Gina taught me so much about friendship and what it means to love someone and stay by their side through thick and thin.

Each of my sisters holds a special place in my heart and has helped me through different parts of my life. Therese was my mentor and one of my role models in my highschool years as I learned to navigate the world.

Clare has always been a friend to me since childhood and was with me through the beginning of my highschool years during which we got very close and became partners in crime and confidants.

She has always been the one I looked up to and wanted to be like. It's been a rocky road, but the older we have gotten, the closer we have gotten and it's been amazing to be in the same stage of life as her now!

She was always my closest sister growing up. She knows me well and we have a special bond that has withstood the rest of time. She has taught me how to lighten up in life and also the immense power that kindness can have.

She has been my best friend for the past couple years. We have grown closer than I ever thought possible. We understand each other in a way that I didn't think could ever be.

She is one of the sweetest and best people I know. She's always been happy for my happiness and supportive during my struggles. Since college I've gotten to know her better and it's been a true blessing!

She's almost always up for an adventure with me and she's a hoot. I've truly enjoyed all of our epic adventures in the past couple years. She's becoming such a strong woman and I'm proud to be a part of it!

She's always ready with a hug and all the love in the world. She's there to lend a helping hand and often makes me laugh. She's a beautiful and gentle soul.

I was her little mommy and we've had a special bond since infancy. I'm so glad that now she's old enough to walk me down the aisle.

Though we are not sisters by blood, we are sisters by heart. Her coming into mine and my family's lives is one of the most beautiful blessings we have ever received.

I met Steve after college and after climbing the St. Marys water tower to the tune of some German death-metal (but not before attending compline) we quickly became friends.

From the day he first cornered me in the college dorms and interrogated my ethnic purity with a thick foreign accent, I knew we would be friends. Since then I've gone to visit him in France three times. This will be his first time returning to the US since college.

My first impression of Joe was that he was a man of few words. I quickly learned (the hard way) that beneath that calm exterior lies a sharp mind and a dry wit. He's a master of language, wielding words with a skill leaves the best of us positively befuddled.

Ahhh, Philip, my new brother-out-law in proximate potencia! I haven't know Philip long, but from what I've seen, Anne chose well.
