Maid of Honor
Meghan and I met through mutual parents on April 8, 1992, the very first day of my life. Since that day, she's been my built-in best friend, an amazing role model, and the best older sister to go through life with. She knows me better than anyone else, and though we can fight hard, we always love harder. There is no one else that I would want to have as my Maid (Matron) of Honor. You earned this, Meghan!
Best Man
Ben and I have known each other since the 6th grade. We immediately bonded over sports and have been lock step in a lot of other activities since. Ben's a great person and was an easy choice to be my best man.
Bridesmaid
Chelsea and I have been partners in crime since we could walk, and I'm lucky to have a best friend and cousin. Our childhood was filled with memories of playing with Barbies and baby dolls, performing in plays, and hosting pretend weddings (orchestrated by Meghan, of course), and now we're bridesmaids in each other's real-life weddings. It's surreal but I'm so excited to have her by my side.

Timmy is a great friend and an even better person. Although I haven't known him as long as some of the other guys on here, we were one and the same from when we met.
Bridesmaid
My friendship with Melissa goes back to when we were 6 years old and just two super cute, chubby little ballerinas with bright red tutus. We reconnected in middle school and soon after, our notorious tap duo to Mamba Number Five was born. It was only a matter of time before she was my bestie at dance and at school. Even though we both lost our dance technique and flexibility, she'll always be my best duo partner.
Groomsman
Old Hev and I go back to 9th grade social studies class when he thought California was a country. Me and Tyler share the same love for the outdoors, although he probably is more over the top than me. Teej is one of the more fun people I know, and it's been a pleasure growing up with him.
Bridesmaid
Christine and I first met when we were in second grade. My mom was her teacher at the time, and she pretty much forced us to become friends, but it totally worked out. We hung out a couple of times and became even closer when we were in the same seventh-grade homeroom, and we have been friends ever since! Christine also might be the reason Jim and I are together today...she's very persistent. Thanks, Christine!

Rhyner is my oldest friend up here. We met in the third grade when I first started going to public school. Through thick and thin weve always stayed close. Steve is top notch.
Bridesmaid
Nothing bonds friends for life more than the shared misery of 6th-grade band class, at least that's true for me and Vicki. While our flute careers didn't even make it to 7th grade, our friendship is going strong. Vicki's always down for an adventure, be it big or small, so I knew she'd be down to stand by my side on my wedding day.
Groomsman
Besides sharing names, me and jimmy have pretty much every possible thing in common you could have. if you're in search of a good time jimmy is always the life of the party.
Bridesmaid
There must be something in the water at Strayer Middle School because that's also where I met Kelsey. Starting in 7th-grade homeroom, we would spend our time passing notes and drawings back and forth, mostly making fun of our teachers and random kids we didn't even know. It might not have been nice, but our creativity was very impressive. To this day, if Kelsey's around, guaranteed the entire room will be laughing.

Dan's my brother, and although were not always eye to eye, nothing is thicker than family.
Bridesmaid
I like to think I have great intuition, and my friendship with Alicia is a prime example. When Alicia walked into homeroom the first day of ninth grade, I remember thinking "I'm going to be friends with her." Now, 15 years later, here we are! You can always count on Alicia to have tissues, contact solution, lotion, anything you may need, which is one of the many reasons she earned the nickname "Gram".
