Chrissi is Kynsie's best friend and chosen family. We met through serving (and surviving) together at Houston's, where a simple shift turned into a lifelong bond. She has been there through all the ups and downs, and has shown me a friendship that I grew up always wishing for. I am so grateful to have her by my side on my wedding day.

Mitch and Chris met freshman year of high school and have been best friends ever since. From causing chaos in school (mostly Chris) to living together as adults, they always prioritized their friendship. Even now, living multiple counties apart, they always make it a point to visit each other and show up for each other. Mitch is also the officiant of Chris & Kynsie's wedding.

Kylie is Kynsie's older sister. She has always been an inspiration to me. Although I annoyed her endlessly, I was so happy that she would include me whenever she had friends over (even though our Mom made her). She has paved the way for me and is partially responsible for my amazing music taste. I'm thankful to have her standing up there with me on this day.

Ryan and Chris met under unique circumstances later in life. Ryan came to Florida from New Mexico in 2019 and they had ended up meeting through "shared acquaintances". From the first day they met, they instantly hit it off and a beautiful friendship flourished. Ryan became one of Chris' closest friends and like an older brother. From Christmas eve parties, to traveling the world, a friendship like this is hard to find.

Summer and Kynsie have been friends since middle school. She has been there for me through all of the awkward phases of adolescence and all of the dumb decisions teenagers tend to make. She is my soul-sister, and the bond we share is truly one of a kind. I'm so unbelievably lucky to have grown up with such an amazing and beautiful soul, and I'm truly grateful to have her by my side on my wedding day.

Kameron is Kynsie's younger brother. From growing up together, to moving down to Florida, he has always been by my side. Despite our intense fights when we were younger (that I would obviously win since I'm older and stronger), we still had an understanding and bond with one another that is unshakeable. I'm so proud of the man my little brother has become, and am so happy to have him stand by my side on my special day.

Alyssa is one of Kynsie's best friends as well. Their friendship was forged through the lyrics of Taylor Swift when Kynsie may have had a little bit too much to drink one night and Alyssa had the kindness in her heart to take care of her. After that night, we became inseparable. Through dancing through our early twenties, to balancing a long distance friendship, Alyssa has always been one of the funnest (and funniest) people I know. I'm so overjoyed to have her by my side.

Brandon is Chris' cousin. Since they were babies they've always been very close. Most memories were made playing PS2 until the late hours of the night and having "rematches" to prove who was actually better at Teken. Although the true answer may never be known, their bond has always been strong and it's an honor to have Brandon by Chris's side on his big day.

Sophia has been such a special part of both of our lives, and we feel so incredibly lucky to have her as part our chosen family. Even though we met her through Matt (Chris's brother), she has felt like a little sister to us from the very beginning. Her warmth, loyalty, and genuine spirit bring so much joy into our lives. We are beyond grateful to have her standing with us on our wedding day.

Kristen is Kynsie's cousin. Kristen and Kynsie have been close since birth. We would spend our childhood together at our Grandma's house playing Kim Possible, office, and even cats. She was even the person who Kynsie had her first sleepover with as a kid. Almost all of the fond memories that I carry as a child has Kristen right there by my side with me. She was my true partner in crime and I'm so lucky to have her by my side.

Danay has brought such a calm and loving energy to our lives ever since we first met her. We will forever be grateful to Jovanni (Chris's brother) for introducing her to us. Her sweetness, kindness, and genuine heart has made it incredibly easy for us to view her as our little sister. It means the world to be able to have you stand by our side on our day, and we are so excited to have you up there with us.
