I still remember the day Tina was born. I was young but I remember being proud to have a baby sister that I could help guide through life. Growing up, we were inseparable and I was always looking out for her. I am not going to lie, we had our moments of fighting but that is bound to happen between sisters. We also had and still have many great moments that sisters share. All we do when we are together is goof around, laugh and make each other giggle. I love her so much and would not know what to do without her. She is my best friend, my Maid of Honor.

I have known Ashlyn since she was in her mommy’s tummy but I officially met her the day she was born! I helped my best friend raise her and to this day I still feel an amazing bond that I have never experienced before. I love her like I would love my own daughter. She is everything beautiful and gives the world hope and happiness everywhere she goes and that’s why she would make the perfect flower girl!

The day that Samantha was born, Tina and I were so excited to meet her. Samantha and I shared a different kind of relationship than Tina and I. Since I was the oldest Samantha came to me for comfort and guidance. We had our differences but what siblings don’t? We can entertain ourselves no matter the situation. I love her so much and find myself constantly trying to protect her, giving her advice on what to do and not to do but that’s just because I care. She is my best friend and I would not know what I would do without her in my life!

Although I already have two beautiful sisters, I am so happy to add another! Marissa and I are both the oldest of our siblings so we understand each other. We also do a great job teaming up against Steve. Every time we spend time together we find ourselves laughing, giggling and laughing. She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and I am so grateful to have her in my life.

Most of you know that John and I are brothers. We have always stuck together, helped each other out and given one another pep talks when we needed them the most. I remember being so excited when John would take me hiking and fishing. It made me feel cool knowing that I would get to hang out with my older brother. I have always looked up to him and that is why he is my Best Man.

Hunter is my nephew. I love this little guy. At a young age, we had him throwing the pigskin around and now he is playing pee-wee football. Yes, following in his Uncle Steve's footsteps. My brother and I take him hiking and fishing, just as we did when we were little. We thought he would make the perfect ring bearer.

I have known Darryl since I was very young. My father had known him originally and I learned a lot from him when he became my friend. He has always been a bit of a mentor for me and I have always appreciated his great advice and his support through all my decisions.

We met on the JV football team during high school and ever since then we have been good friends. We have been through a lot, road trips with our high school football team, family vacations, college, work and recently, his wedding. Steven and I have always had nothing but a good time whenever we hang out and that is why it is so important to have him be a special part of our wedding.
