"Fred" is my younger, cooler sister who is the funniest person ever without even trying. She is the source of countless family inside jokes, our family's private chef, a coffee addict like myself, and the only other person I trust with aux. I love being her older sister and I'm lucky to have her by my side!

William is my twin brother & undeniably my best friend (aside from Erin of course). Until Will moved out East we were inseparable. He is without a doubt the smartest guy I know. Every time we talk I end up learning something I didn't know before. I have no doubt that one day he will make a huge positive impact on the immunology field. It's hard to condense a lifetime of brotherhood into a paragraph, but put simply Will is the best guy I know and there's no one else l'd rather be my Best Man.

Katie is another one of my sister's and has been someone I've looked up to for as long as I can remember. I followed in her footsteps going to Cal Poly and finding me a Santa Maria ag guy to marry! She is driven, loyal, and a fantastic mom to our favorite little people - Brynn and Griffin.

Walker and I grew up playing baseball together—sometimes as teammates, sometimes as rivals—but always as friends. Walker's the kind of friend we all want to be but can't come close to replicating. Easily the funniest guy I know, and effortlessly athletic.

Emily is another sister of mine (yes, there are a lot of us!) and has been a built in bestie since day 1. Being so close in age, we grew up doing everything together and have so many fond memories of our childhood. Not only is she a bridesmaid, but a (very talented) florist who will be doing all of the florals for our big day - thoughts and prayers for her sanity please!

Matt and I have a lot of shared interests and both work in agriculture. We also played baseball together in college & eventually were roommates in Chico. While in Chico we had lots of classes together and a friendly competition developed between us for the better test scores. I wish I could say I ended up on top in that competition but that'd be a lie.

Katie and I met in the dorms at Cal Poly and is one of the best people I know. She is always down for anything and was a great friend to have by my side throughout college, and now throughout adulthood! Give us a bottle of red wine (or two) and we could chat for 24 hours straight. Special shoutout to her, as she is the 2023 Nertz Champion (major flex).

Ryan and I also grew up playing baseball against each other and together in junior college; where Ryan was a lock down third baseman. A collegiate gold glove winner actually. He also works in agriculture in Santa Maria and it's been so fun running into one of my good friends on a weekly basis.

God knew I needed someone to get through college with, so He gave me Callista. We met our first day of college during WOW, and have talked everyday since. We agree to disagree on Taylor Swift's best era - she loves the new stuff, I am a "Debut" stan. What we can agree on is our love for Top Ramen, espresso martinis, and Bibble from Fairytopia.

Jake and I were also roommates in college. He is the friend that always pushed me out of my comfort zone - taking me mountain biking and snowboarding for the first time. Of course, there is no way I could keep up with him on a board or a bike. This won't be his only time walking down the aisle this year, he will be getting hitched just a few weeks before us!
