Taylor is my technically my cousin, but doubles as my sister and lifelong best friend. She knows me like no other and we've been so fortunate enough to feel like every phase of life we go through, we go through it together despite being two-ish years apart in age. And we get to be in our bridal era together, too, which is just so fitting. My best friend, person, rock, my Maid of Honor!!!

My big cousin who has always been more like a big sister to me throughout my whole life. From Glee concerts to vent sessions over the years, Melissa's been by my side through it all. It only makes sense she's my Matron of Honor, adding to the long list of my favorite memories with her.

My cousin, my Nik Nik, she has always been more of a sister to me than a cousin and always will be. If Nicole is in the room, it's bright. She's making everyone laugh and smile and I am so lucky to have her as my cousin, yes, but one of my forever best friends. From voicenote debriefs to inside jokes that only cousins would ever understand, it's such a privilege to have Nik Nik in my life.

One of my longest friendships: through middle school, high school, to be coming college roommates and being by each others side through it all. Tara has seen me through every phase of friendship and life and watched with a front row seat to the beginning's of Matt & I's relationship. Beyond blessed to have a forever friend like her. (And our husbands are best friends just like we're best friends!!! How cool is that!!!!)

Josie and I have been friends since middle school, and our friendship has only grown stronger. Our memories are full of FaceTimes and belly laughs and the stupidest jokes that we only find funny. From a shared notes app on our phone of our own language to being there for each other through everything, Josie is a once in a lifetime friend that I am so blessed to have by my side.

Abby and I met working together at Drive in 2023. She was the first person to come up and greet me, giving me a hug, which she says herself was "so out of character for her." It's like the world knew we were meant to be best friends; she's one of those friendships I didn't know my life was missing until she was there. So grateful for her and all of our memories, laughs, and am so blessed to have her by my side on this special day.

No matter how much time goes by, Kirsten & I's friendship remains strong. It's like no time passes at all. Kirsten and I have been best friends since high school in theatre where we spent every day after school at my house, watching twenty one pilots videos or writing songs together. She's seen me through it all and knows me like no one else, and I am so grateful to have her by my side through life and on this big day. The Tyler to my Josh, the Nev to my Max, forever and always!
