Amanda and I share an extra special bond. Amanda and I first met when I was less than a week old. She thought I was a puppy and pet me/slapped me on the head. Amanda is my closest cousin and was like the sister I always wanted growing up. Ever since we were little girls, we knew one day we would get married and be each other's maids of honor. I was beyond excited when she asked me to be her maid of honor and am so happy she will be my matron of honor. It's too bad we never got to have that double wedding we always joked about as kids...maybe a double vow renewal? ;)

Julian and Alex first met at Bishop Moore Catholic High School in Winter Park, FL. They both played football, helped each other through everything from workouts to school work, and became great friends throughout high school. They kept a pre-game ritual during football game days where both always went to Chick-Fil-A after school and listened to the same music playlist to get ready before the games. Julian and Alex helped each other through difficult times in high school and could rely on each other for anything. Despite going separate ways during college, they always stayed in touch and are now both back in Central Florida again.

Alex and Rob became friends during their first year of law school at Stetson University College of Law in St. Petersburg, FL. They quickly bonded over their interests in playing golf and playing on the same softball team, business, and even old school hip hop. They had all the same classes together and would hangout for hours each day in-between classes, helped each other get through difficult parts of each course, and became great friends over the year. One especially memorable event they had was recording a video for contracts class, where they made an old-school style rap to various contract law cases and the professor still uses it as an example to his contracts classes today.

Kate and I met in college and she was the person who taught me that being in a sorority creates a very special bond between sisters. Kate is full of hope and always puts her faith in those she loves. She was kind enough to not only choose to be my Tri Sigma big sister, but also my confirmation sponsor and always reminds me to never give up on my faith and religion. I am so blessed to know this beautiful woman.

Lauren is sweet as pie. This girl shines bright like a star. She is always positive and has great energy. She can be a little sassy, just like me and she is a take charge kind of girl. Lauren and I met at Disney Cruise Line as Cruise Vacation Planners and quickly learned how much we had in common. Just like me, Lauren is honest, fun, a little wacky at times, and full of color and life. I am so thrilled we met!

Fletcher and Alex met through Sigma Pi Fraternity when Fletcher was pledging the fraternity. Alex and Fletcher got along very well through their mutual interests in country music, golf, politics, sports, FSU football, etc. They remain good friends today because both live in Tallahassee where Fletcher is a commercial real estate broker and Alex attends FSU College of Law. They still enjoy going to FSU football and baseball games and golfing when they can.

Alex and Jack met at Florida State University when Jack went through the fraternity Rush Week process. Alex was already a brother of Sigma Pi, and him and Jack connected and became friends before Jack decided to pledge Sigma Pi. Alex became Jack's big brother in the fraternity and helped him get through the pledging process. After becoming a brother in the fraternity, Jack and Alex ended up living together in adjacent bedrooms on the same floor in the fraternity house. They would regularly go golfing at Seminole Golf Course, went on spring break trips, and went to all FSU football games each year.

Bibbidi bobbidi I do! Rachel is the Fairy Godmother in my Cinderella story. Rachel and I met at Disney Cruise Line while working together as Cruise Vacation Planners. We instantly clicked over our love of Disney and became great friends. Rachel spent countless hours helping Alex plan my dream come true proposal. She is so generous and I couldn't adore her more.
