Elaina is my little sister, my best friend, closest confidant and an absolute badass. She is an officer in the Army and constantly inspiring me with her strength and dedication. I brag about her to anyone that will listen because watching her grow into the extraordinary woman she is has been one of the biggest privileges of my life. I couldn’t imagine my day without her, and I’m so proud to have her standing next to me as my maid of honor.

My cousin and my very first best friend, Julianna Banana, has the biggest heart. She is always kind, caring, and there when I need her no matter what. I don’t know what I would do without her. She’s an amazing, strong woman, and I feel beyond thankful to have her as my built in best friend.

My cousin, Vincent, is not only one of the smartest people I know, but he’s also incredibly quick-witted with a great sense of humor. He’s always had a special place in my heart and I’ve loved seeing him grow into the amazing man that he is. I’m so excited to have him by my side on this special day.

Lauryn and I met as young adults clicked right away! She has the most beautiful soul and a caring heart. Over the years, she’s become so special to me. She’s easy to talk to and someone I can confide in and trust with anything. I always feel comfort in her presence. I’m blessed to have her in my life and as a part of this incredible day.

I met Tanya in high school and our path to friendship is very unique. She has a light that truly radiates. She’s funny, sweet, and incredibly strong. No matter what life has thrown at her, she’s overcome it all with grace. She is so thoughtful and considerate and I appreciate her beyond words can express. I’m grateful to have her by my side.

When I met Ty I knew I hit the jackpot, but when I met his sister, Brooke, I realized just how lucky I really am. We clicked instantly and I felt like I’ve know her forever. She has such a compassionate heart and kind demeanor, making her one of my favorite people to spend time with. I can’t believe how blessed I am to be gaining another absolutely amazing little sister.
