Maid of Honor aka Ride or Die
Brandi is practically my twin. Not only are we only 14 months apart but we have the same views on life, fit into all the same clothes, and have mostly the same interests. But not everything about us is the same. My favorite story of Brandi and I while growing up is when we were at this 16+ dance club most of you know as Zero Gravity (mind you Brandi was taking her OLDER sister to the club). As we were walking through the club this "gentleman" grabbed my butt and in a confused manner I told Brandi "I think he touched my butt." Immediately she turned around and screamed in the guys face to never touch me again! We always have and will always be each others protectors.
Best Man
Kyle and Roger hated each other when they first started working at Doggie Dinner together but eventually they bonded over hating the same things. They've been best friends ever since.
Bridesmaid aka cuzzo
Samantha and I were close when we were little but distance, time, and tweenhood came between us. When she moved to Chicago for undergrad our Aunt Julie suggested we all reunite. Later to find out, she was actually quite apprehensive about us hanging out because she thought we didn't have anything in common anymore. Little did she know exactly how much fun I still was. Immediately Sam and I became best friends again. She's taught me a lot about life and opened me up to art, music, and politics. Family by blood, best friends by choice.

Ronnie is Roger's older brother. They've always looked out for each other and have been best friends since they were kids.
Bridesmaid aka fireball
Stephanie and I have known each other for the majority of our lives. She has become a member of the family. Steph is the face of "though she be but little, she is fierce." Along with little one's fierceness she is probably one of the funniest people I've ever met. Keep a look out for her witty comments.

Bridesmaid aka Mother of Dragons
Lindsay and I have known each other for years (Stephanie's little sister) but it wasn't until we started working at the bar together that we quickly fell in love. Her gentle soul and hard attitude are what I love most about her. Lindsay and I bond over our love for Texas. She recently moved to Boston, TX and I frequently travel there for work. Our goal is to visit all the major Texan cities together!

Bridesmaid aka BIG
Jamie and I fell for each other freshmen year of college when I decided to join a sorority. She is what you call my "big" in sorority life where her job is to mentor to me. Well Jamie definitely mentored me in how to get up at 7am for tailgates, frat boys, and finishing a liter of wine. She also taught me alot about friendship and generosity. Jamie was always letting me borrow her car to get to work and there was no shortage of borrowing her clothes. I had the honor of standing up in her wedding and now I'm honored she's standing up in mine!

Ever since we were kids we’ve always been into the same things. There was this one time I’ll never forget, Roger's mom had this old snow blower that didn’t work. We were maybe 11 years old or something. We took the motor out of it and wanted to see if it would run so we took the snow blower apart and somehow got it running. The whole garage filled with smoke but we didn’t care, we just knew we had a running motor. He’s my best friend and look at him like a brother. I know if I ever needed anything he’d be there. Just in the last few years alone I got to see all that him and Angie have accomplished together and it’s unbelievable what they’ve done together, you guys are completely unstoppable and I am incredibly proud of him and Angie for everything they’ve done in such a short time.
Bridesmaid aka Main Bitch
Sam and I met while bartending at Tequila Cowboy when I was attending MSU. We are each others biggest fans. We push each other to follow our dreams and work hard. But don't worry we always know how to find trouble when we are together!

Bridesmaid aka Piglet
Mo and I bartended together at Tequila Cowboy with Sam. At first this girl came off as rude telling me what to do (I don't take orders well). Come to find out she is one of the sincerest and most caring people I've ever met. We share our love for traveling and get to visit her in Nashville whenever I am there for work!
Man of Honor (Bagels)
Wes is my brother from another mother. We became instant best friends as soon as we met. We could be doing absolutely nothing and still be laughing up a storm. There's too many great memories to choose from, I just feel lucky I get to go through life with him!
Mother of the Groom
Mother of the Bride
This apple did not fall from the tree. When you meet my mother you know exactly where I came from. My work ethic and sense of adventure grow from her unwillingness to give up when life gets hard and ability to always have a good time. "When you have the choice to sit it out or dance, dance."
