Hope & Avery
Wedding Party
Taylor Anne Beckham
Maid of Honor
Taylor Anne came into my life when Avery and I started dating. We always say we don’t know how two people so alike lived so close to each other our entire childhood and never knew each other. But how glad I am that our paths crossed! From TN to Jacksonville to Birmingham and a total 6 years of living together, Taylor Anne has been by my side for every big (and small) moment! When you see one of us, the other is probably shortly behind. She is my absolute best friend, and I couldn’t ask for a better Maid of Honor.
Claire Bowen
Matron of Honor
Claire is not only my soon to be sister-in-law but one of my dearest friends! Over the last 8 years, she has alway welcomed me with open arms (& always takes my side over Avery’s lol!). You can count on Claire to crack you up with her silly jokes and spunky personality!
Cassidy Ridgeway
Matron of Honor
Cassidy and I met the first day of sorority recruitment, and lucky for us, Ruddle and Russell just happened to be beside each other in every line. We’ve been inseparable ever since! Between hundreds of sleepovers, secrets, and shared outfits, Cass is absolutely the sister I never had! I couldn’t imagine my wedding day without her right beside me.
Brianna Winkles
Bridesmaid
Brianna and I became friends living down the hall from each other in our dorms, and she’s my go to gal for spontaneous trips or a movie and board game night. It’s the cherry on top that her boyfriend, Paul, and Avery are best friends, too!
Hannah Reaves
Bridesmaid
Hannah is one of my oldest friends and has stuck by my side all these years (even through the awkward middle school phase!). From pageants to football games, graduation, and college, Hannah and I have seen each other grow up, and I’m so thankful to experience another milestone together.
Jordan Ross
Bridesmaid
The first time Jordan and I met, she was running out to me on bid day! I knew immediately I wanted her to be my little, and I don’t think two people have ever become friends so quickly! Any time we’re together, you can expect us to get caught up talking for hours, and we share a love for a good Peloton workout.
Jordan Doss
Bridesmaid
Jordan and I met through AOII, but our true friendship started through Gamecock Orientation. Jordan is the life of the party and my go-to partner on the dance floor. I can always count on her when I need someone to be silly with!
Kelsi Cole
Bridesmaid
Both only children and only three months apart in age, Kelsi is my first cousin, but she’s always been more like a sister to me. To a little girl, an ‘older sister’ is the coolest person ever, and that’s just what Kelsi still is. Even though we’re in different parts of the country, I know she’s always just a phone call away!
Peeper Walker
Bridesmaid
Peeper came into my life almost unexpectedly my sophomore year, and I’ve never been more thankful for a friendship. Peeper is one of my AOII littles and is the most down to earth girl you’ll ever meet! She is always down to talk about life and guess people’s enneagrams with me!
Paul Hicks
Best Man
Paul is my best friend and one of the first people I met at JSU. Paul and I became close quickly, and he was my big brother in Pi Kapp. We made lots of memories living together for two years of college, and he’s still our first call for a last-minute trip. I couldn't ask for a better person to be my Best Man.
Bryant Dunaway
Groomsman
Growing up an Alabama fan it’s no surprise that two of my closest friends through college are named Paul and Bryant. Bryant has become such a good friend to me and Hope, and I’m so thankful he’ll be standing by my side on this big day.
Charlie Waters
Groomsman
Charlie and I met in stats class at JSU, and we became good friends on Pi Kapp executive council. Charlie is definitely the dad of the friend group and always the best person to travel with.
Colton Mecham
Groomsman
Most of my college memories involve Colton. We became friends through Pi Kapp and share the same hopeless love of golf. He is one of the best guys I know.
Connor Hatcher
Groomsman
There’s not much that happened to me in high school that Connor wasn’t around for. He’s always good for a laugh and even better to talk about Titans football.
Ian Pigg
Groomsman
Ian is one of my oldest friends and someone I can tell anything to. Even though we went separate ways to college, we always take any chance we get to catch up!
Justin Bowen
Groomsman
Justin joined the family in 2020 and fit right in. Honestly, we were all just thankful he was an Alabama fan. Justin is the older brother I always wanted, and I couldn’t have picked anyone better for my sister, Claire.
Paxton Prince
Groomsman
Paxton is without a doubt the funniest person I know. Paxton and I have been friends since Dixie Youth Baseball, and he was the best person to have blocking for you under the Friday night lights. Paxton always kept my jersey clean, and I’m thankful for his friendship.
