My Sister. My maid of honor and the person who I have looked up to since I was a little girl. Even though we drove to school for a year in high school and she spoke to me one time, here we are now! Getting to have her inimmySt. Louis with me, even for a short time was so special and fun. Now she is in Vegas but thank God for phones and Facetime! I am honored to have her as my sister and my maid of honor :)

My brother Matt was the first friend I every had. From the beginning he was stuck with me, Matt is most well known for his terrible dad jokes that started around age 19. Matt has so many positive attributes that made him an amazing brother/friend and i am honored to have him as my best man

My cousin Shauna. She may be younger than me, but shes always been much, much taller than me! I am so lucky to be so close to my family and have her stand up at my wedding :)

How did me and Luke become friends? Honestly, we both have no idea where or how we got to know each other. Luke's most distinctive quality is not being able to keep his balance when drunk, hopefully not the case at the wedding(but probably). Luke's outgoing and caring personality makes him impossible not to get along with, which is probably why how he ended up friends with me.

Brendan is a bar tender, his talent is making drinks that taste like they have no alcohol in them. I'm pretty sure this is what led to my down fall during my going away party. Brendan was the mastermind behind the group of friends in high school, somehow rallying all the troops together to actually make plans. We are coming up on 10 years of friendship now which says a lot, honored to have him stand with me.

A Best Friend. A fun fact about Carly and I.. our mothers were pregnant at the same time, and so it was meant to be before we were even born. I think that gave us some special bond that just never went away. We have been best friends for as long as I can remember. She is a staple in my life always, and I wouldn't want anyone else to be by my side on my wedding.

A best friend. Courtney is the best person, but the worst influence when it comes to shopping. She always says "buy it!" Courtney, like me, also cant ever turn down the opportunity to get drinks and apps and go to happy hour. We have this amazing bond, and I am lucky to have her standing by my side on the most special day of my life.

Alex is a Mizzou crew member. He most impressive quality is his ability to peer pressure anyone into taking a shot(it's seriously amazing). It's an open bar so go wild dude. I got to know Alex through ROTC, he ability to always have a positive attitude made us good friends and eventually roommates. Couldn't be more excited to have him stand up at my wedding.

A Best Friend. Syd is, and forever will be the blonde to my brunette (even if we're constantly swapping whose blonde and whose brunette). I met her playing basketball at age 9 and we have been inseparable ever since. Syd is the funniest person I have ever met and could write a best selling novel based on all the hilarious things that have happened in her life. Fun Fact: People used to think my screen name Sloanesydney was because we were so close..but its just my middle name! I couldn't even fathom getting married without Syd by my side.

Aaron is another member of the Mizzou crew that I meant through ROTC. Fun fact about Arron -- I kid you not, he has a legit Harry Potter wand. If me and Alex would have known this prior we probably wouldn't have let him move in with us. On a serious note, Aaron is one of the best guys I know and would never hesitate to go out of his way to help others and I can't wait to have him stand with me on my wedding day.

Jimmy is part of the Mizzou crew, most famously known for his alcoholic "lethal juice"(patent pending), which isn't much considering its just vodka and Gatorade. In case you're wondering, yes, the lethal juice had a very negative affect on his GPA. But joking aside, I meant Jimmy junior year of college and I never have become just close friends with someone over such a short amount of time. He's outgoing and electric personality is one of a kind and i'm honored to have him stand up at my wedding.

A Best Friend. Natalie is one of my longest friends I have ever had. Since middle school we have had this amazing friendship where we always have fun and have a laugh (and a drink!) I am still sorry about what happened to Natalie the first time I went to visit her in college ;) but here we are today! I am honored to have her standing next to me on my big day.

A Best Friend. Marnie and I have had some of the craziest times together. I have this memory of her and I on Facetime freshman year of college and telling her there is this guy who I really liked so much (it was Steven!) We have been through so many different stages of life together (Camp, to college, to St. Louis). I wouldn't have it any other way. I cant wait to have her standing by me on my wedding day.

If Adam is ever dosing off he is probably solving string theory in his head or rattling off the first 100 digits of Pi for fun. Me and Adam meant in high school and became close friends during our time running cross country together. Most all of the memorable moments from high school I have involve this guy and i'm honored to have him stand at my wedding.

Future Sister In Law/ Friend. Kirsten is 1/3 of the Sahd triplets. I am so lucky to have someone as nice and fun as Kirsten to call my sister-in law forever! Getting to know her these past 5 years have been such a treat and I can't wait to officially be apart of the family. Excited to have her by my side as I marry her brother!

Future Sister In Law/ Friend. Jaclyn is 1/3 of the Sahd triplets. I am so excited to be able to call her my sister-in-law as of July 18th. Over they last 5 years I have spent tons of time with Jaclyn and since day 1 she has made me feel like part of the family. Excited to have her by my side as I marry her brother!
