Faith is my baby sister who is now almost 18 years old! God always knew we needed another girl in the family and he surprised us with the most amazing gift. There is definitely a few . years between us which makes our relationship much different from most sisters; not only does she have a big sister, but she also has a second Mom! We sometimes get confused as twins which is quite surprising with an 11 year age gap (I like to think I look 17) I am so proud of the woman she has grown up to be and I am so excited that I get to share our special day with her and have her by my side!

Jake is my lovely little brother. As soon as I met him I knew we were going to be best buddies. Mom and Dad say that Jake isn't an oops...but the other siblings think differently. Jake and I have grown very close throughout our lives...mainly cause we had to share the bedroom for most of my personal life. Jake is the stud of the Genrich's, for other reasons than just his looks. Growing up he exceeded in sports and I was always his biggest fan(except for crazy soccer Mom and Dad.) I couldn't be prouder to have such an amazing younger brother and a great friend. Jake used to live in Florida BUTTT is moving back to Michigan with Ryan. I am overjoyed to have my best friend back home...oh and you too Ryan. For my big day, I couldn't see another person standing right by my side than Jake. Hope your speech doesn't suck Jakeman!

Trubz has been dating my older sister Nicole for about 274 years. They are high school sweet hearts and are the loveliest of couples. Matt has been in my life for quite a while. We were basically brothers before he took Nicole's hand in marriage in 2012. I was lucky enough to be in their awesome wedding at the Crofoot in Pontiac. What an amazing night(which I hope to top on my wedding day...bring it on Trublowski's.) Matt and Nicole now live in Fort Worth, TX with their dog Titan. Throughout their years of dating/marriage...Matt has been such a support for my sister while she chased her dreams of becoming a CRNA(which she is now!! #Stud). Matt has proven to be a great example of a husband...so I need him up there with my on my day to guide me in the right direction.

Brittany and I met our Freshman year of college. She was my next door neighbor in the dorms and we hit it off right away. We then lived together the next three years and the rest is history. Through our college years we earned the title of the "itney's" Mostly because if one was there obviously the other was there somewhere so we basically became one entity :) Brittany also ended up marrying the boy across the hall in the dorms, my good friend Ryan. I like to think that I helped build many wonderful marriages at CMU. Brittany has been my support system for many years now and she truly makes me a better person. I can't imagine my day without her and am so thankful to have such a wonderful and caring best friend.

Kelli and I have been best friends since 6th grade. She has become part of my family and has been there every step of the way. We have been captains together, roommates together and graduates together (even when it was hailing during our CMU graduation). One of my favorite things about having so many amazing friends in my life is watching them accomplish milestones in their lives and create families. That is especially true with Kelli. We have been through so much together and I am so lucky to have had her by my side. I can't imagine this next big life event without her in it.

After my sister Jessica graduated from MSU she decided to move to TX to be closer to Nicole and to find a better opportunity for teaching. While living down there she meets the southern gentleman of her dreams...and of course his name is Michael. After I got to meet Michael and see how amazing he treats my little sister...I became a fan. Michael, Jessica, Annabelle, Garrett and Crazy Daisy live right outside of Fort Worth, TX...right down the street from Coley and Matt. Last summer Michael and Jessica got married in Glen Harbor, MI at the Homestead. Such a beautiful day filled with family and friends that I got to be part of. First time being a bridesman!! I am honored that Michael accepted my invitation for him to stand up with me on my big day.

Norm is my lovely fiancé's big brother. I couldn't have asked for a better new big brother than Norm. He is the man's man...knows all about boats, snowmobiling, fixing things, hunting and Busch light. Norm and his family are all such important people in Whitney and I's life. All of them are in the wedding party. Tracy is standing up with Whitney, Anna is our flower girl and Theo is the ring bearer. Norm and Tracy are having a 3rd child and I'm sure whitney will make up a position in the wedding for that cute lil thing. Funcle Mike can't wait to have another niece or nephew to play with. I formally asked Norm to be in the wedding but I think he knew he never really had a choice. Whitney looks up to her big brother so much and he really set the bar high with the life and family he has created. Game on Norm.

Jackie and I have been best friends since our Junior year at CMU. Luckily she just happened to be neighbors with our guy friends and ended up marrying one of them :) Again, one of those marriages that I like to think I had a hand in. At first we were a little jealous of this girl that all of a sudden was working her way in with our guy friends, turns out she was one of the best things that could've happened to us (and Phil) She has been such a blessing in my life and brings so much positivity and loving spirit to our friendship. We love spending time with Jackie, Phil and Doug (their amazing golden retriever that is best friends with Cooper) My life truly would suck without her ;)

Alessandro and I met in high school and quickly became close friends. We also were roommates at Central Michigan University until Sandro left after the first semester to follow his dreams of becoming the only person to go to almost every college in Michigan ;). After finally finding his niche and finally graduating he met the love of his life Laura in GR. I was lucky enough to be a part of his lovely wedding in Northern Michigan. Now Sandro and Laura reside in New Orleans with their puppies Murphy and Penelope. Sandro works in the film industry and has successfully put my face in a few motion pictures. Sandro made me famous so I thought it was the right thing to put him in my wedding. Beyond pumped to have him up there with me for my big day.

Allyson Cay was my first friend. We literally have known each other since the day she was born; the day we met. Thankfully my parents took me with them when they went to the hospital to meet their best friend's new baby. We spent our childhoods together, playing with frogs in the crick, singing to our hermit crabs and doing so many other weird things that kids do. We spent our summers together up on Hick's lake and taking trips to Norris Lake with our families. We've grown up together and now I can't wait to watch our own families grow together. Allyson is getting married in August to her wonderful Fiance Matt. The good thing is our Dads can complain to one another about all this wedding stuff :) I am so happy to have Allyson stand with me on our special day.

Kevin and I first met when he rear ended my car outside of the high school parking lot. Needless to say I was a little bit bitter. We then ended up becoming friends because of our mutual friend Erica. After hanging out a lot in high school and growing our awesome friendship we became roommates in college for all of Kevins 4 years(i stayed 5...because I'm a champion and need to "woo" my future wife to be.) Kevin now lives in LA where he is a personal trainer and does 5 other jobs that I can never keep track of. Even with all of these miles between Kev and I, whenever we meet up it seems like we are still living in the same house. I am so excited to have him back for my big day.

Marilyn is also one of those lifetime friends. If you haven't figured it out, Marilyn is Allyson's younger sister. Growing up, Marilyn was always the little sister I never had (up until I was 11 and finally had one) I will always remember us bigger girls on our rollerblades in the driveway and Marilyn driving around her her little car (she thought was an ambulance) when one of us would fall she was scoot over making an alarm sound and say "are you ok?" The Norris family and Klein family have shared so many memories together and I am lucky to have these amazing sisterfriends. The older we got, the closer we got. Marilyn has been a huge support along the way and I will cherish all of the fun we have had! Including many trips to Texas and even making the drive back with me! Marilyn is also getting married in December! Again, we are happy our Dads have each other during all this wedding fun!

Tracy and I have been friends since my Freshman year of high school. Also a huge coincidence that she is married to my big brother! It's crazy to think of all of our high school memories together and then now being sister-in-laws! I guess you always hope that your Brother marries someone you can be friends with and that is exactly how it worked out! I am so happy to have tracy stand with me on our big day. Not only is she an amazing wife to my brother but also a phenomenal Mom to my adorable niece, nephew and soon to be baby Klein!

I met Tony my first year out in CO while working for the Roaring Fork Club. After our first few times hanging out...we knew we were going to be brotherrrssss(inside joke). While living it up in CO we had many many good adventures. Aspen wouldn't know what hit it after Tony, Ryan and I rolled through it. Tony now lives in Dallas, TX and works at a prestigious country club as a head golf professional. Whenever we are down in Texas visiting Nicole, Matt, Jessica and Michael...everyone always asks, "Where's Tony?" Not only is Tony the life of the party, he is one of the most genuine and caring people I know....which is why he is up there standing on my side and I couldn't be more excited.

Jessica is my soon to be Sister-in-Law! She is Mike's youngest sister. One of the great things about dating Mike is getting to hang out with his amazing family. Jessica lives in Texas and is a teacher. I have always had so much respect for my teacher friends. Jess has one of the biggest hearts and is always doing everything she can to help others around her. I am truly happy that not only do I get a sister-in-law but also a friend that I love spending time with. I wish she lived closer, but the time we do get to spend together is always full of laughter and fun! I am so excited to have her by my side on our special day!

Doddly and I are another result of the Roaring Fork Club. Ryan and Tony were/are best friends and I was lucky enough to make the cut after meeting them in CO. I definitely can thank Ryan for my taste of music. Whitney can blame Ryan for all the "whomp whomp" music that will be played at the reception. Ryan now lives in St Louis, MO with his lovely wife Kirbie. Ryan works as an assistant golf professional at a great course. I unfortunately have been relieved of my caddying duties since the birth of his adorable son Oliver. I was lucky enough to make the cut at Ryan and Kirbie's wedding in Arizona back in 2014. What a beautiful ceremony and an even better reception. I expect the same type of raging to go down at my reception. Unfortunately I don't think Michael Menart(Ryan's favorite DJ) will be there Ryan....but I'm pretty darn happy you guys will be there.

Nicole is also my soon to be sister-in-law! Nicole is Mike's older sister and I couldn't be happier to also now have an older sister! Nicole is a nurse anesthetist and also lives down in Texas. I have always admired Nicole's drive for perfection and hard work as she recently finished school. Nicole and I have always been able to relate to one another in many ways which also includes our coke bottle glasses (well the ones I use to have!) Nicole is a blast to be around and I have enjoyed spending time together getting to know each other. Especially when she comes to Michigan and we end up having a girls day with a little champagne ;)I am so fortunate to have such great relationships with my sister-in-laws and I couldn't imagine our day without Nicole being with us every step of the way!

My big buddy Kevin and I are yet another result of working for the Roaring Fork Club. Kevin and I are pretty close. So close that I have been invited to his family trips and his mom is basically my other mom(Shoutout to Mama Deb). Kevin still lives and works at that amazing place as the Assistant Golf Course Superintendent. Although Kevin and I worked in different departments at the Club...we lived a few doors down. Coming home from work and seeing that big guy across the road made me miss MI a little less. We would sit on the porch with Jordan and let our dumb dogs play together. Coop misses Divot almost as much as I miss Kev. Which is why I am so excited to bring the gang back together for the best day of my life.
