Amie & Jason
Wedding Party
Garrison Coney
Best Man
I met Garrison when we were in college. I was a sophomore at the University of Arkansas and Garrison was a freshman. We both were pledges in a Fraternity called Beta Upsilon Chi. We ended up living together for several years and spent a lot of time hanging out on the lake and taking road trips. He is one of the most down to earth guys I know.
Chris Oliver
Best Man
Chris and I met through a mutual friend via facetime. I was hanging out with a buddy and Chris facetimed him. I answered and we starting talking about hunting and whatnot (Chris was at deer camp in Illinois at the time). We ended up getting together weeks later for a wild duck hunting adventure. Since then, we've been roomates, been on several trips, and have had some hilarious memories.
Gunner Delay Jr.
Groomsman
Gunner and I met through a mutual friend of ours. One of our most memorable adventures was when we trekked through a swamp for hours and nearly sunk in some quicksand type mud duck hunting. It was probably just above 20 degrees that day and I remember Gunner taking his shirt off and steam rolling through the air. We've taken several other trips together and have had lots of great memories. He's been the guy that is just a few steps ahead of me in life and someone I look up to and ask for advice on a-lot of things. He is someone that will give you his honest opinion no matter the circumstances. He should have been a pastor.
Sam Brehm
Groomsman
Sam and I met through our Fraternity at the University of Arkansas. Sam was a freshman and a pledge in Beta Upsilon Chi. He asked a buddy of his who to preference as a "Big Brother" for Big Brother Night and they told him to put me down. I became his Big Brother or mentor and we've still kept a connection to this day. We spend a lot of time in the summer on the lake and Sam has recently taken up hunting. He's only missed two deer this year.
Natalie Dickter
Maid of Honor
Natalie and I have been best friends since the 6th grade. We have been through so much together.. from the terrifying high school initiation as freshmen to going off to separate colleges; we have remained close throughout the years no matter how many miles separated us. Natalie is one of the most outgoing, fun and caring people I know. From celebrating her birthday in ponchos in the pouring rain to always.. ALWAYS having a terrible New Year’s Eve no matter how hard we try, we laugh it off. I feel so fortunate to have an amazing best friend and I’m honored to have her as my maid of honor.
Tonia Hanson
Bridesmaid
I met Tonia on the day that Jason carved our initials in the tree and asked me to be his girlfriend. That day, we got the side by side stuck in the mud, like really stuck.. and Tonia and I both cracked open a cold beer and just laughed it off. I knew immediately that Tonia and I would get along great - she has always been so laid back and down to have a good time! She has the kindest heart and always a positive outlook. I’m so excited to be her sister!
Taylor Rolland
Bridesmaid
I met Rolland at work when I first moved to Fayetteville as a new vet school graduate. Before I met her they told me there would be another new graduate joining as well.. which I was nervous but excited about. Little did I know, having her as a coworker would be the biggest blessing. She is humble, a freaking genius (though she won’t admit it) and such a kind person. We have become so close over the past few years. I always look forward to our yearly trips for continuing education where we have an awesome time! I’m so fortunate to have a coworker that has turned into a lifelong friend.
Erin Jobman
Bridesmaid
I met Erin in vet school, we were roommates our first year. We became extremely close over those years and endured the ups and downs and countless hours of studying. We were part of the best group of asshat friends anyone could ask for. Our first annual road trip our man-van broke down in the middle of the Arizona desert but we still managed to have the time of our lives, even if we are still banned from that local bar and grill. Since graduation, Erin and I have stayed close through all the life changes, job changes, moves even though we are multiple states away. She can always cheer me up with cynical humor when I’m feeling down, and she’s my biggest hype man.
