Wedding Party

Blakely Sprouse

Maid of Honor

Blakely has been my best friend since we were 8 years old. We have been through all the ups and downs that life could possibly throw at us. This girl has always been a rock in my life and someone I could always go to, to laugh, to cry, or just to be with. From the time we first went to the movies together, to late night talks on the roof, to experiencing the darkest parts of life together, she has always been right there with me. I am so blessed and honored to have her standing beside me through this next chapter of my life. If you see her at the wedding, topics for conversation could include Taco Bell, nursing, and how many weddings she’s been in.

Jacob Coppock

Best Man

Jacob is the best brother one could ask for; he's the perfect balance of sweet and stubborn. He'll have your back when you need him, and he'll slap you around when you're doing something stupid. He's laid back and caring and tells it like it is. When I asked him to be my best man, he grew very excited and smiled widely. Then, he asked "Do I actually have to do anything?" So, don't expect any elaborate speeches. If you see him at the wedding, topics for conversation could include video games, what it’s like to live gluten-free, and near death experiences.

Kirsten Bowman

Maid of Honor

Kirsten and I have been doing life together since we were young girls. Kirsten has walked by me through many challenges and always stood by me even through fire. God brought Kirsten into my life as a young kid and has only made our friendship stronger over the years. Even through testing times, not even distance could keep us apart. Kirsten and James have become best friends as well and we even joked about her being his best wo{man}, but I said she was mine first. We do everything together and I am honored to have her stand beside me once again as James and I start on this new journey. If you see her at the wedding, topics for conversation could include cosmetology, dog fostering, and lake life.

Daniel Coppock

Groomsman

Older than me by only nine months, Danny and I have been close since the day I was born. Family reunions and birthday parties would not have been the same if he wasn't there. He's more like a brother than a cousin. He's always been big and tough and kind hearted, so it wasn't a surprise when he became a firefighter! Let's hope there aren't any fire-related emergencies on the big day! If you see him at the wedding, topics for conversation could include what it’s like to be a firefighter, hunting, or his doggo, Duke.

Victoria Barham

Bridesmaid

Tori and I grew up never being apart. We were always together and it was always God plan for it to be that way. I could never ask for a better example to follow than this sweet, gentle spirit, my big sister. Sisters are meant to walk together through life, holding hands and straightening each other’s crowns. She has been a true example of the selfless love of Christ and an embodiment of his grace and kindness. I have always admired this woman and wanted to be like her. Now, as I continue into this season of life, I still strive to be the selfless, loving, patient and kind example of love that my sister is. I can’t wait to have her with me once again on mine and James big day. If you see her at the wedding, topics of conversation could include writing poetry, teaching, or Mr. Darcy.

Thomas Baggett

Groomsman

I've been friends with Tommy since we were around three years old! Our parents met at a church event and became close friends, so Tommy and I were bound to become friends too. He's always telling jokes and making jabs and don't let him stay up too late or he gets kooky. There wasn't one part of my childhood that didn't include Tommy, from church and school to Boy Scouts! If you see him at the wedding, topics for conversation could include popcorn, coffee, or Frank Sinatra.

Julia Barham

Bridesmaid

Julia is my baby sister! She has always been a light in my life and can always make me smile! Julia and I can always be ourselves together...crazy, wild and fun! We always steal glances and make silly faces at each other when no one’s looking. My jula bula has always been there for me and can read me and understand me when it feels like no one else can. She brings so much joy into my life and always fills the room with genuine love and compassion. Julia has been such a blessing in my life and I’m so grateful God made her my sister. I’m so excited I get the opportunity to have her as my bridesmaid. If you see her at the wedding, topics for conversation could include martial arts, I love Lucy, or chicken nuggets. Yes, chicken nuggets.

Joshua Barham

Groomsman

I've known Joshua for a long time. I knew him before I really knew Abby! He has recently earned his black belt and he's made sure to let me know, on multiple occasions, that he will beat me up if I joke with Abby too much! He's very artistic, creative, and funny just like his sister and his dad. I'm very lucky to be able to call him my brother-in-law. If you see him at the wedding, topics for conversation could include Star Wars, woodworking, or cartoon drawing.

Arielle Reeder

Bridesmaid

Arielle and I have always been inseparable! Growing up with her was one of greatest adventures I’ll ever have. Endless late nights, joy rides through the city, or running down trails with the wind in our hair, no matter where we are it’s a good time. I love this girl with my whole heart and we will always be kindred spirits. God made us cousins because he knew our mothers couldn’t handle us as sisters! My heart bursts with joy to have her standing by me on this day. If you see her at the wedding, topics for conversation could include modeling, her band, Vessel, or our common obsession with tiny objects.

Jason Barham

Groomsman

I have known Jason for, just like the rest of his family, a long time! I'll always remember him as a coy nine year old coming up to me during lunch at school asking for me to solve his Rubik's cube for him! He's always making jokes and playfully pestering me, like any little brother should. Jason has been calling me his brother-in-law since before I even proposed! If you see him at the wedding, topics for conversations could include football, video games, or basketball legends.
