Maid of Honor
Ever since our first day of high school and finally getting past each other's weirdness, we've been inseparable! From our always memorable OBX trips to Kelly's Beach Retreat (that I hope will never end) and always being a shoulder to laugh and cry on, through thick and thin, this chick has been by my side!

My one and only baby sister who I've had the pleasure to go through this journey called life with! From watching Disney movies on a tiny little TV in the back of Dad's Honda during our cross-country road -trips, to being the best roomie in our Shirlington apartment, I couldn't have asked for a better partner in crime!
Bridesmaid
Could not have survived PITT without this girl! From nightly gym trips to the Pete, climbing Chesterfield, and comforting me every time I lost my McDonald's on Forbes, you were always by my side! Now our friendship is long-distance, but every time we catch up it's like she's right down the hall again! H2P!

We both began our NICU nurse journey together as fellowship buddies and ended up roomies! I also have you to thank for dragging me out to Clarendon that one November night, so I could showcase Robbie my killer dance moves ;)

We've been bfaw's (best friends at work) ever since our preceptor class and I don't think I could have survived some of those crazy nightshifts in room 3 without you! Thank you for pushing me every single day and for keeping me sane and in the loop each and every day!

I'm so happy the NICU, our love of wine and Pixar movies brought us together! I'll never forget our 4am talks about our futures and how we got each other through some of the hardest times! Seattle stole you away from me for a little while, but you're never to far for us to "wine" together ;)
Best Man
Ben and I met Freshman year and he was one of the first people I met in college (with Alex Ward) there is a famous story from this first encounter which I'm sure will be in the speech.... From then on Ben and I have been best friends and have even been roommates on and off for years. To this day we still live down the street from each other. We have both been there for each other through our ups and downs and have always been each others sounding posts for life decisions, both big and small. We always are the most honest with each other whether the other likes it or not and that is a huge attribute in a great friendship.

I have known Danny since 6th grade and to say we were inseparable would be an understatement. Whether it is joining a sport (lacrosse, basketball etc), working on cars, taking things apart, building things, night wake boarding, winter surfing, part time jobs together and vacationing with each others families....If one of us did it, so did the other. There is not a single thing that we don't call each other about to this day, big or small.

The meaning of a "ride or die". If Micheal suggested it, chances are we followed through with it for better or for worse. We met in college and have been great friends ever since. If I had one friend who suggests I do something out of my norm, Micheal is it and every experience we have had has been hilarious, amazing and memorable. Firefly Festival, Twenty One Pilots, SalemGraduation parties, the list is never ending. My favorite is the "Micheal Collins Redbox surprise" where he picks a terrible Redbox and we watch it no matter what, a year long tradition.

Alex and I met freshman year and have lived together on and off with Ben Siebold from sophomore year through 2017. If there was one person who I clicked with the quick wit humor, it was him. He is one of my favorite people to laugh with because once we start, we can't stop until our girlfriends/fiances or strangers give us that look to cut it out..... From softball playoffs and Band of Brothers Challenges to wing nights, Alex has always been my regular party partner (most famously lasting until 6am at a casino in New Orleans).

Andrew was one of the first people I met in college and we are so much alike with humor and a life outlook that lead us to become fantastic friends. We lived together senior year when we were in Kappa Sigma and that really confirmed that we are like two brothers if Ryan Gosling and Chris Farley were family.....it worked. We have been there through all of life's ups, downs but throughout it all we have ragged on each other to no end and its one of each of our best friendship qualities.
Groomsman
Mario and I met while craming for an Econ final with 5 other people and from there the rest was history. We were great friends through college and lived together in Virginia Beach with Danny Jamin. We have had more phylospohical conversations than one could count. We worked in the same department and company after college and, while living as roommates at the oceanfront, had one of the best summers of our lives.

Cameron and I met in 1st grade and have been great friends ever since. He has remained the one person that, throughout the years, we go for months without seeing each other and pick up right where we left off. We have always had each others back in any situation and as cliche as it sounds Cameron is the real meaning of the phrase, even 23 years later.
