Maid of Honor
Tara and I first met almost 15 years ago at a mutual friends bachelor party! Oh the irony! I immediately noticed what beautiful hair she had and wanted to be her friend. Sounds silly, but a girl with pin straight hair looking at a girl with luscious curls; we had to be friends! Since then we've developed a friendship like no other! Shes my travel partner, my hair and makeup consultant and the only person that understands my love for Britney Spears! It also helps we wear the same size shoe, love the same red lipstick, and share a love for a good glass of wine. Throughout the years her friendship has shaped me into the person I am today! Beautiful inside and out my best friend is a rockstar!
Best Man
Conrad and I met when we were both two years old. Even though we have lived in different states for most of our friendship, we have remained close. One thing that remains constant no matter how far apart we live, is our passion for the Buffalo Bills. Sure it makes us crazy, but its something that has kept us together. Conrad has been a "brother from another mother" and has been there for me when I've needed him most. Since I was best man for Conrad at his wedding, its his turn and I couldn't think of anyone better for the job.
Bridesmaid
I've known Shelly now for almost 10 years! We bonded in the back of a pickup truck on our way to a 4th of July party. Thank god she needed a ride! People say that every brunette needs a blonde in their life, and I sure hit the jackpot! Speaking of jackpot, did I mention we both love Vegas! Besides being beautiful, Shelly is one of the hardest working women that I know. In her spare time she works as a wedding planner, so this wedding will hopefully be a little break for her. She truly has been an amazing friend and I can't wait to see what her future holds!
Groomsman
I met Clayton in fourth grade. I don't really remember much from that time but our friendship has stayed strong. Growing up together was fun. We were together pretty much all the time and always found ways to make each other laugh. Whether it was dressing up as mafia men for Halloween, watching my cat wink at Clay (seriously the cat only did that when he was over), or the time we heard a monster in my basement, Clay and I have had a great time over the years. People used to tell us we looked alike as kids. Never figured out why, but he's a heck of a guy!
Bridesmaid
Melissa and I met "again" at a bowling alley 15 years ago! I say again because we actually have known each other since I was 10. We lived a few blocks away from each other and didn't realize our brothers were friends. Fast forward 15 years later, and we have created the wildest, craziest, most non judgmental bond anyone could have! She loves the color green and dislikes watermelon flavored anything. She loves the Miami Dolphins but supports me and my New York Jets addiction. She's an incredible athlete who continues to amaze me each and every day!
Groomsman
Even though I've known Greg since middle school, we really didn't become close friends until about seven years ago. While we don't get to see each other as often as we like living in different states, every time we get hang out we pick up right where we left off. Greg has been a great friend and when I was able to be part of his wedding day, I'm so glad he will be part of mine.
Bridesmaid
Ness as I call her, well she is my cousin! We're exactly 6 months apart. She's the closest thing to what a sister would be for me. There are times we don't talk for a while with our busy schedules, but the moment I need her she is there. When we were younger we were obsessed with press on nails and making miniature Mcdonald's hamburgers. When I would visit her in New York we would get up every morning and walk to a strip mall near her house, get bagels and buy every package of press on nails we could get our hands on! We sure have come a long way! We share a mutual love for good food and a great time! I can always count on her to support me with anything I do and I love her for that! Brains and beauty that is my cousin Vanessa!
Groomsman
I've known Mike basically my whole life. Spoiler alert! He's my brother! Growing up together was fun. We played, camped, and he would always let me tag along even though I'm the "younger brother." There was the occasional fight but thats what brothers do. Whenever I've needed something or had a question, its always "Ask Mike." Even when you think theres no way he'll know the answer he does! On this special day, I couldn't imagine not having Mike apart of it. Who knows, I might have a question!
