If you know Liz, you know that even one photo is EXTREMELY rare because finding a picture of her is not an easy feat (as she's normally the one behind the camera). So to have TWO photos together - I feel truly blessed.

No but seriously, I am honored to have my older sister/ate Liz, someone who's been through it alll with me from growing up together in Virginia Beach, being weird all the time together, having little inside jokes, to being able to communicate in the same room with just a look. So lucky to have her stand by my side for my wedding day.

I met CM through a mutual bestie, Anaise (who you'll see next on this list), and we all instantly connected. We initially bonded over being young, wild, & free and the woes of working in the restaurant industry through our formative years.

Our lives literallyyy felt like a movie through all of the crazy shenanigans we went through. And somehow we made it out transitioning literally from bar hopping to book clubbing as best friends. Ultimately, I'm SO so glad to still have this beautiful soul in my life nearly a decade later.

Truly cannot fathom going through the last ten years of my life without the one, the only: Anaise (Ana). My college roommate (who became so much more than that), my sister.

My memories would literally be incomplete without Ana dragging me out every weekend lecturing me on how "we will never be this young again, seize the moment," and I always listened to her, reluctantly. But now that we're older (and I'm getting married), I see that she was so right. SO thankful she made me get out of my homebody ways and enjoy my youth alongside my best friend.

I met Maelyn in highschool and we ended up becoming really close --she even took me to my very first broadway show! While I would LOVE to give you an amazing bio of her, of course, being the superior Virgo, she has already provided me with one so good I have to use it.

In her own words, "I met Sara when I moved to Covina during our freshman year of high school. Being the new kid was less daunting when I met her and I consider Sara to be one of my very first friends at South Hills High School. She was wayyyy cooler than me and I was her geeky theater friend but we always made time to support each other either online (via livejournal) or at school. We eventually went to junior college (Citrus College) together and I have fond memories of being stupid with our friend group in the library, countless hours roaming malls, and getting lunch."

The back story of this being ^

1. I definitely was not cooler than her, she literally has the singing voice of an angel

2. FOR SOME REASON, both her and Abby believe I went to Citrus college together and I really have no recollection of taking any classes there (s/o MT SAC). (like I remember initially registering to dual-enroll but not actually taking a class?) which leads me to our next bridesmaid..

Abigail (Abby), the light of my life. Abby and I became close in high school and college, through bonding over our disneyland pass days (RIP affordable pass prices), and then reconnected again recently in the past couple of years.

We started hanging out with Maelyn, the three of us going out again together to brunch, to bars, and hosting euphoria watching parties. For as long as I've known Abby she's always been such a sweet, happy spirit and I'm so glad she's one of my bridesmaids.

Mary and I started hanging out in recent years and actually met IRL due to Instagram. We had actually followed and supported each other for YEARS online before actually meeting, and then thankfully one day Mary asked me to meet up and grab a coffee.

We went to downtown Pasadena and just clicked and became fast friends (we actually went to Revolve Festival together and she stayed over my parents house I feel like within maybe 1-2 months of meeting each other in person lol so guess you can say she met the parents already!) Mary has the sweetest soul and I feel lucky to have become close with her and have her in my life.

Funny story, I actually met Diana (Dee) a couple years ago because I was best friends with her younger sister, Victoria Lee (whom I still love dearly). Over the years we re-connected when I started dating Reggie, as she was just about to marry Joey! Crazy how time flies. We actually had one of our first dates and kiss at their wedding!

I still remember how honored I felt that both Dee & Joey let me come to their wedding so last minute, and ever since that moment it has just felt like they both welcomed me with open arms from the beginning. So blessed to have Diana in my life, like family.
