Anne Marie & Blake
Wedding Party
Amanda Lawson
Maid of Honor
Amanda (aka "Ducky") was my sorority big sister. We immediately clicked and have been attached at the hip since we got paired up. We are pretty much the same person, and she is who I go to about literally anything and everything. I'm sure at some point during the wedding you will hear her husband's *not again* sigh as we get into some shenanigans together. She is also the mother to my Godson and the cutest ring bearer I have ever seen (not that I'm biased or anything).
Owen Bouchon
Best Man
Owen and I have been friends since we were born. Owen is like a brother to me. Owen and I are fans of all sports. We have spent hours playing ping-pong and hours trying to make videos like dude perfect.
Katie Youngblood
Bridesmaid
The youngest of the Youngblood bunch, and somehow got ALL the good genes. I pretty much spend all my spare time begging her to go get sushi with me, or whining until she comes over to sit on my couch and do nothing with me.
Matt Reineke
Groomsman
Matt and I have been friends since grammar school. Matt is the organizer of friends when we are all in town. Matt is also fantasy football champion for this year.
Shelby Youngblood
Bridesmaid
Shelby is my younger sister, and the middle child in the Youngblood bunch. We went from arguing constantly growing up, to ending up at the same college, in the same sorority, and even being roommates.
Nolan Amato
BEST "LITTLE" MAN
Nolan is my little brother and my best friend. Nolan enjoys playing sports, spending time with his big brother, and Xbox. I could not ask for a better brother in Nolan. He is very mature for his young age (it's cause he has such a good big brother).
Linsey Davis
Bridesmaid
Linsey and I met freshman year of high school, where we managed to end up in all of our science classes together. We survived a long distance friendship for four years while she was a whopping 45 minutes away at Ole Miss. We share a mutual love for our dogs, wine, sushi, and did I mention our dogs?
Alex Santana
Groomsman
Alex and I have been friends since his freshman year of college. We threw the javelin while we were on the track team (there are plenty of funny stories there). Alex is a handy man and isn't afraid to fix or work on anything. He is honest and isn't afraid to tell it like it is.
Linda Razany
Bridesmaid
Linda was one of my little sisters in our sorority. We formed a friendship blackout at a frat party, and it managed to stick. Linda is always the life of the party, and always keeps me laughing. She is always my go-to friend for parties or really weird, random adventures.
Wilson Phillips
Groomsman
Wilson and I share a unique bond. Wilson is like a big brother to me and has helped me numerous occasions. He has instilled great confidence in me and encourages me to reach for my biggest goals. I would not be where I am if it was not for Wilson.
Amy Koury
Bridesmaid
Amy and I both majored in the same thing in college. Because of how small CBU is, that means we ended up in almost every class together. We spent endless nights pulling all nighters together finishing projects or studying for finals. Amy is full of sass, probably the sweetest person I know, and the one person who talks as much as I do.
Chase Kesner
Groomsman
Chase and I have been friends since freshman year of college. Chase and I were also classmates and endured long nights and endless hours of studying. Chase is extremely smart, kind, and encouraging. Chase has helped me along my civil engineering journey. I would not be where I am today if it was not for Chase.
Mikayla Ortner
Bridesmaid
Mikayla and I also met in college. Her, Ducky, and I spent a lot of Wednesday nights making late night beer runs and working on homework. She has helped me plan endless amounts of parties, and has always been there every time I have stressed about literally everything. She is one of my most level-headed friends, and always balances out me being a total spaz.
John Lawson
Groomsman
John is the father of little Jay, the ring-bearer, and the husband of Amanda, the maid of honor. John and I met because of Anne Marie and Amanda. We are both quiet so that worked out well. John is an a die hard fan of Chelsea Football Club (I'm a Real Madrid fan so we had our differences). It has been great to watch John and Amanda raise little Jay.
Abbie Amato
Bridesmaid
Abbie is Blake's older sister, but has literally treated me like nothing short of family since we met. We have a lot in common, including our love for Lilly and Fixer Upper. I always wanted an older sister growing up, and can't wait to actually have one!
Bobby Broom
Groomsman
Bobby and I have been friends since freshman year of college. Bobby and I were also classmates and endured long nights and endless hours of studying. Bobby is the guy you go to when you need an answer for something that you have no clue where to go. Bobby has an endless love for anything Ole Miss. Bobby also loves the Loa Angeles Rams (we Saints fans will have to change that). Bobby has also helped me along my civil engineering journey. I would not be where I am today if it was not for Bobby.
Sadie Amato
Bridesmaid
Sadie is Blake's younger sister, but she reminds me soooo much of mine! Sadie is so sweet and so funny. I can't wait to be able to call her my sister!!
Jay Lawson
Ring Bearer
Baby Jay is Anne Marie's Godson. He is Ducky and John's son, and we have loved getting to watch him grow up. He is the sweetest, smartest, most happy-go-lucky boy. When we started planning our wedding, we knew we couldn't do it without including our favorite little man!!
