Wedding Party
Nicole
Best Woman
Nicole (Jones) and I met during the first year of my Navy career. She has always been there for me. Jones is a reliable and trustworthy friend who I know I can count on. Not only is she my closest friend, but she is also someone who I know will support me on my big day and help me make it an amazing one. She has a way of bringing laughter and joy into every situation, making even the most stressful moments feel light-hearted and enjoyable. Whether it's a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, or some much-needed advice, she has consistently been a supportive and reliable presence in my life. Knowing that she will be there on our big day to help me through any nerves or chaotic moments is a comfort that cannot be overstated.
Bri
Maid of Honor
Where do I even start? Bri has been my best friend since we met in 2007. Through all of the years and changes we have experienced, she has always supported me no matter what. I can't imagine having my big day without her by my side, and knowing that she will be my Maid of Honor is so surreal because we've been talking about this since we were kids. Bri is the sweetest, most kind-hearted, loyal woman I have gotten the absolute pleasure to get to be friends with, and this is another milestone out of many that I know I will share with her. It's hard for me to find the words to describe Bri, because she has been so close to my heart for so long. She has always been someone I can trust and count on if I need her. I couldn't choose anyone better to help me keep my inner bridezilla at bay while choosing dresses, making last-minute arrangements, and helping me not cry every moment on the big day. Bri is more than a best friend in my eyes at this point, she's my sister, and I am so excited to be able to name her as my Maid of Honor.
Derrick
Groomsman
My oldest brother has been an integral part of my life since childhood, and our bond is unbreakable. We have probably seen every episode of Popeye ever made while consuming enough snacks to feed a village. I always enjoy being with him and he always gives me a reason to smile. I couldn't imagine my wedding day without him standing by my side. His presence represents not only our shared history but also the love and connection we have as siblings.
Julia
Bridesmaid
Julia and I met during nursing school, and man was that a wild ride. Not only was she a huge rock for me during those years but she is now someone I know I can always count on. I am beyond lucky to be able to call her one of my best friends, and I know that she'll support me through everything between now and when I walk down the aisle. Her selflessness and caring personality are just a few of the many things that make her an amazing friend and bridesmaid, and I can't wait to have her by my side on my big day!
Talen
Groomsman
Talen has been an incredible brother and friend throughout my life, and his presence by my side on this special occasion means the world to me. His support and genuine humor are only a small part of what makes him great. We share the same love for many things and anytime I want to do something adventurous or crazy, I know i can call him. I can't imagine celebrating without him, and I am truly grateful to have such an amazing brother in my life.
Talanee
Bridesmaid
Talanee is such a loving, compassionate woman, and is truly a ride-or-die type of friend. Ever since we met that Halloween I knew we would be friends, but I didn’t know I would one day be lucky enough to call her my sister. Between girls brunches and nail dates, I am so happy that we’ve gotten close over the years! I am so lucky to have her by my side on our big day and I know she'll bring her love, light, and party spirit to the day of my dreams.
Quinten
Groomsman
My cousin is just an extra brother. He has been a significant part of my life since we were kids. Playing basketball and endless gaming sessions on PS1 are memories that I’ll forever cherish. His infectious energy, sense of humor, and loyalty make him the perfect choice to stand by me on my big day. I know he will bring joy and laughter to the entire wedding party.
Sonya
Bridesmaid
Sonya has been in my life since 6th grade, and boy have we gone through so much, lol. No matter what life has thrown at us, we have remained close and I am so happy to have her next to me on my big day. Sonya has always given me the most supportive, loving, and encouraging friend that I could ask for, and I am beyond excited to have her with me as I get ready to walk into the next phase of my life.
Tierra
Groomswoman
I met Tierra early in my Navy career. Not only does she give great advice, but she has proven time and time again that she will always be there for me. Whether it's through good times or bad, Tierra has been a constant source of support and a true friend. Her presence on the wedding day will not only bring joy and happiness to me, but it will also serve as a reminder of the strong bond and friendship that we share. Choosing Tierra as a groomswoman was an easy decision, as she embodies all of the qualities that one would want in a friend.
Melissa
Bridesmaid
Lissa and I met when we did competition cheer together, and have always stayed close friends since. Mel is always the kind of girl to light up a room and get the party started! She is always there, even if we don't talk for a while, when we pick back up it's like nothing ever changed. I know that I can always count on her for anything, including going on spontaneous adventures out on the town. Be careful! If you leave your phone out there's a good chance Lissa's gonna photobomb your camera roll! lol
Kevin
Groomsman
Kevin and I first met while we were both training to become a Child Protective Investigator. We became close relatively quickly due to our military backgrounds. My time as a CPI was extremely stressful and demanding, but having a friend like Kevin made it so much better. There’s never been a time where he has not been supportive and uplifting for me. I know that he’ll make an amazing groomsman for my big day!
