Bridesmaids!

My girls are the best! I really love my friends and bridesmaids! It was hard to choose the bridal party because we have such wonderful friends but somehow, we were able to narrow it down! So I was just in the mood to write about my amazing bridesmaids.

Well, first there is my Maid of Honor, Cook. No, her real name is not Cook..it's Danielle. I don't know how or even when I started calling her Cook but it stuck and that's what I call her...even my mom refers to her as Cook. Anyways, she's one of the funniest people I know. She's also insane which is just another reason why I love her crazy butt! We went to high school and college together. We even shared a roommate who is NASTY so we decided to let it just be us. I miss those time. We had SUCH a blast living together. Ohhhhh the memories!

Then there is my dearest and oldest friend, Jill. We have been besties since we were 5! We went to the same preschool and lived across the street from each other. Her mom is our wedding director which just makes things that much more special!! Anywho, Jill is also one of the funniest people. She's such a beautiful person inside and out! We have our inside jokes and tons of memories growing up with one another...she's even got videos that I hope never get leaked. Seriously, you thought I was country?! Listen to me at 5 years old. I ALWAYS knew that I wanted Jill to be apart of my wedding. So basically I told her if she refused to be in the wedding then I refused to get married. haha I was kidding. But I do love her like a sister and am extremely happy that both her and her mom are apart of our special day!

Next is my Joy Belle! Her name is Joy not Joy Belle. Can you tell I like to rename my friends? haha I don't know how or when this started either! We've been friends since High School. We cheered together too! She is my gossip, tanning, lunch partner. She's such a great friend and I'm so glad that we've remained friends throughout college...even if she went to Clemson! :) It's okay, she's at USC now in grad school for Speech Pathology. She will graduate next year. I'm so excited for her!

Of course there is Karen. She is probably one of the wildest and craziest people I know! I've known Karen for a few years and we've managed to become really close. I know I can count on her for anything. She's such a wonderful friend and if you don't have a friend like Karen in your life well...then you're missing out! She keeps me in stitches-from all the laughing! I am blessed and thrilled that she will be apart of mine and Brendan's day!

Janet! I don't have name for her. Hmmm, maybe I should work on that. haha I met Janet when she started dating Justin, her now husband. And since Justin and Brendan are such great friends, us girls hung out quite a bit and of course we became great friends too! I know I can always go to Janet for anything. She is a great friend and I feel so lucky to call her one of my besties! I was honored to be apart of Janet and Justin's wedding this past summer and I'm so honored that they both are going to be apart of ours! It's wonderful to have these two in our lives!

Last, but not least there is Ashlyn!! Ashlyn is probably the friend MOST like me. I know, you already love her now, don't you? haha I met Ashlyn actually before I even met Janet! (We're all in the same circle of friends) Ashlyn and her husband, Keith are also apart of our wedding!! Ashlyn and I became really good friends when we decided to go to grad school together at Columbia College. Sitting in boring classes 8 hours a day on the weekend, can bring one close to another. Haha We took personality quizzes in class and found out how similar we were and even analyzed our friends! We had a lot fun in those classes and believe it or not, I really miss it!! That was our bonding time! Ashlyn is so wonderful and I am just soo excited she and Keith are in the wedding!

So these are my lovely, beautiful bridesmaids. I know they will look stunning in whatever dress we all pick out! haha This is just a BRIEF introduction of how I know them and what they mean to me! I love you girls!
