Wedding Party
Sarah Newcomb
Matron of Honor
Sarah is my cousin that is more like the little sister I never had. We spent every summer at our grandma's house together growing up. Now that we are older, we have become close friends and we bond over making sure our men stay out of trouble when they are together! We have been through the good times and bad times in each others lives and we are always there for each other.
Genni Lockerby
Maid of Honor
Genni was the first friend I made when I went to St. Kitts for vet school and she quickly became one of my best friends. To say I wouldn't have made it through vet school without her is an understatement. We shared so many great memories together, from hiking up a volcano, having group costumes for Halloween every year, and flooding our island rental car, just to name a few.
Allison Steele
Bridesmaid
Allison was always my mini me when we were younger and she would follow me around everywhere. Any time the cousins would get together, she was always on my team no matter what game we played because the other two "didn't want a baby on their team". Now my "baby" cousin is all grown up and we all have a good time together. Allison and I both have a love for all things Harry Potter and are always comparing our collections.
Maggie Devers
Bridesmaid
Our friends introduced us when I was a freshman in high school and we have been best friends every since. These guys had no idea what they were getting into when they let us meet each other! There is never a dull moment when they two of us are together. She has helped me to embrace my inner nerd and not be ashamed of who I really am. No matter how far apart we have been over the years, we always find a way to keep the friendship alive.
Abby Paradise
Bridesmaid
I met Abby through Eric and his friends and she is one of the sweetest people I know. She always puts others first and I've never met anyone who cares as deeply for people as her. Recently we have become closer, especially since I have started to play Dungeons and Dragons. She was my first DM and she got me hooked!
Brittani Guidry
Bridesmaid
I met Brittani my first semester of vet school at Ross. She lived across the hall from Genni and I and we were like the 3 Musketeers. She always has me cracking up with her stories, especially when she is walking around the grocery store like an old Mawmaw (if you know, you know)!
Amy Monroe
Bridesmaid
Amy and I work together at the vet clinic and what started out as a work relationship blossomed into a good friendship. You never know what kind of trouble we are going to get into at the office or on farm calls. It never fails that one of us hurts ourselves at least once while we are working together. We also have a mutual love of Loungefly bags and are constantly showing each other the latest ones we find online, even though Debbie always makes fun of us! We definitely keep things interesting at the office!
Derek Smith
Best Man
Derek has been a close friend that has helped me whenever I was in need. From letting me borrow his truck to cleaning up all my messes. We have the greatest time when we get new cooking toys. He is the best Martha Stewart I know!
Donovan Blasdell
Groomsman
It was 6th grade and all I wanted was to buy Twisted Metal from this guy that sat across from me in English class. Little did I know we would be best friends for 20 great years. Donovan taught me how to play the trumpet in high school which in turn helped me meet Ashley for the first time ever!
Colton Castle
Groomsman
See that little blonde kid in the photo? Could you believe that is my little brother? He was shorter than me back then, but now I look like the little brother because I am 5’5 and he is almost 6ft 😒 How did he get all the height? I guess because I got all the brains 😁. Colton has always been one of the most important people in my life. He has supported everything I do and whenever I am down he always helps me get back up and keep chugging along. And that’s saying something considering we are both Browns fans….
Happy Armstrong
Groomsman
If you can’t tell, me and this guy both love pizza…. Happy and I have a love hate relationship with each other mostly because he is jealous that I am a little over 24 hours older then him. He won’t even wish me a happy birthday until his birthday 😂 I once hit happy because he was being rude to his mom on the phone. Just a bit later I am asking the cashier at McDonald’s about the shamrock shake and I just get punched in the face. As me and the poor soul that was the cashier both look at him in awe all he said was that was for hitting me earlier….. but if there is one thing you need to know about Hap, it that he touched the milk last…..
Andrew Banta
Groomsman
Introducing the one and only BANTAMAN! Andrew and I have known each other since 5th grade. We have always been the best of friends. We have had some crazy adventures together. From shooting every gun we can get our hands on to travelling across the world to Thailand just because we thought it would be cool 😎. If there is one guy that will do the craziest things with me, it’s the Banta!
Tanner Newcomb
Groomsman
Tanner, better known as Tantor, has been one of the most fun people I have had come into my life. We are always getting into trouble together and getting caught by our ladies. We once were very intoxicated and took bottle caps out to the middle of a lake just to put them on all the posts that were in the water sticking up 😂 We have gone to see the ocean together and hung out in the mountains and we always seem to get into trouble somehow. Mostly when we take too long to golf!
Phillip Bentle
Groomsman
Phillip “Port” Bentle…. Talk about a crazy man… He let me attempt for almost an hour to land a toy helicopter on his belly. Needless to say, we had to many close calls with his face that it never happened! We have had some rough moments together like the time I once kicked him in the face when jumping over the couch. To this day we don’t know if his nose was broken…. This guy is a riot and one great person that I am excited to have in my wedding.
Justin Green
Officiant
"Little" brother, golfing buddy. Who could be a better person to marry the two of us. When Justin was born, I always told people I didn't want a "stupid little brother". Now I realize I wouldn't have it any other way. He makes life interesting and is always keeping us on our toes. He comes across as a big teddy bear, but mess with his girls (Sarah, Allison and I) and it's a whole different story (but good luck getting him to admit it!). He has given Eric the Justin Seal of Approval, and let me tell you that's hard to come by! I love that him and Eric get along so well, and I know he's happy to add another guy to the family.
Zuri Mumphry
Flower Girl
She was the first person to make us an Aunt and Uncle and we couldn't image not having her as part of our special day.
Iris Mumphry
Flower Girl
She was the second girl to make us an Aunt and Uncles and we couldn't imagine Zuri walking down the isle without her. Both of these girls mean so much to us!
Milo Castle
Ring Bearer
This ring bearer holds a special place in my heart. Milo is my son and Ashley’s soon to be stepson. He is a caring little boy that loves to play games, read, golf, bowl and so much more and it makes it even better that even at 9 years old he still wants to hang out with Dad and Ashley.
Reese Cook
Junior Bridesmaid
Reese is my (Ashley) cousin's daughter and has brought a spark of life into my dad's side of the family. When Reese was little, she was always so excited when I would come back to Grandma and Grandpa's for dinner and she would always have to sit next to me! I couldn't plan my special day without having her be a part of it.
Jennifer Green
Mother of the Bride
My mom is the most important person in my life and my best friend. We never went through a period where I "hated" her like most mothers and daughters do. She has been there for me through thick and thin and has always supported me. I wouldn't be half the woman I am today if it wasn't for her. I know it will be hard for her to give me away on my wedding day, but she has nothing but the greatest respect for Eric. I know she couldn't ask for a better person to give her little girl away to.
Greg Green
Father of the Bride
My dad and I have always had a special bond and he has always been there to look out for me. Starting when I was little and he was worried when I would dance on the little blue foot stool to when Eric asked him permission to marry me and he said, just like he always does, "just remember, if you hurt her" and shook his fist at him. But in all reality, my dad knows Eric would never break my heart and he has been the only guy that I have been with that my dad actually likes.
Jennifer Castle
Mother of the Groom
What can you say about this lady that everyone doesn’t already know. She is such a caring women but isn’t afraid to knock your tooth out when trying to show you how to fight when you’re just a kid…. I would know. I have put my mom through hell when I was growing up but she has always been there for me. She always makes sure Ashley and I know she loves us.
Eric Castle Sr.
Father of the Groom
My Dad has been someone I have always looked up to. I always wanted to be like him. He is such a hard worker and it inspires me to work hard a well. He also showed me how to be honest and polite, two of the biggest reasons Ashley loves me!. But besides just being a hard worker he also knows how to have fun and enjoy life. When Colton and I were little we would sit and watch Dad play video games and laugh and just have a good time. Dad also introduced me to the best kind of pizza in the entire world, Dicarlos…. If you don’t know what it is look it up. Its different than your normal run of the mill pizza I promise you that!
