lives. Though we butted heads often when we were growing up, as we became older, we became the best of friends. We grew up playing with American Girl dolls in our shared bedroom and doing gymnastics side by side and now, though Ashley is the younger sister and lives hundreds of miles away, she continues to give plenty of fashion advice and send daily TikTok videos. We have grown together so much as we grow older with our love for margaritas and wine and always can't wait until we're meeting up for the weekend, taking girls trips to Nashville, or getting together the holidays. I couldn't imagine the day without Ashley by my side.

Tuan has been my right hand man since Kennedy Middle School. Tommy and I practically grew up at his grandma's house at that time: running 2v2's at the park basketball courts, trekking to Walgreens for Arizona Iced Teas, and playing COD zombies for ungodly amounts of time. Throughout high school, Tommy and I remained side-by-side, continuing to hoop and running Destiny raids as co-captains. A lot has changed between then and now but Tommy's always had my back. For that reason, Tommy's the perfect fit for the position of Best Man. Fingers crossed this next trip to Texas is the one to convince him to move out here. Cheers brother!

The Rachel's have been best friends for over 13 years! We met in 7th grade when starting junior high together and the rest is history. Over the years we went through the awkward phases of middle and high school together, celebrated multiple proms, graduations, and all the events in between. Wherever one was, the other was close by. Once we left for college, the Facetime calls and texts grew so important. Though we've been long distance BFF's for almost 8 years, we'll always know how to have a good time when we're together either relaxing at the beach or hanging out at a local winery!

Parker and I have been friends since elementary school, so you would think his exceptional dancing skills would have rubbed off on me by now. Parker's care-free, relaxed nature and love of music have always been things I've appreciated about him. When I hear a fire song or spot a new album, he's always been the first I send it too or ask his opinion on it. Parker's been my close friend and brother for about as far back as I can remember. Can't wait to celebrate this day with him!

Emory was one of my best friends at the University of Florida and met on the club gymnastics team! Both having a love for gymnastics, country music, the Gators, and coffee, you always knew where to find us. During college, we spent long weekdays and Sundays in Marston Science Library waiting for our coffee break and eating wraps for lunch, meeting up daily for our workouts at the gym or gymnastics, and on Saturday's in the fall, you would find us at Gator Football games together. Now, whenever we're together, we love the beach, the Lemon Bar in Jax Beach and local coffee shops or wine bars!

As crazy as it sounds, Aaron and I have been friends for 20 years. After two decades, you can imagine the amount of inside jokes we've built up (some of which we'll take to the grave). No doubt, Aaron is one of the funniest people I've met. I still chuckle at random things that happened all the way back in Ms. Sharpe's class in 1st grade and summer camps while we were growing up. Even recently, I couldn't go to dinner in Tampa without belly laughing with Aaron in the middle of Chili's. Beyond this, Aaron is a genuinely good person and a great friend. Here's to many more decades brother!

Crystal and I met at our dorm, Rawlings Hall, within the first few weeks of college at the University of Florida. Both moving down to Florida from the Northeast, we instantly bonded on NY pizza and bagels. We would spend late nights in the common area getting Subway or Chomp It chicken tenders and spent Sundays watching NFL games. When we weren't at the dorm, we were at Frat Row on a game day or at a Gator sporting event. As we went through college, we met up in the summers on Long Island for country concerts, and would spend the weekends in college exploring the town. Now being across the US from each other, you can still catch us talking football, flying to see each other, and most recently, going to the HoustonRodeo together!

Since middle school, Hayden and I have been grinding CoD and shooting hoops. Whether it was in school, on the court, or when I rotated it when I shouldn't have, Hayden's always came through in a pinch. We both have competitive natures, which lead to now-hilarious arguments like using trophy systems in a private CoD lobby or going back and forth about who actually came up with the Pikachu lightning strategy to beat big Mario (still me). Hayden will always be part of the fam and I'm glad we had the chance to live in Gainesville together at the Ridge. Whether visiting for a football game or passing through to elsewhere, it's nice to know I have family in Gainesville. Go Gators!

When I went to college, I needed another Rachel around to get me through, and that's when our paths crossed! Rachel and I met in club gymnastics at UF and sat in chemistry class together the first semester! We both studied APK and had plans to go to PA School following, therefore we instantly were friends! We would spend days in our APK classes together, going to Ginnie Springs, and flipping at gymnastics together. After college, we applied to PA School and ended up both moving to Tampa to go to USF together! We spent 2 years studying, going through clinicals together, and became Bull Gators (but always still cheered on the Gators)! Now were both PA's in oncology and always know we can come to each other with questions and help!

Luke is Rachel's, and soon to be my, younger brother. Luke and I are very similar. We both love running, video games, and solid memes. We're both Gators and love New York bagels (although Luke questions how I butter them). Luke and I've grown closer over the years as we've had the chance to spend more time together. Running around as a family on a cruise through Central America was an experience I'll never forget. I'm glad to have Luke by my side on the big day!
