Wedding Party

Aubry Ballard

Maid of Honor

My sister and forever best friend, Aubry, has been the light of my life since the day she was born. I remember feeling instantly enamored with her—she wasn’t just Mom or Dad’s baby; she was my baby. That protective, loving bond has only grown stronger over the years. Aubry has been there through every twist and turn of life, understanding me in a way no one else can, because she’s lived it all right alongside me. We’ve faced life’s challenges together, life's highs together, and I’m so grateful to have a sister who knows my heart and soul so completely. Aubry is smart, goofy, beautiful, and so much fun to be around. Her eye for design, attention to detail, and perseverance are second to none. She brings so much joy and creativity into everything she does. She loves all things white, and her spirit animal, the otter, perfectly reflects her playful and loving nature. There’s no one else I’d rather have standing by my side on this special day. Aubry, thank you for being my constant, my confidante, and my forever best friend. I couldn’t do this without you. Love you, baby sis!

Davis Jackson

Best Man

Bonded by blood, Brothers by love. Davis has been there since day one, literally. Davis is a great American who values family and friendship. I'm honored to have my brother as my best man. We have been through a lot over the years: we put down our boxing gloves during my 14th year of life and formed an unbreakable bond. Thank you for always being there, I know you will be for the rest of our lives. Quinn and I couldn't be happier to have you in our corner.

Nathan Harling

Man of Honor

I honestly have no idea what I'd do without Nathan. He’s the friend I talk to the most, lean on the most, and can count on for just about anything. Wil jokingly refers to Nathan as 'my other partner-in-crime,' and it's hard to argue with that. Nathan knows me better than I know myself half the time, and let's be real—he’s a better friend than me 99% of the time (You happy now Nathan?). HOWEVER, My mom once said of Nathan "At first you'll hate him, then you'll lower you expectations and learn to love him". So is he a better friend, or are my expectations just really low now? (Joking Joking!) Whether we’re catching a Broadway show in NYC, brunching in Vegas, sipping wine in Napa, or dining at Michelin Star restaurants in San Francisco, we always manage to have the best time. He’s the perfect mix of sarcasm, wit, and unwavering loyalty, and I couldn’t imagine this day without him by my side. Wil and I are lucky to have you!

Jade Garrett

Best Woman

Jade- How to describe my best good gal. I believe this is the first time I have ever put this down on paper. Jade and I met through the University of Kentucky shotgun team. A very inconspicuous beginning to a wonderful friendship. We grew our friendship through many "adventures". Adventures that included Jade almost being eaten by a rabbit and coyote. A 2000 mile road trip to move Jade from Louisiana to Colorado. We always make a point to go visit each other regardless of where we currently are. Colorado, West Virginia, Alaska, or Nashville. Jade is proudly on my side because no matter how light or dark life gets she has always been by my side to live them with me.

LeChae Kistner

Matron of Honor

My soulmate and better half (though I suppose that title belongs to Wil). LeChae and I met in college, and after a brief... adjustment period, we quickly became inseparable. She’s been my rock ever since—keeping me grounded, calling me out when I need it, and always being the voice of reason I can count on. She’s the person I turn to for advice, the one who knows exactly what to say (and when to say it), and someone who makes every moment brighter just by being there. LeChae’s energy is infectious; she lights up any room she walks into, and her gravitational pull draws people to her effortlessly. She’s not only stunningly beautiful but also so much fun to be around. I truly couldn’t imagine life without her, and I’m beyond grateful to have her by my side on this special day.

Landon Caudill

Groomsman

Moving back from West Virginia was a heck of a whirlwind. Landon and I had spoken to each other probably five times through college. When I was moving back from WV I called Mickie Johnson and said you know anybody who is looking for a roommate and Landon came up. We signed a lease together and the rest is history. From there we have blazed a hunting rifle in Wyoming, fished the salmon run in Alaska, and are stepping through life at the same speed. Landon and I now share a wedding anniversary. I'm sure more adventures are to come! Landon and I have a friendship built of words and action. Our favorite thing to do is take any random subject and break it down to its base over a good bourbon.

Madeline Wechter

Bridesmaid

Maddie and I have been best friends for over 15 years, and she’s truly one of my favorite people in the world. Fierce, strong-willed, and determined, she’s the kind of friend who will stand by your side no matter what. Her kindness and thoughtfulness have the power to brighten even the darkest of days, and I’m constantly in awe of her. Madeline is not only a beautiful person inside and out, but she’s also an incredible rock climber, a dedicated runner, and an all-around badass. She’s the life of any party, with a natural talent for making everyone feel instantly comfortable and welcome. I’m so incredibly lucky to have her in my life, and there’s no one else I’d rather have by my side on this special day.

Jay Townsend

Groomsman

Two Southerners lost in Alaska. Jay is married to Becca who worked with me at the Anchorage Sportsman's Warehouse. We quickly became great friends. So much so that Jay invited me along to one of the craziest hunts I have ever been on. Bison hunting in Alaska..... in March. Crossing a frozen river on foot and taking a once in a lifetime tag is a memory that will last a lifetime. Jay is a man of principle a credit to his family and his upbringing. I am honored for Jay to stand with me during my wedding- He is a witness that is above reproach. Two years or a lifetime later Jay will always be someone I call friend.

Emily McGough

Bridesmaid

Emily and I have been ride or dies since high school, and for over 15 years, she’s been a constant source of joy and support in my life. She’s the sweetest soul, a wonderful mother, and I so admire how she has always stayed true to herself—no matter how many times she changes her mind! Seriously, Emily is the most indecisive person ever, and it drives me absolutely crazy, but it’s also what makes her so wonderfully, perfectly Emily. Always up for an adventure, she’s the first to dive into my hairbrained ideas, making every moment more fun. —give her a shot of tequila, and she’s the life of the party! I’m so grateful to have her by my side on this special day.

Mickie Johnson

Groomsman

F'10- Mickie and I had humble beginnings as friends. We pledged FarmHouse together at the University of KY. Then we proceeded to live together throughout college for 4 years. We are the friends that can not talk for months and pick it right up where we left off. Mickie is a true friend. I cannot count the amount of times we went off on an adventure together. I think where we found our true friendship in the fact that time disappears when we are together. Fishing, hunting, hanging out for hours on end without the need for entertainment. A large part of my adult life has had Mickie in it. And I don't see that changing.

Ali Jackson

Bridesmaid

My sister-in-law and one of the most hardworking, dedicated people I know. She brings incredible energy and love to her family. She'll be the first person to call you out on your bull poop, but also the first to offer helping hand out of said bull poop. Hailing from Iowa, she has an appreciation for nature and agriculture. Her adventurous spirit has taken her on exciting journeys and new experiences, from New Zealand, to Hawaii. I'm thrilled to have her by my side on this special day!

Thomas Loxley

Groomsman

Friends from first grade. Thomas and I have been on the same path for many years. St. Anns Elementary, High School, Boy Scouts, University of KY, Farmhouse Brothers. We have seen many things together. Thomas is one person who I will forever respect his advice and friendship. Thomas is a Family man and look forward to see how well his children learn the values we learned together.

Chloe Miller

Junior Bridesmaid

My not-so-little baby cousin, Chloe, has held a special place in my heart from the moment she was born. We’ve always had a unique bond over our shared love for pink, books, Barbie, and all things vintage. At just 16, Chloe is hands down the smartest person I know. Growing up, I babysat Chloe and her older brother Carson (who is DJing the wedding!) all the time. Neither of them could quite say Alex, but they could say my sister Aubry’s name—or their version of it, 'Aubie.' So for a long time, Chloe and Carson lovingly called us both 'Aubie.' Chloe and I talked about her being in my wedding for YEARS (although I thought it would be as a flower girl not a bridesmaid...). So on this special day, over a decade later, Chloe gets to stand next to 'Big Aubie' and 'Little Aubie,' and I couldn’t be happier to have her by my side.

Ansel Lee Jackson

Ring Bearer

We're thrilled to have our little nephew, Ansel, as our ring bearer! By the time our wedding day arrives, Ansel will be just over 2 1/2 years old, and he's already bursting with energy and curiosity. He loves everything to do with tractors, cows, tools, and the great outdoors—he’s all boy through and through! With his bright mind and endless enthusiasm, we're sure he'll add a special touch of charm and joy to our big day.
