I met Mandy at the start of my sophomore year of college, when she was assigned to be our fourth roommate. It didn't take long for us to get to know and love Mandy! She has always been an example to me of kindness and sincerity. I love the memories I have of her- especially as she would brainstorm tricks to play on our dates and fun things to do with our friends. Mandy always helped everyone feel comfortable and have fun together! Thanks for always being a great friend!

I also met Mandy my sophmore year at BYU. She moved in with my good friends, Tracie, Tammy and Meghan after a series of mistakes in housing arrangements. We all knew very quickly that we'd been the victims not of a mistake but a huge blessing. Mandy radiates joy. She has the most wonderful laugh and smile and always makes everyone she is around feel important. Mandy makes this world a better place! Love you girl!

What a great idea, thanks for putting this together! I'm Bethany, one of Mandy's future sisters-in-law. My husband, Nate, is Jeremy's brother.

We've all given Jeremy a hard time for being single this long (or maybe that was just behind his back), but we're also all thrilled that it's Mandy that's changing all that -- she is well worth the wait.

Although I don't have any college stories to share, I will say that I'm delighted to have a new sister-in-law that is genuinely nice and good. (We could all tell right away that she's a good person, and I love good people!) I'm also really happy that all my kids love her already and feel loved/liked by her as well.

We're thrilled to claim you, Mandy!

Well, I'm the lucky mistake that got Mandy as her room-roommate for three years in college. I love her so much! She taught me that it's okay to listen to church music during the week :), not to stress too much about appearance, to love people for who they are, and to hold on tighter to blenders on balconies... we had so many great times, and I'm looking forward to plenty more-- with real, not imaginary-- men at our sides! Love you, Mandy! You're an amazing person and friend.

When I think of Mandy I think of happiness! She is a bright joyful person to have around. We roomed together at BYU for a few years and it was fabulous! Congratulations Mandy, I am sooo happy for you!

I grew up knowing Mandy. We were in the same ward. She was wonderful and I don't have a single bad memory of her, although she may not be able to say the same of me... :) She was the person everyone loved and everyone wanted to be like. She was always a stunning example of kindness, love, fun, and excellence. She is someone everyone looked up to! I was a couple years younger than her and she was always so kind to me as an awkward Beehive. :) I have always loved her and have always been so grateful to call her a friend! I love you, Mandy! Congratulations on getting married!

Your comments remind of the saying you can't get a dollar out of 15 cents. You are all so kind. I am so blessed to have such good friends. I always feel stronger when I am around and with you. I am so excited to see you all at the wedding!

I met Mandy when I was one day old. She wanted to name me Kermit. I'm glad that didn't happen. Over the years we have had a close brother and sister relationship. I feel like I've known her my entire life.
