Low-key start. Loud, legendary finish.
We like to say our relationship went from “low-key” to “let’s get married in a castle.” We’ve been officially together since September 2018, but by the time everyone figured it out, we were already deep into building something real. Between three kids, endless schedules, and blending two families into one, we somehow created a life that’s equal parts loud, loving, and slightly unhinged. In July 2023, while in Italy (because subtlety has never been our strength), Josh proposed. Amber cried. The kids approved. A group chat exploded. What started quietly turned into a full-blown adventure — the kind with passports, big dreams, and now… a castle. If we’re going to do forever, we’re doing it our way. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Wedding Party
Amber Morphis
Bride
Amber thrives on vision, playlists, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting. She believes every detail matters, every lyric means something, and if you’re going to celebrate — you might as well go all in.
Josh Odom
Groom
Josh approaches life laid back and confident, particularly when it comes to sports opinions. He brings steady energy, dry humor, and has long since accepted that music decisions are not his department.
Charlotte Morphis
Maid of Honor
Charlotte steps into her role as Maid of Honor with grace, confidence, and the quiet understanding that she is clearly the most responsible person up here. She’s here to hold the bouquet, fix anything that goes wrong, and subtly keep the rest of us in line.
Colton Odom
Best Man
Colton accepted the title of Best Man after confirming there would be no choreographed dances and minimal public emotion. He brings calm energy, sharp style, and the comforting knowledge that someone up here is taking this very seriously.
Caden Odom
Best Man
Caden proudly accepted the role of Best Man without asking a single follow-up question. He’s here for the spotlight, the snacks, and the opportunity to give a speech that may or may not have been approved in advance.
Kaitlynn Barbee
Bridesmaid
Kaitlynn may seem like the serious one, but don’t be fooled — she’s just observing, collecting material, and absolutely judging us in high definition. Between her love of anime and drawing, she’s likely already redesigned this wedding in her head.
Marilynn Barbee
Bridesmaid
Marilynn brings spunk, unexpected one-liners, and just enough delightful weirdness to keep things interesting. She may not take much seriously, but she absolutely understood the assignment — mostly.
Benjamin Barbee
Groomsman
Benjamin accepted the role of Groomsman with full goofball energy and zero intention of acting serious. He’s here for the celebration, the snacks, and the strong possibility of photobombing at least one formal picture.
Robert Moser
Father of the Bride
Robert built his life on hard work, providing for his family, and having strong opinions — most of which he’ll tell you are right. As Father of the Bride, he brings the same humor, steadiness, and confidence he brings to everything else.
Kathy Moser
Mother of the Bride
Kathy has always been more than a mom — she’s been a best friend, daily conversation, and the person who already knows the full story before anyone else does. With her humor, honesty, and constant presence, she’s been right there for every chapter — usually mid-conversation.
Cary Odom
Father of the Groom
Cary has spent most of his life on a baseball field — coaching, calling plays, and treating youth baseball like a full-time mission. Now retired, he may not be running drills anymore, but he still knows how to keep things moving and call it like he sees it.
Tammy Odom
Mother of the Groom
Tammy hosts her own radio show and has never met a song she didn’t have an opinion about. A true music junkie with a microphone and a platform, she brings personality, volume control (sometimes), and a soundtrack to everything she does.
Warren Ford
Officiant
Warren leads his congregation, leads the Auburn fan base (in spirit), and probably believes he could lead the SEC if asked. An avid fisherman and even more avid Tiger, he brings steady faith, steady humor — and as one of our closest friends — exactly the kind of perspective we trust to marry us.
