Alexis & Caleb
Wedding Party
Abigail Magdalene Johnston
Maid of Honor
Abby and Alexis met through their nurse residency classes at Emory. Alexis forced her friendship upon Abby by sitting next to her in class and lunch the first few days... or maybe months. However, her persistence paid off. Their little clique from residency attempts to get together as often as complicated nursing schedules will allow and they make a priority to take a girls' trip together every year. Abby and Alexis started a book club and cannot go two weeks without eating sushi together. Sarcastic remarks, being foodies, traveling, and borderline unhealthy obsessions with cheese are some of the many things they have in common.
Gregory Tyler Crow
Best Man
Tyler is Caleb's oldest friend in the bridal party. Tyler and Caleb met during freshman year of high school at football camp. However, since they went to rival schools previously they were not overly friendly with each other. That quickly faded away and since then they have been inseparable. Every good story that Caleb could tell almost always involves Tyler. They can't seem to stay away from one another for long. They were roommates in college and Tyler has now moved into the apartment building next door. They still act like they are in high school when they are together, to the chagrin of their significant others.
Brooke Ann Laing
Maid of Honor
Brooke and Alexis met while they attended Appalachian State University. One could say they were "hyper" interested in snow skiing. They were on the Alpine Ski Team together, often battling for the #1 spot. No Black diamond could tame these two. After years of practically living together every weekend, Brooke and Alexis decided to take their relationship to the next level: they picked up a puppy together, Tucker. Just this past summer, they spent three weeks traveling across Europe through England, Belgium, Poland, and Croatia.
John Robert Brinson
Groomsman
Oh Brinson, where to begin? He's the oldest, the easiest one to pick on, and always Calebs Spike Ball Partner. They met through The Kennesaw State Club Baseball Team, which Brinson managed. Although he never played, he was always one of the baseball guys. They connected through their love of Atlanta's sports teams and playing video games until they passed out. Brinson's family was gracious enough to allow them to live in their basement during the final years of college. Caleb would not have made it this far without him.
Emily Margaret Lord
Bridesmaid
Emily and Alexis went to high school together. It was at Emily's Bachelorette party in 2014 where Caleb and Alexis met. Throughout the years, they have been able to keep in touch even though they have frequently been in different states. Since the boys often have "beer brewing meetings," Emily and Alexis have found relief in wine and each other's company. Emily was Alexis and Caleb's "surprise" engagement photographer and has been a comfort through the many ups and little downs of the couple's relationship.
Josh Allen Lord
Groomsman
Without Josh, Alexis and Caleb would have never met. Josh and Caleb played baseball together at Brewton Parker. They instantly became close friends by bonding over baseball and other dumb things guys did in a town with only one red light. Josh and Caleb transferred to different colleges after one blissful year of friendship. The following years they were only able to see each other inconsistently. Regardless, they kept in touch and now hang out every week. Through their love of beer, they even started a brew club together.
Hannah Elizabeth Lail
Bridesmaid
Hannah and Alexis went to High School and Appalachian State University together. They originally bonded over their love of Spanish class jokes and cheese puffs. Now, that bond has continued to blossom over country music, wine, and cheese dip. Although they no longer live in the same town, they frequently send each other snail mail and brighten each other's days by sending gift cards. They have a very low maintenance friendship and know the other would come running should any occasion arise.
Garren Park Moore
Groomsman
Out of the five of Moore brothers, Garren is closest in age to Caleb. Growing up they were not always that close. They did not have much in common; Garren liked fishing and bugs while Caleb liked all things sports . Being the older brother, Caleb felt he had to show Garren tough love sometimes. However, as they have grown older, they have also grown closer. They bond over their passion for beer, the outdoors, and video games. Caleb still enjoys beating Garren in spike ball and video games, but Caleb does not think that feeling will ever change.
Claudia Elizabeth Mundy
Bridesmaid
Claudia and Alexis have been friends since they were new kids at sixth grade orientation. They bonded over their love for soccer and making Gatorade PLUS with the random “beverages” found at their respective houses (sorry to our parents.) Claudia and Alexis may have been considered hellions at times with their unwarranted late night escapades; no matter what they always supported each other. Whether it be decorating each other’s houses when they turned 16 or finally celebrating their 21st birthdays, they have been together through thick and thin.
Richard Blake Roller
Groomsman
Blake and Caleb met at Kennesaw State University when they joined the club baseball team. Blake was a pitcher and Caleb was his catcher (no jokes please), so naturally that meant they were supposed to be great friends. On and off the field, they were always hanging out. Eventually, Blake and Caleb became roommates. During this time, they were inseparable, from playing Halo until 4am to going Christmas tree shopping. Before meeting their significant others, one of their favorite past times was shredding at the skateparks. Now they really only shred on the slopes.
Hannah Katherine Goodson
Bridesmaid
Hannah and Alexis played soccer while in high school together. They were rebels without a cause, experiencing many firsts with one another. If one was in trouble, you knew where to find the other because she was probably involved as well. Most of their best high school stories involve each other and they know where all the bodies are buried. No matter the time spent apart, they have remained thick as thieves. Hannah was also at Emily's Bachelorette, where Alexis and Caleb met.
Alan Michael Stanford
Groomsman
Alan and Caleb met at Kennesaw State University on the club baseball team. As they played together the longest, they learned each others tendencies and were able to instinctively know what each other movements. Some of Caleb's favorite baseball road trip memories are being bunk mates with Alan or dancing on bars in towns they visited. Many great summers were spent together at Alan's lake house, where Alan taught Caleb how to wakeboard and wake surf. Together, they later taught Alexis.
Lauren Nicole Barkley
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Alexis played soccer together in high school. They started a service organization, Key Club, while in high school before they both ran off to the grand state of Alabama to go to rival schools... But we won't get into that. One of Alexis' favorite memories involves "No Hands" and way too much moscato during a fun weekend at Auburn. Lauren and Alexis have also traveled to Europe together through EF tours in 2010. Lauren got her dog, Margo, at the same time Alexis picked up Tucker, so they were able to experience all the joys of new dog moms together.
David Kent Everett II
Groomsman
Dave is Alexis' big brother. He has been around since the beginning, obviously. As children, Alexis used to break his toys. He would get mad and hit her, then she would cry and he would somehow get in trouble. Yes, it sounds very confusing to everyone except Alexis. However, as he started high school, Alexis realized he was really cool and decided they should be friends. When Dave is around everyone knows they're going to have a good time. He always keeps everyone hydrated whether on the mountain, on the lake, or cheering on his favorite NFL team, the Atlanta Falcons. Just kidding...
Brittany Lee Knauf
Bridesmaid
Brittany and Alexis attended the University of Alabama together and are Gamma Phi Beta sisters. They bonded over margaritas while frequently tanning at the pool in college. While Alexis was transitioning to Atlanta, Brittany was always down to show off her hometown and get drinks. Alexis was there for the beginning of Brittany and Steven's relationship, where they spent many weekends watching Alabama footballs games together. Brittany and Alexis would frequently travel to Tuscaloosa to see their team and relive their college days.
Gregory James Ranallo
Groomsman
Caleb met Greg while he was the sports photographer at Kennesaw State. They were also in a social group that shall remain nameless, it starts with a P and ends in IKE. They became closer as their years of friendship went on. They began to bond over beer in the Snolligoster Homebrew Club and through going to many breweries together. Caleb and Greg love to support Atlanta United, frequently tailgating before the games. Even though Greg is not very good at Spike Ball, He is still Caleb's favorite Ginger.
