Matron of Honor
Chrissy and I became inseparable the day she and I began working at Ghrist Veterinary Clinic together in our hometown! From feeding me apple slices in my hiding spot at the clinic, making plush beds for the patients, having McDonalds before sending her off to get married to her one of a kind hubby, hitting Chicks as soon as my plane landed in Virginia Beach, coffee and mimosas to start out each day of vacation, to planning a wedding with my best friend, she's been a true constant. She is undoubtedly my person and I'm so grateful to have her standing right by me when I say I do! #tatbump

Mya is my sweet baby cousin (ok not such a baby anymore)! It is so much fun watching her grow into the amazing young woman she is becoming. Riding four wheelers at The Ridge, watching The Bachelor or The Bachelorette every week, making TikToks on the beach, and just spending some quality time with Mya and her mom, Sarah, are some of my favorite things to do with her! Mya plays soccer at JHS, is a member of National Honor Society, and is an amazing role model for her younger cousins! Love my baby cuzzo so much!

Elisha is another one of Drew's best friends that I stole from him! Drew and Elisha's husband, Craig, have the cutest bromance I've ever seen, which means Elisha and I get to spend a lot of time together, which I love! We are constantly bonding over plants (more like me asking for advice on how she keeps all of them alive), home décor, our love for details in older homes, weddings and so many other things! I cannot wait until both of us have families so we can be the cute moms drinking mimosas on the beach while watching Drew and Craig build sand castles with the kiddos!

I was introduced to Emily "Gibbs" through Drew. In fact, Gibbs is one of Drew's closest friends that he grew up with. Whenever I met Gibbs, there was an instant friendship formed! She always brings the right amount of extra to any situation. Gaining such an independent, bold, loyal, and fun friend in Gibbs has been a true blessing! Lizzo for life!

Hannah and I have known each other our entire lives! Seeing as how I only have a little brother, I've always considered her a little sister. She and I also attended the same college, SIUe. She is an amazing special education teacher at the middle school in Pittsfield. She always has a million things going on but never misses a beat. Hannah recently got engaged and has already started the wedding planning process as well! It's been so fun watching her plans come together! Love my seester!

Carrie and I became best friends in high school and also worked together at Ghrist Veterinary Clinic! We actually raced from the high school to the clinic when school let out every time we were both scheduled to work (sorry, mom)! To say we are competitive is an understatement! Carrie and her boyfriend (now husband) Garrett put up with me being their third wheel for a solid 10 years. Any bonfire, bar, community event they went to, I was always right behind them haha! Carrie has the two sweetest boys that melt my heart when they call me "Aunt Cole"! I love riding horses with Carrie and seeing what other kind of trouble I can get into when I visit the Howland household!

Jenna and I met and became fast friends while working at Ghrist Veterinary Clinic (starting to see a trend here haha)! We started out as Semi-Pros together and quickly climbed the ladder to Pros at GVC. Outside of work, I love riding horses in fields after harvest and counting kernels on ears of corn (for a reason that I cannot remember-but there's definitely a random picture of it out there) with Jenna. Being a part of Jenna's wedding was an absolute blast, especially climbing the grain bin in dresses and boots to get the best picture! I cannot wait to see what kind of trouble we get into on my wedding day! Pro halves forever!

Lauren, my sweet sweet Lo! I can barely put into words how much I love this girl! Lo and I met at SIUe when she was my suitemate in the dorms. She was coming in hot every day with her blue eyeshadow and cheetah print everything. We quickly became friends and continued living together throughout our time at SIUe. We'd hit the bars with our buddies on Thursdays and always found ourselves in some sort of predicament that we'd have to talk our way out of. Those were the days haha! Even though we don't see each other often these days, each time we do get to hang out, it's like we haven't missed a beat! Lo is getting married in July of this year, which I am lucky enough to be a part of. It's been so much fun going through this wedding planning process with her!
