Sarah and I grew up in the same private Christian school for the majority of our childhood up to the point of graduation. I knew of her for quite some time before we had become proper friends. The very beginnings of our friendship started with us being locker neighbors in girls P.E.. (Sarah was in the 6th grade and I was in the 7th). Our introverted natures and numerous commonalities made easy work of our sense of kinship and closeness. We are both only-children determined to be friends for life no matter the distance or circumstances. As such It was no surprise when we made the pact of being each other’s maids of honor. I’m proud to say that our agreement has long stood not from a sense of promise fulfillment, but from a sense of love, loyalty, and sisterhood with truly one of best people I have ever had the honor to know.

I am a friend of Ryan and Sarah I met them at Azusa Pacific University our freshmen year. I have been Ryan's friend for gaming and all things nerdy. Sarah and I talk cars, life, and everything in between. I helped them get to know each other and kept their friendship together at the start of their relationship. Through the covid times we kept each other sane and happy and have stayed in touch. A note from Ryan: I owe the credit of this marriage to Michael. I would have never hung out with Sarah as much as I did without his encouragement.

Sarah and I were roommates during college. We developed a close friendship and have done our best to stay in touch since graduating.
