Bride
Groom
Man of Honor
Grace's best friend, life-long supporter, and brother will be standing next to her as she says "I do."
Best Woman
Big sister. Pastor. Feminist. Role Model. 2nd place in the annual Will and Molly Easter egg hunt (25 years running). Now the "Best Woman." Molly stood by me before I knew how to stand (literally and metaphorically), and has challenged and loved me all along the way. She's standing next to me just as I stood next to her on her big day.
Attendant
Grace's dear sister-in-law, who is absolutely more like a sister, stands beside her as a friend, life confidant, and genuine treasure.
Best Man
Ph.D. candidate. Husband to the amazing Elizabeth Moss Allen. Father of Will's god-dog Henry. Lover of all things involving history, revolutions, and jokes about Will. Now Will's "Best Man." Davis and Will met the way most great college duos do: Through an awkward Facebook message exchange for college first years looking for roommates. Let's just say that Will "charmed" Davis enough to get him to move in with him Spring semester, or Davis felt enough pity to give it a chance. Either way, the same fact remains true: Neither one has ever left the other since (even if distance has pushed their dorm beds further a part).
Attendant
Tyler has become a sister to Grace and unconditionally stuck by her side throughout college, on road trips across the country, and endless nights binge watching tv shows.
Attendant
Kindergarten best friend. Impactful Teacher. Incredible Coach. Will's 3-year Roommate in "The Barn." Late night discussion buddy for all things relationships. Believer in all things related to basketball and beloved community. Now Will's Groomsman. Jonathan ("J-Smooth") and Will met in kindergarten at Jefferson Elementary where they shared the same interests and height. Fast-forward 15 years, a move to Memphis, a transfer to Carson-Newman, and over a foot of height differential, Will and Jonathan rejoined forces in the Fall of 2011 when Jonathan moved back to Jefferson City. Staying connected ever since, Jonathan and Will became roommates in "The Barn" for 3-years post-graduation, living together in a literal barn on a 70-acre cattle farm. They've been friends til the cows come home.
Attendant
Niki has made Grace's life unexplainably brighter by joyfully adventuring by her side, no matter where the road has, is, and will continue to lead.
Attendant
Life-long best friend. Amazing Teacher. Husband to THE Sydney Hester. Star Wars Club co-founder. Hiker of all life's trails. Will's friend through every season, storm, and story. Now Will's Groomsmen. Logan and Will met at birth when words were not enough to express their love and friendship (literally, they were babies and couldn't speak). Fast forward 27 years of ultimate frisbee, light saber battles, youth group nights, Riot cheers, college-age adventures, Barn roommate discussions, and multiple weddings, and one thing remains just as true: Words can't describe the amount love and loyalty I feel towards this man. On my 'groomsmen list' since the 4th grade (when I confirmed girls had no more coodies), Logan is the best life friend I could have hoped for, and he's my wedding day Jedi.
Attendant
Brother-In-Law. 3rd year law student. Amazing husband to Molly. Beloved dad to Greta the dog. Winner of all the board games. Chief Chef in the whole Brummett clan. Best dark-beard besides Will. Now Will's Groomsman. James and Will met because James was the first man Will ever met worthy of his beloved older sister Molly (and therefore, Will cared enough to meet him and not sabotage the whole operation). What began as a defensive brother-in-law cross examination (by Will) has blossomed into a beloved friendship from James that buoys Will's spirit and raises up the whole Brummett family. James is intelligent, witty, grounded, and compassionate; he has stood by Grace and Will from day one, and there is no other place Will wants him then by his side as he & Grace begin their journey.
