Rebekah has been my best friend since the 3rd grade, and words can’t fully capture how much she means to me. For over 13 years, we’ve shared laughter, tears, late-night talks, and memories that have shaped who I am. From swimming side by side as little girls to navigating all of life’s highs and lows, she’s been my constant—always showing up with love, grace, and an open heart. Even when college took us in different directions, our bond never wavered. Her unwavering loyalty, her deep faith, and her love for the Lord continue to inspire me in ways I can’t explain. I truly don’t know what I would do without her, and I am beyond honored and deeply thankful to have her standing by my side on this incredibly special day.

Annie completes our Bestie Trio, and has been one of my closest friends for the past 13 years. For 9 of those years, she was also my teammate—someone I could always count on both in and out of the pool. Annie is one of the most driven, hardworking, and loyal people I know. She’s been a steady presence in my life, through every season, always bringing laughter, light, and so much joy. I’m incredibly thankful for her friendship, and it means the world to have her by my side as I begin this new chapter.

My Katie Kate. I feel so incredibly blessed to have walked through so many chapters of life with you. From our days as tiny swimmers on summer league, to year-round practices, to high school, college swimming, being roommates—and now, our bridal era! God knew what He was doing when He placed you in my life, and I’m forever thankful for the memories we’ve made and the friendship we’ve built over all these years. I still can’t believe we’re getting married just one week apart… little Kate and Kylie would be absolutely losing it! I’m so excited to celebrate this beautiful season with you—side by side, just like always.

Makayla was one of the very first friends I made at Carson-Newman, and she quickly became someone so special to me. She’s funny, kind, and always up for a spontaneous adventure—which made every moment together that much more fun. She’s also one of the hardest working and most driven people I know, and I truly looked up to her throughout our four years swimming together at CNU. I’m so thankful that we get to share this sweet bridal season side by side, and I can't wait to see all that the future holds for both of us. So grateful to have her by my side on such a meaningful day.

The OG cousin, Alanah has always been the life of the party. She’s a true firecracker who can light up any room and makes me laugh like no one else. I couldn’t be more excited to have her by my side on this special day.

Kaden is truly the best little brother a girl could ask for. He’s been by my side through it all, and I’m so proud to be his big sister. Having him stand with us on the big day means the world to me.
