Wedding Party
Ivy Underwood
Maid of Honor
Ivy is my little sister and my first friend. Growing up we were inseparable, and although we now live states apart we've remained extremely close. When we were little we never planned our dream wedding, however I always knew is that she would be by my side as my Maid of Honor. When I caught the bouquet at her wedding, I immediately pictured her by my side and couldn't wait for that moment. Ivy has been such a blessing and encouragement throughout my life, and I am so grateful that she is willing to be my Maid of Honor!
Juan Fitzpatrick
Best Man
Juan and I first met when we were assigned to the same boot camp company in the summer of 2010 going into our freshman year at the Coast Guard Academy. We didn't get to start knowing each other until we starting playing soccer that fall. We quickly became friends and were roommates throughout our time. Since graduation in 2014, Juan and I have been multiple time zones away from each other, but that hasn't stopped out friendship and taking the time to visit over the years. Juan is the husband of Maria and the proud father of Maire.

Nat and I met in college when I was began coaching gymnastics at her uncle's gym. I was told she had no experience but would help me manage my class... Little did I know this soccer playing, gymnastics coach would become one of my very best friends. Since college we have lived on opposite sides of the country, but our friendship has only grown stronger. We have weekly, sometimes daily phone calls usually on our drive home or on afternoon walks. Natalie is the best friend a girl could have and i'm so blessed to have her by my side!

Alexa Dean
Bridesmaid
Alexa and I met Freshman year in college, the day she signed to be my roommate. After that day Alexa and I lived together for almost 6 years. She truly was the best roommate and greatest friend I could have asked for. Alexa and I experienced all phases of life together, from college to adapting to real life, to breakups and now to marriage. Alexa has been with with me for years, she even introduced Bobby and I. I couldn't imagine this day without her, and am honored to have her stand with me!
Robbie Pfaff
Groomsman
Robbie and I first met at the Academy and didn't really get to know each other until our spring break trip in 2013 to the British Virgin Islands. Our goofy humor made us instant friends. We have had tons of adventures while at the Academy, Alaska, and Hawaii. Robbie is an MH-65 Dolphin Helicopter pilot for the Coast Guard. He is engaged to Adriel.
Jordan Kinnard
Bridesmaid
Jordan and I met on the Dawghouse, basically an online dating site but for college roommates. We moved in together Freshman year and lived together for the next four years. We spent countless hours together studying, cheering on the Dawgs, and talking (mainly Jordan, and me listening) in our small dorm. Jordan is the truest of friends and the Lord really blessed me when He matched us as roommates. Jordan constantly points me to truth and I am so excited that will be by my side!
Dan Chase
Groomsman
Dan and I first met at the Academy during our spring break trip in 2013. On that particular spring break, we rented a yacht and sailed around the British Virgin Islands. During our time our personalities and weird humor clicked and we became instant friends. We went on to have many more adventures in Alaska and Hawaii. Dan is an MH-65 Dolphin Helicopter pilot for the Coast Guard. He is married to Heather and they are expecting a baby.
Virginia Greene
Bridesmaid
Virginia and I met when she first moved to Douglasville and we cheered together. Throughout high school I looked up to Virginia but thought of her as my friend's older, wiser, much cooler sister. The year I started college Virginia transferred to UGA as well and she quickly became one of my closest friends. We attended the same church, perfected our baking skills and ate lunch at Cali n Titos far too often. I still look up to Virginia, but now have the honor of her friendship and am so excited to have her by my side!
Tradd Lovern
Groomsman
Tradd and I first met playing on the soccer team at the Academy. We didn't start to really know each other until we were stationed on CGC MUNRO in Kodiak Alaska together. Tradd and I have had many Alaskan and Southern California adventures together. Tradd has recently entered the Coast Guard Reserves after serving in a special assignment in Saudi Arabia.
Masey Stanley
Bridesmaid
Masey and I met in middle school at cross country practice. She was much faster than me so we didn't get to know each other until our moms made us hang out. Apparently we both needed a friend, and that's just what we got. Masey and I spent all of high school together. We stayed up way too late, made ridiculous videos, laughed uncontrollably, and ate entirely too much chocolate cake. Masey and I have been apart since we graduated high school, but we stay in touch by sending video updates (only appropriate). Masey's friendship has been a constant throughout my life and I couldn't experience this day without her!
Jack Hamel
Groomsman
Jack and I met in 2009 when we visited the Coast Guard Academy and shadowed a Cadet to see what a day at the academy would be like. We didn't get to start knowing each other until the following year during our freshman year. Jack and I quickly became friends over his hospitality and generosity. Jack and I have spent our spring breaks traveling and exploring exotic locations. Jack is engaged to Victoria and the Commanding Officer of CGC OLIVER HENRY in Guam.
