Besties since 6th grade and with that comes years of giggling and being ridiculous, getting lost, dreaming about owning an ice cream/random junk we love store, family vacations and grown up ones, lots of food (mostly pizza and chips), poorly executed yoga and lots of love.

I met Gabrielle at my first job fresh out of high school and I’m forever thankful for that, I’d be missing a piece of the puzzle without her! Crafting, dancing and brunching make our hearts happy when we can find the time to connect! She is basically like part of our little soon to be all Blackford family.

From the moment I met Nikki I knew I loved her and I couldn’t be happier to have her as my sister. She’s fierce, cute as a button and looks great in black. She just happens to also be my youngest brother’s fiancée, they have two adorable little boys who will be our ring bearers.

My favorite lovey person to art n fart with around town when she finds her way here to Grand Rapids. She currently hails from Ohio but is originally from Michigan. Miss Annie Banannie is an art teacher extraordinaire and one of the snappiest dressers I’ve seen. I’ve had the honor of having Annie in my life since high school and mostly we haven’t caused too much trouble.

Comes highly recommended and perhaps over priced. May ride bicycle.

Trained in the field of bearing by their father (Jacob Taylor) and rung back in by their mother (Nikki Ssssszzz).

Just wait until you see this guys smile…
