Mikhaila and Ally’s friendship began in 2013, when Mikhaila joined the high school marching band as an eighth grader. With her older brother serving as both a senior leader and her ride home, Mikhaila often found herself staying at band camp long after she needed to. Ally noticed and offered her a ride home. That simple act of kindness marked the beginning of a friendship that would become one of the most meaningful in Mikhaila’s life. Ally was a constant source of support throughout Mikhaila’s teenage years, and their lives came together again at Auburn when they had the opportunity to live together at Unit #37, affectionately known as “The Nest.” Through every season since, Ally has remained a trusted voice of reason, a source of encouragement, and someone whose perspective Mikhaila deeply values. More than a best friend, Ally has become the sister Mikhaila was fortunate enough to find along the way, making it especially meaningful to have her standing beside her as Maid of Honor.

Mikhaila met Sarah during her freshman year at Auburn, where Sarah was one of the original residents of The Nest. Sarah had recently returned to Auburn after beating cancer, a testament to the strength and determination that Mikhaila would come to admire so deeply in her. Their friendship began with a memory that still makes Mikhaila smile. Sarah’s hair had grown back short and beautifully wavy, and Mikhaila decided that the obvious response was to give her one of her du-rags. From there came countless memories, including Sarah bringing home a kitten named Cash and, perhaps unexpectedly, turning Mikhaila into a cat person. Over the years, Mikhaila has had the privilege of witnessing Sarah’s strength, resilience, and determination firsthand. Mikhaila stood near Sarah as she celebrated her own wedding, and it is particularly special that Sarah will now stand beside Mikhaila as she begins this next chapter.

Wendy holds the distinction of being Mikhaila’s oldest friend. Their friendship began in 2006, shortly after Mikhaila’s family moved from Norfolk, Virginia, to Birmingham. A neighborhood bike ride with her older brother led Mikhaila to meet Wendy’s younger brother, Bruce, who invited her to dinner with his family. There, she met Wendy, beginning a friendship that has now spanned more than twenty years. Their history is filled with the kinds of memories that can only come from growing up together, from riding bikes through the neighborhood and racing one another to school to navigating college and adulthood side by side. One memory Mikhaila still treasures is one of the simplest: shortly after receiving her driver’s license, she picked Wendy up for a late-night trip to Walmart to buy milk. It was an ordinary moment that became unforgettable simply because they shared it. Today, their lives may place them hours apart, but distance has never diminished a friendship built over two decades. Having Wendy beside Mikhaila on her wedding day is a reflection of just how much of life they have already shared.

Mikhaila and Hailey knew one another before 2020, having crossed paths at gatherings and through mutual friends, but their friendship truly took shape during the months of quarantine. As university life moved online, so did much of their social lives, and a shared love of PlayStation and video games gave them an unexpected opportunity to become close. What began as late nights and early mornings gaming together developed into a friendship far more meaningful than either may have anticipated. Mikhaila came to know Hailey as someone who encourages the people she loves to step beyond what is comfortable, while never asking them to do so without her support. Mikhaila was honored to stand beside Hailey on her wedding day. Having Hailey return that gesture by standing beside Mikhaila on hers makes their friendship, and this moment, all the more meaningful.
