To my little brother: Sammy’s love for spencer started a long long time ago back in 1999. As Spencer’s older brother, he was faced with the challenge of being his entertainment as well as setting an example of what not to do. Quality time was spent sneaking out riding bikes around whitmore on late summer nights, 2am McDonald’s runs, sporting events, and family time. External factors didn’t matter- Spencer and Sammy have stood by each others sides through thick and thin. There is no bond quite like brotherhood..even with the slight chance that one of those brothers heads goes through the drywall! Sammy is so excited and happy to welcome his new sister into the family and love both of his new nephews unconditionally!

Matt's friendship with Spencer, a bond forged through LTU football and those legendary late-night M-10 cruises to Berkeley Coney Island, is a testament to shared joy and enduring camaraderie. Spencer's ability to uplift others, to find the positive in any situation, is something Matt deeply values. He's thrilled for Spencer and Natalie's union, witnessing how their complementary spirits enhance each other, and the beautiful family they're building together. Their combined drive, their shared passion for pushing everyone around them to be their best, and their love are truly remarkable, and Matt is so happy to celebrate them

Spencer and Trevor’s friendship started before birth, thanks to the brotherhood their fathers shared in college, and since 1999, they have been inseparable. Throughout their 26 years, Spencer and Trevor have shared countless good times - whether it be summertime adventures on the lake, yearly snowmobiling trips in the UP, or everything else in between. Wherever the road took them, they found a way to make memories. Growing up with sisters, Spencer was the closest thing Trevor has had to a brother, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. Trevor has always admired Spencer’s attitude, confidence, and determination to achieve whatever he sets his mind to. Now, as he starts this new chapter of being a husband and a father, Trevor has no doubt that Spencer will be a blessing to Natalie and her boys, as they will be to him.

Austin and Spencer's friendship began on the football field in second grade. From that moment on, they played every sport possible together. What started as a friendship rooted in sports quickly blossomed into a lifelong bond filled with countless adventures, laughter, and cherished memories through every stage of life. Whether navigating the challenges of school or celebrating each other's milestones, Austin and Spencer have always been there for one another, proving that true friendship knows no bounds. Their enduring camaraderie is a testament to the strong foundation they built together all those years ago. Austin is filled with joy for Spencer and Natalie as they embark on this new chapter of their lives together, knowing that their love and partnership will create a beautiful future.

Bryanna has been obsessed with her big (but actually very little) sister Natalie since day one. Growing up, her favorite memories consisted of “sister dates” where Nat would take her to do fun things and always included matching outfits!! She moved to Michigan for college to live with Natalie and nanny Julian, which was a very special time for Bryanna. She has always admired Natalie for her incredible strength, her sweet way of making her loved ones feel special, her determination, and the way she loves so big. Bryanna is so happy for Natalie, Julian, and Emerson for finding someone like Spence who can match their big hearts and fits so beautifully into their family. Cheers!!
