Nate has been a part of my life since he was born. We both love science and tell each other science-y anecdotes

Brett and I have been best friends since kindergarten.

Savanna has been in my life since the day I was born. When we were little, we were inseparable. We had endless amounts of sleep overs, games of “house” and “teacher”. We have grown into being nearly as opposite as they come, but our bond has just gotten stronger. Savanna has been present for every big moment in my life and seen me in the good moments, the bad moments, and everything in between! I couldn’t imagine having anyone else as my maid of honor for our special day.

Carol and I have been great friends since Herkimer High's production of Grease.

I cannot express in words how excited little me was to become a big sister. It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows like I thought it would be. It came with wrestling, arguing, competitiveness, and more. However, it also came with a supporter, partner, someone to play with, my own personal baby doll, and most importantly, a built in friend. I love little Zacky Poo so much and if I could go back and assure my young self that being a big sister is exactly what I hoped it would be, I would do that in a second. I am glad to have my not-so-little brother Zac in our wedding!

While I knew who Jonah was in elementary school, it was 8th grade when Jonah and I became friends. Ironically at the time, he was best friends with my “boyfriend”. When I think of Jonah, I think of my best friend who has grown up in front of me! He is still a big goofball who picks on me like a brother, but I know that Jonah will forever have my back (even though sometimes I think he loves Zack more than me haha). Cheers to more mayhem and fun tattoos. I can’t wait to see Jonah break out the dad dance moves and I am proud to have him standing with us at our wedding!

Grace Huether and I started dancing together when we were 3 years old and became closer when we got to high school. I will forever say that no one is good enough for Grace Huether because it is true! She is the smartest, kindest, and most humble person you will ever meet. Grace always has my back and gives the best advice. I can’t wait to take the dance floor again with her and have her with me at our wedding!

I don't know exactly when Nick and I became friends, but by the time middle school rolled around, we were thick as thieves

I didn’t know this for the first few years of our friendship, but Becca didn’t like me in middle school. Then came 9th grade when we were in the same English class. It didn’t take long before Becca became my partner in crime and Alto buddy for life. Becca always makes life fun and would do anything to defend the people she cares about. She is funny and fierce which I love so much about her. I’m so glad she decided that I wasn’t that bad, haha! I’m so happy to have Becca in our wedding!

Jackson and I first interacted in 7th grade English class where he sat behind me and I sat in front of him. From there, our friendship continued to build. Jackson and I have grown up together and share a love for so many of the same things! I know that he is someone I can always count on. After being his wedding date and reality tv watching bestie, I couldn’t imagine not having him included in our wedding!

Anna is my longest standing friend who is not connected to me by blood. We met in daisy scouts when we were 5! We have had countless sleepovers, dance performances for our families, shared birthday celebrations, inside jokes, and cringy moments that are all part of growing up. We have grown up together and both become teachers which I couldn’t imagine doing with anyone else. I can’t wait to continue to grow with Anna, and have her be part of our big day!

Keegan was the first friend I made in college and still one of the best friends I have

Abby has been my sister for her whole life, and I am very happy to have her as a Rochester buddy.

When Grace Hunt and I became friends it was in 6th grade surround sound where she offered me some of her lotion. Since then, I could not imagine not having her in my life. She has been there for every relationship, multiple breakdowns, and most entertaining conversations. It is never boring with Grace, and even when she is out of the country, I know I can always count on her. We got “married” in 8th grade S.S. class and I couldn’t imagine not having my first “hubby” with me on our wedding day!

Jilly has been my sister since she was born. We are scarily similar to each other

My cousin Tommy is one of the most funny and charismatic kids I know. Naturally, he has to steal the show as ring man!

My cousin Sophie is such a cutie! I knew she would be the best little flower girl.

Big Nate has a special place in our hearts, and we can't think of anyone we'd rather have officiate our wedding
