Maid of Honor
Through thick and thin, including navigating the daily craziness of teaching tiny humans, MLZ is the friend you'd be lucky to have by your side. Never one to shy away from a group costume or a perfect top bun, Marisa looks after all her friends and family as any true MVP would, always ready to pull you in for a hug. Her secret skills include solid tv recommendations (credit for Mare of Easttown and Ted Lasso), a delicious green bean recipe, and not so secretly, a voracious love of Diet Coke.
Bridesmaid
Down for any and all adventures suggested to her, Jada is the perfect 'Little Sis' a girl could've asked for. When she willingly watched Little Miss Sunshine with me in my dorm, I knew memories would be abundant including waiting in a nonexistent line for 3Oh!3 tickets, and driving to Utah for the Holi Color Fest. Her secret skills include designing a beautiful bar cart, curing a hangover with homeopathic remedies, and evolving from barely drinking outside to traversing national parks for fun!
Bridesmaid
The happiest place on Earth made even happier with Brooke as my roommate. Many days were spent exploring Disney World, searching for the perfect chips and queso, and experiencing the best display of decorated Christmas trees. We share a love of the Vampire Diaries but disagree on Brooke's (unnecessary) hatred of all things pickles. Her secret skills include taking pictures on mopeds, getting into mischief on party busses, and knowing the best times for long distance friendship calls.
Best Man
Thomas and I became best friends my freshmen year in high school. I was new to the school and I sat right next to him and saw he liked motocross so I started talking to him and the rest is history. Through the years we have done everything; went to Hawaii, hung out with Rebelution after one of their shows, and tons of other memories. I couldn't have asked for a better friend to have in my corner through all the ups and downs life has given me, which is why he is my best man.
Groomsman
My cousin Ryan and I have been super close since we were kids. When we played tee-ball together, we pretended to shoot each other and acted like we died in the middle of the game until our dads yelled at us. Things like this have been the history of our relationship, having such a similar personality and sense of humor. When we were teenagers, we used to stay up all night playing video games and cracking jokes until our parents went nuts, and nothing has changed except now our fiances think we are crazy.
Groomsman
Daniel and I met when I first started racing motocross. He had just turned professional and I thought that it was so badass. We had a mutual friend that introduced us and after that Daniel, Thomas, and I used to ride and race dirt bikes every weekend. Seeing Daniel go from being a buddy I used to clown around with after school, to becoming a father, and even my boss for a while has been a pleasure.
Groomsman
Dallas is friend with whom I have a unique bond with. I knew right away he had the same sense of humor as me and he appreciated making people laugh. From jiu jitsu tournaments, to Country Thunder, and everything in between, Dallas is one of the most loyal people I have ever known. One thing I will never forget is when we were cutting weight for a jiu jitsu tournament, both miserable from running in sauna suits for hours, we broke down and asked his dad to take us to Chipotle so we could eat. Needless to say we had to cut weight all over again.
Groomsman
Jared is a friend I did not meet until later in life but feels like I have known him forever. When we started working together, we both found out we had pretty much all the same interests. He would show me a Youtube video that I thought only I knew about, and then we would crack up laughing in our work van. At least once per day, Jared and I will send each other something sending each other down rabbit holes of videos and memes . From going to concerts, Vegas, and living together for a short time, Jared and I have had some good times together and I know we will have a bunch more.
