To know Abby is to be loved by Abby! From day one she has been the brightest light! From baking bagels, target runs, and shining the light of God Abby has been an amazing blessing to me. My life wouldn’t be the same without that first chick-fil-a meal. Thank you for standing by me as a friend today and always!

My brother Michael is the model image of everthing a big brother should be. He is also one of the most kind-hearted and family oriented men you will ever meet. Despite our age difference, we have quite alot in common and he was monumental in shaping me into the man I am today.

Lindsey has been my day one! Through diapers to middle school to running around Europe Lindsey has always been there. She is kindness and grace all wrapped into one. Through thick and thin Lindsey and I have stayed close. I can’t imagine this day without her!

My day one sister. Through rough and easy seas she is always there! Sisters by Gods greater plan, but fitness by choice and hard work. Glad to have her confident strong self standing by my side on my big day and everyday in between!

My newfound bonus sister! Emily had taken me in just like another sibling. She’s loves her family fiercely and completely. I am honored to have her standing by me today and forever! Thank you for helping Thomas become the man I can’t live without!

We are both lovers of all things coffee and plants! Lauren was an unexpected friendship from a coffee shop job in college who had become one of my closest friends. I am so glad to have her standing with me for the wedding as a close friend!

My best friend for over a decade. 1 of 2 groomsmen who cuts hair! Orlando, aka Bulldog is the Yin to my Yang. You'll never meet another pair of friends that are almost complete opposites to eachother yet get along to the extent we do. He's been along for the ride though all my changes and successes, as well as being right with me in some of the not so glorious parts of young adult life.

My other hairstylist friend! Karl is someone I've known since early childhood. We were both in cub/boy scouts together! We rekindled our friendship however when he moved to Houston several years ago. Karl and I enjoy playing video games together and eating homemade cookies from Mackenzie.

Cody was actually my very first friend i made in college. We met through the Christian organization RUF (which is also where I met me my future wife). We bonded over our pursuit of Christ and kept each other grounded while going through college and beginning our careers

Devin is a US Marine. We met in high school but did not become close till the after I graduated. We have bounded over many beers and bonfires throughout the years. He’s always got my back and wants best for me even when he won’t say it. It was truly a feat to get him in the wedding so due to his schedule and I am glad to have him standing with me.
