Although Krista now lives in Arizona, Krista and I still talk on the daily and she is such a great friend. I am so excited to have her in my wedding party! ❤️Marisha

We have similar passions in work, love lots of the same things, and have had a lot of fun together in the past year. Many memories have been made! After moving to Kansas City with Guy this year, we found out Kelsey and her husband were also moving to Kansas City. I was so excited and we have loved having them close again! We have grown even closer and I am so happy Kelsey will be there for our big day! ❤️Marisha
