Wedding Party
Keri Seamon
Maid of Honor
Keri is Amanda's oldest sister and best friend. Keri has been with Amanda through every walk of life and was always there to give advice, love, and hand-me-downs from the very beginning 24 years ago. Keri takes the stress out of any stressful situation and brings joy wherever she goes. It will be her duty to make sure Amanda's hair, clothes, and pictures are perfect throughout this entire wedding process. It only makes sense that after years of looking to Keri for advice and help, Amanda will be doing this once more on her Wedding Day.
Austin Anderson
Best Man
Austin is my brother and best friend. Growing up, we were practically inseparable. Austin has grown up to be an incredible man, and one of the opinions I values the most. Over the years, Austin has shown time and time again that he's there for me no matter the time, circumstance, or distance. He even drove 11 hours to surprise me by being there for my engagement. Gestures like that show how selfless Austin is, and I could not be more honored than to have my brother standing by my side on my wedding day. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Rachel Anderson
Bridesmaid
Hearing how highly Daniel spoke of his sister before meeting her, I already knew she was someone special. But nothing could have prepared me for the sister-in-law that I am now so blessed to have. Rachel is one of the most witty, kind, and selfless people I have ever met. She could make anyone laugh in any situation and is so fun to be around. I can't wait for Rachel to start school at UGA in the fall just an hour away so we can continue to make memories together.
Austin Seamon
Groomsman
Austin is Amanda's brother. From the very beginning of our relationship, Amanda has told me countless stories about her younger brother. It wasn't long after meeting him that I began to understand why Amanda adored her brother so much. He's nothing short of amazing and has one of the biggest hearts I've ever had to pleasure of knowing. He's selfless, thoughtful, and steadfast. I can't wait to add a new brother, although, I've felt like Austin was family for quite some time already.
Christina Graves
Bridesmaid
Christina is one of Amanda's oldest friends. It all started in Orchestra class in 7th grade. They went on a field trip together and became best friends almost instantly. Christina is the only person that could convince Amanda to do something like hop on a plane for Maryland on a whim, dress up like cows and drive to every chick-fil-a in a 40 mile radius, or sing Justin Bieber karaoke in front of an entire restaurant of people. They have some incredible memories together. Their friendship continued to grow despite different colleges, and even different countries... no amount of distance or time could ever bring them apart.
Kody Belcher
Groomsman
Kody has been one of my closest friends for a number of years. We met in 6th grade, but our friendship truly developed in high school. Enduring the ups and downs of high school sports forged a close relationship. Kody is one of the friends I consider most like myself. We're both quiet and laid back. In fact, my mom used to ask if we even talked when we were hanging out or if we just sat quietly and did whatever we were doing that evening. Truth be told, it was a mix of the two, and will continue to be for many many years to come.
Kristin Porche
Bridesmaid
Kristin is one of Amanda's oldest friends, having met in 7th grade English class. It was an instant friendship that started with a class project in which we needed to make flan. Flan, for those of you who don't know, is a pastry or sponge base, containing a sweet or savoury filling (as defined by wikipedia). As we were pouring can after can of condensed milk and powder into a mixing bowl, I was almost sure that nothing good could come from it... but I was wrong, our friendship did! As our friendship grew, we created many more memories (and many more disasters...) and we plan to continue this trend into the future.
Caleb Simons
Groomsman
Caleb is one of my oldest friends. He has a unique ability to make anyone laugh in just about any situation. Very few people have brought as much joy and laughter to my life as Caleb has. From freshman year baseball to wreaking havoc in Dr. Arrington's anatomy class, many of my fondest memories begin with, "Caleb and I..." However, mine and Caleb's friendship is much more than just laughs. Caleb has been there through the highs and lows, and has never failed to come through. It's only fitting for Caleb to be standing alongside me as he has for so many years.
Jillian Van Etten
Bridesmaid
Jill and Amanda were brought together through mutual friends. It was nothing short of fate itself that Amanda was looking for a roomate the night one of Jill's roomates backed out. When they began living together, they quickly became best friends. Jill and Amanda did everything together, even if it meant running to walmart at midnight for a notebook or toilet paper. If living together wasn't enough, they even worked together at the coffee shop! Jill is one of those rare people you could never spend too much time with. She knows how to bring people together in a way that comes so naturally to her. In fact, it was Jill's birthday party where Daniel and Amanda met.
Heath Durand
Groomsman
Heath and I became friends in high school through baseball. For the longest time, not many people knew that Heath actually spoke. Only his closest circle of friends ever heard him talk. People used to think the group of guys was crazy, laughing at nothing. What they didn't realize was that it was always Heath saying something ridiculous that only we could hear. Although other people now know he speaks, he still has a personality that only his closest friends really know. Knowing the real Heath, I'm honored to have him standing with me on my wedding day...probably saying something obscure that will have all the groomsmen trying to hold themselves together.
Kathleen Vodzak
Bridesmaid
Katie is Amanda's cousin, best friend, and spirit animal. Amanda has always looked up to Katie from a young age and learned many things from her over the years. Some of these things include but are not limited to: dancing to N'Sync music circa 2002, sneaking your own wine and bottle opener into a winery to avoid corkage fees, and how to take a proper picture (always take the photo from high above with a downward angle). Katie is a part of some of Amanda and Daniels best memories including the 4th of July, the Philly incident, and our New York trip in 2016. Without Katie in her life, Amanda would surely be lost.
Cade Hardin
Groomsman
Cade and I go way back. Of all the people I know, Cade has one of the biggest hearts. He has a gift to really care about people, and I've been the beneficiary of that on many occasions. Cade would give the shirt off of his back for any of our friends. He's always been there...even if he's usually a few minutes late. One thing is for sure, Cade's gonna make any situation a good time. I can't wait to have Cade be a part of our wedding.
Rachel Bone
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Amanda actually met through Daniel right around the time they first started dating. One of Rachel and Amanda's first conversations was right after Daniel's 22nd birthday party and it was about whether or not they thought Daniel was interested in Amanda. A couple of super bowl parties, "the bachelor" nights, and dinner dates later, Rachel and Amanda became even closer than Rachel and Daniel. Amanda knew Rachel was a life-long friend when they spent an entire weekend together watching lifetime TV shows and sipping wine.
Justice Ware
Groomsman
Justice is the most recent to join the friend group, but if feels like he's been a brother since freshman year like the rest of us. He's got one of the most contagious laughs I've ever heard. We've managed to fit about 10 years worth of stories into 3 or 4 years. I like Justice because he laughs at all my jokes. I don't think he's ever heard anything he didn't think was hilarious. Justice has very quickly become one of my best friends and I feel #blessed. About to get #slayed.
Kendall Quigg
Bridesmaid
Kendall and Amanda met in 2014 in cognitive neuroscience class at UGA. Studying together was difficult to do since they always had so much to talk about. Kendall quickly became one of Amanda's best friends and became her go-to girl for breakfast dates before class or long talks on the phone lasting for hours. Kendall played an important role in Daniel and Amanda's relationship, helping give Amanda pep talks before dates, and analyze text messages. Where would Amanda be without her?
Stephen Crawford
Groomsman
Mine and Stephen's friendship stretches back to elementary school. We were roommates on two separate occasions in college and have remained close friends for over 15 years. Stephen has a unique personality and can light up a room with his sense of humor and easy going nature. Stephen and I attended nearly every football game for 5 years at UGA. That included painting our chests like idiots on two separate occasions. We've had no shortage of fun and exciting times together, and I'm looking forward to adding another to the list next June.
Yasmin Rosshandler
Bridesmaid
Yasmin is Amanda's newest best friend. They met in their first year of medical school together at PCOM-GA. Yasmin and Amanda clicked instantly and studied together pretty much every day. They keep each other sane through the insanity that is medical school. They shared many laughs, and many many tears, and will surely share more. Their finest moments include crying in the anatomy locker room, eating chick-fil-a multiple times a day, measuring each others heart rates before exams, and sneaking Amanda into Yasmin's Ivy league college alumni events. Yasmin and Amanda will surely be referring patients to one another in the future.
Garrett Matthews
Groomsman
I met Garrett at orientation for Pharmacy school a little over 3 years ago. Little did I know, he would become one of my best friends. Although, I'm really not sure how because he was never in class. The times that he was there, we laughed until we cried. We all need that one friend that can't whisper, always crosses the line, and just makes life a little bit more fun and that is what Garrett has been for me. All laughs aside, Garrett also been someone I could trust and talk to about anything. He is truly a great friend.
