My brother is incredible. I am so in awe of who he has grown to be: a stellar husband, a strong leader, a true friend, and someone who can be relied on. Connor is widely known and loved, and for good reason. His smile is contagious, his joy is pure, and he celebrates the accomplishments of others as if they are his own. When thinking of who should marry me to Hunter, it took no thought at all to ask my baby brother.

Katelin and I met at a coffee shop in July of 2020, and became fast friends. With so much in common (like being teachers, loving plants, and being addicted to caffeine), how could we not become best friends? Katelin is wise, kind, honest, and a true friend.

I am so thankful my brother has such great taste and gave me a sister who is beautiful inside and out. Brynne is kind, selfless, has incredible fashion sense, and has become an amazing friend and sister to me.

As cousins who grew up practically as siblings, Jamie and I are close. Jamie is the funniest person in the world, loves adventure, and has just as much embarrassing blackmail on me as I have on her.

My cousin Julia has me to thank for her teenage glow up, and it is perhaps what I am most proud of. While Julia no longer rocks those Harry Potter glasses and translucent eyebrows, she continues to rock her stellar personality! Julia is joyful, creative, artistic, and loving.

High school theater buddy turned travel companion, Kendall is the funnest to explore with. She has such a sense of adventure, and can turn even the most casual hang into a memorable event. I love her zest for life, her joy, and her friendship!

Makala and I's friendship began in 8th grade, and we have survived a lot together; cringey outfits, bad haircuts, and even living together during covid. Makala makes any situation a good time, whether it be testing new recipes, painting while binging tv shows, or just hanging out. We always have a great time!

When I moved to San Luis Obispo, I was welcomed into an amazing community of friends. Allyson's friendship came so naturally, with our mutual love of themed-parties, sparkles, and music! Allyson's humor, kindness, blunt honesty, and hospitality are just some of the many things I love about her.

I met Timmy across the hall from my very first Military Dorm. Over the years, we developed an amazing friendship. Going on river floats for his moms birthday, to Vegas trips, and now living together in California. To many more years!

Tristan is the Groomsmen that I have known the longest. Tristan and I met in Tech School for our job in the military. In Minot, ND, we took separate paths, but since we both left, we have grown a stronger relationship.

Bridge was my first ever roommate and we ended up being very close friends through this. I am very happy to have forced my friendship on Bridge as he is such a cool guy! Especially since we both love our horror movie nights.
