Liz and I became instant best friends in college. I was transferring into NIU and we had mutual friends who introduced us. Little did we know, we would live together throughout the remaining years of college and become best friends. She is one special person. Everyone needs a Liz in their life! Fun Fact - Liz is also getting married in 2024! We are each others Maid of Honor. What a special time to share with each other! Liz, I love you dearly. Thank you for standing with me on my day. I cannot wait to return the honor and stand by your side in September.

When Mike introduced me to his family, I immediately felt at home. Rita welcomed me with open arms and we quickly became great friends. In the beginning of Mike and I's relationship, I always looked forward to Family time because that meant I got to see Rita! If you do not know, Rita and I stay laughing together. Now, 8 years later, I have another best friend and soon to be sister-in-law. Thank you for standing with me on your brothers day! I love you, Rita!
