Wedding Party
Liz Ent
Matron of Honor
Taylor and Liz have been friends since their college days at MTSU. Both being theatre majors, they bonded over all things dramatic. Their love for Harry Potter and Halloween brought them even closer. She is the queen at crafting, all things cricut and decorating. She has the most thoughtful heart and never forgets someone's birthday. She has been there for Taylor when no one else has and has been one of the dearest and best friends Taylor could ever ask for. Liz has the cutest little girl, Billie and is married to Jeff, a sound extraordinaire.
Jordyn Wilkerson
Bridesmaid
Jordyn and Taylor are cousins and are only 2 years apart. They grew up together spending their summers swimming and playing Shrek Party on XBox, going to Jerry's Snowcones and spending the night watching Harry Potter together. Taylor took Jordyn to school for two years as they jammed to Fall Out Boy every morning. They both worked at Chick-fil-a in high school and were both flight attendants in their adult life. They have shared more memories together than anyone else is Taylor's life and are probably about as close as cousins could get. Jordyn is the mom of Maya, our family's little Dutch princess.
Tiffany Edwards
Bridesmaid
Tiffany and Taylor have been friends since 2001. They were best friends all throughout 7th and 8th grade, always talking about American Idol. They have remained close throughout 23 years of friendship. Tiff has always been the voice of reason when Taylor isn't sure which way to turn and is always checking in on life in general. If you scrolled through their text messages, you would see the name 'Taylor Swift' come up more times than you could count and the clown emoji. Tiffany has even made her little boy, Whit, a Swiftie.
Chase Poole
Best Man
Chase and Tyler have been friends since 2015. They quickly bonded over their love for music and going to live shows, especially bands that very few people have ever heard of. Chase and Tyler have spent years playing music together, watching sports, starting a podcast, going to a lot of DCFC games, and having oddly specific deep conversations together (see podcast). And even though Chase loves movies, but Tyler does not, and Tyler loves The Office, but Chase does not; they've managed to overcome their differences and maintain a friendship over the years.
Luke Barber
Groomsman
Tyler and Luke have been friends since 1997. Even though Luke is Tyler's younger brother by 5 years, they did almost everything together growing up - from basketball in the driveway, to video games, to having a very similar and strange sense of humor. Luke and Tyler are often to told they look the same, sound the same, or even act the same. Whether there's truth to that or not, it's a testament to how close they've been over the years. Luke, his wife Kasey, and his daughter Kallie are some of Tyler's favorite people on the planet.
Justin Barber
Groomsman
Justin and Tyler have been friends since 1992. Justin is Tyler's older brother, so of course there were classic moments of Justin picking on Tyler growing up. But Justin has also always embraced the role of being a good leader and looking out for those around him. We've been calling Justin, "coach", long before he actually became one. Justin and Tyler have always bonded over Michigan sports teams, N64, and early 2000s music. Justin, his wife Jenna, and their kids Avery, Aria, and Max are the most fun and loving family members a guy could hope to have.
Walker Hargrave
Junior Groomsman
Walker is Taylor's nephew. He has the most creative mind and the kindest heart. He is currently in the middle school band where he is learning the saxophone and in the drama club (just like his aunt) He is the silliest kid there ever was and can put a smile on any face. Walker does not meet a stranger.
Avery Barber
Flower Girl
Avery is Tyler's niece and you can typically find her curled up with a book and a squishmallow. She is currently learning how to play the piano, just like her Grandma Marti. She is super talented at just about anything she tries, she's even knitted her own blanket! Avery is the walking quote "and though she be but little, she is fierce".
Aria Barber
Flower Girl
Aria is also Tyler's niece and one of our spunkiest family members. She is pretty much a genius and the silliest 7 year old you'll ever meet. She is kind to everyone and loves to craft with her sister, Avery. And not to brag, but she probably holds the world record for the longest pogo stick run ever.
Max Barber
Ring Bearer
Max is Tyler's nephew and he has enough energy to last a lifetime. He is your typical boy that loves playing outside, loves trucks and baseball and terrorizing his sisters. He is one of the funniest and sweetest kids you'll ever meet. According to his dad, if everyone is at the kitchen table crying from laughing so hard, it's usually because of Max.
