In the 21 years that I have known Syd, I could never ask for a more loyal best friend. From all-nighters watching Barbie movies to snowed-in sleepovers in college, Syd is one of my closest lifelong friends. I consider myself to be infinitely lucky that we are friends, and I cannot wait for her to be beside me on my wedding day.

Will has done a lot for me over the 12+ years I've know him including free hockey tickets and reading greens, but nothing as important as introducing Ana and I in high school and standing beside us on the big day.

Maddie is one of the few people who I can say has known me through all the best days and the worst days. From waking her up on Christmas mornings to asking her to be one of my maids of honor, she has been there to celebrate all of life's biggest moments with me. She is one of the smartest, funniest, and most special people I know, and after growing up alongside her, I am so proud to call her my little sister, friend, and maid of honor.

Family means everything to me and Max encapsulates that perfectly. I couldn't ask for a better person and built-in friend to stand next to me when I get married. Max and I have seen it all together and there's nobody else I can count on more to be there for me.

15 years ago, I walked into a dance class where I would meet one of my best friends. Logan and I went through so many big life changes together. From silly elementary school drama, dance practices in the basement, to college, we have been through it all. She is always up for a late-night call and is one of the easiest people in the world to talk to.

Despite being 4 years younger, Jack and I have been called twins on multiple occasions and it may be partially because our interests are so similar. We often speak our own language talking about soccer and can relate to one another differently than I can with anyone else

One of my closest friends from high school is Jasmine. We met as locker neighbors and classmates in eighth grade, which turned into eating lunch together every day in high school. Even after going to different colleges and heading out on separate paths, Jasmine has remained a constant, loyal, and reliable friend to lean on for the last 10 years.

One of my first friends after moving to Northville, Carl and I have experienced it all together. From taking on Ohio State together in Columbus to sharing a college house bathroom, we've truly seen it all. I couldn't ask for someone more loyal and integrity-filled to be by my side.

Over six years ago, Lauren and I tried out for the Michigan State Hunt Seat Equestrian Team. We bonded through countless freezing days at the barn over a shared love of riding and books. She was known as my bagel buddy and would always split a bagel with me before entering the show ring. We moved into the same building during our junior and senior years of college, solidifying our friendship into one that I hope will be lifelong.

From only getting to see each other once a year at Bear's Den to moving in together as college roommates at Koch Ave, Ryan always knows how to have a good time and my face always lights up whenever I get to see him.

Growing up, my cousin Abbie and I were attached at the hip at family gatherings, with our family referring to me as Abbie's mini me. We shared the same favorite Disney princess, Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and she is always the first face I search for at family holidays. We connected beyond being cousins as friends.

Born just 2 days apart (I'm totally not jealous I'm younger), it always seemed meant to be that Liam and I would be great friends, and I'll always remember playing the Wii together at 10 year olds in our parents basement and as 20 year olds at our college house.
