Brittany is my first cousin and has been my BFF since I was born. Since I never had siblings, she was the closest thing I had to a sister growing up. And boyyyyy did we act like sisters. She would stick her finger in my mouth when I was an infant for me to bite, only to later go and tattle on me for doing so. I would try to hangout with her and all her cool, older friends. The older we’ve got, the less we’ve gotten into tiffs, and the stronger our relationship has become. Even though we don’t live down the road anymore, I can always count on Britt to be there for me, which is why she is the perfect person to be my matron of honor.

Kaitlyn and I met back during our high school days. We were in the same advisory class, and, if you could believe it, didn’t get along the best the first few months of school. Once competitive cheerleading season rolled around and we were forced to spend more time with each other, we realized the other one wasn’t so bad after all, and realized we actually got along really well. Kaitlyn takes on the “youngest child” syndrome perfectly, and is definitely my most wild friend… even though that had to be hidden a bit when we were younger! She’s an amazing person and I could not imagine this day without her by my side.

Oh boy, how do I even start with Erica? We did gymnastics together, and the first day we met, she accidentally smacked me in the face, and that’s the moment we knew we’d be best friends for the rest of our adult lives. Erica is one of those friends that no matter how long we don’t see each other or talk, when we do reconnect it’s like nothing’s every changed. She is hysterical and caring, even if she most likely won’t give you a hug. Regardless, I can’t imagine my day without this gal either.

Last but not least, Anna. Her and I were randomly paired up as roommates our freshman year of college at Marist. After just a few short days, we realized we are basically the same person in two different bodies and quickly knew we had to stick by each other’s sides. After a tumultuous year in which we both decided to transfer colleges, and moving across the country, Anna and I remain close and are definitely besties for the resties. Of course, I couldn’t imagine this day without her standing up there with me.
