Police wives have a very special bond, and that exactly what we have. This girl and I have bonded over the TV show friends, love of dogs, math tutoring, shopping, police stuff, and wine over the last 2 years. She is Dillons, best mans, fiancé and also a best friend of mine. She is also extremely close to Brantlee and they are little pals. So thankful to have her stand next to me on my big day! Love you, stacejam!

Bridesmaid
Slingin lobster- what a way to meet a best friend- but it can happen! Red lobster forced us to be coworkers but we chose to become best friends. We didnt become super close at first but the more we talked, the more we had in common and the more we contiued to click. Our babies love each other and hang out all the time. Work (closing 3421 and 11718), the zoo, santa, cookies, birthdays, parties- everything is so much fun when were together. eh eh eh eh, LY.
Alicia ('Licia) Russel
Bridesmaid
SIX YEARS- once a friendship gets to 10, science says its forever so we're pretty darn close. This girl and I have been through it all- apartments, beer pong, tinder double dates, back to back pregnancies, arguments, cuddling on the couch and so much more. No matter what, we have made it through and always stronger. She loves her bubbas (Brantlee) and her daughter, Kins, is beyond perfect. Blessed to have her by my side on my big day. Love you, Licia.
Stefanie Montgomery
Bridesmaid
In nursing school, your friends become family. September of 2017 we both walked into our first nursing class and happened to sit next to each other, and that was it. We became friends and ended up seeing more of each other than our own family. 6 A clinicals, cramming all night with either wine or summer shandy, pool dates, her taking my anxiety from 300 to 10, birthday dinners- its all been done. September of 2018, our school closed. We went on separate paths to finish but have stayed close through it all. If ONE person will tell me to "STFU" on my wedding day and to breathe, its her- & Im thankful she will be standing next to me. Love you long time.
Kayla Kirkpatrick
Bridesmaid
FAMILY! We become family on 9/8/19 and I am so excited to finally be that. I met this lovely woman in highschool and we were aquaintances but no matter what were always there for one another. 2 years ago when Dillon and I started dating, she was our biggest fan and has continued to always be. We have grown closer, talking constantly and always a text away. She is the most amazing mother, friend, aunt, and person to everyone she meets and I am beyond blessed to soon call her family. Ly Kayla, so much.
Amy Whitten

Amy and I met at red lobster 2 years ago. At first I thought she hated me but we quickly realized that we are very similar and our children are twins so we had to be besties. I cannot wait for her to stand next to me on my big day- even after she threatened me with a hookey! LOL Love ya Amy
