Maid of Honor
"My first memories of Courtney involve dancing. Whether she was dancing or having me dance with her, we were always dancing together. We would dance as a family, sometimes do solo concerts, or make up a dance together. This made dancing through life very fun, and we still do the same thing. Sometimes we dance through Walmart or at restaurants. Ryan has always been a huge supporter of our smaller gigs at Walmart and restaurants, and he loves to join in. Ryan is very modest though, he just does some shimmies or a step-touch, but he always joins in. I am so excited to add Ryan to our life full of random dance parties!"

"I met Joint my freshman year of college. We met because we both wrestled for Simpson ad lived on the same floor in Kresge. We started to hangout more and became really close. Our first year we made a lot of memories whether it involved wrestling, getting bullied by his littler brother Cylir, swearing in under the bro code, or playing what are the odds. During that time is when he met Courtney (AKA C-Buscuit) and she became part of our crew. After our first year, Joint decided to leave Simpson, but thankfully he stayed in the area. So, we still got to hang out all of the time. Throughout the crazy experiences, a few unique road trips on our spring breaks, a hospital trip, and a lot of smack talk. And I'm sure we got much more experience and smack talk to come. #BessiesForLife

"Courtney is one of the most outgoing, passionate, and caring people I know. She has one of the most beautiful souls I've ever met. I'm thankful everyday for her to be one of my best friends. The summer of 2014 is where our friendship first truly blossomed. I love how close we have become through the years and that we continue to support and encourage one another. I couldn't be happier for Courtney and Ryan and I'm ecstatic to be apart of their special day!"

"Our friendship started around 2002. Joint and I rode the same bus and lived a few miles down the road from each other. Every summer we would stay at each others houses or go swimming at the pool. In high school, I talked Ryan into playing soccer because we only had 7 players for that season and wouldn't have been able to field a full team and eventually he talked me into wrestling. It seemed like every day we were over at his parent's house hanging out until our practices started, or in the weight room during our home room period in school. We pushed each other and competed in everything we possibly could. Usually ending in me winning, and Ryan winning the smack talking battle. Just kidding, we are in our mid twenties and nothing has changed. Except now it"s on the golf course. "

"I first met Courtney in 2011 at SWCC, we were roommates and teammates on the softball team. I consider Courtney one of my best friends. I can always count on her to have my back, and can always count on the times we have together including laughing till tears are rolling down our faces. The first time I met Ryan I knew that Courtney and him were meant for each other. They just had a vibe about them that you could tell it was the real deal. I am so excited to see Courtney and Ryan start their new journey as Husband and Wife!"

"Joint and I met at Simpson my freshman year of college. We met through common friends: Devin, Christian, Vaughn, and a few others. If it wasn't for them I would have never thought Joint and I would be friends at all. As the five of us hung out more, we formed our clique and became bros. As the years have gone by, we have made the best memories that I will never forget.... Road trips, spending summers together, and even trying to kick his butt at wrestling. I am glad we became bros and one day I will have my moment and pin you to the mat."

We met through LifeServe Blood Center a little over a year ago but I feel like we've known each other for so much longer than that. She keeps me wild and I keep her sane. She made my time at LifeServe a little less stressful while we could work most weekends together. I'm so happy she agreed to stand up next to me even though she swore she would never be in a wedding again.

"I remember meeting Joint freshman year of college, and I saw he had cauliflower ear like me so I figured he'd be a pretty cool guy. That thought lead to many wild memories most of which I may not speak of, but they were awesome. There were car slaps, glass bottles, darts, and many other unforgettable nights. Shortly after meeting Joint, I got to meet C-biscuit and those two were an instant pair. It just took a bit to put a ring on it, but he finally did. I'm proud of you brother!!"

We've been friends so long I can't even remember the first time we met. Softball was our lives and if we could go back in time I'm sure we would just to play together one more time. Other than my family, she is the other reason I travel back home so I can see her and her family. I am thankful she accepted my request to stand up next to me on my big day, I couldn't imagine it without her.

"When I first met you, I really had no idea we would become brothers. I figured you'd just be another guy from college I knew. But you turned out to become one of my best friends and brother. It's been a hell of a ride over these past few years and I'm happy to call you my brother. "
