Maid of Honor
Kira and I grew up around the corner from each other but as we got older we didn't see much of each other since Kira was a few grades younger. About 7 years ago, Kira showed up at the barn to take riding lessons from me. Ever since, Kira has been the greatest friend I could ever ask for. From late night hangouts at home to nights out on the town, support when I've needed it through vet school and taking care of the horses as if they were her own. Kira has been AMAZING in her role as my Maid of Honor and I couldn't be more thankful for her friendship!
Bridesmaid
Dana and I met when we were 4 years old, she is one of my original "horse friends". If you asked Dana what her first memory of me is, she would tell you "the tiny kid in the ring with the GIANT pink bows in her hair". We spent countless weekends at the barn playing horseless horse shows and others at actual horse shows. We lost touch for a few years as we were growing up but fate brought us back together when we ended up back at the same barn again. Since then we are back to our old shenanigans including riding out a category 5 hurricane together in St. Kitts!
Bridesmaid
I met Devyn when she was about 9 years old when she came to me as a student. She was the smallest, most adorable kid with AMAZING equitation. She quickly became one of my favorite students as she has as much passion for the sport and the horses as I do. We have spent countless hours at the barn and horse shows together and she has become Majors go to girl when I'm not home. 7 years later Devyn has become the little the sister I never had.
Bridesmaid
Jess and I met when her and my brother started dating about 3 years ago. Even though I was forced to get to know her through FaceTime and my short trips home between semesters, she quickly became a close friend. She has been my voice of reason many times throughout the planning process and has stopped me from losing my mind on many occasions. She even faced SO MANY cows, a mountain with no cell service or lights and "really nice" people on her trek to Virginia to help me pick out my dress. I can't thank my brother enough for bringing this girl into my life.

Danielle is not only one of my cousins but she is one of my greatest friends. Whether its tailgating at country concerts, bar hopping in Philly or spending holidays together with family, its always a little more fun when we are together! She made sure to check in with me regularly while I was planning to make sure that I wasn't too stressed and was ready to take on any job if needed. Im incredibly lucky to have her by my side on this special day!
Bridesmaid
Kristin is Samson's sister and my future sister! We first met in Orlando where we instantly hit it off wine tasting.(No awkward first time meeting your boyfriends sister vibes at that bar that day!) Kristin and I have silent disco'd in Tokyo, gotten drunk on Butterbeers in Diagon Alley and sipped cocktails on the beach in St. Kitts. She has been so welcoming to me and extremely helpful in planning the wedding!! I couldn't be happier to have her as a sister.
Best Man
Brian and I met on our first flight down to St. Kitts for vet school, where we then ended up in the same orientation group and quickly becam great friends. We spent countless hours studying for exams, practicing surgical skills, drinking on the beach and golfing next to the ocean. Brian is actually the one responsible for pointing Nicole out to me one day while eating lunch on campus! I am lucky to have found a brother on St. Kitts and couldn't be more proud to have him stand by my side on this special day! Nicole and Brian have also become extremely close which makes him a very special Best Man for us!

Nick was also one of the first friends I met down in St. Kitts and a native Long Islander so him and Nicole made quick friends as well. Nick is always the go to guy for a good time, whether its Catamaran trips on the Caribbean Sea, partying all night in downtown Miami or having a couple beers on the beach. He stood and danced up on stage with me dressed as Princess Leia once, and now he is standing up with me at the altar!

My brother and I first met about 20 years ago. He was pretty small back then with weird yellow skin....I really thought he was an alien, turns out he was just jaundice. Even though he turned out to be just a regular little brother, we've shared many intense video game sessions (and other great times) together. I am proud to be his brother and have him stand up with me on my Wedding Day!

Frankie is Nicole's brother and my future brother. We met on my first trip to New York which was pretty awesome but, not as awesome as freezing our butts off together while watching the Macy's Day Parade on my second trip! Whether we are solving puzzles to escape a haunted cabin or harassing our Uber driver in downtown Miami, we always have a good time together. Im excited to be gaining another brother and to have him standing with me on this special day!

Paul is one of my oldest friends. We met back at E.C. Glass High School where we spent countless hours practicing our swing for the golf team. Over the last 9 year, I have spent what has become my favorite 4 days of the year with him and his family on their annual Myrtle Beach trip. Im excited to have such a loyal buddy supporting me on my big day!
