Maid of Honor
I met Sarah in our sorority, Theta, at Belmont, we were fast friends. We have shared countless laughs, Sunday fundays, girls' nights out, mani pedis, long walks and talks, some tears through hard times, and celebrating all of the holidays together year round. I am so thankful for Sarah's friendship and that we have only grown closer since graduation.

I met Sarah in our sorority, Theta, at Belmont, we bonded immediately. She is always down for an adventure, a concert in the city or comedy show at Zanies, having a Sunday funday, making a trip to Costco, catching up over coffee and offering her support through challenging times. I adore her sense of humor, she is always making me laugh so hard it usually brings me to tears. I am so grateful for Sarah's friendship.

Nicole and I met as next door neighbors in the fourth grade when my family was living in Massachusetts. We figured out that our birthdays were only 22 hours apart so naturally we were destined to be best friends. We were constantly at each others' houses, playing games outside, watching new episodes of Gilmore Girls, snacking on two scoops of ice cream after school (only at Nicole's house) and playing with our beloved American Girl dolls. Moving to a new high school in Chicago and leaving Nicole on our shared cul de sac was extremely challenging and sad but we have remained close ever since. We have made many trips back and forth to visit each other over the years. I am so thankful for Nicole and our treasured friendship.

Bridgett and I became wonderful friends in high school. We were on the swim/dive and water polo teams together. We bonded over our love of baking and sweets. We have shared countless adventures together from skipping school senior year to make a beach trip to the dunes, seeing shows in Chicago, making many successful shopping trips and just spending quality down time together. We have been able to maintain our strong friendship apart during and after college. It's always a delight to visit each other and we are able to pick up right where we left off.

Kala and I became friends in high school. We really bonded during our senior year when she joined the swim team. There is something about balancing school while having two grueling swim practices a day, traveling to swim meets during the school week and eating the most you have ever eaten before that can really cement a friendship. We always laugh about how it was her first and last season. Fast forward to current day and we are both nurses in Nashville. Kala is now a CRNA student but started her nursing career in the Vanderbilt NICU and had truly found her niche, she absolutely loved it. She introduced me to the unit when I shadowed her during a night shift and I am proud to say that I too have had wonderful experiences working there for the past three years. Kala is a wonderful friend!

I met Kayla freshman year of high school on the swim team. We became friends and bonded going through the rigors of Coach Joe's swim program together. We survived all four years of the St. Charles swim team and Kayla advanced on to swim in college. We kept in touch during college and eventually both of us ended up in Nashville together after graduation. We have had countless Nashville adventures together from picnics at the vineyard, attending shows and concerts, having girls' nights out, going on long walks and talks and simply catching up over a meal. It is so wonderful to have Kayla in Nashville and I am so thankful we have remained close throughout the years.

She is a intelligent, funny, dedicated, and most important caring individual. As my sister we have had our ups and downs but the foundation of our relationship was formed by our parents. In the adult years we have found more things in common, with music being the most. I couldn’t be more proud to have her in my life and soon to be our lives
Best Man
I couldn’t ask for a better man to welcome Joanna into our family. His love for me has never wavered through the roughest parts of my youth. He didn’t give up on me even when I gave up on myself. This love he shows is rare to find and is what you want in a best man, but most importantly my dad.

“Pa” as he is known for on the hill is a man I have always looked up too. From our breakfasts dates with Jr. to coffee with the Judge, as a young man I always felt welcomed with the crowd. I cherish those moments now more then ever as the small amount of time I see them gets shorter. I couldn’t have asked for a better grandpa and I am so fortunate to have him here to celebrate this moment with us.

Not only is Mark a great mentor for me he is also my godfather. Growing up with the Snyder’s was a privilege as the family always welcomed our family into there lives. Mark is a kind hearted man that will do anything for anyone. He has shown me how to have fun “burnouts on doc seargent rd” to letting me have a freebie on FF, but also keeping me guided spiritually and emotionally. I’m excited to have the Snyder’s here for this moment as I get to start a family, just like the family I saw the Snyder’s have.

Alex and I friendship Is like my fathers and Marks. Met at Walmart and we have formed a close relationship in a short time. I see a lot of myself in Alex. I’m excited for him as he recently got engaged himself and they are starting their journey together. When we first met I asked him if he would ever get married, he said “no” with a lot of confidence. It’s amazing how our hearts change when you meet the right one. I know he has is one as do I, in Joanna.
