Sylvie is my wonderful little sister. From the moment we met, we were instantly close. Sylvie was always my loudest fan during hockey games and is still my cheerleader. There's nothing sweeter than a sister.

Sarah is my oldest friend. We became friends in middle school, as the only girls in Brazilian jiu-jitsu class. Sarah always gives the best advice and crafting inspiration. No matter how far apart we live, our bond stays strong.

Stephanie worked with me in the Wisconsin Legislature, working in the same office for 2.5 years. When there were slow days in the office, we were never bored because we had each other. Stephanie brings joy and positivity with her wherever she goes.

Talaidh and I became friends during our time abroad studying in Aix-en-Provence, France. We traveled together, drank lots of wine, and were running buddies. Talaidh knows how to live life to the fullest and has taught me how to do movie star makeup.

Abigail and I became friends during our time abroad studying in France. We spent many nights playing Catan and eating baguettes. Abigail once planned a trip for our friend group to go to Rome, and found the best deals. Abigail is a master planner and incredibly kind.

Jessica and I were roommates during our year abroad. Jessica was a wonderful roommate and is a great friend. We have had many great adventures together, like visiting poppy fields (pictured above). Jessica is very caring, and I am always happy when we are together.

Elana and I became friends in Madison after college, where we would often go to markets and thrift together. Elana is full of life and is a great travel partner. We became closer on trips together to Hawaii and New Jersey.

Cayman is the first friend I made when I moved to UW-Madison. We quickly bonded over music, TV and late-night walks along the lake. He has known Savanna and I our entire relationship and has been there at key moments along our journey. There is nobody we trust more to marry us!

We did not always get along as kids, but our relationship has grown stronger as we've grown older. I know that Josh will always be there for me, and I will always be there for my little brother. A1 from Day 1.

Johnny is a loving and caring person. He knows the importance of family and I've been lucky to have him as my older brother.

Blake lived next to me in the dorm and was a Vikings fan, so naturally we were instant friends. He is easy to talk to and the more we got to know each other the more we discovered we had in common. I'll always be grateful for the many heart-to-heart moments we shared together.

Jimmie is my brother from another mother, and I remember how excited I would always be when he pulled up to the family function. He definitely influenced some of my interests growing up including sports, anime and video games. Since I've moved back to MN our bond has become even tighter.

Everyone needs someone in their life that will push them past their comfort zone so they can grow and learn from their mistakes. Whether it was at football practice or mandir Rickey has helped me become my best self by encouraging me and always having my back.

Aron is my best friend from school growing up. There was once a time we were the same height playing basketball together, but that did not last long. Every time I get to see Aron again, I know we are going to have an amazing time and will probably stay up all night talking about life.

Henry and I have known each other since elementary school but our friendship really grew in the later years of High School. We had just about every class together senior year and when I found out he was also going to attend UW-Madison, I asked him to be roommates our freshmen year at college. This turned out to be one of the greatest decisions I've made because we turned into best friends after that!
