Matron of Honor
My beautiful sister and best friend in the whole world! Kristen is truly one of a kind, and I still can’t believe I get to call her my sister. We’ve been inseparable since the day she was born, so it was a no-brainer that she would be my Matron of Honor. From climbing “Mount Everest” on our backyard play structure to swimming across the oceans whilst "out swimming sharks" hahaha in our childhood swimming pool using nothing but our imaginations, Kristen has always made life feel magical. She makes you believe that anything is possible and with her by your side, it truly is. She’s also the most talented baker and chef I know. She even started her own cake business last year (seriously, check it out: @kriscakeco). You won't regret it! Kristen gave me the most beautiful, joy-filled childhood I could ever ask for. I just love doing everything in life with her! I can’t wait to have her standing by my side on our big day. I love you endlessly Krissy.
Bridesmaid
My beautiful best friend who completely changed the way I see friendship. Rachel is one of those rare souls whose energy fills the whole room she radiates warmth, kindness, and authenticity. If you’ve ever been lucky enough to be around her, you know exactly what I mean. We met during my early days in Hawaii, and I just knew from the start that we were going to become best friends. We clicked instantly. We just get each other effortlessly and deeply. Time with Rachel fills my cup, period. Some of my most cherished memories are with my Rachey from beach days, pool days, surf sessions to wine nights with charcuterie and reality TV and everything in between. Every moment is fun, grounding, and full of love. I’m beyond grateful to call Rachel my best friend, and it means the world to me to have her standing beside me on one of the most important days of my life. Love you always, my Rachey.
Bridesmaid
My beautiful sister-in-law! I first met Katie when I moved to Arizona to attend Grand Canyon University. My brother Jonah couldn’t wait for Kristen and me to meet her and we were just as excited to meet this special lady in our brothers life! Katie is one of the most resilient and positive people I’ve ever known. She’s a true “glass half full” kind of soul and you can feel her light the moment she walks into a room. Her kindness, strength, and joy are contagious. I’m so grateful to have Katie in my life, and I can’t wait to keep making beautiful memories together. It means the world to have her by my side on our special day. Love you so much!
Bridesmaid
My beautiful soon-to-be sister-in-law! I truly feel so lucky and blessed to be gaining another sister. From the moment we met, I knew we were going to have the most fun life together and I was right! I cherish all the memories we've already made from celebrating Christmas in Hawaii to all our trips to Atlanta (with so many more adventures to come). You bring so much joy and laughter wherever you go. I'm so proud of everything you have already achieved and so excited to see where you will go! It was a no-brainer that you’d be one of my bridesmaids. I couldn't imagine this day without you by my side. Ebony and Ivory forever. Love you so much, Sid!
Best Man
The man, the myth, the legend. My older brother. He isn’t just my best man—he’s my best friend, my role model, and the guy who’s always been in my corner. Growing up, he set the bar high for what it means to be a man, a friend, and a brother. He’s the one who showed me how to handle life’s challenges with strength, to bend and not break, and to always keep your head up and keep going. There were so many times I leaned on him—whether it was advice, support, or just knowing he was there. He’s the person I’ve looked up to my whole life, and I wouldn’t be the man I am today without him. Even when life got busy, he always made time for me, and he’s taught me what loyalty and family truly mean. Having him standing beside me on one of the biggest days of my life means everything. There’s no one else I’d rather have as my best man, and no words that can fully capture how much I admire and love him. He’s not just my big brother—he’s been my guide, my protector, and my greatest blessing. P.S. We started 99Brickz together. Building that brand with him has been an experience, challenging, but also fun. It wouldn’t be what it is without his vision and drive. (And hey, if you’re ever interested check us out 99brickz.com)

This guy right here might just be the funniest person on the planet. Burgess is truly one-of-a-kind—with his genuine nature and magnetic energy, people can’t help but gravitate toward him. When we’re together, we’re like oil and water in the best way—because the roasting starts the second we’re in the same room. We’ve been best friends since high school. I used to pick him up for school every day (in the green 1994 Acura Legend), and his loyalty is unmatched. On mornings I overslept, he could’ve taken the bus or found another ride, but instead, he’d wait for my call. I’d tell him "Aye bro I'm running late", and without missing a beat, he’d say, “NO, WE BOTH RUNNING LATE!” and honestly, the reason I probably overslept was because we’d stayed on the phone until 3 a.m. talking about life or joking around—even though we knew we had to wake up at like 6:30. Even now, living on opposite sides of the globe, we still talk just about every day. That’s how close we are—you’d think we lived next door to each other. If you get a chance to meet him at the wedding due it, you'll probably be laughing in the first 20 secs about something. he is just that type of guy. There are more things I could say about this man Burgess than words could ever say, but the bottom line is this: he’s not just a friend—he’s my forever brother.

NICO THE WINNER! Nico’s been my guy since 8th grade—back when I’d just moved to town and spotted him on the sidelines of our very first football game. From that day on, we’ve been best friends and lived through just about every stage of life together: middle school football, high school, our first job, college, even being roommates. He even hooked me up with my first few jobs after college. Nico is the kind of friend who always has your back—and I will always have his. He genuinely wants to see everyone around him win, and I’m beyond thankful to have him standing beside me on my big day. If you ever get the chance to talk with him, DO IT—he’s like the Dos Equis guy: the most interesting man in the world.

Jemarcus is one of those friends you don’t meet growing up, but you’re lucky enough to meet later in life. We crossed paths at the hospital in the summer of ’16, and that summer changed everything. From day one, he’s been a constant source of advice, positivity, and motivation. Jemarcus has been there for so many big moments in my life, always hyping me up and believing in my potential even when I didn’t see it myself. He pushes me to aim higher and do more, and I can’t thank him enough for that. I wish we had met sooner because we ended up going to the same college (small World)—but I’m still grateful that we met when we did because I gained not just a friend, but another older brother.
Groomsman
My brother from another mother, James! If James is in the room, you already know it’s about to be a good time. We’ve been tight since high school—whether we were sprinting side by side on the track, geeking out at Dragon Con, yelling at the TV during Game of Thrones episodes, or just chilling at his place and beating him at all of his video games that he thinks he is good at. James has that kind of energy that turns any hangout into an instant memory, and I couldn’t imagine this day without him. He’s not just a friend—he’s family for life.
Groomsman
Ryan is one of my closest childhood friends—and fun fact, he has a twin brother! For the first few years I knew them, I couldn’t tell the two apart (seriously, it was impossible). Ryan’s been in my life since middle school, and we went through high school and even college together—where we were roommates. What’s always stood out about Ryan is his unwavering loyalty and the way he’s always there when you need him. He’s been a constant through every season of my life, and I’m grateful to have him standing by my side on this special day.
