Claire & Austin
Wedding Party
Alexis Nelson
Maid of Honor
We met our freshman year of college and it wasn't until Sophomore year that we became close friends. Here's to Tridelta for making us Co-Activities Chairmen together and starting a life long friendship!
Kenneth "Kenny" Fasone
Best Man
Kenney and I first met during the summer of 2011 at Marine Corps Officer Candidates School. Since then, the Marine Corps has made us inseparable roommates. We attended The Basic School in 2014 as members of the same platoon, Field Artillery school in 2015 and were both stationed in Camp Lejeune afterwards, where we still live together with his wife Hailey.
Natalie Burkhardt
Bridesmaid
Natalie is not only one of my best friends, but she is also my sister-in-law. Natalie is the sister I never had and has been the most wonderful addition to our family and I can't imagine getting married without her by my side.
Scott Lovett
Groomsman
Scott and I both attended A&M together and were both very involved in the University and the Corps of Cadets. We were both members of the Ross Volunteer Company as members of first platoon, also known as Tree Platoon, because only those gifted with being tall were put into this platoon. Scott and me and many other close friends also started our own Bible study at his house the year after we graduated. Even though we see each other rarely due to distance, I consider Scott one of my best friends.
Elizabeth Cornwell
Bridesmaid
Liz and I have known each other since 7th grade when I not only moved schools, but also moved soccer teams. She was my roommate at soccer camp and we have been friends ever since. We even got to be roommates once more when she studied at VCU!
Orry McDonald
Groomsman
Orry is from Tennesse and atteneded Ole' Miss. Orry and I served in the same battery as Platoon Commanders in 2015. We both deployed together in 2016 on the 22d MEU to the Mediterranean and Middle East. Orry was someone I could always relate to because of our southern heritage and similar interests in outdoor activities. He is was also someone I could go to so I could vent my frustrations with life as a Marine and to bring me back down to earth. Orry is currently serving as an Instructor/Inspector for a Reserve Artillery Battery in California.
Shannon Rollins
Bridesmaid
Shan and I have been friends since our freshman year of College. We lived on the same floor and quickly became close friends. We discovered our mutual love for food, dressing up as Harry Potter characters and spending hours in the dining hall scoping out boys..and food.
Tim Waters
Groomsman
Tim and I first met in 2015 at Field Artillery School and were both stationed in the same Battalion in Camp Lejeune. We were both in the same battery for a short time and were both moved to different battery's so we could deploy on the 22d MEU. Tim was a forward observer with an Infantry Company, but we were lucky enough to be put on the same ship and lived next to each other. The Marine Corps decided we work well together, so they stuck us on another deployment, on the same ship again. Tim will be leaving the Marine Corps in 2018 after our deployment in pursuit of an MBA.
