"I met Rayanne in fourth grade and we have been inseparable ever since. We grew up together and it’s hard to believe that we’re in our 20s and she’s getting married. I can’t wait to continue being best friends for life and experiencing more milestones together!"-Carlin

“I met Rayanne when she and Jake first started “talking” way back in high school when Jake started picking her up for school. From first car rides to seeing the positive impact she’s had on Jake’s life over the last 8 years and having someone in my corner at family events, I couldn’t be more excited that my brother chose such a caring, genuine person to bring into the family. I cannot wait to finally get the sister I’ve always wanted, and I’m so glad it’s Rayanne!”-Jordan

I met Jake in 6th grade when he randomly messaged me on Facebook after a school event. Being the social butterfly that he is, I wasn’t ready for his barrage of questions, but we quickly became friends when my dad picked him for our little league basketball team. I nicknamed him 'Lights Out' because he never missed a shot in practice but somehow missed every shot during games. Over the years, our friendship grew through middle school, high school, and college. Even though he still mentions his glory days of 6th grade basketball and blames me for our losses, Jake is one of my best friends, and I’m thrilled to see him marry someone as amazing as Rayanne!

I've had the privilege and opportunity to watch my brother, Jacob grow-up into the young man that he is today. While we haven't always gotten along, we do know that we have each other's back in life. I am so proud of the life that he has built for Rayanne and himself, and I cannot wait to see their journey continue to unfold. I am proud to call Jake my brother and friend.

Jake and I first met in little league basketball, and we’ve been friends ever since. From running plays on the court to sharing countless laughs off it, he’s always been a great teammate and an even better friend. Our bond has stood the test of time, and I’m grateful to have someone like Jake in my corner. -Kameron

I met Jake through his neighbor. We would play basketball every night til 2 am in Jake’s driveway using our cars headlights so we can still see the goal at night. From then on Jake and I have been hanging out ever since playing basketball multiple times a week and of course our Euchre nights at Applebees! When Jake puts his mind to something he is very persistent. Whether that’a him trying to get under someone’s skin, his job at the high school, or being there for the people he cares about. I have no doubt this will transfer over into his marriage with Rayanne and I am very exited for you both and I’m glad to even be a small part of the journey.

I met Jake through school. We became good friends because of Carlin and Rayanne and playing euchre together at Applebees every week.

All the way back in 2008 upward basketball was when I met Jake. From all the way back then Jake was vibrant and full of energy. I had no idea back then I’d be meeting a life long friend. Throughout the years, Jake has always brought that high energy and jokes with him, making him the life of any occasion. His deep loyalty and care for his people has made our friendship only grow as we’ve gotten older and further apart. I am so excited to see him marry Rayanne and be apart of the special day.
