Roz and I met in 2009 - we were suitemates at Northwood University! I went to college not knowing a single person and somehow got lucky enough to have Roz as my suitemate!  We went to our first college parties together, joined the sorority together, spent spring breaks at her parents house in Miami, and continued to stay close miles apart as we began our careers. She is that friend that you can always have ride shotgun in an uber because she can have a conversation with anyone! Roz is a one of those friends that you dont need to say anything to and you just know what each other are thinking. I was thrilled when Roz said she would be a part of Connor's and my big day!

I met Nicole my freshman year at Northwood - I think at the "White House" to be exact!  We hit it off right away and when I joined the sorority I knew I would be getting a "Big Sis"  I couldnt have hoped for a better big!  Nicole is not only one of my closest friends but someone I can call up at anytime and know she will anwser to talk about whatever. I was lucky enough to stand next to Nicole as she said I Do to the love of her life Tyler and I am excited she is going to be next to me when I say I Do to the love of my life Connor! 

Ellie and I have been friends since elementary school! We would spend our summers at horse camp and would later set the fire alarm off setting up for homecoming because we were testing out the fog machine. Ellie is someone you grow up with and continue to stay close to into adulthood, these are the friendships you hope your kids will have as they grow up! We have always been there for each other for the big moments in life and I am so excited Ellie will be standing next to me on my big day!  

In a sorority you not only get a "Big Sis" you also get a "Little Sis"!  Megan is my "Little Sis".  She is the sweetest and kindest person I know and I am so glad she is a part of my life! Megan has a positive attitute that is contagious and has the best sense of humor! Megan and I can go weeks without talking but we pick right back up like no time has passed. I couldn't imagine my special day without her by my side!

Sarah and I were introduced on freshman move in day at Northwood.  We became friends immediately, we were both entrepreneurship majors so we had majority of our classes together.  Sarah was an extra roommate my sophomore year at the yellow house and then senior year we lived together! You can always count on Sarah to send a fun photo each week :) I was ecstatic to be a part of Sarah and  and her husband Jordan's special day and couldnt imagine her not being a part of mine and Connor's! 

Dani and I go way back, actually back to middle school!  Dani and I spent a lot of time at our brothers basketball games growing up and really built a strong friendship! We have had so many memories over the years from skiiing in high school, homecomings and proms, to ice fishing at Ballards for Dani's work event.  Although Dani and I went our seperate ways after high school we continued to stay in contact and meet up every time we came back home. Dani and I have always been there for big milestones in eachothers lives and I was honored when Dani asked me to be a part of her and Mike's special day and look forward to Dani being a part of mine and Connors! 

Aley and I met freshman year at Northwood, we were in the same orientation group because of our last names.  Aley and I never really thought we would be friends.... she was very girly and I was the girl from Minnesota in my doc martins. Aley is the dancing queen out of the group, you can always count on her to be on the dance floor! She is the most loyal friend and will listen to you and give her honest opinion in any situation.  I am so glad Aley said she would be part of my big day because her friendship means so much to me!

We couldn't have picked someone that means more to either one of us to be our Best Man!  This little guy makes our days interesting and is always keeping us on our toes! We have learned a lot about dinosaurs, sharks and godzilla over the years and I have no doubt he will share some of his knowledge with you over the week!  He has been a huge help in the wedding planning process by choosing our wedding colors, giving us the pros and cons to each pool when we were deciding on a resort and making sure we are flying to Mexico and not driving!  We are excited that he will be able to be a big part in our Wedding and we want him to know how special he is to the both of us! 

Gavin & I first met in 8th grade, some 15 years ago. Gavin and I went through middle and high school together as well college at Pitt State. Gavin has always been my right hand man - from going through the different stages of growing up to encouraging my questionable decisions, he's right there. Regardless of me moving away from the Kansas City area, Gavin remains my best friend. He's the guy I can always rely on & trust to. He also puts me in my place a fair bit. 

Ben and I have been friends since as far back as I can remember, actually - before I can remember. Ben and I grew up down the street from each other starting at a very young age. We went to pre-school, elementary, middle, high school and tech school together - see I said forever. I have an ENDLESS amount of memories with Ben - playing 500+ hours of NASCAR, racing stripped down tonka trucks (very dangerously), making forts in the woods - it goes on and on. 

I met Jake my first semester at Pitt State in the dorms. I'm pretty sure at first he hated me given, that the first time I ever said anything to him he dead stared me down. Of course, that was at 2 a.m. on a Saturday night so you can only imagine the state of mind. We ended up having a lot of similar classes in the Automotive program together and bonded over a severely similar sarcastic attitude.

Fink & I were in the same pledge class in Lambda Chi at Pitt State. We were two of the older guys in the recruited class & became close over the semester before our initiation. Dylan & I make fun of, and laugh at the same stuff - including an uncomfortable amount of Chappelle references. He's one of the most genuine guys that I know and someone that I can pick right up with every time we talk.

Luke sort of twisted my arm, forcing himself into being a groomsmen some 20 years ago when he ruined by perfect single child life. Luke is the oldest of my two little brothers & one of my best friends. Growing up together we have some eery similarities anywhere from the way we think to how we walk. Luke & I are close, and I always feel like I can never spend enough time with him. I'm always happy to hear his first smart-ass remark as I walk in the door coming back to K.C.

Much like Luke, Jake didn't really have a choice when it came to me. We are the oldest of two cousins in the Foster family, separated only by a year. The trouble and memories with Jake are vast and wide. Starting from the early years, Jake has always been shyster numero uno, talking me into all sorts of questionable situations. All the way from from the early years, out at Grandpa & Grandma Foster's to rooming together when I went to Salina Tech after graduating high school.

Growing up Nick and I have always been close.  Partially because of how close we are in age.  You arent able to pick your family but if I was able to I would still pick Nick! Not many people can say that thier sibling is one of their best friends and I am so lucky to be able to say that!

I always joke with Nick that I want a "cool sister in law" when he meets that special somone. It means so much to me that Nick and Connor get along so well and have interests in common.  When you think about your future husband and how they will get along with your family I couldn't imagine anyone else that fits in so perfectly. I am pretty sure Nick would say he is getting a "cool brother in law"
