Hey:) I’m one of Ali’s younger sisters. We first met in the hospital promptly after I was birthed. Ali is one of my best friends and I’m really excited for her and Dan’s big day!
Thomas Parker
Best Man
Thomas was two years ahead of Dan at West Point in the same company and Bible study. They grew close lifting, eating, and saunaing while Thomas recovered from shoulder surgery in his year after graduation. Since then, there have been many shooting, eating, and lifting trips across the country to spend time together.

Ken Young
Groomsman
Kenny and Daniel have been brothers since February 9 of 1997. As brothers, they ventured in their backyard as knights and hobbits, played games of Monopoly and Risk, warded off hoards of Zombies in Call of Duty, and shared many memories through their time in the Boy Scouts. Today, they are still there for each other despite the literal ocean separating them.
Lucy Pharr
Bridesmaid
Ali and I met as Freshman at Samford University, both as Musical Theatre majors. Together we braved 4 challenging and gratifying years in the department, and I can say with certainty that her friendship is one of my favorite gifts God gave me from all of college. (Not to mention I owe my sanity throughout quarantine to her.) Cheers to an exciting and beautiful start of a new chapter in her life!!! Much love
Sheldon Dillman
Groomsman
Dan and I were in company G4 all 4 years of West Point. I never roomed with Dan but had roomed with Ethan and Sutton various times. We went to Navigator's Bible study and retreats together and talked frequently senior year. I got to visit him in Ohio and down in Florida. Dan is a deeply trusted and respected brother in Christ. His stoic, peaceful, and humble attitude with occasional dry humor is cherished in our Friendship.
Abby-Shelton Storey
Bridesmaid
I met Ali freshman year at Samford, but we cemented our friendship a year later when Ali asked me to watch her “succulent” (aka secret cat) while her dorm was having room checks. Sharing a love for animals, coffee, and The Phantom of the Opera has given Ali and I plenty to gab about over the years, and I wouldn’t be who I am today without her stellar advice and level-headedness. We all know Ali is the epitome of calm, but don’t let that fool you- this girl also knows how to have a great time. Without her, I wouldn’t have had the guts to do our cruise ship’s Dancing with the Stars competition!! Ali, you’re one of my best friends in the whole world. I can’t wait to get dowwwwwn with you on the dance floor!
Sutton Norris
Groomsman
Dan and I met during our freshman year of college. Over the course of our time there we would become friends, roommates, and eventually he became my boss. Through surviving plenty of room inspections, weathering my fifteen alarms in the morning, enjoying afternoon football games, deep conversations, and weekend trips, Dan has become one of my closest friends. I look to him not only to defuse IEDs, but also complicated situations that I often find myself in. Absolutely love this man and am honored to know him!
Amanda Jackson
Bridesmaid
Samford University, freshman acting, it all began. Ali and I really got close junior and senior year when we got to work shows together. We bonded over our love of food and Gilmore girls. Ali and I were roommates senior year, along with Ashley and the loveable Rory and Suki. She was the calm to my chaos as we braved senior year. I couldn’t have gotten through it without her support and wisdom. I wish her a wonderful future and know she will flourish wherever she plants herself!
Ethan Wood
Groomsman
Ethan and Dan were company mates at West Point and became friends through their mutual friend, Sutton. After discovering they both liked to lift, go to bed early, and wake up slowly with coffee and the Word, they immediately became roommates. They remained roommates for the rest of their time at West Point and have developed a brotherly friendship that few rarely get to experience.
