Autumn & William
Wedding Party
Hunter Munson
Best Man
Will and Hunter have been friends since they were six years old. Will has always considered Hunter a brother since Will is an only child. Before the 2006 college football season, Will and Hunter bought garnet and gold wigs to wear to the FSU home games. They were convinced that the wigs were lucky charms because that year the the Seminoles won the ACC Champion and went onto the Orange Bowl. Will and Hunter also played flag football together and Will is still mad that he stole his only opportunity at catching an interception.
Aubrey Grier
Maid of Honor
Autumn and Aubrey thought their junior year of college they were just getting a roommate in the Alpha Delta Pi sorority dorm. They got so much more than just a roommate though. The last two years of college you would never see one without the other. Autumn and Aubrey have ridden every wave of life together. From the deepest depths to the highest of high tides, they really don't know what they would do without the other. They have been each other's strength when one couldn't carry the weight of the world. Their favorite memories include: making (and completing) their senior year bucket list, nights out with Previn and Malcolm, staying up too late in the Pi dorm, formals in NOLA, hanging out with Angie, drinking a cold Miller Lite, and making hash browns. Aubrey and Autumn are always in sync from mindset to sense of humor, they even make Will feel like the third wheel without meaning too. Aubrey is the most genuine, compassionate, and hardworking person you will meet. She makes everyone around her feel important and welcomed, Autumn could not have asked for a better person to call her best friend and maid of honor.
Alexandria Ryan
Bridesmaid
Alex and Autumn started their Alpha Delta Pi journey off together from day one. From the KA house to the alter, they always know how to enjoy every journey. Alex made Pensacola feel like home for Autumn, showing her all of the local foodie spots and beautiful sights Pensacola had to offer. They even found themselves running the Zeta Epsilon chapter as young sophomores and somehow lived to tell the tale. Car rides in Alex's jeep always had a fun playlist and her parents always welcomed Autumn with open arms. Nothing could beat the year living together with Aubrey in the Pi dorm. That was a year for the books with nonstop fun, but ultimately made them so close. To some it was just a dorm, but it was the people who filled it that made it home. Alex is also the only friend that will support Autumn wearing hot pink and sparkles any day of the week, she's a keeper.
Kendyll Jones
Bridesmaid
Kendyll has been there since the very beginning of the Will and Autumn story. Kendyll was actually friends with Will first from going to school together. She has seen all phases of their relationship and she means the world to both Will and Autumn. Autumn became close to Kendyll in high school and has always admired her love of taking care of others. They shared being the "moms of the group" because they were always the worriers. Through all seasons of life, Kendyll is always a bright presence to Autumn.
Claude Clegg
Groomsman
Will and Claude became friends during their freshmen year of college. They lived together sophomore year on through graduation. One of Will's fondest memories is when Claude invited him to go duck hunting in Clarksdale. Will only thought he knew what duck hunting was, but until he shot a six man limit in the timber, he had no idea.
Jackson Pegg
Groomsman
Will and Jackson became friends shortly before leaving for Ole Miss. Jackson may have also been bribed with a meal at Longhorns that day with Thomas to be Will's friend, but again the jury is still out on that one. Nonetheless, since that day they were bound to be friends. While fishing in Key West this past year, Jackson taught Will the most important lesson, on his boat he is the captain and Will is merely his glorified deckhand.
Rachel Casey
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Autumn first met while teaching preschool at Advent during the Summer. They both had a love for FSU football and teaching tiny humans. The two really became close after Rachel decided to join Autumn at The Glo for her crazy 5:00AM trampoline work-outs. Rachel and Autumn have spent many work-outs laughing at each other in the mirror when we couldn't quite get a move in class. Some post work-out fuel may have involved a trip to Chick-fil-A. They really got each other through hybrid teaching during the height of Covid and Autumn could not have asked for a better friend. Rachel and Autumn are also huge fan of Wills (her husband's name is also Will).
Hunter Hancock
Groomsman
Will and Hunter met through Jackson Pegg while Will was attending Ole Miss. Hunter is Will's go-to Jacksonville fishing partner and no matter where they fish, Hunter always ends up finding a way to catch more fish than Will. Freshwater may be the only exception. Will and Hunter were roommates when Autumn moved in with them in Jacksonville. Hunter loves nothing more than Autumn throwing jokes at Will and an afternoon at the sandbar.
Linsey Basford
Bridesmaid
Linsey and Autumn met at The University of West Florida when Linsey joined during Autumn's senior year. During Linsey's time as an Alpha she found Panhellenic President Autumn rather intimidating. Later to only find out Autumn enjoyed a Miller Lite just as much as she did. The two became close after graduation and Linsey was the Southern soul Autumn needed in her life. From 90s country to hip-hop, these two love a good car ride with a solid playlist. You'll find Linsey out on the dance floor at the reception with a beer in hand!
John Lastinger
Groomsman
Will and Jake met a month before leaving for The University of Mississippi. They were both desperate for a roommate that wouldn't leave them with the horror freshman year dorm room roommate stories. These two became the polar opposites in fact, they chose to be roommates the remaining years of college, and became the best of friends. They both share a passion for inshore fishing, which has also put them into some sticky situations. Just ask Jake about the oyster bed right outside of the Dekle Beach inlet. This one about gave Autumn and Davis a heart attack after hearing about their misfortunes. When these two get together there's no stopping the conversation of future fishing endeavors.
Heather Jackson
Bridesmaid
Heather and Autumn have been literally around the world and back again together. They met at The University of West Florida while taking classes in the education program. They truly became close when Autumn became the Panhellenic President and Heather was her right-hand Vice-President. Heather brought out Autumn's adventurous side when they made the life-changing decision to teach English abroad in Thailand. From mountain side motorcycle rides to late night planning sessions, Heather is always up for it! She is a true ray of sunshine where ever she goes. You can find her on the dance floor busting the moves all night long!
Benjamin Sieloff
Groomsman
Will and Ben have also been friends since they were six years old. He is an original member of the Highgrove neighborhood football league, the five man league would spend hours on the lawn pretending they were the next first round draft pick. Will and Ben would always try to keep the games as light hearted as possible though, trying to balance the fact Hunter Munson would always go home pouting about an unfair call. They still share their love of FSU football and laughing about their backyard neighborhood football league.
Emmie Royal
Bridesmaid
Emmie and Autumn met sophomore year of college right before Emmie went through sorority recruitment. Autumn knew this funny girl from Umatilla, Florida, had to be an Alpha Delta Pi. Her only fault being she is a gator fan, Autumn took her as a little diamond sister too. You'll probably still hear her wedding weekend running around calling Autumn, "Biggles," even though their sorority days are long behind them. Emmie shared Autumn's love of the south and you just won't find a more kind hearted friend than her.
Mic Brown
Groomsman
Before Mic and Will were friends, Mic was actually Will's boss at Rafters. These two quickly turned their work dynamic into a strong friendship. It wasn't out of the ordinary for them to work long nights that turned into mornings. Then after a long shift, haul across Western Mississippi to their timber hole to slay a few ducks by dawn. The real mystery is if this had any effect on Will barely passing his microeconomics that semester.
Olivia Fletcher
Bridesmaid
Autumn and Olivia met right after Olivia graduated from high school and knew she would want to go through sorority recruitment at The University of West Florida. They met for sushi and Autumn knew instantly not only that she would be an Alpha Delta Pi, but she was going to be Autumn's little diamond sister. Olivia always knew she wanted to be an attorney and attended law school after graduating from UWF. Autumn has always called Olivia her personal Elle Woods.
Thomas Hawthorne
Groomsman
Thomas and Will become friends shortly before they left for college. Thomas may have been bribed with a meal at Longhorns to be Will's friend, but the jury is still out on if that really was the case. They became fast friends surviving pledgeship, long nights at "The Library", and working as bartenders at Rafters. The two found out rather quick that Easter Sundays are best when serving mimosas instead of screwdrivers. While the two aren't slinging it behind the bar in Oxford anymore, they still know how to make a mean cocktail.
Cassidy Koch
Bridesmaid
Cassidy and Autumn met on bid day when they both accepted their bids to Alpha Delta Pi. Cassidy was known as "Circus Girl" for she is a fifth generation circus performer and always has a smile on her face. Autumn and Cassidy were both recruitment counselors together and then served on the Panhellenic Executive board their senior year. Autumn could always count on Cassidy to go to bat for her in any board meeting and be down for a whiskey drink right after.
John Grantham
Groomsman
Will and John meet freshmen year at Ole Miss where they all resided in the now condemed, Kincannon Hall. John lived across the hall and with a sense of humor like his, Will and him became fast friends. Will and John enjoyed nothing more than watching the Daytona 500 every year throughout college. While the beer was always cold, their snack choice was not always on par. Will was bound and determined one year to have chili dogs while enjoying the race. Instead of chili, Will had bought baked beans, and John didn't make too much fun of him after that, that they were able to stay friends. During college football season these two can spend hours on the phone discussing SEC and ACC football.
Katie O'Sullivan
Bridesmaid
Katie and Autumn met shortly after Autumn moved to Jacksonville. Their classrooms were right across the hall from each other and survived the daily adventure of teaching 23 kindergarteners during the midst of the Covid (Omicron) pandemic. They kept each other motivated through the Starbucks coffee gods and laughs of the comments our sweet students made. Autumn convinced Katie she needed a dog and soon after helped her find her dog, Mousse. Mousse and Cole went to their doggy daycare 'prom' together and are now the best of friends as well. Katie helped the transition to Duval County much smoother with her sweet friendship.
Zac Taylor
Groomsman
Zac and Will have been friends since freshmen year of high school. During their time at Leon, they spent countless hours catching ducks and catching largemouth bass in Lake Jackson. Zac will still claim to this day that he lost a 10-pound bass while fishing with Will, but the story seems to change every time he tells it. Make sure you ask him about it while you see him cutting the rug at the reception.
