Nicole and I were roommates in graduate school. We bonded over late night studying and lots of stressing! Nicole is the reason you have paper save the date cards instead of electronic. SHE wanted to put it on her fridge! I'm so glad to she'll be next to me on our special day!

Jordyn is my one and only first cousin! We grew up like sisters. She played video games and I watched her. She told me that it was more fun that way and I believed her! I couldn't imagine this life without her!

Ariana and I go back to early elementary school! Though we didn't go to school together, our brothers (Theo & RJ) were best friends since preschool. Fast forward 10 years and we end up at ODU together! It has been a journey! I'm thankful for our friendship.

Schuyler was my ride or die at Old Dominion! We did everything together from nights at "Club Perry" aka ODU Library to Whole Foods. Thank you for all the hours long phone calls and endless laughter.

Aliyah! We met in high school and sustained our friendship throughout the years. Hers was the hang out house - friends, games, and laughs til all hours. I appreciate her and her family.

Anshita and I also go back to high school. Who new that Fairfax High School would spawn such loving friendships. Our friendship has withstood time and distance, as she's now living in Canada. We've been through a lot but we've never let go of our friendship. Thanks for being part of our special day!

Yelsy has been a treasured friend since he met Dylan in 2009. They went through the ringer during their time at Unity Reed High School, formally Stonewall Jackson High School. From all the soccer training and running endless miles during cross country practice, to helping move enormous furniture for his parents, Yelsy has always answered the call whenever needed.

Juan, in the best way possible, became Dylan's “partner in crime” during their time at Old Dominion University. They cultivated a strong friendship during those college years. At times, it seemed like they were connected at the hip. Between their shared passions for soccer, anime, and video games, they’ve continued to grow from friends to now family!

Wid has been like a big brother since Dylan’s first semester at ODU. The time they spent together on ODU’s club soccer team and other groups left an immensely positive impression on Dylan. He has always been the mature man in the room and continually advised Dylan on how to best approach various situations. When Dylan & Danica first started dating, he reached out to say “Happy for you bro. If she is worth it, don't **** it up LOL.” He’s a great example of maintaining a happy and successful relationship and marriage.

Brandon first met Dylan at Unity Reed High School, but they truly cultivated their friendship at ODU. Brandon has always exhibited the most important traits that one needs in a friend. He’s trustworthy, generous, and he also keeps it real. He’ll tell you the truth, not just what you want to hear. Brandon is always there when you need him.

Jose and Dylan met randomly while playing soccer just before Dylan’s first semester at ODU. Little did they know that moment would be the starting point of an enduring friendship. Jose is very a caring individual and brought an essential dynamic to the "ODU roommates plus 1" (Juan, Nii, Jose & Dylan) a true brotherhood.

Nii has also become a cherished friend from ODU. He has always tried to motivate Dylan to either hit the gym or spend time in the library, regardless of how they felt from the night before. Nii can regularly elicit a laugh from anyone and is continually improving the mood of any room he enters.

Danica calls her Grandma! Of course, she's been there since day one. At a very young age, she started sleepover Wednesdays. She would pick me up from daycare. We would go to Mc Donalds and then to her house. Once we moved to Virginia, she came over every week and took me, Theo and Jordyn to Mc Donalds, Toys R Us and home. My Grandma is always there for me and I am honored and blessed to have her serve as Flower Grandma.

Danica calls her Gamma! She too has been there from the very beginning. Though she lived in St. Louis, weekly calls, holidays and extended summer stays were our thing. Gamma is my "personal shopper" too. I tell her, "if you would wear it, so will I!" I trust her taste like that! I feel honored and blessed to have her with us on our day.
