Bergy and I met in the beginning of our nursing career at UW. Even though we met later in life, it has always felt like our souls were connected from the start. We talk daily about everything and nothing at the same time. She is always there to cheer me on or pick me up. We've taken plenty of girls trips from Door County to Mexico with countless memories I'll never forget. I am so grateful to have her by my side for this special day and to add to our laundry list of unforgettable memories together.

Jordy-Bball and I met at the hospital as well when she was just starting in the field as a nursing assistant. So needless to say, we have been through literal crap together. We were raised very similarly and have the same beliefs/values. Every time we are together we never fail to have a good time.

Al and I met in high school where we played alongside each other in sports. We continued our friendship throughout college becoming roommates my junior year. She has one of the kindest souls and biggest hearts I have ever met. She is always there to encourage and support me through every life challenge and change.

Emily and I met in nursing school and hit it off quickly. We spent countless nights studying, hitting up the Madison bars, and numerous girls trips living our best lives. We always pick up right where where we left off as if no time has ever passed. She has been a built in sister from the start.

Danimal and I met through nursing as well. At the time, her fiance was living with Kyle and encouraged me to come to a party they were having to meet him. (Thank you for encouraging this because clearly it worked out). Danica has become one of my closest and truest friends the last few years. We are now living fifteen minutes apart, spending a lot of time on double dates and dinner parties.

Meg-Meg and I have been friends since grade school. Throughout life we have been at different colleges and lived in different cities, but we have never failed to lose our connection. I've been able to stand next to her on her big day and now watch her become a momma to her sweet babes. We have been through so many phases of life together and I can't wait to continue this next chapter.

Mik and I met in college through Allyson and quickly became roommates struggling through nursing school together. We spent plenty of nights watching Friends when we should've been studying, or going out to the bars when we should have been sleeping. We've spent so many years watching each other grow and learn and love and lose. She's helped scrape me off the ground plenty of times. It is never a dull moment when we are together and you should look for her on the dance floor having the best time.

Daloofus and I met in Kindergarten and the rest is history. We spent so many weekends together at one another's houses playing mermaids, sneaking out, calling the radio station, and riding four wheelers. We have had so many long nights crying and laughing together. She has been there in my corner for every phase of life and always will continue to be.

TJ and I have been best friends for as long as I can remember. What started with playing game boy together on hotel beds and basketball tournaments in the driveway, all the way to college roommates, a lifelong friendship was formed. Through all of life's ups and downs, TJ and I have always been there for one another. If you're looking for a guy that would take the shirt off of his back or give a stranger his last dollar, TJ is that guy.

My little brother. Always kind of annoyed me that he was better than me at almost everything he did. That's also one of the traits I envy in him. Everything he does, he wants to be the best. Blake is one of the most genuine, fun-loving, and kind best friends a guy could ask for. Even though he lives 300 miles away, we stay in touch like we are next door neighbors.

My middle brother. Drew is the brother that everyone needs. Passionate and always wears his heart on his sleeve, but not afraid to tell you exactly how it is! Growing up him and I always pushed each other to be better at whatever we were doing. Sure, we tussled like most brothers do, but in doing so, he taught me accountability and integrity. He lives in Florida now, but I'm beyond grateful he will be sharing this special day with us all.

Reid is one of my longest and truest friends. We grew up just a few blocks apart and formed one of those friendships that is hard to come by. We lived together before and during college and have shared countless memories over the years. One of the most easy-going, funny, and intelligent people you'll ever meet. You want someone who can always light up a room, Reid is that guy. Beyond appreciative that he's standing with me on my wedding day.

Luke and I have been friends since grade school. Not many people threw on the waders to take on the treacherous Yahara river in search of trophy bass, but Luke and I loved it and spent countless hours fishing together. Friday night carpools to our football games, weekends in front of the TV, or weekends outdoors, he became one of my best friends. A friend who has a heart of gold and would do anything for the people he loves. I was honored to be a part of his wedding day and am thankful he is a part of ours.

Erik (Rick) and I became close friends in High School. In fact, I think I spent more weekends at his parents house than I did my own. From late night Call of Duty, to fishing, and everything in between, we did it together. I lived with Erik in Edgerton before I met Rochelle and we became closer than ever. Erik is the kind of person that has never said a bad word about anyone in his life. He defines the word kindness and always has a smile on his face! A true friend for life and looking forward to many years of good memories with him, his new fiancé Danica, and Rochelle!

Erik (Brooks) and I have been friends since we were kids. We played football and baseball together, and spent almost every weekend together getting into some kind of trouble. He left for the Marine's after high school, but after he came home, we re-connected like there was no time lost. Brooks is one of the most honest, easy-going friends someone could have. I was honored to stand by his side at his wedding, and couldn't be happier he's doing the same for me.
