Brandon & Jayda
Wedding Party
JoAnna Pippin
Maid of Honor
JoAnna has been my best friend since I was about 6 years old. I have always known that when I get married she would be the one I wanted to stand beside me. She is loyal, caring, full of integrity, fun, and someone that I can always count on. She was the first person that I told when I got engaged and I cannot imagine doing any of this without her! We have gone across the country together, been dance partners for 7 years, laughed so hard we snorted (or as she likes to say snortle) and so much more. We have talked about our weddings since we were little girls, so it has been and I know will continue to be super fun having her right with me. She is one of the best people I know and I'm so blessed to have her as my maid of honor. Not to mention that one day she will be my sister in law;)
Peyton Haley
Best Man
Peyton and I have been good friends ever since birth. Growing up together could not of been better because we always had someone to play with, mess with, or just be around. He was always one of the cooler guys in school, and I was a couple of years younger so I really looked up to him and his friends. During that time a lot of brothers would of wanted to have nothing to do with a younger sibling, but he never seemed embarrassed to have me around, and he always watched after me. Then when we went to college together, he would always invite me over to hang out, and watch whatever games where on at his house. We may have had the occasional fight as kids, but he has always been there for me, and I could not be happier to have him as a brother and be able to call him my friend.
Ashley Morrell
Bridesmaid
Ashley is one of my favorite people to be with! We always have so much fun together, but I also know that I can tell her anything. We have been close since we were little and I know our friendship will last a lifetime. She is one of the most encouraging, happy, and loving people that I know. No matter what happens, Ashley is someone that will always listen and never judge. She radiates joy and her smile is contagious. She is strong in a way that people may not recognize and I really admire that about her. She is someone that I may not see for two months and we pick up right where we left off! Ashley is like my sister and I am so happy she is a bridesmaid!
Wil Morse
Groomsman
I have known Wil since he first moved to Davidson Academy as a sophomore. In high school, I never got to truly know Wil or spend any time with him, but from a distance it seemed to me that he was quite the nerd. It was when I began to date Jayda that Wil became a close friend of mine and I realized my initial assessment was spot on. If anything, our mutual nerdiness has only brought us closer. Other than being a nerd, Wil is one of the most genuinely kind, fun, and dependable people that I know. I have really enjoyed having Wil as one of my best friends these last couple of years, and I know for sure that we will be friends for the rest of our lives.
Kylie Henne
Bridesmaid
I met Kylie about 4 years ago when she came to Vanderbilt, which I am so glad that she did! Kylie is very down to earth and will always be completely honest with me, so if I ever want to know the real truth, I go to her. She was one of the few who strongly supported me first going out with Brandon and has always stuck by my side. She continuously makes me laugh, but is always there in the tough times as well. I can talk to Kylie about anything under the sun and know it would be safe with her. Kylie and I have had numerous midnight talks, eaten way to much ice cream together, jumped on each other multiple times singing in the morning, and in the next year will both be in each other's wedding! No doubt that we'll be friends for forever. I love her and love that she's a bridesmaid!
Elijah Hardin
Groomsman
I first met Elijah when Jayda and I started dating a couple of years ago. He has been one of my best friends and someone that I have looked up to for the time we have been dating. I can honestly say that from the first time I met him up until now elijah has proven himself to be one of the best men I have ever met. He has a kind soul and a true heart for God. Any man would be doing good to be even half as nice as Elijah Hardin. I consider myself lucky to know him, and wouldn't want to get married without him standing up there as a groomsman.
Chelsea Battenberg
Bridesmaid
I have known Chelsea my whole life, but we have gotten really close in the last 3 years. We have written a multitude of "amazing" songs together and she is truly one of the funniest people on this planet. If Chelsea is around, I can assure you that people are smiling. She is someone who really cares about every detail about my life and wants to be involved. Chelsea is generous, beautiful, responsible and genuine in a way that most people are not. Having chelsea as a bridesmaid was an absolute no brainer because I always want to be around her. We are very similar, so much so that sometimes I think she might actually be my long lost sister! I love her so much and I cannot wait for her to have kids, because if they're anything like her they will be a great addition to the world.
Tanner Battenberg
Groomsman
I first met tanner a couple of years ago and began to get to know him through the church that we now go to together. We became fast friends due to our common interest in sports and games, but as I got to know him, I have come to admire him for much more than sports. Although I may pick fun at him often, he sincerely has one of the biggest hearts that I have ever seen. This trait is one of the most admirable traits in a person and everybody would be doing good if they were a little more like tanner. If you know him for very long it is impossible not to become great friends.
Julie Harrison
Bridesmaid
I have known Julie my whole life, in fact she was my favorite babysitter when I was little! Julie has always traveled with us all around Europe and truly made the trip so much better. She has always been like a sister to me, when I come home I always stay with her and I love it! Julie has the purest heart in the world and is one of the nicest people I know. She has the voice of an angel and is selfless beyond belief. I love to be around Julie and I look up to her more than she will ever realize. We have shared so many great memories together and I would not trade them for the world. I could not get married without Julie, I love her too much! She is truly one of a kind and Brandon has some high standards to meet because she has been an outstanding roommate;)
Darby Ker
Groomsman
Darby and I became good friends early in high school, and bonded over our shared nerdiness in physics and math. That bond grew into a great friendship through all of high school and then led to us being in the UTK library together doing homework when they had to close it at midnight. He is truly a unique individual with a kind heart and a great friend. I have known since high school he would be standing by me the day I got married, and I could not be happier that he will be.
Whittney Hoerner
Bridesmaid
Whittney is my sister-in-law! When I was little she was my very favorite person in the entire world and I have loved her for as long as I can remember. In the past couple of years I have grown a new respect for her as a person and her love for the Lord. She is strong, loving and absolutely hilarious! Whittney is a nurse and has always been a big encourager for me as I strive to have that same career. She also has the most beautiful children on the planet that love her unconditionally. Whittney is truly a beautiful person inside and out! She has always cared and loved me so much and I feel so lucky to have her! I am so happy that Chad brought her into our lives and cannot wait for her to stand by me on December 15th.
Chad Hoerner
Groomsman
I came to know Chad through Jayda, and Chad’s kids. When I first started dating Jayda I got the opportunity to spend a large amount of time with Chad’s three kids, and although I didn't know him very well at the time I knew he had raised three great children which is a respectable quality for anyone. After I finally got to know chad really well, I immediately saw how loving and fun he is to be around. Over the past year, I have grown very close to chad and I couldn’t be happier to be able to call him a close friend. He has had an amazing impact on me through getting to spend more time with him and see how he has such a great heart for God. I am proud to have a friend like Chad and I am very excited he will be standing next to me when I get married.
Hannah Mcvey
Bridesmaid
Hannah, also known as Beans (for great reason) is my college roommate! I met her on move in day freshman year and had no idea who she was. We were both scared and uncomfortable, but ended up becoming really close friends super fast! She is so much fun to be around and always very inviting to talk to. She is known for making people laugh, but I know that she also has one of the kindest hearts in the world. She wants to be a teacher and I have full confidence that she will be amazing and the kids will love her! I do not know how I would have gotten through college so far without her by my side. I love her and thank the Lord that she was the random girl who chose to live with me Freshman year! I could not get married without my crazy beany!!
Jackson Broadwell
Groomsman
Jackson has been one of my best friends ever since I was five years old. Since we were kids we have always shared a bond with sports and other common interest. Since high school has ended I have lost touch with several of my friends, but Jackson and I have always remained close. No matter how long we go without seeing each other it is always like we never had any separation. I know this is because of Jackson’s impeccable sense of humor and unparalleled way of making everyone around him a little happier. His friendship has meant the world to me over the years, and I know we will continue to be friends for a long time to come.
Hannah Iwan
Bridesmaid
Hannah is one of the sweetest, funniest and happiest people that I know. She is always smiling and making people laugh! I met her freshman year of college and we immediately became close friends. She became our third roommate and I loved it! She really cares about the people around her and I know will always be there for me when I need her. This year she moved to Colorado which made me super sad because I miss her like crazy! But, I know that no matter what she is one of my closest friends and I am thrilled she will be by my side on that special day. I love love love her and wouldn’t have it any other way!
Reva Farmer
Groomsman
I came to know reva through Jayda once we first started dating, and he was an immediate friend. I have always felt a close bond with Reva because I always feel like he understands where I am coming from and what is going on in my head. Every man needs a friend like Reva Farmer to laugh with, but to also be serious with when the time calls for it. Reva is much deeper than the comedic outer layer that he portrays, and I am very happy that I have gotten to know both sides of him.
Zella Hoerner
Junior Bridesmaid
(Jayda) Oh my Zella! She has been my girl since she was born 10 years ago. I used to go to her house just to hold her for hours. She is the one who made my name Shay Shay that has lived on to the other siblings! She is full of love, joy and talent. She has one of the most beautiful voices and has always been an amazing artist. We have taken multiple snap chat pictures together, had many spontaneous dance parties and a few quality girl talks. I have enjoyed watching her grow up and getting to know her better and better! She gives me a huge hug every time she sees me and it never fails to fill up my heart with happiness. I would do anything for this girl and I cannot wait to see her grow into the woman she one day will be! I could not get married without her, I love love love my bean!
Hutson Miles
Junior Groomsman
(Brandon) Hutson simply has to be one of the coolest kids I have ever spent much time around. I have been playing with hutson consistently for what feels like the whole time that I have been alive. We have been playing baseball out in the front yard, shooting basketball, or exploring ever since I can remember. Watching him grow up has been an amazing experience because he has become an incredibly mature young adult. I know sports comes before anything else for him, and I know he will succeed at sports and anything else he puts his mind to. He is a go getter if there ever was one, and I am proud to be his cousin and to be as close to him as I am. Although I can still beat him in basketball, I know it won't be long before I can not keep up with him in any sporting events.
Harper Kate Miles
Junior Bridesmade
(Brandon) Harper Kate shares many of the same attributes as her brother in the fact that sports absolutely come first and she is also a go getter. She is always dancing, doing cheerleader moves, but most importantly she has a very sweet heart that is so very caring for everyone around her. She has matured into a smart young girl, and it has been amazing watching her grow up. She is a very special individual, and I could not be happier she is in my wedding.
Max Frazier
Junior Groomsman
(Brandon) Max, I think, could best be summed up as a whole hearted country boy. I know being at my wedding would fall behind fishing and hunting on his to do list this coming December which is why he is so unique. I asked max a while ago when he thought he would get married just to see what he would say. He responded with the perfect answer, and one that I should have expected, “I’m not going to get married, I’m just going to fish.” He is an awesome kid and I am super excited that he will be at the wedding instead of fishing.
Naomi Pippin
Flower Girl
(Jayda) Naomi is JoAnna's little sister and I have known her since she was born. She reminds me of myself at that age, very sassy and very sweet! I have loved watching her grow up and getting to see her every time I went to JoAnna's house or saw her outside. She always gives me a huge hug and sits on my lap, which I have always loved! I know that Omi will keep the ring bearers under control and be an awesome flower girl! She's one of a kind and brings so much joy to everyone around her. I am happy that I get to be one of those people!
Maddox Hoerner
Ring Bearer
(Jayda) Maddox is my nephew! He is also the cutest person on this planet. He is super sweet and also more shy compared to his siblings. I was there when he was born and he has only gotten cuter. I have babysat him multiple times and always play baseball, video games and a game we call "good cop, bad cop". Three things that I am terrible at, but always play because he loves it. Maddox has the gift of making everyone smile, because his is absolutely contagious! Watching his personality grow the last five years has been amazing and I cannot wait to continue seeing this in years to come. I love this boy so much and even though he might not want to dress up and be in a wedding, I would not do it without him.
Molly Frazier
Flower Girl
(Brandon) I have several great memories with molly from her young childhood, which most include playing with her in the upstairs of the the Frazier house with her and her brother max. She would always ask me repeatedly to play “babies” with her, which is where I pretend to be a baby, and she would be the care taking mother. This game usually ended in me trying to get more naps in my day while she wanted me to go to school. This game and many more make up all the times we have spent and enjoyed together, and I know there will be many more. She is still very young, but she has always been full of life and a joy to be around.
Lucas Hoerner
Ring Bearer
(Jayda) Lucas is my other nephew! He is the youngest of the three, but maybe the strongest personality. He is hilarious and always on some kind of mission. Even if he is the smallest, he still thinks he's the biggest! Lucas is 3 (will be 4 by December) and watching his personality grow these last years has been super fun. Every time I am with him we end up racing, or playing some type of game that involves running around. He is known for his hilarious phrases, for example, this last December we went to the waterpark in Gatlinburg as a family. While we were walking to the water park, Lucas ran up to an elderly man in a wheel chair . and asked "Hey! Why you SO OLD?!" then pointed to another guy next to him and yelled "Hey! You old too!!!" He always makes me laugh and I love him dearly.
Chloe Cobb
Guest Book
(Brandon) Summing up chloe is not easily done, but the one word that pops into my head when I think about her is sassy. She is one of the funniest kids I have ever been with, and everyone that encounters her can’t help but love her. Her behavior is simply infectious because of how upbeat and fun she is to be around. Everyone should have a friend like Chloe because they bring a whole new dimension to whatever setting you are in.
Cameron Cobb
Guest Book
(Brandon) Cameron and I have a rather unique relationship in my mind because she is the only cousin that is close to me in age. Due to this, we got to spend time with each other at a young age and begin to pick on each other at a young age too. Cameron has never felt like a cousin to me, but more like the closest thing I have ever had to a sister (besides Peyton). We have played with each other, laughed, and probably wanted to hit each other at some point in our relationship, but that is what makes it so special. I would not change a thing about our friendship because I know it will last as long as we live. Even though I would never tell her, she has turned out to be a pretty awesome person and I am happy to be close to her.
