Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride When I first met Tess at a Toohill family party I thought, "I hope Ian marries her." A few years later they tied the knot! Since then we have been partners in crime. Whether its game night or Lizzo comes to town, Tess will be there!

Cousin of the Groom As corny as it sounds, Ian isn't just my cousin, but he's also one of my best friends. We have shared many laughs and great adventures over the years, and I couldn't be more proud to call him family. From long conversations about video games and movies, to working many receptions at Town and Country Catering, to being able to be a part of his wedding party on his special day, there are so many moments that I hold dear and I am thrilled to have him stand with me on my special day.

Sister of the Bride What is our sisterly relationship like you ask? Well our favorite story is when mom and dad brought me home for the fist time Tine ran up to me to meet me and BAM, I kicked her in the face. That pretty much set the tone.... sorry Tine. Always a surprise. Tine is someone I can always go to no matter what. By blood or law, you are my sister.

Friend of the Groom I can always count on Conner for a good pun. Obviously, I'm not just having him as groomsman because of his wit, but because he is one of my best friends. When Conner used to work for the WCIA morning show, there was a morning I got a call from him around 9:30, asking if I was ready to hang out. What I like most about Conner is he puts family and friends first, always willing and able to hang out at a moments notice. From camping trips, to lunch's at Parkland college, Conner has always been there, and I am thrilled he will be at my wedding!

Friend of the Bride I fist met Brianna the summer before high school, we were both in Seussical the Musical, Brianna played the very important role of Max (the Grinch's dog). Little did we know we were going to the same high school and would be inseparable. Even though Brianna went to Chicago and I went to the east coast we are always able to pick up where we left off. Endless adventures with this one fill my heart with happiness. Here's to my favorite "Max"!

Friend of the Groom From the moment Derek and I met, I just knew he was going to be one of my best friends. In high school and college, I could always count on Derek for a ride to whatever friend gathering or event we were both going to. I honestly always cherished those rides because it gave me an opportunity to have a good conversation with a great friend. I am extremely lucky to have him as a friend, and I look forward to many good conversations and hang outs in the future.

Cousin of the Groom Lauren and I first met at school when I moved to Champaign, we were both in Music Man the Musical. Lauren was sweet and made me feel welcome at this new school. Little did I know I would start dating her cousin a few years later. Lauren's infectious laugh will have you smiling for days! Thank you for sharing your big heart with me.

Cousin of the Groom For whatever reason, the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Cole is being at a Toohill family party, playing video games, and Cole getting so into the game that he has to stand up and start to bop up and down in almost a dance-like fashion. Cole and I have been to numerous family parties, played a number of videos games, and been to a lot of Cardinals baseball games where, inevitably, we would have to go in and out of the ball park multiple times in order to get as many bobble heads, or whatever they are giving out they day, as we can. I am honored to have him in my wedding party.

Sister of the Groom I am so proud to have Allie as a sister. I have had the pleasure of watching her grow up to the woman she is today. Our relationship is a classic brother and sister relationship. We always have each other's backs, even if it seems like we are opposites of one another. She is kind, intelligent and has a tremendous heart. I am so happy that Megan asked her to be a bridesmaid, and I am so happy that she will be with me on my special day.

Cousin of the Groom Cameron is one of the wisest people that I know, and a great friend. I have known him for quite some time, as you can imagine, and he is someone that I have always looked up to. He is fiercely intelligent and full of compassion for his family and friends. I was honored that he asked me to be an usher at his wedding, and I wanted to make sure I returned the favor by asking him to be a part of my wedding day. If you want a good laugh, ask him about the time he spilled a chocolate smelling beer one me at a family party!

Cousin of the Bride Growing up hundreds of miles away from cousins and family is hard, but the annual trips to Topsail and Pennsylvania always brought us together and picked up where we left off. Cell phones have really helped us keep in touch over the years. Having a best friend/ cousin just a call or text away is amazing. Whether it is about relationships, school or jobs Drew is always there for support. Here's to you cuz!

Friend of the Groom I have known Andrew since kindergarten, but our friendship really started to form in high school. What I admire most about Andrew is he genuinely always seems to just want to have a good time with his friends. There are a number of stories I could tell about us, but the most important thing about those stories is they always seem to end with us laughing. I couldn't imagine getting married without Andrew being there. He is, without a doubt, the life of the party!
