Maid of Honor
To sum up my relationship with my dearest little sister, I shall leave our latest conversation: Maggie: Don't use Margarita on the website. Me: oh you want me to change it? Of course. Maggie: Don't put Pancake!!! Me: *laughing as I finished typing the name Pancake before she finished the sentence* Oh Maggie, my ride of die, double to my trouble, my Bisquick Pancake. Thank you for being my monster of hon...I mean my maid of honor. I can't wait to do the same for you. Thank you for being my person.
Best Man
Through Boy Scouts and Ascension Catholic School, we remained friends at a distance. That is until we both joined the contemporary band at church. That was the start of many musical and non-musical (mis)adventures together and we've been with each other through thick and thin, drunk and sober. Friends till the end. Ryan is due to be a father and the baby's due date just happens to be the day of the wedding! While Ryan won't be able to attend the ceremony, there is no one I would rather have as my Best Man.
Bridesmaid
We met in biology lab when we were partnered up because we were sitting next to each other. After class we discovered we lived in the same on campus apartment complex and walked home together, chatting about everything and anything we could think of. After a few week of that, I invited her inside for lunch and afterwards she, Maggie, and I were our own inseparable family. From our little family dinners, all-night study sessions, blackouts, and candlelight bonfires, I am so proud to have her stand with me on my wedding day.

Ryan and I have been great friends since 2007. We met through the Order of the Arrow, the Boy Scout honor society, where Ryan was a few years ahead of me. Since then we've done countless OA ceremonies together, Native Drum sessions, and a decade's worth of summer lifeguarding at Cub Scout Day Camp. If night after night of video games and wandering around Walmart at 1 AM have taught us anything, it's that you will always be one of my closest friends.
Bridesmaid
Anyone who knows me knows how family oriented I am and how much I value being very close with my siblings. I grew up with three sisters, two older, one younger and the thing about sisters is there is no doubt about them being your best friends for life, no matter how much you annoy them and vice versa because the love always outweighs any and all obstacles in the relationship and I’m very happy to say that’s exactly the relationship I have found in my soon to be sisters in law and I’m so pleased to have Amy stand next to me on one of the most important days of my life.

Michael and I both attended West Shore Jr/Sr High together which is where I convinced him to become more involved with the Order of the Arrow by helping out in some local ceremonies. Since then, we became friends and attended OA events regularly together and both joined the Theater Tech Crew at school. We've had great times over many weekends, between shows, OA weekends at Camp La-No-Che, and game nights with great friends. Michael has always been a cheerful positive influence on me and continues to be there to support me, in the OA, at my graduation from USF, and now at my wedding.
Bridesmaid
I met Susie on the first day of eighth grade. I sat with her at lunch after recognizing her from my P.E. class as a friend of a friend of mine from elementary school. We became friends and that blossomed into the type of friendship that you know will last a lifetime. From being chorus ninjas together in high school to being neighbors in college and now to being parts in each others weddings. Forever one of my favorite people to chat with for hours at a time.

Patrick is one of my oldest friends. He has been with me since the day we met in Pre-K, through the years at Ascension, and High School at West Shore. Whether it was on Boy Scout camping trips with Troop 373, his first trip out of the country to Northern Tier in Canada, or just the countless afternoons hanging out after school, Patrick has always been smiling and positive. No matter how long its been, I always know we'll still be friends and I'm thankful to have him standing with me as I marry my best friend.
