Wedding Party
Abby Davis
Matron of Honor
We went from opponents in high school, teammates in college, and now best friends. Abby is the one that shares my love of Elvis and knows all my stories that can't be shared. We've had unforgettable adventures from New Orleans to Costa Rica. We have the type of connection where we can just look at each other and know exactly what we're thinking. I was honored to stand by her side as her maid of honor as she married the love of her life, and I am so thankful to have her stand by me as I marry mine!
Austin Cantelmi
Best Man
My other favorite redhead! I met Austin playing games online, we bonded over Skyburner's Oath and Skip Grenades during Crimson days and that was that. We made a pact to be each other's best men, and I flew out to Denver in 2021 to meet him in person for the very first time and hold up my end of the bargain. Now it's his turn!
Cailey Loudermilk
Bridesmaid
The best sister in law I could have asked for! Cailey has dealt with my brother for the past 14 years (bless her) and has been there for all the biggest milestones in my life. She has watched me go from an awkward 12 year old to an awkward 26 year old:) She has exceeded my special request to God for a perfect sister. I couldn't imagine going through this milestone without her by my side!
Daniel Loudermilk
Groomsman
Ashlyn's older brother! We've enjoyed hunting and fishing together over the last few years (even though we apparently can't hit a duck to save our lives) and have cooked some questionable foraged mushrooms. I can't think of a better way to describe, or a better man to be, my brother in law.
Jaycie Emery
Bridesmaid
I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have graduated from UGA without Jaycie. We were roommates while we [barely] survived the UGA Athletic Training program. We studied together, cried together, deliriously laughed together, and graduated together. Lottie couldn't have made it through without Sheila either (our dogs). We made it through so much together those two years and I am so grateful to still have her by my side.
Emondae Ruff
Groomsman
Emondae and I met by chance while working a football game together when I first started at Saluda. We became fast friends listening to true crime podcasts and obscure metal music, and I instilled a love for cooking into him that has lasted to this day! He's one of my best friends and I couldn't imagine having anyone else by my side on my wedding day.
Kieanna Stuardo
Bridesmaid
Kieanna is one of my best friends since high school. We haven't lived in the same state since 2015, but even with the distance I know she is there for me no matter what. She has the biggest heart and is one of my greatest supporters by always wanting the best for me. Even though we're almost complete opposites, our friendship has stuck though the years. During a basketball game in high school an opponent called us "freakin' heifers" and that is still her name in my phone to this day. I can't get married without my fellow freakin' heifer.
Josh Noethe
Groomsman
I met Josh many years ago while he was working at a coffee shop, and on my first day of EMT school I walked into the classroom and thought to myself, "Oh no, it's the rude guy from Grassroots." That quickly turned into a friendship building throughout the year, and we even decided to move in to a little apartment in Thomasville together. He's my dad, I'm his baby boy, and I am so grateful to have him by my side this April.
Taylor Beshers
Bridesmaid
Taylor is another one of my best friends from high school. She was the first one to talk to me when I transferred and everyone thought we were twins (we may have gone along with it). We have the type of inside jokes that make only us laugh until we cry, while others look at us like we're crazy. She's the one that always makes me laugh and is always there to talk about life. She's my chicken fajita nachos (no veggies) & marg lovin' best friend that I need by my side!
Paul Root
Groomsman
The Florida Man himself! Paul is one of my favorite partners and gets to witness more "Lucas moments" than almost anyone else. We've bonded over a lot of weird calls and a lot more bad jokes. He's the guy that I can call for almost anything, except maybe to bail me out because he'd probably be sitting right next to me. Maybe I can convince him to wrestle a gator for us, who knows.
Daisy Loudermilk
Flower Girl
The favorite wild child of the family and my mini me (sorry Cailey)! Don't be surprised if a few flower petals end up in your hair as she makes her way down the aisle, this may be one of the most entertaining moments of the day! Forever feeling blessed to have a mini best friend.
Pierce Loudermilk
Ring Bearer
The smiliest boy that is always in search of something to climb. He truly has no fear, especially when it comes to Daisy's over zealous love. You better watch out or he'll steal your heart like he has mine. Beyond grateful for this little man!
Terry Gardner
Junior Bridesmaid
The little sister I never had! With Lucas as a big brother, all that sassiness is needed. From the first time we met we had an instant bond. I knew I was accepted into the family with Terry's seal of approval. I'm thankful to have another sister by my side.
