Liz and I met while attending the NC State College of Design. While we first bonded over making Halloween costumes and crummy roommates, we quickly learned we had a lot more in common and became close friends.

Liz is fun loving and hilarious, but also down for long talks about whatever’s on your mind, which makes her a perfect BFF. She is both adventurous and organized, which means she’s often the one initiating fun activities that take me out of my comfort zone, but are always worth it!

Although she broke my heart by moving to Boston after school, she is doing great things up there. It is so fun to visit her, and see her doing so well in her new city.

Elizabeth and I met when I was born, and as cousins, we grew up together. As a kid, our visits were always so fun, and we would find all kinds of ways to get into trouble, and as adults, not much has changed, except trouble usually means eating too many snacks. Elizabeth lives in Ohio with her husband, Joe, and we usually enjoy visits at least once or twice a year!

After tearing up the dance floor at so many family weddings, and having a blast being in her wedding couple years ago, I am excited for us to dance the night away at my own wedding!

Gabie and I met through Ryan and David - they lived together their last year of college, and as the girlfriends, we would see a lot of each other. It was only after Gabie moved back to Raleigh, and we began a weekly tradition of craft + game night that we learned how much we had in common.

Gabie and I are now business partners for One & Only Custom Stationery, and probably have way more fun than two people should at their jobs. She makes me laugh so hard I cry at least once a day, and is always amazing me with her creativity. Her kindness and strength are a constant source of inspiration, and I am so glad we are friends.

The first time I realized Jessica was a special person was my junior year of college. I was at studio, and I was having a really bad week - I remember feeling so sad and alone. Jessica and I weren’t close, but that day she came up to me out of nowhere and gave me the biggest hug, and told me everything was going to be okay, at the exact moment that I really needed it.

Jessica lives in LA with her husband Dawson and their two adorable dogs, Robbie and Griffin. Although we don’t see each other as frequently as I would like, we talk a lot online and through text - she is a great advice giver and has excellent style tips.

Kellsie is my future sister in law. After growing up wishing I had a sister, I feel so lucky to be joining a family where I get two. Kellsie and I are lucky to share a lot of common interests - the beach, decorating, tequila, and Hazinskis, just to name a couple

Kellsie is a very sweet and nurturing person - she and Jason just recently rescued a kitten off the street and nursed her back to health. She is also really fun to be around, and throws a great party!

Madalyn is my cousin, and Elizabeth’s sister! Even though growing up it always felt like she was so much younger (5 whole years!) it has been fun getting to know her as a person through college and beyond. We share a lot of common interests, like decorating, fashion, and whatever recipe we’re currently obsessed with (she is the blended drink master). Madalyn currently attends Notre Dame and is doing great things.
