I’ll take yo man blasting in the car. Your hand on my arm in every pic. Head over your sink—natural hair to glam. EYE-ii-shuh. Corn pic. Morning calls. Do you want my thoughts or to vent? Go take a bath and call me back. Why are you dressed like me? Bih we look alike. Not my circus…Steak night. Growth. Love. Late night dancing way past my bedtime. Frozen mojitos from Boeheme to go—pre-pandemic. From the beginning, you’ve been “my sweetness of all good things,” and I’m so proud of all you are.

I met Dani on her first day at the law firm in which we were both employed 7 years ago. From the first day we just instantly connected. Soon we had side by side offices next to each other, also ate lunch together. Happy Hour’d, to nights out, sporting events, rodeo, concerts, pool days and vacationing to name a few. She is a true friend that has become a part of my family. Dani is always a phone call away, and has a listening ear and will not spare your feelings when you need the real good sis talks lol, as I do not have a sister. She has definitely fulfilled that place in my heart. Needless to say after having the pleasure of knowing Dani, our friendship has always been easy. I am honored to take part in and witness such a special union of love between two special people.

I met Dani in high school, and we've been practically inseparable ever since. From the moment we met, we connected. How are you supposed to pick one memory when you've spent almost every major milestone together???? I loved all the nights when we used to go out in high school and live it up to the fullest, when we had sleepovers at The Villa doing nothing all weekend (Krystal probably wondered when I moved in, and I know my parents would wonder when I was coming home haha), and every time we'd practically rent out the theatre for all of us to go see the Marvel movies. I'm so lucky to have such an amazing friend who I've been able to share most of our highest highs and lowest lows with. Love you, Dani!

Where do I even begin! The Houston Texans brought us together! We were your favorite girls on the sideline. Dani and I would hangout after the games get a few drinks, from there the rest is history. Dani has been like the little sister I never had. We share the same love for sports, eating & drinking, nights out on the town, Carter girls events and most of all always being there for each other!

I met Dani in college and she is now one of my favorite people in the world. We were acquaintances during our time at Kansas State, but never spent too much time together.

About a year after I moved back to Houston, one of our mutual friends came into town for a long weekend. This friend invited me to do a workout class with some former KSU students in the area. Dani happened to be in that group and we instantly bonded over our mutual suffering during the 'Insanity' workout challenge. From that day on Dani welcomed me in to her life with open arms and quickly became like a member of the family. She’s been with me through so many of life's biggest moments and I can't wait to stand beside her on her wedding day.

I met Dani through Tobi in 2020. Tobi is like family but it instantly felt like I had known Dani all my life. She felt like “home”. I told him that if for whatever reason they didn’t make it I wasn’t going to give her up. And so I’m glad he made the wisest decision because now my girl is my friend, family and God-Aunty of my baby forever!

We met on a trip in Cuba…she’s been my ride or die ever since. She’s been there for all of the important moments and for all of the emotions that needed to be worked through. She’s one of the most consistent people I know, she’s family. She ALWAYS shows up, ever since Cuba. I am most thankful for that trip. I am thankful for her.

Dani is my baby sister. Confidant. Travel buddy. Champion of me. Consistent hype woman. The planner of my birthday parties when I’d rather hide. And so much more. I have had the pleasure of spending the last several decades watching the evolution of Dani. I’ve got to watch her grow in self. I admire how she always shows up for those who are important to her. I’ve seen her grow in resilience persevering through life moments that are hard, allowing herself to feel what she’s feeling, and using it as a catalyst for continued growth. I am so happy that she has found in Tobi a partner who will always show up for her and put her and their family first.

Also, Dani, you’re welcome. 😉 #insidejoke

There aren’t enough words to describe what this woman means to me and my family, nor to describe how she has showed up in my life. Dani has been such a keystone in my life for so many years, as a friend and a sister. From 2013, to graduations and relocations, she’s been there, since the first ultrasound of my son and all night through my labor, she’s been there. She is my family. Life has given us many tumbles, but also so many beautiful memories and taken us to some amazing places. I am ecstatic to stand next to her and be there to celebrate her happiness and love. To the woman who has given so many so much, I wish you the world and a joyous life. Love you!

Dani and I are line sisters, and we clicked immediately. Over the years we’ve gotten very close and supported each other through anything and everything. I’m so grateful to have her in my life and can’t wait to stand by her side as she says “I do.”

I remember when Tobi first told me about Dani. His eyes would light up every time he talked about her! I knew back then that she was special, but when I finally got a chance to meet her, I confirmed it. Dani and her bright smile showed up to my family’s home for thanksgiving two years ago and we instantly connected. She brought handmade cocktails (they were delicious), a good attitude and enough witty responses to keep up with the family banter. Since then, we have bonded in everything from champagne to Hamilton to navigating grief and loss. She very quickly became not only my friend but family to me.

When we aren’t making mimosas (with Wycliff Champagne ONLY), we are laughing and having deep, decompressing conversations about life, adulting and everything in between. As life would have it, we lost people very close to us around the same time. But because of that, I got to know not only the fun side of Dani but the vulnerable, loving side as well. I watched her go through something so tough while carrying herself with grace and an immense amount of caring for those around her, including me. And she has been consistently like this from the first day I met her. Knowing Tobi for as long as I have, I know in my heart that Dani is the perfect fit for him, and I am so happy they found their way into each other’s lives (he's better for it, I promise). But more importantly, I am so happy that she is a part of my life as well! I am honored to be by her side as she enters this next phase of her life and can’t wait to make many more memories together! Just know Dani, that as usual, I’m always going to be here in your corner (beside you, behind you or somewhere within arm’s reach) when you need to vent, flatten fly away hairs, carry your heels, pick up some comfort food or have an impromptu girls’ night because I know you would do the same for me. Congratulations again sis!

When Dani and I met there were fireworks!! No, really. There were fireworks. Dani and I met celebrating the union of Jasmine and Kirk Piper on NYE and just clicked! When my husband and I relocated to Houston for a new adventure Dani so lovingly opened her home to us -- and we have been going on adventures ever since. From San Juan to Houston, Atlanta to Scottsdale. She has been there through all of the EXTREMELY difficult mountains I have ever climbed (again, literally. Avoid the Camelback hike in Scottsdale, AZ) and I can't wait to celebrate and see her down the aisle for what is sure to be an EXTREMELY beautiful wedding and life.

Out of the many things to love about Dani, the thing I love most about my relationship with her is that it is safe. While it took time for us to get to know each other organically, from the moment we met, I felt safe around her. It felt almost too good to be true. But it's been almost two years since we met, and this couldn't be more true. This safety she's fostered has allowed us have real conversations and room to and be seen and heard. I consider myself fortunate to have ever met her and to now to call her my family.

My hands press in prayer position, my eyes close, and my whole body is calm. At this moment, Dani and I pray together at church together. She and I have this special aunt time together on some Sundays. Dani is important to my life because of the calm and love we share. We sing together, sharing our expressions and happiness. To finish our time together, she could drive me home. Instead, Dani always makes Sundays even better by having lunch together where we laugh and tell stories and enjoy the day. Dani is thoughtful, caring, and she creates unforgettable moments for just the two of us. I love my aunt.
