Matron of Honor
Abby and I grew up across the street from each other and little did 8 year old me know how much of a blessing this girl and her entire family would become in my life. Abby quickly became more like the sister I never had and I found myself at the Fowler family dinner table at least once or twice a week growing up. Abby has been my best friend, sister and someone I can always count on (even while living hundreds of miles a part). Abby asked me to be her maid on honor two years back and it's extra special to now have her next to me on my wedding day!
Best Man
As a young kid you always dreamed of having an older brother. Someone who you would want to hang out with, someone that would have your back, and someone who you could always count on. My brother Andre met all of those standards and exceeded them. I am very fortunate to have him be apart of my life.

Forever the MaryAnn to my Wanda - there's not a phase of life that I've walked without this girl right by my side and my wedding day is no exception. From grade school and running around the farm as kids to bachelor degrees, full-time jobs and all the other fun "adult things". 18 years of friendship is something I hold close to my heart. I've often told her everyone needs a Jess Devilbiss is their life because there are few like her, she is the best listening ear and somehow always perfectly times her snail mail to be pick-me-up you didn't know you needed.

Where do I even start….. In life, God brings you friends that turn into family. Thomas became family within the first few months of meeting each other. From the age of six until now, he has been someone I could always count on. He is someone I will always see as my brother. If you ever wonder if we are still hanging around, don’t worry…… you will hear us coming from a mile away.

I was lucky enough to grow up with cousins who doubled as best friends and Marysa is one of them. I have to thank her for being the one to always laugh through the craziness of our family with me. Marysa has always been a text or phone call away no matter what, something I take full advantage of. I can honestly say we've been with each other through the highest of highs and lowest of lows. No matter where life has taken us we've always talked on a daily basis whether it's catching up on life or complaining about how the barista messed up our morning coffee and now we get to chat about all the wedding things. I'm happy to have her be apart of this day.

Mr. Sweetheart himself…. Matt has been my right hand man since high school. He has been an important person in my life and now Brittany’s as well. Matt and I have created memories that will last forever. I will never forget when he fell down a flight of steps….. I still laugh thinking about it today. From driving the Ole’ Ford to being one of the best Uncle’s for Emma, we are very lucky to have him in our life.

Oh where do I start?! My wild one... I love this girl to pieces and trust her with everything I have (literally with my life back in the cheerleading days). I can't even begin to recount the memories and laughs we've had together over the years. I always know if I'm with Lex we're going to have fun and laugh until we cry, whether we were stuck in the car for a 5 hour drive to a cheer competition or at a club in NYC I can always count on her for a good time. One of my favorite things about our friendship is whether its 3 days, 3 weeks or 3 months since we last talked it's always like we didn't skip a beat and no time has passed. I couldn't imagine my wedding day without her!

My Uncle Wilson has been someone that has always been special to me. Someone I looked up to as a kid and lucky to be doing the same in my adult life. From watching me play sports to golfing with each other, the memories that have been made will last forever.

Hales - She was the "new kid" in 7th but it didn't take long for us to become best friends. You know those people you meet in life who you click with instantly, she was one of those people. An instant best friend. When I think about Haley a flood of memories come to mind (fireball, senior week and a trip to the emergency room is one of them) but one thing's for sure is that she's always been there. In middle school it was easy to hangout everyday but as we got older life can quickly can busy. Whether days, weeks or months go by I know I can pickup the phone and she will be there.

Nick has been a good friend of mine since the lacrosse days. He has provided me with endless laughs and memories. Nick will never say no to the party and always makes sure we have a good time. I can’t thank him enough to always be the one to host the “Boys Makin Noise”.

Let's rewind to my first day at a new school in third grade. Autumns locker was right next to mine, she turned to me at the end of the day and said "Hi, I'm Autumn do you wanna be my friend" and now here we are 18 years later. I had to opportunity to stand by Autumn in her wedding day and I am so happy to have her stand by me on mine. From third grade to weddings and babies I am so thankful to have a friend like Autumn to go through the phases of life with. I can also always count on my girl to be down for a Target run with me.

My buddy Tommy is someone that has been by my side from day one. He is someone I am proud to call a friend. When he joined the military, he made all of us proud. I will always remember him standing in the parking lot of Carroll Hospital waiting for Emma to be born. He has always been a true friend.

Alexa is the absolute sweetest and most thoughtful friend a girl could have. We met Junior year of college when she was assigned to share a dorm with me. It's not often you get lucky enough to have a randomly assigned roommate become a best friend. Two years living together in college feels like a lifetime of memories that we share... we could laugh all night reliving all the stories. I'm incredibly thankful Stevenson brought me this friendship and even more thankful to have her be a part of my wedding day!

My cousin Mario is someone I talk to on the daily basis. He has helped me succeed in life more than he knows. From giving simple advice, to always lending a hand to me when I was in school. I can’t thank him enough, and glad that he is apart of this special day.

Boy did Thomas hit the jackpot with this one. Little Tom may be my cousin but he has also been a good friend since we were little. I have to give thanks to him for bringing Julia into the family. Julia is the most chill and go with the flow girl I have ever met and I absolutely love that about her. She is truly the perfect element of calm in our crazy chaotic family. I now get to call her my neighbor which has been so much fun! I can always count on her to help me reign in "our idiots" and I'm so happy she will be sharing our special day with us!

Our Den is our kind soul of the group. When I first met Brittany, she always would say how much Daniel meant to her as her brother. After meeting him, I could see why she felt the way she did. I am glad to have him by my side for this special day.

Mama bear - In our college apartment Amanda was known as the mama bear and I still til this day look at her this way. Amanda will not only knock someone out for you if you say the word, she is also the person who will offer to make you some tea when you are sick and I love her for that. She has the best heart and shows it to the people she loves. I'm incredibly thankful senior year of college introduced me to her and our friendship has grown since.

Our boy DUMPS. Dumps has always had a special place in me and Brittany’s heart. Being the little brother of a family is not easy. When I met Brittany, she never warned me about Daniel. But, she did warn me about Dumps. I have had the pleasure of coaching his basketball team this year. To say the least, it is something I will always cherish.
