From coworker to friend to sister. What started as just the average coworker relationship quicky changed when I moved in next door. Quick chats out on our decks became texting back and forth about each other's lives, relationships, and school. Caitlin became my listening ear on all things, and I became her biggest cheerleader as she moved into her new role at school, the badass special ed teacher she is. Caitlin is hands down the funniest person I know, but she is also the coolest mom. Not only did she watch Josh and I's relationship from the beginning, so did her son Oliver. Peaks over the fence turned to climbing into the backyard unannounced to talk with Josh, to constantly asking about him at school. Oliver loves Josh and Josh loves Oliver. Caitlin and Oliver have easily been one of best parts of Tioga and I could not see my life without them.

Sam is my younger sister who I can always talk into an adventure. Though we couldn’t be more different at times, our differences have always balanced each other out. When I want to make a playlist featuring Taylor Swift through the Eras, she wants to listen to Johnny Swims. When I want to visit Banff, she decides we don't stop until Anchorage. We've learned from one another, pushed each other to grow, and been constants in each other’s lives no matter where life has taken us. Even if that means taking Sam to Alaska. Beyond being sisters, we are true friends. Sam is someone that I can always count on for honesty, laughter, support, and a karaoke show. Sam is known to burst into any Reba song and never has a problem busting out a move. I have been honored to share this time of our lives together as we both move from fiancés to wives.

As my younger sister, Allie's been my built-in best friend from day one. Even though I’m only six years older, I fully embraced my role as the “mom." I’ve spent years looking out for her or what she likes to call bossing her around, giving unsolicited advice, and pretending I know best… She’s been right there beside me cheering me on no matter my crazy ideas. She was the first person I talked with about Josh and made sure I didn't screw it up. We share an unapologetic obsession with Taylor Swift—from screaming lyrics in the car to living our best lives at the Eras Tour to calling each other crying when we found out she got engaged. If you hear us quoting “it’s me, hi” or insisting that the 10 Minute Version of All too Well “saved our lives,” don't judge. I couldn’t imagine this day without her by my side—no matter the era, we will always be in it together.

The grooms dad and best friend. Been by his side since he was born. Favorite fishing partner, drinking buddy, and fellow Denver Bronco junkie.

Brides “brother”. Drew has been in the family for forever. Always able to bring a laugh- either with him or at him. He has an unhealthy obsession for Canes and if he’s not fishing he’s out duck hunting. He welcomed Josh in and made him feel like part of the family early on.
