She will not take credit for this, but Sara is part of why Rudy and I met! In October, Sara convinced me to let her take over my Match.com profile and the famous "profile takeover!" Since we are getting married, you can say it was a successful takeover...how can I ever thank her! Sara and I met over 10 years ago while attending a Bible study in Phoenix. Sara invited me over for dinner with her family one night, and I never seemed to leave. We are stars of carpool karaoke and kitchen rock concerts, much to her daughter Callie's dismay. Sara has been one of the biggest cheerleaders for GCG Pretzels, setting up early morning fairs, sticking out high-wind events, and fighting the AZ heat.

Abby and I met as freshmen in college 22 years ago! Our personalities instantly clicked, and a friendship quickly developed over a love for shows like Unsolved Mysteries, musicals like Geese, drive up and Down Oneida St., Basco Sticks at Phil's Cafe, and an overall passion for life. Abby became the keeper of many embarrassing stories, including several from an unforgettable trip to NYC. After any amount of time with Abby, my face hurts from hours of laughter. Abby also made me an extended auntie to 3 amazing boys.
Bridesmaid
Carrie quickly became my first friend when I moved to Arizona; she has been stuck with me ever since. Over our 15+ year friendship, we have traveled, crafted, and thrown some fantastic themed parties. Our travels have encompassed ski trips, beach trips, and a Mission trip to Haiti. After one of our fabulous trips to CA, Carrie revoked any of my trip-planning privileges...what can I say? I like finding good deals, and we made it out alive :)! Carrie and I share the same mindset that we can recreate any project we see at a craft fair...ask either of us about our juicing and glass-cutting attempts...again, we are happy to be alive after that one).

I had the fantastic privilege of meeting Callie when she was only 5 years old and watched her grow into an amazing young lady with a heart for the Lord. Callie has endured me treating her like a niece/daughter wanting to do Bible studies with her, girls' nights, and many embarrassing rock concerts in the car, Ross, kitchen, or anywhere there is excellent music Sara and I can sing to. Callie is a talented artist, plant mom extraordinary, and avid cat/bird lover. Ask her about the bird she met her first time visiting Wisconsin :).
Best Man
Our friendship dates back to circa 1997 when we worked in retail. I learned so much from him about always striving to be better. Also, one of the most musically talented individuals I know! Thank you Orlando for the blessings you've poured into my life!

A great friend, a great family man, and above all, a spiritually leader devoted to leading lives to Christ! Thank you Kike for the blessings you've poured into my life!

Yep, my brother, we have been through it all dating back to life in ES, to when we moved to the states in '89. God blesses you with family, and he is one of my many blessings! I love you brother!
