Jill is my ride or die! She is the person who will always be at my side in a snap, no questions asked. She is my best friend and sister from another mother. We have shared too many wonderful, beautiful and crazy memories to count!

My sister Tammy is a wonderful friend to me, she is always funny, entertaining and is a good listener. She is also nurturing and gives me the best blowouts for my long hair! It's fun watching her be a mom to Slater and Stella (who is one of the flower girls).

Kelsey is one of my best friends from California for more than 10 years now. I met Kelsey through Jill. We met at a party and instantly clicked. Kelsey and Jill both worked for Red Bull, driving the Red Bull Mini Cooper to events for promotion purposes. I always loved meeting up with them at these events. We have shared so many fun experiences together, including being bridesmaid's in Jill and Caitlin's weddings.

Where do I begin? Kaelyn (KK-ray) is my cousin whom I love and adore. Lots of giggles, bubble baths as little ones, and boy crazy adventures. We might fail a lie detector if anyone asks us if we have ever stolen and eaten a pound of cooked bacon that Grandma had cooked and set on the counter for our Christmas brunch! Kaelyn is the best cat mama any kitty could have and the best girl cousin I could ever wish for!

I have known Coco for about 15 years. She has been a consistent best friend. I met Coco through social media when we both were working as multi-level-marketing representatives for Limelight Cosmetics. We did lots of 'Facebook Lives' together and shared many embarrassing "live" moments. Coco is grounded by her strong faith and she is an amazing spiritual mentor to me

Caitlin is the best friend I have known the longest. Caitlin and I met in 5th grade. We spent lots of time messing up my mom's kitchen where we regularly practiced making a Fettuccine Alfredo recipe we learned in our Home Economics class. Caitlin is also the friend who gave me the worst layered haircut EVER with my mom's kitchen shears. If you are interested in seeing a photo of it, please ask my mom, she keeps the photo filed in her 'favorites!'

I met Savannah in Knoxville, TN. where I completed my junior and senior years of high school at Christian Academy of Knoxville. I actually lived with Savannah and her mom for a short time, until my mom arrived. We have so many fun memories together of all the high school shenanigans we got into. Savannah now lives in Atlanta, which is about 4 hours from Franklin.

Amelia is my bonus friend whom I adore. She is Savannah's older sister so I spent a lot of time with her in Knoxville TN. Besides hanging out with us, she would make us laugh until we cried. Amelia is a caring and warm hearted person, with a great sense of humor. I'm grateful that Amelia lives so close to me now. She and her husband live in Nashville.

I met Melissa through Jill. Melissa was Jill's childhood neighbor and bestie, which meant she was a bestie to me also. Melissa is a full-time nurse and is also raising 2 beautiful little girls, and an adorable toddler son. Melissa doesn't have a lot of free time, so I'm grateful and honored to have her make the trip from California to celebrate this special day with me.

Kathy and I met an instagram and became insta-friends when I was living in Palm Springs. She and I immediately clicked over jello shooters. Kathy is always up for a good time, which I love, and is why she is one of my besties. Now she is a mom of 3, and she is still a solid and consistent friend to me.

Little sister to Aria, Lily is a 4-year-old whose favorite color is 'rainbow!' Her hobbies are dance and tennis and her favorite animal is definitely the octopus.

Cousin to Aria and Lily, four-year-old Chloe loves bunnies and the color pink, just like Stephany! Chloe loves to paint, be pampered by getting manicures, and dance like a ballerina!

Nathan has made me the proudest father. He has a huge heart, is intelligent, hilarious, and a great guy. We have so many inside jokes and incredible memories. We enjoy hanging out and try to spend as much time as possible together. He looks up to his dad and is currently working on following my footsteps into owning an insurance agency. I look forward to working with him in the near future, as well as being his lifelong mentor, father, and friend.

Mark is my little brother. We call him "the kid". He's one of the most talented, smart and hard-working guys I know. Between saving lives and protecting the public around Seattle as a very experienced Firefighter/Paramedic, being a husband, raising his four children, and taking care of his home, he's a busy guy. Somehow, he always finds time to keep in touch almost daily and is one of my best friends. I love my little bro and am very proud of the man he is.

Lance is my oldest friend. We call him "Lance Romance" (It's a long and hilarious story behind that nickname). We've been close friends since we were about 8 years old. Lance pretty much lived at my house when we were kids. My grandpa called him his other grandson, and he was a brother to us. Lance had this incredible talent of showing up most nights with impeccable timing...just as dinner was being served. My parents apparently fed us well! I'm honored to have such a long-lasting friendship with so much history.

Mark and I have been great friends since Sophomore year of High School. I met Mark after he and his mom Debbie stopped to help my dad after a horrible car crash. We found out later that we went to the same High School, and we've been awesome friends ever since. So many incredible memories, shenanigans that made great stories, and heartfelt moments we've shared over the years. Mark is a Navy Veteran, an avid mountain biker, sports car enthusiast and snowboarder. I'm honored that we still remain close friends.

Kevin and I have been best friends for well over 15 years. We talk almost daily, have gone on some awesome trips together, and help each other through life's challenges. He's a great listener, always gives solid advice and I do the same for him. He's the nicest guy, is super fun to be around, and is always there when you need him. When he's not hard at work he's taking care of his home, his dog Maggie, attending various social events and always being the best dad to his two awesome kids. I'm so grateful to have this man as such an incredible friend!

Mario and I have been super close friends for well over 15 years. He's such a fun guy to hang around, and we have so many memories together. Mario is one of those guys that you can meet once, and you'll feel like you've known him forever. He puts his family and friends first. He lives life to the fullest, and I'm so proud that I have such an awesome, friendship with him. When Mario isn't bossing people around on the jobsite while building massive structures, he's a family man, car enthusiast, rips the desert up in his Can-Am, and dines at fine restaurants. He's a true Italian.

Lonnie and I have been friends for about 15 years. I really can't say enough great things about this incredible man! He will literally give a friend the shirt off his back if they were in need. He's always there for you no questions asked, a true loyal friend that will go out of his way to help anytime. Lonnie is a protector by nature and truly looks out for the ones he loves. God has blessed me to have such an incredible friend. Lonnie is an Army Veteran. When he's not travelling for work, he's spending time with his awesome wife Marea, building hot rods in his workshop, off-roading his Raptor Bronco, and trying hard not to let his MASSIVE Boerboel Mastiffs bite the UPS driver's face off.

Miguel and I originally met as co-workers about 13 years ago, and that quickly led into us being best friends. He's one of the most loyal friends anyone could ever ask for. Miguel would always have my back no matter what the situation was. He's a true friend and a brother to me. We have so many inside jokes and memories, it's awesome. He's an old soul that is there for his people, works his tail off as a Longshoreman, takes care of his beautiful family, and always makes time to be a great friend. In his free time, he enjoys vacationing and spending time at his river house and on water in his boat. He's incredibly talented and one of those talents is being a great friend.

Jeff and I met through his wife, and Stephany's friend Kelsey. We instantly hit it off. Jeff and I have so many things in common, it's ridiculous. He's a great friend, is hilarious, and we always have an awesome time hanging out. He's my brother from another mother and I'm so glad I can call this guy my friend. Jeff is a new father to a perfect baby boy, a family man, and a great friend. I'd mention his truck, dirt bike, boat, beach and all the things Jeff loves to do in his free time, but let's be real, my dude has no free time with an infant lol. Being a great dad is something incredibly special and Jeff is doing it right. I love this guy.

I met Wes through his wife, lifelong friend, maid of honor and the reason Steph and I met, Jill Vanderkallen. Wes is such a great guy, always a good time, and a real friend. He's basically my extended family. Wes has always been so good to Steph and it fills my heart. He's a hard-working firefighter that risks his life to take care of others but takes care of his family even more. I'm proud of the man he is. He's the life of the party, unless his wild wife is there, because nobody can keep up with Jill hahaha. Jill is basically my sister, so that makes Wes my brother-in-law. I love hanging out with Wes and am genuinely honored that he's one of my groomsman.
