Maid of Honor
Nicole has been my side since her day one, literally. My younger, wiser, and smarter younger sister! We are alike in so many ways but also complete opposites - seriously it's so fascinating. Nicole is sweet, thoughtful, caring, and the best friend and sister and I could have asked for. I am so proud of the woman, wife, and mom she is. From family vacations to sister trips; times spent at Balsam Lake; our first real jobs at the flower shop (yes, we worked together at flowerama!); hours spent playing outside or with dolls growing up, random weekend hang outs, visits in college, any holiday, our own vacations, it's always been her and I - side by side. We support each-others dreams, goals and do everything we can to make sure they are achieved. And now for one of the biggest days of my life, I can't wait for her to stand next to me as my maid of honor.

From the first time we met, I knew we'd be best friends - my baby bff to be specific. We met our freshman year of college and haven't looked back since. It was also in college where we also coined meGANJE - it's megan and then allie's maiden name (don't ask, it fits though perfectly) Outside of Prestin and my immediate family, there isn't anyone else that I've spent so many consecutive days with ever. We just get each other. Allie is hilarious, fun, down to do or try anything and just an amazing person to do life with. We also are fortunate enough to now work together so literally for the past 15 years and so between work and personal life, we're never not talking, planning something, or doing something.

One of main reasons, I made it in NYC. We were (and still are) are each others go to for everything. my roommate for 4 years and the mother of my favorite dog in the world, marley. from renting private karaoke room, runs, montauk trips, and completing 5 different half marathons in different states, there is never a dull moment. I miss aimlessly walking with you in the city never knowing what we'd get into or what we'd find. We were there for some of the best and most interesting times - basically our entire 20's. We'd go rollerblading every night, so much so we had a crew that cheered for us, and one time we ran into each-other right next to a bellied up rat. You get the need for both dirty rap music, country and 90s and i love that. It's through Britt that I am part of the most wonderful group of people, the social six. If you don't know, ask and someone will tell you. hi guys.

You will not meet a more caring, thoughtful, and better friend and human than Britta. Try it, I dare you. She's the first person to ask how you're doing, how she can help, always makes everything extra special, gives solid advice. Since 10th grade, Britta and I have been best friends and done life together is always down to do anything - walking, running errands, girls night, or just hanging out. We have been there for each other through everything. Britta is a spitfire - she's quick and she doesn't like to lose. We love that about her. We are going to join a pickleball league this fall. Prestin promised to make us dinner after every week - we cannot wait!

We wouldn't be here today if it weren't for Cameo. Cameo suggested I go on a date with Prestin, and pushed again, and maybe one more time until it happened. And dammit, she was right. My sounding board, equally as crazy, oddly calming, best friend and go to. Cameo and I have been in constant communication (and i am talking every single platform out there, even vine at one time) since well since I can remember. We enjoy doing everything together - you name it, we've likely done it or tried. check out #mameoruntheworldtour hashtag on IG if you're bored (note: we haven't kept it up, we could do better) One of our favorite pastimes is sitting on the couch, usually in silence - I'm only slightly joking, We also enjoy cooking (she cooks, i eat) and just talking about nonsense and life. fun fact: I made it 4 words into my speech at her wedding. instant tears after. She didn't make me finish it, thankfully.

at age 3 I proclaimed to my preschool class that I have a best friend at her name is Leah. I had met Leah the day before when my parents and I were visiting the house they were building right next door to Leah. And honestly, since then nothing has changed. Leah and I have done it all from youth basketball, to sleepovers, holiday's, our first college visits, you name it. Each other's homes were our second homes. We've been there for each others biggest milestones - graduations, moves, celebrations and more. We never let distance get in the way and make sure to see eachother regularly. When Leah moved to DC I was in NYC so only a short train/bus ride away - I miss being that close. On May 25, we celebrated 30 years of friendship - 30! We know this because it's handwritten on a calendar from 1993.

Tara and I first played basketball together at school and on a traveling team grade in 8th grade. Fast forward a couple years and I had asked Tara if she wanted to join the parks and rec basketball league with me, for whatever reason she agreed (completely and utterly unlike her so we're happy she said yes) and well since then we've been up to zero good. no seriously, we have. Life. FL trips, NY visits, and whatever else we manage to get into. Tara's amazing witty and rather dry sense of humor is often wasted on me (her words, not mine) She knows me better than myself most of the time and she gives really solid advice (not that I take it ) Tara and I throughly enjoy deep-diving into particular topics and theories. We are completely different people, seriously, it's crazy but still remain best friends.

Our lovable, happy, fearless, Calan. Prestin and I enjoy hanging out with you, giggling, and more. You're always on the go, so Megan misses holding and carrying you around but you're now big enough to join in on wrestling with Prestin. Watching you grow to the chatty, knowledgable, sweet, full of emotion, has been fun. Prestin and I still love watching the video of you first saying "turtle" two years ago. Calan is the son of Prestin's Sister, Lyndsi Ringel and her husband & Prestin's Groomsman, Ryan Ringel.
Flower Girl
Our main girl. cheerful, silly and determined Evyn. We love you and enjoy watching your little personality develop and hanging out with you. This winter you'll be big enough now to do outdoor activities with the big kids. You sure are getting so big and you sure do give your brother a run - they're going to need to watch out someday, likely soon. You know what you want, we love that, and usually will make sure that you get it. Evyn is the daughter of Lyndsi and Ryan Ringel, Prestin's sister.
Ring Bearer
We cannot wait for you to be part of our big day. You're going to make the most handsome little ring bearer. We enjoy hearing of your every growing list of interests and seeing you in action with them when we see you. We'll make sure to bring a few costumes out so you can tear up the dance floor with them. Your most recent addition, a park ranger, will be such a hit. Ez is the son of Nikkole Schwichtenberg, Prestin's sister.

Our little firecracker and full of spunk, auntie meg and uncle prestin love hanging out with you - although it still makes Megan laugh how once Prestin comes into the room, you're all about him.

We are thankful you are no longer into baby shark and will just wait to see what song you'll keep asking to play "again" over and over.
