Maria was the first friendly face I met my first day of highschool. We had health class together and became friends immediately. She was a soccer player and I was a dancer, but what started out as an unlikely friendship has turned into one of my most cherished. There wasn't a weekend Maria and I didn't hang out and try to prank Kayce and her car. While Maria lives in a different state distance does not keep us apart. We have the most random group chat that keeps us involved in each others lives. As my longest standing friend I am so grateful she is able to stand with me on my big day! You're the B-Fri to my EST-End
Andrea and I met at work. Through our mutual distaste for our boss we became great friends! We have spent many nights at Wild West two-stepping our hearts out. When she moved to North Carolina we kept in contact and made plans to see each other often. Thankfully, a couple years later she was relocated back to Texas and while we don't two-step much anymore we still find time to drink wine and have dance parties. I am so thankful to have my Lady Gaga dance partner back in Texas and a part of my big day!
Ashley and I also met through our jobs. Again, with mutual distaste for our managers we became the best of friends! Ashley is everything you hope for in a friend. She always asks how you are doing and sends you encouraging words when you need them most. I am so lucky to have worked with such great girls that have turned into life long friends. While Ashley and I no longer work together our friendship continues to grow year after year. I am so happy to have Ashley Squared back together in Dallas!
Lia was one of the first girls I met when I moved to Dallas. She was so welcoming of me into her group of girlfriends. She makes you feel like you have been friends forever even if you've just met. Lia is always down for a good theme party or random activity like goat yoga. I am so thankful for our friendship and look forward to making more memories and becoming even better friends.
I met Steph through one of Patrick's oldest friends Conner. While we have only known each other for a short time we have an instant connection. Steph never lets me down when it comes to talking about fashion, makeup and rose wine. Every time we are together the laughs are endless. I am so thankful to have her in my life and excited for her to be standing with me on my big day!
Brianne is Patrick's oldest sister. While I was nervous at first to meet her, wondering if she would like me or not we clicked instantly. She will always tell it like it is and help plan anything. She has taken me in as her own sister and I look forward to creating many more memories with her. I am so excited to add another sister to the bunch!
