Charlotte is my little sister. Before going on my first date with Teddy, she helped me decide what to wear and calmed my nerves. She has always been the #1 fan of our relationship, so it means the world to me to have her by my side on our wedding day!

Eileen is my youngest sister. Despite being 5 years apart in age, we have always had similar interests. She constantly makes me laugh with her witty sense of humor and spot-on impressions. She just gets me!

Gillian is my cousin. Growing up, she was the leader of our cousin squad, which we named "The Thrilling Three". We share so many memories together, like playing “city”, putting on plays, and visiting Door County. I have always had fun with her and I know there is plenty of fun to be had in our future!

Tessa is my cousin. We have been friends since we were little, and I’m lucky to have spent even more time with her recently, because she also attended the University of Minnesota. While we no longer create dance routines in her basement, I know we'll be tearing up the dance floor at the wedding!

Leo is my youngest brother. Although he can be a rascal sometimes, he carries more positive, hopeful energy than anyone I know. I fully expect Leo to show us his extraordinary "break" dancing moves on the dance floor, his classic being "The Worm". Hopefully this time he doesn't actually break something...

Peyton has been a close friend since middle school, ever since we played lacrosse together, and we were roommates throughout college. I admire Peytons inclusivity and passion. I've learned from college parties and trips across the U.S. with him that one of his main goals is to practice carpe diem.

Connor has been my best friend since elementary school and we were roommates throughout college. Ever since our first time hanging out, we have never had a shortage of laughter between us. Shared trips snowboarding, to cabins, and to the Rockies have only reinforced our strong friendship. If you need a partner in crime at the wedding, I'd suggest talking to this guy.

John has been a close friend since elementary school. The day I decided to pick John to be a groomsman, before I had told him, he portrayed his warmth and compassion to others by hand delivering an engagement gift to Sophia and I. From late night hangouts in middle school and playing football with the guys, his zany humor has always brought a smile to my face.
