Wedding Party
Dylan Shanklin
Groom
Alyssa Potts
Bride
Michael Sowers
Best Man
Mentoring: a trusted counselor or guide. In the short amount time, Michael has become a great mentor & friend in my life. From the many laughs we have had, to our love of racing, I am glad I get to call Michael a great friend!
Emilee Potts
Maid of Honor
Sisters by chance, friends by choice. Emilee has always played an important role in my life. She is one of my closest confidants and I could not imagine having anyone else standing by my side. I have loved Emilee since I found out I was going to be a big sister. Even though I may not always express it, she has helped me to become a better person. Watching her grow up, grow in God, and blossom as her own person, has been one of the biggest blessings of my life.
Ethan Garmon
Groomsman
I met Ethan when I started dating Alyssa and saw a man with a God-filled heart. As we have grown closer to over the years, Ethan has shown me what a mature great man God has placed in my life.
Nicole Gillaspie
Bridesmaid
From being my oldest sister to blessing me with the aunt title, I am so thankful to have Nicole as part of my life and standing by my side on this special day. Our countless mountain trips while I was in college really grew us closer together than ever. She gave me some of my fondest memories from college and we continue to make new memories every time that we are together. I am so thankful to call her not only a sister but a true friend.
Jaylin Brown
Groomsman
Jaylin brings the party and jokes with him. Dylan's friendship to Jaylin has brought so much humor to his life and their love of Nascar racing has helped them bond over the years. We can't wait to have Jaylin standing by Dylan's side on this special day.
Brianna Broome
Bridesmaid
When Bri came into my life, I had no clue how big of a role she would play in my life. From Emilee's choreographer to so much more, she has helped me to learn and grow as a person. In our own titles, I have played her personal assistant, babysitter, dancing partner, and now get to call her my business partner. I don't know where my life would be without her, and I am so honored to have her standing with me on this big day.
Braxton Cline
Ring Bearer
Braxton is Alyssa's youngest cousin from her favorite Uncle. Watching Braxton grow up has been a blessing. From talking to pawpaw, to using his "noculers", we just knew that Braxton had to be part of our special day. We can't wait for you to see this COOL dude as he walks our rings down the isle with Tate.
Tate Talbert
Ring Bearer
Tate, the kid that is literally like a brother to Alyssa. From watching Bri give birth to Tate, to watching Tate grow up with his mom and "daddy" Tina (Alyssa's mom), Tate brings so much light to Alyssa and her family. We can't wait to see your hearts melt as he walks down the isle with Braxton.
Rev. Jeff Upright
Officiant
Rev. Jeff Upright has been a pastor to Alyssa for her entire life. From marrying Alyssa's parents, to dedicating her as a baby, celebrating her graduation from high school and college, and now marrying Alyssa and Dylan, Alyssa has known from the beginning that she would love to have Rev. Upright be her officiant.
Aubree Mills
Flower Girl
The most perfect addition to our wedding party. I remember sitting at a baseball game at WCU when Charity texted me to inform me of Aubree's birth and I melted. This entire family has been a huge part of my life and I amm so thankful to have Aubree stand with us on this special day.
Angel Brown-Sowers
Wedding Planner
Angel is the friend I never saw coming. I grew up with her my entire life, but we were never super close until the last three years. Angel is someone who thinks like I do and can lay down the law when needed. Her organization skills and having her be a part of our special day led me to ask Angel to help us coordinate this day. I can't wait to have her with me every step of the way.
