Alexandria is my younger sister and a bright young soul. She can recite lines of our favorite childhood TV shows and make me laugh so hard that I cry. Alexandria pushes me to be better in everything I do and to be a better person. She is a determined young woman that has a beautiful future waiting for her. Alexandria is important to me because she brings a light into my life that I could not find anywhere else. My wedding would not be complete without her standing by my side.

Christian is important to me because he is my best friend (well except for Victoria, sorry Christian). We have been friends since high school. Christian has always been there for me for help, advice, or anything I need. He has been a motivation all throughout school to make me determined to succeed (plus he's pretty smart so he's good at helping me learn things I don't understand).

Jordan is Victoria's brother-in-law and I have known him for almost five years. It took me a while to get to know him but I think he's pretty cool. He always tells me that I can come over and play video games with him if I ever get bored or tired of Victoria (I have taken him up on this offer in the past). He also lets me steal beer from him so that's another plus in my book.

Dominique is my older sister and also my role model. I watched as she paved the way through high school, college, and then starting a career. I took notes on everything she did and knew I had to do it better (the typical younger sister attitude). Dominique is intelligent and always willing to lend a helping hand. Dominique is important to me because she helped guide me into what "adult" life would look like and I cannot thank her enough for the encouragement over the years. My wedding would not be complete without her standing by my side.

Melissa is my oldest sister and has always played an important role in my life. She has always been there to support me and help me when I needed it. Melissa is always willing to listen or lend a shoulder for support. Melissa is so caring, kind, and helpful. Melissa is important to me because she is always there to listen and offer advice whenever I am unsure what to do. My wedding would not be complete without her standing by my side.

Angelo is important to me because he offers real life advice to help Victoria and I move forward to reach our goals (let's be honest, without him helping us with budgeting, we would be broke). Angelo has always been there to guide Victoria and has quickly become a big part of my life. We love having drinks or finding cool restaurants all over Buffalo (like the Viking, everyone should go there). Victoria and I have become pretty close friends with Angelo and his wife, Jenn, and I know we will continue to be good friends in the future.

Cameron is my younger brother. He's pretty quiet but I have learned that he will talk a lot if it's about a video game he likes, a sports team he likes, or anything related to Marvel. We don't always act like we're super close to each other, but I think we are and we're both just people that like to keep feelings on the inside. He really is important to me and I wanted him to know that by having him be a part of my wedding.

I began to get to know Samantha when I started dating Jacob. I loved learning more about who she was just like a younger sister. I love taking her side, standing up for her, and gossiping about girl stuff. I have watched her grow the last few years and she is growing up to be an amazing young woman. She is beautiful, smart, funny, and I am very proud to call her my soon-to-be sister-in-law. Samantha is important to me because she has a joke when I need one and a hug always ready. My wedding would not be complete without her standing by my side.
