My built in best friend, sweet sister, and biggest cheerleader! Tilly and I grew up practically as twins since we are only 17 months apart. Thankfully our interests went in complete opposite directions. This meant that she could cheer me on as an athlete and I could cheer her on as a thespian. She has always been my biggest supporter; encouraging me to chase my dreams and adventure as much as possible. We never had to compete with each other, and I am so thankful that we have developed a deep friendship rooted in so much love and grace and the occasional (playful) roast. She has taught me so much over the years about grace, compassion, friendship, communication, and love. Tilly is the definition of a true friend; I just got lucky in the sister department. There is no one else on Earth I would have stand next to me as Jeffery and I step into this new and exciting adventure together.

Stokes and I met on The World Race in 2019. While our versions of meeting are a bit different depending on who you ask, our friendship grew into a sisterhood. Throughout the 10 month adventure, Stokes and I were only separated a total of 3 days. We lived in tough situations, shared beds, laughed, cried, and everything in between. She has walked with me in the most broken moments of life and she has rooted for and encouraged me during the high points of life. She is one of the most genuine, fun, kind, honest, generous people I know. I feel honored to have her by my side as she truly knows Jeffery and me, and I know she will continue to love and encourage us in marriage!

Kelsey and I met on the World Race in 2019. Our friendship didn't develop until later on, but we have remained close through it all. She has quickly become family! She is the person you could call when you need someone, the person that always shows up, and the person that values relationship over all other things. Kels is truly thoughtful, genuine, funny, honest, and bold. She is my cheerleader, my friend, my prayer warrior, my secret keeper, my party planner, and my accountability. She knows Jeffery and me well, and I am confident she will continue to encourage and support us in this adventure and every adventure that follows!

Nicholas is my younger brother, and we have known each other for our whole lives. He has been my friend and closest combatant since I can remember. Even though he is my younger brother, I have always looked up to him for his wisdom, encouragement, and his drive to live the best Christian life possible. He knows Tess from the world race, and has developed a friendship with her throughout his time knowing her. We wanted him to officiate because he is close to our hearts, and he knows us well.

Garrett is my best friend, and I could not have survived school or anything after that without him. He has invested in my life and wellbeing, and he is someone I will strive to keep in my life as long as God gives us time. No matter what the context of our conversation or our visits, we always seem to talk about the Lord and how good He is. He truly deserves the honor of being my Best Man.

Logan is my youngest brother, and he and I have so much in common despite our age difference. He is such a pleasant person to be around, extremely funny, and highly intelligent. My time spent with him is never wasted or regretted, and whether we are chilling watching cartoons, or studying God's word, we enjoy each other's company. I am so glad he is a part of our big day.

Kyle and I met in high school and have been close friends ever since we roomed together for our freshman year of college. He is a true athlete, a hard worker, and a hilarious comedian. His honest and straightforward attitude have not only helped me grow and be more decisive, but have given me an example of how I persevere to conduct myself. I am very excited to have him stand by my side during our wedding.
