I met Arielle when I moved to Marcellus my freshman year of high school. Since then, our friendship has grown and she is more than just my best friend, she is my family. There have been many laughs, tears, smiles, and adventures together. I know I can always count on her (even when an animal "supposedly" is in the camper). There is no one else that I would want to be my Maid of Honor.

I first met Adam 25 years ago, initially he was not as pleased to have me around compared to others. However, after a little time we warmed up to each other. Adam is my older brother, he has always been there for me when needed for advice or encouragement. He has always been there to cheer me up, challenge me to be better, pick on me, and embarrass me throughout my life (which I like to think built character). There is nobody else that I would have as my best man than him.

During the pandemic in 2020 I started working at Meijer. This is where I met Amy. Her and I worked together as cashiers and dealt with the craziness that came along with the job, which allowed us to learn more about one another and became close friends. It is a special thing when a coworker can turn into such an amazing friend. Amy and I have some really fun times such as going down to Florida for a week and trying to take her cat for a walk. I am happy to have her be my bridesmaid and help celebrate this day with me.

James is one of my closest friends. We first met when I had moved to Michigan in 7th grade. Both of us ended up going to Michigan State together years later which cemented our friendship even more as we got to experience a large university (and probably had too much fun) together. We have worked, traveled, had fun, grown, and gone through difficult times together. James has never been anything less than a truly amazing friend and there was never a doubt that he would be my Groomsman.
