Cason and I have always known each other. For as long as I can remember he has always been in my life. He is the best brother I could ever ask for, He is a kind, loving, and compassionate friend. Growing up with him has made up many of my favorite memories, and I am beyond grateful to call him my brother.

Megan and I have been inseparable since the moment we met six years ago on our overnight trip for Bellarmine. Since then we have gone on many adventures together. From the aquarium in Ohio to the poolside in Punta Cane even watching TV on our couch at home, there has never been a dull moment in our friendship. She’ been the best friend I never knew I needed and I cannot wait to have her by my side on this special day.

Chris is Ashley’s oldest brother and my soon to be brother-in-law! Chris is like the older brother I never had. He’s always looking out for me (except when playing board games). He is an avid sports fan who will always talk to you about any game that is on. But most importantly he is a great role model in that he is hardworking, fun, and loving.

Kennedy has always been the sister-in-law I always wanted. From the moment Chris brought her home I knew we were going to be the best of friends. She has always been one of the greatest support systems I can ask for and never fails to put a smile on my face. I truly was blessed to gain not only a sister when she and Chris were married, but also a best friend.

Taylor is also Ashley’s older brother, yet he definitely represents being the middle child well. Taylor has been a great friend to me growing up, he is always a funny, loving, and enjoyable person to be around. My favorite memories with Taylor have been going on double dates with him and Maya!

From camping at Wall Doxey as kids to standing beside her on her wedding day, Brooke has always been there for me. She is my cousin but if you were to ask anyone we were always more like sisters growing up. Even though she lives so far away the distance has never stopped our friendship!

Zane and I were the classic Louisville story of knowing a person… just one step away. I knew his sister through the Bellarmine Swim team and had gotten to know Zane through her. We quickly became friends and have been living together for the past two years. Zane has helped me to live more in the moment and is truly a great friend.

Maya and I met how anyone in our family meets someone, through swimming. What started as a bond between teammates quickly flourished into a beautiful friendship. I know I can always turn to her for advice, always with a charcuterie board from Louvino’s present, and lean on her for support. I can’t wait for the day that she officially becomes my sister-in-law, even though she’s already become a sister to me.

Griff and I met during college when him and Zane were roommates at UofL. Griff is fun to be around and has a very calming personality. My favorite part of being friends with Griff is that he is always interested in doing something outside! Pickleball, golf, running, you name it and he’d love to join.

When Sarah and I were kids, you would never find one without the other. From sleepovers at each other’s houses to running around the neighborhood late at night playing cops and robbers we were inseparable. Even when we both went off to college, our friendship never faded and still is full of the love and joy we found in each other from that moment we met 18 years ago.

Kenton and I became good friends after being roommates throughout college! His goofy, fun, and outgoing personality has a contagious effect on everyone he is around, making him a great roommate and even better best friend.

Of course, Sarah and I’s duo became a perfect trio when we finally met Amelia one summer’s day in the cull da sac on our street. Amelia has always been such a ray of sunshine in my life. From her outgoing personality to her joyful spirit, she always has been a light in my life and one of the greatest friends I could ever have asked for.

Sam and I met while swimming at Bellarmine together. He’s always ready to go to an event and have fun! Sam is a great friend, always having a good time no matter where you are.

Katie and I met through Phi Mu at Bellarmine and the rest is history. We instantly became best friends and have never left each other’s side since. Katie is someone who always finds a way to make you laugh no matter what. Even though we are not in the sorority together anymore, she will always be a little sister to me.

Jacob and I met while swimming at Bellarmine together. He has always been a great friend to me, encouraging me to have fun, train hard, and live life to the fullest.

Lydia is my cousin and also my Harry Potter buddy! I remember the first time I held baby Lydia in my arms and fell in love with my youngest cousin in that moment She is a caring and compassionate girl who loves her family with her whole heart.
