"Kayla and I have been working together for 8 years but we became work wives in 2014. With a mutual love for Harry Potter, crafts and no nonsense- we became inseparable. We often say, “mixed together we’d make a complete, normal functioning person.” She completes everything I am lacking and I complete everything she is missing. I look forward to Kayla and Bill joining together and completing their family. Along with a lifetime of being Bills sister wife. Congratulations!" -Courtney
Best Man
Bill and I have been friends for over 18 years, and one of my favorite stories is the time Brianna lost Bill's car keys. One night, Bill calls me panicking bc he accidentally locked Brianna in the car (she was safe in her car seat), & needs his spare key to open it. So as the dutiful friend, I proceed to rapidly tear apart his apartment with the reckless abandon of someone who doesn't have to clean up after. Finally, I searched Brianna's toy tornado of a room and notice a metallic glint inside that child-sized red and yellow peddle car. Brianna had "borrowed" daddy’s spare key. I snatched the key and whisked it off to Bill so he could open his car. Kayla, I'm so glad your here to keep his life in order- he probably won’t lose his keys again until Freya is old enough to “borrow” the car.

I am the notorious older sister- and therefore have known Kayla her entire life! I consider my little sister one of my closest and best friends. Anyone who knows Kayla and I would think that we bicker and argue too much but this is just a byproduct of how close we are. You may think we are at odds but I assure you, we get over it just as fast as it pops up and she is the only person I can say will ALWAYS have my back. Being that I am the older sister, it always seemed that Kayla would follow in my footsteps. Only testing the waters once I have had the chance to do so myself... However, that's not the case. She is now branching out on her own and starting a family and getting married before me. So now… I get to follow the leader!

"I'd like to share the story of the first time Bill introduced me to Kayla- It was my birthday and Bill met me at highway mikes. He said Kayla was going to be stopping by and said to me 'I really really like this one, dude. Like I really care about her a lot. PLEASE, just this once, just DON'T BE YOUUU .' I said 'WHAT?!? I dont know what you're talking about!' lol. Bill then said, 'c'mon, you KNOW what I mean. I care about her so PLEASE just TONE it down'. It was That moment i knew that Bill had found "the one." -Pete

”Kayla and I met in high school while cheering for the Wilmot Panthers where we formed a fast friendship that turned into a lifelong friendship. From Cheerleading competitions, to cheering on the sidelines of every football game, prom, Panic! at the disco, getting married, and having babies, we have been together for all of the big moments. I can’t wait for your wedding day and getting to celebrate YOU and the love you and Bill have for each other. You are the kindest most understanding woman with the biggest heart and you deserve the world!”

Bill and I have been friends for 16 years, and one of our funniest memories is when he and my brother decided to strip at my wedding and processed to give me lap dances.... Bill I look forward to repaying the favor at your wedding!!!!

"I've known Kayla for 13 years, as I am married to her cousin, Kris, and we have 3 crazy kids together. My favorite thing about Kayla is her sense of humor- she just gets me and all of my movie quotes! One of my favorite memories of her is the day we were cleaning her grandmas estate and found her grandmas wigs. These were GEMS, lol. We had so much fun laughing in the mirror while posing and making faces while conducting a photoshoot. It was nice because, in such a sad time, we were able to find happiness and laughter together." -Lili

I’m Brianna, the oldest daughter of the groom. One of the first times meeting Kayla was when i was 9- and she really made an amazing impression on me. We went to 6 Flags and had so much fun, but the day was cut short bc i had gotten sick from a (EXTREMELY) over-sugared snow cone. She laid in bed with me for over an hour - comforting me. I didn't realize in that moment, that i would have her around forever- but I'm so grateful bc she is the best step mom/mother anyone could ask for. Shes taught me many things, like how to drive, being patient and making it a EXCITING experience vs an anxious one. She keeps me strong even when she isn’t, she is the mother to me now that I never got to experience as a child. I’m so happy to know that Dad has found someone so amazing to share his life with.

"My favorite memory with Bill and Kayla is when we went to an escape room together. We had so much fun running around and solving problems and beating the clock together! We managed to escape and we didn’t even have to break any locks. When Bill asked Kayla to marry him I promptly started lobbying to perform the wedding. Thanks guys, for letting me be a part of your special day!"
