Matron of Honor
Kayla is my older sister and best friend. From giving me unsolicited high school boyfriend advice and swapping clothes so many times we forgot what belongs to who, to surprising me with Taylor Swift floor tickets and flying across the country to take care of me when I needed her most, Kayla has had my back my entire life. She's the person I text for advice, to vent, to share funny memes and most importantly to see pictures of the cutest babies around. I can't imagine getting married with anyone else beside me.
Bridesmaid
Heather and I have been friends since middle school. Throughout middle and high school I all but lived with her and her parents. Heather and I would go to school together, get picked up together, go to gymnastics together and very often spend the night together and never once did we have a falling out or even a major fight (which as you know is quite a feat for teenage girls). Heather is one of those friends that I can go ages without seeing but when we finally get together we never miss a beat. I know without a doubt we will be friends for the rest of our lives.
Bridesmaid
When I first met Brooke she was one of the little girls at the gym that just annoyed me. I was older and in a higher level and she was always so loud and bouncy. It wasn't until she leveled up and ended up in my group that I realized how much fun that loud bouncy girl was! She quickly became one of my favorite people to be around and we started inviting her to our after practice slumber parties. No matter what I always have fun with this girl, Brooke can make me laugh like no one else! Brooke has a heart of solid gold and I'm lucky to call her one of my best friends.
Best Man
Cole is one of my oldest friends since moving to Tallahassee. We've shared a competitive drive and adventurous spirit that's only grown stronger over the course of the last decade. Originally introduced to me by Will Fuller, another groomsman, we've all been friends since our early days at FSU beginning as neighbors in the Wolf Creek subdivision bonding at Will's backyard parties. As we both became professionals in our respective careers, Cole's and my friendship has evolved to where we know we always have each other's backs and will always always be there for each other. He's the guy that always gives 100% and gives you a reason to strive to be better. Thankful to be able to call Cole my Best Man.
Groomsman
One of my oldest friends since moving to Tallahassee, Will and I originally met as neighbors in the Wolf Creek subdivision in 2005. Hitting it off originally over playing darts, going to the bars, and throwing holiday slip and slide parties between our houses, Will eventually became that "go-to" guy for me that's played a huge role in my life over the years. Everyone deserves to have that 1 friend that can be brutally honest with you and tell you exactly what you need to hear when you need to hear it, and I'm thankful Will has been one of those friends for me.
Groomsman
Despite having different parents, Greg has always been a brother to me. As kids, he was the typical big brother that was always better at everything; the legos he built were always bigger & better, he always beat me at every video game we played and he was always better at sports than me. Everything he did was always effortlessly better and of course I was jealous. Despite spending most of our teenage years apart, our relationship has blossomed as adults and continues to grow stronger every day. I'm proud to call Greg my brother, and I'm proud to have him stand next to me on my Wedding Day.
Groomsman
The youngest of my siblings, Chris always played a fascinating role as the younger brother between Greg and I when we were kids. Chris was into karate, fish tanks and playing video games, while I was into playing sports and collecting baseball cards. Needless to say, we didn't always have a lot in common. As we've gotten older I'm proud to say our connection has grown stronger through our many trips and excursions. I'm proud to have Chris stand next to me on my wedding day, and even prouder for him and his wife having a baby due this Summer!
