For over 15 years, Roxanne has been my ride or die. We met in high school and I quickly realized she was someone I could truly be myself with. We went to University of Texas at Austin together and have been closer than ever after college. Roxanne is incredibly kind and patient, and has always been by my side through my crazy ideas and spontaneous adventures. I have always been able to count on her for anything, and at this point, she is family. Last year, Roxanne married her best friend in Colorado and set her roots there. I love seeing her when she visits as I know we always pick up right where we left off.

I can’t say enough good things about Maddie. We met in bible study in high school and since then, we have been good friends. She is near and dear to my heart as she witnessed my baptism and supported me in my growth with the Lord. Maddie is the kindest and most wonderful human I know. She listens like there is no one else in the room and is incredibly thoughtful, supportive and kind hearted. She has been by my side during the difficult times and I’m blessed to have her with me in the biggest moment in my life so far. I love seeing her be an amazing mother to her sweet 4-month-old baby, Josie.

Tania is the sister I never had. We met at Parmer Lane Elementary, where I have the fondest memories. She was my neighbor and we automatically connected. I have loved her since we were young girls growing up together, having fun and getting into trouble. I was devastated when I moved away in fifth grade and we lost contact. Fortunately, we reconnected through Facebook years later. Tania is my longest friend. We have a bond that nobody will ever understand. We grew up so different and yet so similar. While I was studying abroad, she was getting married to her high school sweetheart. We’ve learned so much from one another through different stages in our growth. It always feels like we become young girls again when we are together. I love being part of her children's lives and love them like family.

My older brother and lifelong best friend. Thank you for being my rock over the years. I admire the man that you are and I can't wait to have your support on this special day.

My brother from another mother. I'm blessed with your friendship and thank you for your support over the years.
