Jessica is my cousin, but has always been more like a sister to me. Our sister-like bond began in 1989, when she was born and I was less than a year old. We have a picture of me holding her at this age and I guess you could say that's where it all began. From the time we were babies going to the same baby-sitter all the way into college, we were literally inseparable. We played on the same sports teams, went on all family vacations together, played barbies until 3AM any time we had a sleepover as kids, and even had our own language! We pretty much lived in what our family called "Jessica and Tracey's own little world" any time we were together. During college, I moved to San Diego and now Jess lives with her fiance in Alabama. The best part about our relationship is that even when distance has separated us by many miles and our busy lives make it impossible to talk every day, once we do talk or get together, it's like nothing ever changed and we're right back to being "in our own little world" again. I guess it's no surprise that we're now both engaged at the same time! It's just like we always played in our Barbie games! ;) She always has been and forever will be my best friend and my "Beebob" and I'm so blessed to have her stand by my side on my Big Day as my Maid of Honor.

My mom and I have always been really close and I truly consider her to be one of my best friends. I can't even begin to describe the vital role she's played in my life. Although "mother of the bride" is obviously a very special role to be in, I've always imagined her having an even bigger role in my wedding. I'm so incredibly blessed to call her my mom and for the relationship that we have, so having her as my Matron of Honor is incredibly special to me.

My sister, my "soul sister," my person. Sarah is one of the best big sisters a girl could ever ask or hope for, and I'm not exaggerating even a little bit! From barbie doll games, mac&cheese and First Wives Club movie days, to help with college papers and 3AM phone calls when I needed her most, she has ALWAYS been there and will always be one of my best friends. I can't imagine this day without her up there by my side!

Amers is equally one of (they are identical twins!) the best big sisters a girl could ever ask, hope, or imagine for! Just like with Sarah, Amy and I share our own cherished memories growing up. And now, even when life gets crazy busy and we go way too long without talking on the phone, once I'm with her, we can talk for hours about anything and everything. There's a spiritual connection between us that's never changed and that I am so incredibly blessed by and thankful for. Both my sisters will be traveling from AZ to be by my side when I say "I Do!"

Stacey is Tyler's sister and my soon-to-be sister too! I met her a few years ago while all celebrating Dan Shapiro's birthday (thanks Dan), right before Tyler and I started dating. I remember her asking me that night if I was interested in her brother and telling me that I was his type... I think she must've noticed the two of us flirting that night. ;) Since then, I've gotten to know the genuine, fun, and all-around amazing person that she is. I'm excited for more vacations together in the future because we all have so much fun together! Tyler and I couldn't imagine this day without her up there with us while we both say "I DO!"
