Aysha and I became friends in 6th grade at Kekionga Middle School. Ever since meeting we have been like ying and yang sharing valuable memories and achieving goals together. We even have matching tattoos! She is apart of 'The Crew' (if you know you know). As I embark on this new journey, I need my bestie by my side and I know I can always count on Aysha. Love you Bestie!

Janoah and I became friends in 5th grade at Waynedale Elementary. She was a transfer student and I was just a shy girl. We found that we had many similar interest and a similar values. We have so many stories (that we can't tell) and memories together. She is apart of 'The Crew' (if you know you know) Always 'The Crew Before You!' Love ya NoNo

Kayla and I go WAYYY back. We actually used to live in the same neighborhood growing up! I meet her in the summer of Second grade and we ended up going to the same Elementary and Middle school! Kayla has been a childhood friend that has always been there for me. It's always a good time when Kayla is around! She is apart of The Crew (if you know you know) and that means we friends for life! Love you Kayboo!

Nashaly and I met in Highschool at New Tech. My first thoughts when speaking to her were "Omg, I might have met someone funnier than me". Nashaly is one of my most genuine friends that I have. More than that, she is also a friend that I can only recall moments of us dying in laughter together. Our bond will last a life time!

Gwendolyn and I met in highschool. She had just transferred to Wayne High School and was trying out for Volleyball the same year I was. Gwen is the sweetest girl and I know I am in for a good time when we hang out. She also was the one who introduced me to Nathan!

Breanna has known me since I was in diapers, because she's my cousin! My closest cousin in fact. We grew up together and were raised basically as siblings. Having her as one of my bridesmaids only makes sense. Having her apart this journey means the world to me.

Jenny and I met in college at IU! She was one of my 4 roommates (shout-out Apartment Squad!) Jenny and I have many memories together. A thing I value most about her is her advice that she gives! She was always able to talk some sense into me. I couldn't do this without you Jenny!

My Brother, my blood, my bestfriend. From practicing WWE moves on each other to being teammates in almost every sport we've ever played. He's been by my side throughout every important event in my life, I couldn't imagine having my big day without him by my side. There's a million things I could say, but brother to brother we both know what it is.

My homie since Weisser Park, although MPMS is where this friendship really took off. Endless lunchroom debates over our favorite rappers and ball players. From skinny teenagers who loved dark humor to grown men who can laugh and debate about anything. Definition of a day one friend.

A rare post high school relationship that started over a Kanye debate at his mom's house. Funny enough, Shawn has been one of the most loyal and honest homies I've ever had. Someone I can vent to, play video games with and just be myself. We're going on 8 years in a row in which we've watched the Super Bowl together. Hopefully that number gets to 30.

I've known Jo since the first grade. His mom was my 2nd grade teacher. This friendship goes back to when we were 7 years old. It's impossible to host a game night and not invite Jo. The ultimate people person and great friend. He's a hard-headed Ohio sports fan and I'm very biased Indiana sports fan, yet somehow this friendship has lasted the test of time.

I'll have to take you guys back to my days working at the Coliseum to appreciate this friendship. Always down for a good time. Homies at South Side but we become extremely close in adulthood. Another Ohio sport's fan that I'm surrounded by. Great person, better friend.

JB! I feel like I'm the only one who calls him that. Another South Side homie I became closer with post graduation. 5 years ago we would stay up until 2 in the morning playing Monopoly, Spades and philosophizing about life's wonders. The simpler times were the best times.

The reason I started going by 'Nate T' at South Side. Freshman year word got around there were two tall mixed freshman who played sports, funny enough both named Nate. By graduation he was known as Braster and I was know as Nate T. This friendship has been going on over a decade and I hope to add 3 more decades to it.
