Maid of Honor
Myia and I have known each other for years and it all started with a weird kid (me) saying hi to a stranger every day. This turned into a friendship I cherish more than anything--from sleepovers to pretending to be chefs to starting a portfolio (literally one of the best photographers ever) and now to the happiest day of my life. She has been by my side since the first person I ever dated to the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. If you ever need an adventure buddy, this may be your girl--everyone needs a Myia in their life, but not mine.
Best Man
The man, the myth, the legend, THE Chase Sommers. I actually met Chase through mutual friends and only knew his name, not him personally. We hit it off pretty well leading to us and our mutual friend being the trio you saw at every gathering. Chase and I have been through so many ups and downs throughout the years, but when the rest of the group went their separate ways, Chase and I stayed close. To this day, I know he is only a phone call away.
Bridesmaid
I met Cameron through Tyler and at first didn't know how to feel because I'm not a huge fan of meeting new people. We may not have years on end of friendship under our belts, but have gotten extremely close in what seems like a matter of minutes and I wouldn't change a thing about it. I am so grateful to be able to have a friend that is five (yes, five) years younger than me and it not feel strange or old around. Cameron has been through quite a few things with us and has almost never failed to be right there or on the other end of a phone call for us.
Groomsman
Mason and I met through Chase and I got to hear all of their crazy stories, but never got close with him until two years later when we spent a few months living near the beach on a horse trainers farm waiting out the COVID lockdown. While down there, we got to know each other better and I realized he wasn't the wild child everyone said he was--he just knew how to have fun at ALL costs. After lockdown, he helped me get a job ranching again and has been a constant check in person. He is just another brother to me.
Bridesmaid
Ah the wonders online dating apps bring us--friends we didn't know we needed. Sarah is another amazing photographer who has so graciously added me to her portfolio. She is one of those friends that is usually there for you if she's by her phone, a bestie for the rest-y. Shoutout to Sarah for always putting up with Tyler and I on our lunch dates that turn into outings where we run around like chickens with our heads cut off and for liking me enough to get matching tattoos.
Groomsman
Blake grew up around the ball fields just like me, so we met pretty young. We both thought we ran the town, "lil slim" and I, but as the years went on we grew up and reconnected through mutual friends. Shelby thinks it's strange how similar we were--we both partied, lived at the Glass household (our friends parents who are like family to us), and decided to be ranchers on cattle farms. We'd go months without a call or text, but the moment we saw each other again it was like no time had passed. He's always been family to me and will never refuse a dirt road ride--this is why he became another part of my ever growing family.
Bridesmaid
Lori and I met years ago in a very strange way and we clashed heads plenty, but we've gotten to know each other more since Tyler is like her family. She is a very ambitious and wild person who knows how to party (watch out for her at the reception). I value this friendship so much and know that we've got each others back if ever needed.
Groomsman
Our friendship dates back to middle school, when he loved hanging out with the older kids (including me). He's always been the baby of the group, yet stayed the most level headed of the group. Since we met, Hunter has always wanted to join the military and followed through with it soon after high school. For that, thank you for your service. Hunter partied with us occasionally, but when the party life was too hectic, he'd always be there to calm down and chill with. His family labeled me as one of theirs, as mine has him, so calling him brother just came easy.

If you want to hear a funny backstory on how I met anyone, ask Ali. We have known each other for years, since we were single digit ages at Armory Gymnastics and stayed in touch through summer camp at Camp Chandler with Titans. We were in different cities and couldn't drive ourselves so we lost touch for a few years and came back together in 2018 at the wonderful Montgomery parking lot parties. If you ever need someone to go out and get Mexican food and margs with, Ali is your girl.
Groomsman
I met Sean in elementary school at Bear Exploration Center and it's been an adventure ever since. We went to the same middle school and got close in high school when I practically moved in with his family from being at his house 24/7. There are plenty of stories about our days growing up together and getting into trouble, so find him and ask for one or two--you might regret the length though. Even after graduation, we were roommates in a couple different houses and constantly got mistaken as brothers, but he's practically family, so it doesn't phase me. I couldn't imagine this day without my sidekick, little brother, riding partner, and my shoulder to lean on.
