1/2 of my asian persuasion, my best friend, soul mate and mac to my cheese. Tara and I have been thru all walks of life together. She has always been my voice of reason but also along for any ride or adventure as I have been for her. I stood next to her on her beautiful wedding day and I couldn't imagine my day without her.

Some sisters fight like cats and dogs and don't get me wrong Tori and I have had our moments but now I am lucky enough to consider her one of my best friends. Not a day goes by where we don't talk and not very many where we don't see each other. In a sister is a best friend for life and I am lucky to have the best even as polar opposite as we may be.

The other 1/2 to my asian persuasion. Jamy and I have been friends for over 20 years and we have never let distance come between us. Jamy always keeps me laughing, has a beautiful heart and has always been a constant in my life. She helped make my engagement the best night ever and I am so lucky she has agreed to stand by my side on my special day.

My longest and one of my dearest friends. You name it, Katelynn and I have been there for each other through it. We have the friendship that doesn't have to be present physically 24/7 to know that we will always be there when needed. She's always had my back and celebrates my wins and grieved my losses as I have been with her. Thank goodness for FB in college bringing us back together because I couldn't imagine navigating life without her.

I consider myself lucky to have a friend like Jenna. She's there to lend a listening ear or get me out of the house to get my mind off things. She's also always there to celebrate the wins and celebrations as well. Like not only flying to Vegas for our engagement but making sure others could come too. She has proven to be a wonderful friend to not only me but Kyle as well. Jenna never fails to make me laugh and is always bringing me up in any way possible.

Everyone needs an everything friend. Ashley is my everything friend. The one who I can sit on the couch for hours with barely saying a word or call with good or bad news. She understands the career I am in and how I can love it one day and be ready to pull my hair out the next but not trade it for anything. She always has my back and would go to battle for me if needed and same for her. The one who gives it to me real but supports me no matter what. I can't imagine my big day without her by my side.

They say sometimes you meet some of your best friends in adulthood. That is Ashley. We may not have years and years invested into our friendship but it doesn’t take away from the quality and depth of our friendship. We have lived together, worked together and been thru the good the bad and the ugly. I’ll always appreciate our honesty with each other and that she has taught me the value in a good deal and thrifting my way through life.

Ashley’s daughter Laken my spunky little niece will be our flower girl.

Our sweet little nephew Leo Reginald will be our ring bearer.

Leila B my sassy, smart and beautiful niece will be our jr bridesmaid. She brings all the sass to the party. She’s an amazing dancer, great big/little sister and one of my favorite little girls around. We can’t wait to have her a part of our special day.

Kyle’s oldest Kellen is 9 years old and is a sports loving, Fortnite champion, family loving kid. Best big brother around and always helpful to those around. Wouldn’t be our special day without him there.

Jayden is Kyle’s other son and is 7 years old. He never fails to have us laughing and is the sweetest boy. He loves sports, beating Fortnite with his brother and spending time with family. He completes our family and we can’t wait to celebrate us all becoming a family.
