Maid of Honor
My sister, my best friend, and the one I couldn't do this without. She has been there for me through it all and It wouldn't be right doing this without her. Through blaming her for things I actually did, to staying awake with her through thunderstorms and sharing many secrets I know I have the best sister out there.
Best Man
Pat and I have known each other for what seems like forever, and have been friends just as long. When I moved to Minnesota for my 8th grade year, Pat was the one that was assigned to show me around the school and make sure I found my way. Immediately, we became fast friends. Pat has had such a huge influence in my life, from some of the friends I've made, to drama in high school, to finding a church, to overall just helping me become who I am today. All the years staying up all night playing video games in high school, to growing in the church, and eventually getting me to volunteer at church, there's not much he hasn't influenced with me. Growing up with our love of Mountain Dew, Mario Kart, and music, we've been friends for so long and even if we don't speak for a while, he's there.
Bridesmaid
From sticking crayons in chairs in AWANAS, to creating chaos in KIDSII, and on to endless amounts of Gilmore Girls marathons with copious amounts of Chinese food we've been through almost everything together. We may disagree on which team should win, but we always have each others back.

I've been friends with Jeremy since my senior year of high school. From drama, to fast food runs, to hanging out at 'moms', there's nothing I haven't done or wouldn't do for this guy. Jeremy has always been one of my best friends. He's always been there to hang out and I know he's always a phone call away. It's been a blast watching us grow up and have families. We go our separate ways at times, but we are always there if needed and we will always be great friends. My favorite memory of Jeremy is getting to be in his wedding. It was such a fun experience and getting to hang out with all of the friends and family that we don't get to see that often.
Bridesmaid
I met Emily in high school and she's been there from the start. She's seen TJ and I as friends and slowly develop to where we are today. She's one of the best friends a girl could ask for from just going to hang out at the mall to going down to cosmic bingo at Mystic I know I can count on her for anything.
Groomsman
Like Jeremy, Joe and I have been friends since my senior year of high school. Given the fact they're twins, we've been through so much together. Joe is one of my best friends and it's been great to grow together and watch as we've all had families and have still been able to stay connected and be great friends. Joe is one of the few people that no matter what if I need a laugh, he's there to make it happen! My favorite memory of Joe, although many more were there, was attending the Tonic Sol-fa performance in Wisconsin. Seeing all my friends laugh at me while I made a fool of myself pretending to dance was hilarious.
Bridesmaid
TJ introduced us and we became fast friends bonding over our mutual love for coffee, music, and hair dye. We've been through many colors, hairstyles, and life changes together.
Groomsman
Derek and I have been friends for over 10 years now. From goofing around at Qdoba making ridiculous gun noises, to bailing each other out when we needed it, we have run the gauntlet of experiences together. I wouldn’t have been able to find my way without Derek sticking up for me and getting me a job when I needed it most nearly 6 years ago. Derek is one friend I can always count on to make me laugh, especially when it comes to bashing the hockey team.
