Maid of Honor
We suffered through chemistry freshman year, which led to a life-long friendship as well as getting the same schedule to suffer through organic chemistry together the next year! We might have been Blaze Pizza's most frequent customers the last few years of college whenever we needed time to catch up or de-stress.
Bridesmaid
Our friendship started when St. Columba was our school, long before it was the ceremony site for one of our weddings! Kit is my oldest friend, and through the many years of friendship I have always admired Kit for her kindness, fashion sense, and calligraphy-like handwriting.
Bridesmaid
My college years wouldn't have been the same without Caroline as a friend and roommate. Our shared love of tacos, queso, and margaritas got us through some rough Aggie football losses. She single-handedly carried our team in Office-themed trivia, and can do the entire "Single Ladies" dance. We spent countless nights laughing about things no one else understood, and these will always be some of my favorite memories from college.
Bridesmaid
From school trips to Costa Rica and our first solo road trip, our friendship has been filled with lots of adventures. Elise has always been someone that not only listens, but is excited to talk about science, and our science-talk has only increased since she started medical school and I started my genetic counseling program. Her passion and drive are evident to everyone she meets.
Best Woman
I met Jyl the first week that I moved to Texas during high school. A decade later, our friendship is still inseparable. From cross-country road trips, walking miles to and from Sonic, and unmistakingly calling each other "bro" everywhere in public, our friendship proves that you can have a brother or sister outside of your family. Being there for each other at our worst times has made the great times all the more enjoyable because of a friendship that can't be shaken. Jyl has always said she's the honorary best man, and I couldn't imagine anyone more deserving to be standing up next to me!
Groomsman
Our friendship started when Matt found me asleep while studying on campus during my sophomore year at Texas A&M. It was exam week, and we probably thought it would be a short-lived study group relationship. Many exam weeks and years later, our friendship is still going strong. Being there for each other, almost inseparably, through school and beyond, our friendship is one of brotherhood. From 3am food runs to laying home foundation in the Texas desert during summer, breaking noses, and coaching each other on our wants in life, Matt has been a unique friend, and I'm honored to have no man greater to be up there with me!
Groomsman
I met HJ during more humble times when we got the same job painting houses while studying to become aerospace engineers. "It's not rocket science!" we probably said. Fast forward through our time at Texas A&M, we became great friends during the up-and-down-years of studying. Even greater friends after college, we have grown to be there for each other when it matters most. Even if it means driving between Dallas and Fort Worth just to get food and catch up, there is no distance we will not go to prove friendship is unbreakable!
Groomsman
Cameron was my second friend after moving to Texas, and that friendship has also crossed the country many times. Even when Cameron was moving often for his past hockey career after high school, I found a way to travel to him and keep the good times going. Cameron returned the favor many times by not only creating great stories to tell, but making memories that can't be forgotten. Much like the rest of my party, Cameron is proof that distance is just a number and true friendship is irreplaceable!
