Jen and I met around kindergarten. I was never in the same classroom with her until 4th grade, so I always felt "intimidated" by her. Finally I got to know her playing Saturday basketball with Mrs. Field, and spending summer days at our local pool. Those days eventually turned into us being locker room/bus buddies in every sport. Jen has always been a little quiet, and reserved. I definitely encouraged her rebellious streak, but she was there to keep me in check. She held me, and listened through all the scary things being a teenager brings. She now works as a High School counselor. She lives in Spicer, MN with her husband, Casey and their two babes; Wyatt and newborn, Ayla.
Groomsman
Ahmad and Anthony were best friends growing up. They were always tearing it up on a field or court of some sort. When they get together I find myself completely lost in all of the silly inside jokes they have. Ahmad is an avid golfer and bowler these days, and he resides in Minneapolis with his significant other, Becca.
Bridesmaid
Anthony and I met Lisa, and her husband Kyle through mutual friends. We attended a bonfire at their place and I knew immediately I needed her to be my friend!

Lisa is one of the most honest, real, caring individuals. Her levelhead balances me and teaches me so much. She loves traveling, camping, music and adventures, as well as puzzles!

Norman and Anthony met working at Microsft in 2015. Norman moved to Fargo from Irvington, New Jersey. Both Anthony, and Norman were big city guys chasing their futures to Fargo, ND. They had an instant understanding and connection. Anthony says it felt like they grew up together. Maybe because Norman is also a twin, or it could be because they are so similar in other aspects. Norman has the biggest heart, a passion for travel, and a keen sense of fashion. He was the only guy that could outdress Anthony in Fargo. Now Norman is living in Seattle and working at Microsoft headquarters.
Bridesmaid
I met Kristina working at Spitfire. Since we worked opposite shifts, it took a couple years to get to know one another. Once I switched to night shifts we quickly became friends, and it is crazy to imagine how long it took us to realize we are soul sisters. Kristina is my long lost twin. We are constantly confused for the other by customers (new or regulars), co-workers, and even by our own friends and significant others. Kristina is passionate about cooking, traveling (especially to the ocean), having fun, and living a healthy, natural, positive life. She just started her big girl job at Eide Bailey, and is planning a wedding with her awesome partner, Tyler. They live here in Fargo with the coolest cat in town, Lucky.

Kali and I met coaching volleyball for a local high school. Since it was a smaller school, our teams had to share a court for practice. I am so thankful, because otherwise I may have never gotten to know this amazing woman! Kali spent most of her life growing up in Virginia. Her family moved to Fargo when she was in high school, and from there she went to Crookston to play volleyball. She is definitely the best "girl" friend.

I met Brittany when I came to visit Anthony in Fargo. They started working at Microsoft together, and have been great friends since day one. I knew I loved her when she kicked a guy out of her car for being rude to me! Once I moved back to Fargo we slowly got to know one another, and soon realized how similar our souls are. No matter which season of life we are in, we both consistently show up for each other with unconditional support and love.

She just married her sweetheart Aldo, and they just built a house out in West Fargo.

I have always looked up to Aj, and the fierce love and devotion he and his wife Cristie share. They are both so strong in their faith and love for God, as well as one another.

She loves spending time with her cousins, shopping, and playing dolls (I am jealous of her collections).
