How is it that my forever 14-year old sister is a MATRON? If you know me, you know my glorious older sister, Lexy. Although she technically automatically gets the MOH spot, in this case, I couldn't imagine choosing anyone else to be my right hand gal - today and every day. My best friend, my longest companion, my seester, my Matron of Honor!

Although he may look like a peak defensive tackle (go Hawkeyes) Brant is a softy at heart. Not only that, but he's my golf partner, my fellow bourbon lover and my brother. The bromance continues.

We honestly don't remember how we became friends that fateful sophomore year of college, but all we know is that it took less than a song at Country Night to become inseparable. Ask her how she moved to Chicago AND landed a job with me on the same day...

Growing up with 3 sisters, Jack was my first brother. Through high school and then together at Miami, we've come to be a package deal.

I'll never forget the Facebook message Avery sent me asking to be roommates freshmen year of college... I said no, but I'm glad I did because who knows if our friendship would've survived that, or if she would be standing up here today. Side note: podcast coming soon!

Co-owners of a fantasy football team in "The League of Goo & Nichey 2s," our duo has been able to clinch one championship ring, and has had another stripped from our fingers. Mark my words, this is our year.

We may be 1 year a part, but I'll always be her #2 babysitter (step aside, Lex). She used to yell to my mom from across the street, "Can Wexy and Owivia come and pway?" But now I'm the one asking if she can come and play with me on my wedding day.

Tom was the first friend I made and "chose" outside of our high school circle since we both caddied at Moraine Country Club. Since then, we've lived together, joined the same golf club, and both started dating Olivias (The TriOs) at the same time. (Not weird.)

If you knew us in high school... no you didn't. We bonded in Mrs. Testo's Language Arts class in 7th grade when we realized our birthdays were a day a part. That's literally all it took. Friends forever.

The most important words Staley has ever said to me are, "Hey Patton, wanna go to Bones with this girl Olivia?" Thomas Staley III, president of our fraternity, the matchmaker!

My fellow Skyline lover, my junior year roommate, and my constant comedic relief. Ask her to quote any Vine and she'll DELIVER. Kath could have her own Netflix stand-up comedy special, but chooses to be a CPA (or something). Take it up with her.

In college, you wonder who you're going to be friends with and how. For Rudek and me, it took nothing more than a late night, a case of Natty Light, and Toby Keith (may he rest in peace - Toby, not Carter).

You'd be knicking yourself if you weren't terrified of Syd Bell at least once in your life. From COO of our sorority, to working with the FBI, to now being a lawyer... Syd is definitely someone you want on your side. (In life AND on your wedding day.)

Mr. Powers: how to sum him up. John has been beyond influential in my (and Joe’s) life from the day I was born. From childhood next door neighbor, expert life advice giver, knower-of-all-things (well, except for wine…) and second father figure, we couldn’t imagine a more faithful and godly man to declare us man and wife. (Yes, he handed me my high school diploma, and now he'll be handing us our marriage license!)
