Evan & Chelle’s Wedding

Sister of the bride & her first best friend. Erin has been my confidant and biggest supporter. She always gives me the tough love I need, a hug when I’m down and words of wisdom about nearly everything. She’s a brainiac in case you didn’t know and a COO of her hospital [she’s the biggest boss woman around and I’m so proud of her]!

One of my favorite memories of our sisterhood has been our first thing in the morning phone calls. Since moving to the east coast it’s been a challenge to keep up this ritual but it’s something I cherish. I love talking to my sister, getting her advice, listening to her corny jokes and hearing about the big things she’s making happen!

I met Alexa at the guys Choppa City flag football game one cold Saturday winter am, where I’m certain we were nursing hangovers. She walked up to us with her boots with the fur and a water bottle filled with spiked apple cider, it was an instant friendship that day.

Alexa shares my excitement for the holidays (especially Halloween), dogs (we love our fur nieces Pix/Osa & Pearl) and of course brunch! We can talk about anything and everything & always have the most incredible game nights. We typically are chasing around our men and trying to keep up with their antics… or maybe it’s the other way around.

Evan and I love living 6 minutes away from Lexx & Johnny!

My tequila twin! It is no surprise that the first day we met, within 1 hour we already had a shot of tequila in hand with an orange dipped in cinnamon in the other hand.

Shanna and I met when both of us were attending Alyssa’s wedding in Cancun. We were roomies and now inseparable.

We both challenge one another, fight for our friendship and never let anything get in the way of our bond. Shanna has always been one of the first best friends to call and send a virtual hug. She is always down for a haunted tour and loves a good ghost story. We’ve got so many haunted adventures ahead of us - including the haunted trail next to our venue (surprise )!

BTW…FUNLV!

We are best known as kindred spirits. Kristin was one of the first gals I met in VA. She is the most thoughtful human around and always has sound advice.
Kristin and I bonded by our love of crime shows, protesting for what is right and who could forget brunch! She checks in just because and is the definition of what a true friend really is.

Oh goodness, if you don’t know our how did we meet story, are we even friends?! Alyssa and I met at our first boy/girl party in 7th grade where she some how hit her head and was bleeding, as most 7th graders do, everyone panicked but not Alyssa and I. I checked the cut, cleaned up her head and we became friends immediately.

Alyssa and I have been friends for 27 years, that’s older than my little brother ah! We have shared countless memories and heartaches. From our obsession with JC & Justin Timberlake to both of us taking leaps of faiths and moving across country, we always pick up where we left off. I am so happy to share this day with her by my side!

It’s clearly our out of the box thinking and quirky personalities that brought us together. Rachel is my Aquarius sista, we are dedicated friends and loyal to our people. Her best friend Lexx is who introduced us and we’ve been inseparable since that day.

We love our Harry Potter adventures, dance parties, hangover couch potato hangouts and tik toks/memes & the millions of horoscope videos we share back and forth on Instagram ever day!

She is an incredible mom and when the time came to pick our flower girls there was no way we couldn’t ask her amazing daughter Cora, to be in our wedding!

Friends since elementary school - is that even possible? We have been through losses of best friends, college roommates, adult roomies after college and best friends for too many years to count.

Hae Mee is my fearless protector, she always has been there for me and picked me up off the floor (literally) when I was heartbroken| going through a tough time in life.

Hae Mee is my sister from another mister!

Cheryl and I met at UNR where we always rooted for the Wolfpack. The only team in Nevada that matters! She also shares the same energy for the 49ers as I do and bleeds scarlet and gold.

Cheryl & I have had countless adventures from study parties in college to working together in LA. We always have a blast when we reunite and share our crazy student housing stories.

When I’m looking for a swift kick in the a** this is the girl who does it! She always brings me back to reality even when I don’t want to be there.

Fun fact: I called her the day before I got engaged and told her I thought it was happening that weekend. Spoiler alert - I was right!

Chels is the queen of the welcome party! She marched right over to me the day I sat down on the bleachers of Evan’s Choppa City game and said “Hi, I’m Chelsea or Chels whichever you want to call me!” She wasted no time getting to know everything about me and inviting me over to the Talhame’s! Female friendship can be tough as you get older but somehow our friendship has been easy. She’s the little sister I always wanted and I’m happy to call her my second family!
