This is one of my closest friends, she is a beautiful soul and has walked through thick and thin with me! We have worked together for years and her son shares a birthday with Carter! She has welcomed baby #2, I am excited to be a part of her big adventure and I am so honored to have her be a part of mine!!!

Michelle has known me the longest, we grew up together from when we were toddlers. We have been inseparable for over a decade. No matter the distance between us we have always managed to stay best friends! I owe a great deal to this lady and I am honored for her to be able to give me away

This woman has my back and is my A1 day1, We have shared so many good memories from long days studying on the floor together, crying in the middle of nursing school, walking across the stage at graduation, to accepting the same position as nurses together and so much in between! She has been by my side and I could not have gotten through some of the hardest things in my life without her making me smile and brightening my day.

Sarah has been such an inspiration to me. From the first time I met her, she accepted me as family, over the years of trips together and long walks with deep conversations Sarah has given me guidance, advice, and support through it all. I look up to her and strive to be a strong, kind, and thoughtful individual as she has set an example for me. I am so excited to be a permanent part of her family and to be called a sister- in -law!

Kat and I went through school together, we struggled through long days studying in my office and achieving honors! We went to nursing school right after one another. In 2021 I got to be a part of her wedding and celebrate a fantastic relationship between her and David, and now I get to have her in mine, and I wouldn't have it any other way! She is a friend I can always count on and her smile always brightens my day.

Katelyn and I met about 2 years ago, we accepted the same job as nurses and have not looked back since! We instantly became friends on orientation and our friendship has only blossomed. I have gotten the privilege to not only work alongside Katelyn, but also regularly hang out with her :) She's the best vacation buddy! We got engaged months apart and are having fun sharing this journey together. I am excited to walk this journey of life alongside her!

Will is the life of the party! He is one of the nicest people I know and has been through many milestones with me. From working together at my first job to taking me out and celebrating my 21st birthday, let alone coming to my graduation party. He has been my biggest cheerleader and it is an honor to have him be a part of my big day. I know life is crazy and busy but it is always nice to have a friend that is always down to do something fun! Will has always encouraged me to be myself and I am forever indebted to him for this!

Logan and I grew up together, and went from friend, to best friend, and now to family. He's a brother to me, and will always be there and look out for me. He's helped me in life in every way possible, and always loves and appreciates me for who I am. He's been there for my lowest lows, and there for my highest highs. No matter how much time passes, or what life throws at us, we'll always be brothers and always stay connected. I wouldn't be who I am today without him.

Joe and I always seem to be on the same wavelength, sharing the exact same interests and hobbies. We talk about things almost daily and discussing anything from life, the world, and the small things like music or video games. I can always turn to him for new perspectives and thought provoking conversations, no matter the topic. He was there for some of the best times of my life, and I know it'll be the same for the future

Vance is the best brother I could ask for, and is always there when I need help. I look up to him in many ways, and treasure the memories I have with him from my childhood. The most important thing to him is family, and I feel blessed to be a part of that. I hope to be someone like him, someone who will do whatever they can to help someone who needs it. He's helped me so many times before, and I know he'll continue to help with any problems I face in the future. I know how much he loves and cares for me, and I hope to show him the same love and care

My first real interaction with Zach came from him helping me he get a job (thanks for that by the way, don't know if I ever said it) I saw how nice he was, and he's always willing to share things with me. He's a good father, and an all-around great guy. I'm excited for us to get closer, and I know he'll always support me and Kathleen - Plus he's a fantastic chef, the best quality one can have :)

Matt is someone who is always kind to others, and always tries to keep a positive energy, even if things become tense. We quickly became brothers and I feel lucky to have him join my family. He likes to make sure everyone has a good time, and I'm happy to be included in that. I admire how much love and care he gives my sister, and I hope he feels the same way about my love for Kathleen. If he feels that way, I know I'm doing something right.

Liz, Carter, and I owe you the biggest THANK YOU of all. None of this would be possible without you. Thank you for the time, effort, and brainpower you have put into making this day so special for both of us! Juggling 6 kids (including a newborn) making calls, arrangements, crafts, planning, and encouragement for us we would not be able to have this wedding without you! Thank you for EVERYTHING and all the things in between. On a personal note; Sissy, I truly would not be the person I am today without your guidance and support. From advice about life to helping me make my first budget, to being a shoulder to cry on when life gets hard. You have influenced me in such a positive way, I look up to you and hope to be a kind and strong woman like you. You have never given up no matter the circumstance, You and Zach have set such an amazing example of being incredible individuals, demonstrating a strong marriage, and what it looks like to be a fantastic parent. Carter and I will never be able to express the gratitude we have for you and your family, We truly look forward to the memories we will make together! - Love Kathleen aka Bug ;)
