My wonderful and Godly Aunt has always held a special place in my heart. This year she got her ministers licence and has agreed to lead our wedding ceremony. I never could have imagined a better person for such an important role. To make it even more perfect, she will be reading from the book used at my great great grandparents wedding. 

My cousin and oldest friend. We grew up together and have been there for each other no matter what. I have always known I could count on her for anything. I grew up envying her beauty, and that smile that could brighten anyone's day, now I envy her beauty and her strength. She is the perfect example of how strong a woman can be. I have loved her my entire life and I'm so glad she will be beside me on such an important day.

Albert's sister and my soon-to-be sister-in-law. Such an amazing person, beautiful inside and out. She has the type of personality that brings energy into any situation. As smart as she is stunning. She is always there looking awesome when I need that extra motivation to work out that day. In fact, she has been there for me no matter what I needed. I would have been thrilled just to call her my friend but  soon I will actually be able to call her family. I am truly blessed.

Albert's sister-in-law. While I haven't known her long it feels like we have been friends our whole lives. We have so much in common and I always enjoy the time we share. Our conversations have always come easily and I can be myself around her. She has been so supportive and enthusiastic. She is truly a wonderful person in every way.

Heather was the thread that connected me to Albert. She was there when we started dating, it is only fitting that she be there when we take the next step in our relationship. I have always admired how strong and independant she is and I am honored to have her stand with me on my wedding day.

We met in 6th grade and have been best friends ever since. We have shared all of the akward growing pains, school dances, first jobs, first loves and first heartbreaks. We worked through all the hard times together and enjoyed the good times. I am so grateful she will be here to share this with me as well.

My Neice, a beautiful young lady with her daddy's eyes and her mother's smile. Always full of energy and up for anything. Sweet and considerate. She constantly surprises me with her amazing personality and growing talents. We have shared so many great memories and I look forward to making more. She makes me proud everyday.

Albert's oldest Neice. Bella is an absolute joy. She grows prettier and sweeter everyday. She amazes me with how smart and polite she is. She has such an outgoing personality and is always a lot of fun. She is growing so quickly and constantly surprising everyone around with with just how bright her spirit is.

My brother, one of my best friends and now my best man. For 30 years we have looked out for each other through good times and bad. He works hard every day to take care of his family. I truly look up to him. I hope that I am as good a husband and father as he is. I am honored to have him as my brother and my best man.

My brother-in-law, a great friend and one of my groomsmen. For the short time I have known Doug he has accepted and treated me as one of his own brothers. Doug has been there for me whenever I have needed a word of wisdom or just to hang out. He works hard every day to provide for his famly. I am honored he will be there with me on my wedding day.

Alison's brother and a good man. I have only known him for a few years and don't know him as well as I would like. I do know that he is a wonderful father and a hard worker. I see qualities in him that I rarley see. I'm proud to call him my friend and look forward to calling him family.

My best friend from childhood, Josh and I have had a lot of fun together growing up, from playing ball to school projects and just hanging out. Over the years we have truly had a friendship that could not be broken. I am so glad he will be there with me on my wedding day.

My nephew, what can I say, I love this guy to death. One of the most respectful kids I know. I was blessed to live in the same household to watch this guy grow up. Over the past couple of years it's been fun to spend time with him as we share some of the same interests, from hunting to playing ball and working on his mule. Knowing that he may look up to me I hope that I am able to be a good role model for him. I am blessed to have him as a nephew and to be standing with me on my wedding day.

My Nephew and another special guy to me, whome I love very much. Grant is the comedian, the one I go to to have a laugh. Grant and I have also shared a few hunting trips and threw the ball around a little. We always have a blast and I will always look out for this kid. Even when he is all grown up. I hope that I am a good role model for him. I am blessed to have him as my nephew and share mine and Alison's wedding day.

My littlest Nephew and a very special guy to me. As I watch Justice grow he is becoming more and more like his brothers, respectful, funny, a little crazy and just a joy to be around. I know that when I need a helmet and sword he is the one I can go to. I hope to always be a good uncle to Justice. I am blessed to have him as Nephew and share our wedding day.
