Maggie was forced into friendship on April 13th, 1993 when Sam was born. Since then, she's shuttled him around to golf tournaments and baseball games, snuck him into his first ever bar, and blamed him whenever the dishes weren't done at home. They've been as close as siblings can be and Maggie has been there for Sam every step of the way.

Spanky, as he's affectionately known, stumbled into Sam's life as an annoying fraternity pledge in 2012. Sam took him under his wing and helped turn Spanky into the man he is today

Ben and Sam became friends at CU, where they would eventually become roommates their junior year. The two of them lived in a tiny room at their frat house (they had two TVs, no big deal) and somehow lived to tell the tale. A quote from Ben: "I've seen Sam naked more times than I'd like to admit."

Seb and Sam became friends in Boulder, when they were fraternity brothers (common theme here). While they no longer play intramural hockey and drink keystone light, they still find time to visit each other and go on ski trips!

Lindsey is Samantha's sister. As the younger sister, Samantha has always looked up to Lindsey and followed in her footsteps. It's only fitting that she would be getting married just 8 months after Lindsey. Samantha admires Lindsey's intelligence, humor, and strength but what she values most is the incredible mother Lindsey is to her niece, Mila. As her confidante, sister, and best friend, Samantha cannot imagine life without her.

Mary is the Richard Lewis to Samantha's Larry David. They love to banter and are always giving each other grief. Mary is also one of Samantha's dearest friends. Their friendship is one of love, support, and encouragement. Whether they are tearing up the town or catching up on the couch, they have so much fun together. For Samantha, life without Mary just wouldn't be enough.

Lisa is Samantha's sister from another mister (literally). Samantha feels lucky that her brother married such a cool human. They connect on a deep level and obsess over Jason and Lisa's son, Teddy. Lisa is an amazing mother and Samantha feels lucky to have her as an example. She also loves to tease and make fun of Samantha so they share a lot of good laughs. Samantha is so happy to have Lisa by her side during one of the most special times in her life.

Samantha and Jill, both raised in the East Millcreek neighborhood, initially connected through Samantha's sister. However, Jill quickly transitioned from being a friend of Samantha's sister to someone Samantha claimed as her own.The duo has shared adventures across many states, from running a 5k on just 3 hours of sleep after a night of laughter to completing a half marathon a few years later with a full night's rest. Jill, along with her husband Paul, is the couple Sam and Sam spend the most time with, cherishing every moment. Describing Jill as merely a friend falls short—she is family!

Samantha's childhood is filled with countless memories of her cousin Trina. Trina has been by Samantha's side from the very beginning, starting with family parties, trips, and sleepovers. They were always begging their parents for a sleepover. Although they see each other less frequently now, every moment spent together is cherished. Trina is grounded, kind, and incredibly fun, just to scratch the surface. She's not just a friend; she's family, and Samantha feels incredibly fortunate to have her by her side, especially during this significant time.

Lindsey and Samantha's friendship traces back to 2012, beginning with some wild adventures during their younger years.

Whether celebrating joyous moments or offering words of wisdom and support during challenging times, Lindsey has become an indispensable presence. Lindsey will remain a friend for the years ahead, and Samantha is so happy to have her by her side.
