Maid of Honor
Stephanie and I met during college orientation and became fast friends.I remember calling my mom the day I met Stephanie and said "Oh my gosh mom, I think I just met my new best friend. She has curly dark hair and plays the piano and we are both going to be music therapists!" Since that fateful day, we lived together for three years, took almost every class together, and now visit each other as often as possible. We love to take adventures together and have explored Oregon, several Texas campgrounds, and the Denton Corn Kits Factory (okay maybe just the parking lot, but we did get a picture!). Our bucket list together includes visiting every TX State Park and Everest Base Camp. Stephanie is truly the Ann Perkins to my Leslie Knope. She is a perfect sunflower.

Kaitlyn and I met freshman year at TWU and we were soon inseparable. In fact, people often thought we were sisters! We lived together for two years with our other BFF Stephanie and shared so many late nights filled with laughter, "Friends," ice fights, applesauce, and snow cones! Kaitlyn has always been the perfect picture of what true love looks like. The first memory I have of Kaitlyn is watching her read love letters in class written by her now-husband while he was away training in the Navy. Now, she not only has an awesome marriage with her high school sweetheart, but she constantly reminds me that "when you're in love... anything can happen."
Bridesmaid
Meghan was born a mere 22 months after me and gave the wonderful privilege of being a big sister! Now, Meghan is a grown woman with a house and two dogs and two cats and a job as an awesome teacher but still makes time to come down to Texas and visit me every chance she gets. One day, we are going to explore Europe together and see everything we can!
Bridesmaid
Katie Katie Katie... What can I possibly say about my joyous, bubbly, complicated, gorgeous, adventurous baby sister? She always pushes me to be the best and happiest version of myself, regardless of what others think. Even though I am older, I still look up to her for so many reasons: her courage, bluntness, and athleticism for starters. She is the spark of our family!
Best Man
I met Jon right after I started grad school, he joined our research group the same time as I did. We quickly became friends through our nerdy hobbies. We are so similar that people often mistake us for brothers. He helped me through some the toughest times during grad school and was with me every step of the way.

When you have a twin you always have a close sibling. Alyson and I have been close our entire lives. We don't see each other as often as we used to, since she moved to Austin. I wouldn't want to be up there without her and am so happy that she agreed to be in my wedding party.
Groomsman
I met Matt about a year and a half ago at the game store we both frequent. We quickly became friends and we were hanging out almost every week. As the youngest in my family it's been great having a "younger brother."
Groomsman
I met Mike over 6 years ago during my freshman year of college. Throughout the rest of my undergrad we were always together. Whether it was just hanging out or studying. He has been one of the closest friends for the longest.
