Wedding Party
Nicole Payne
Bride
Jacqueline Nicole Payne, the one and only! Nicole and I met while she was attending the University of Central Florida, where she obtained a degree in Communications. What started out as just drinks, has led to a 9 year relationship, lots and lots of memories and trips, as well as one beautiful addition to our family in Dawson Ray. Nicole is caring, loving, a great mother to our boys, and above all patient. She accepted me while at one of my lowest moments in life, and welcomed my son Noah Van in with open arms. She was truly there just for me, and not what I could provide her at the time. She has been my biggest cheerleader and supporter, as we started with nothing to build this life we have built. I am forever grateful for you. I love you Jacqueline Payne, cheers to forever!!
Kayla Nicolois
Maid of Honor
Kayla and I have a friendship that goes back to when we were just 14 years old! She has been there through good times and bad and is always there when you need her. We have so many memories from riding around in Kayla's convertible to pool parties to sweet sixteen's to bachelorette parties and our children's first birthday's (Dawson's is next). I was asked to be a bridesmaid in her wedding just a few years back, and she will now be standing by my side at my own wedding! Kayla and I were "bump buddies" during our pregnancies with our children being born only being 3 months apart! Her daughter, Harper Nicolois will be one of our two flower girls in the wedding.
Lindsey Mauger
Bridesmaid
Lindsey Mauger and I go way back. She is my one and only little sister! We have a sibling bond that can never be broken. We have many fun memories of our childhood together from family trips to playing with our dog, Amber and teenage car rides just to get out of the house on the weekend. We were either having fun or trying to kill each other, no in between LOL! Lindsey was a beautiful bride just a few years ago when she was married in Maui, Hawaii! Lindsey and Luke have just purchased their first home and have adopted a longhaired wiener dog named Maui. Congrats! Lindsey kindly asked me to be a bridesmaid for her wedding and now she will be here to support me on my own wedding day.
Alexandra Stucky
Bridesmaid
Alex and I began our friendship back when I lived in Durango, Colorado for college. We first met in the dorms on campus. Later, we moved into an apartment and then to a house downtown. I have many wonderful memories of our college years together. We've enjoyed many outdoor hikes and adventures, late night McDonalds runs and endless games of "Settlers of Catan" over the years! I will never forget my Colorado era, it was a beautiful one. No matter how much distance is between us, our love remains the same. Fun fact: I was her roommate when she met her now husband, Alan! A few years ago, she and Alan were married and she asked me to be her bridesmaid. She will now be my bridesmaid for my own wedding.
Jeanette Lunsford
Bridesmaid
Jeanette and I have been friends since 4th grade when we were only 10 years old! I always know she will be there for me no matter how much time and distance is between us. We have lots of fun memories of playing barbies, swimming in the pool, paddle boarding, staying up late and talking on the phone for hours and so much more. Years ago, she asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding and now she will be a bridesmaid in my very own wedding. When I asked her to join my wedding party, she revealed to me that she is pregnant with her second child! Her and Andrew's newest little one will be born before the wedding and we can't wait to meet them.
Allison Gillett
Bridesmaid
Alli and I first met when I transferred to UCF in Orlando, FL and became her last minute, surprise roommate! We quickly became close and enjoyed going to the pool, working out, tanning, line dancing and more! I have many fond memories of our college years together. Since we are both engaged we have since asked each other to be bridesmaids for our upcoming weddings. A fun fact about Alli is, she was there the night when I met my now fiancé, Brandon. Also, she and her fiancé Dylan got engaged only 1 week before we did! In addition to that, we met at UCF but we didn't know back in our hometown of Jupiter, we were raised only minutes down the road from each other. How weird is that?!
Brandon White
Groom
Brandon is my wonderful fiancé! He is also a father of two boys, Noah and Dawson. After 8 years together, he planned a surprise proposal at our son Dawson's gender reveal party. It was truly one of the best days ever besides the day our sweet son was born. Brandon recently passed his one year mark in his career as a Firefighter/EMT with the Alachua County Fire Rescue. He enjoys hunting, fishing, shooting, jet skiing and helping his friends. Anyone who knows Brandon knows he is a great person and a reliable friend. He has always been my rock and helps to keep me grounded. I don't know where I'd be without his love and support. I am very lucky to call him my husband here soon! Love you babe.
Ted Terrell
Best Man
Ted Terrell, AKA Tap Out Ted. Ted and I met around 2018 through mutual friends at a BBQ. Since that day the memories have piled on as we started spending more time together. Memories from birthday trips, water days on the boat and jet skis, to remodeling projects around the house. He is the one that will go along with any idea you have with full support, no matter how crazy the idea. He'll also throw in some of his crazy ideas along the way too! He has become one of my closest friends since moving here to Florida and is always just a phone call away. Thanks for being by my side on this special day brother! We love ya!
Phillip Pool
Groomsman
Phillip Pool, another one of my longest adult friends. Phillip and I met in Mountain Home, AR not long after he moved there fresh out of college from U of A. We have done a lot together over the years from golfing trips, to Razorback games, to many nights out on the town. Phillip is the kind of friend that pushes the people around him to be better. He opened my eyes about a lot in life that I had never even though about. Important things like retirement, your credit, investing etc. Not because I needed lectured but because he cared about my future. It goes to show the type of friend he is when he cares past the nights out, and the good times. Thanks for always being there brother. We love ya.
Jordan Burr
Groomsman
Jordan Burr, one of my longest friends as an adult. We met when we both worked together at a pawn shop in roughly 2010 in Arkansas and have been hanging out ever since. He has been there through a lot with me in my life and has been there even when I didn't have much to offer. He's a true friend and one of a kind. We spent a lot of time doing everything from shooting guns, nights out, to doing absolutely nothing wanting to bang our heads against the wall with boredom haha. He loves history and traveling the world. He's one to sell his truck and move to another country tomorrow, but would do the same to fly back if you needed him the next day. Thanks for being there on this special day too brother. We love ya.
Casey Scheffer
Groomsman
Casey has been a good friend of ours for years now. We met Casey sometime in 2016 and haven't looked back. Casey can be as elusive as bigfoot, but once you mention boating and BBQ's he appears! We have enjoyed many memorable summer days and evenings with Casey, as well as birthday trips. He has been there/involved in most of our milestones as a couple. He was also the host of our gender reveal / surprise engagement party and is an amazing "uncle" to our kids and loves making them smile. He is a true friend who is always rooting for you and he will always help you no matter the situation. We are so happy to have met him. Thanks for standing with us on this special day. We love ya.
Bradley White
Groomsman
Bradley is Brandon's youngest brother and the best uncle to our two boys!! You can usually find him working on his truck for the next truck show, remodeling someone's house, or with a fishing pole in his hand, TRYING to out fish me......We are a lot alike and enjoy a lot of the same things which has kept us close over the years. He is 10 years younger and we are proud of the young man he has turned into. He's always there for us and shows up when you need him. We know he will be great no matter where life takes him! Brad, we can't wait to have you here on our special day with us. We love ya!
Dylan White
Groomsman
Dylan is Brandon's other younger brother, and currently lives in the beautiful and historic city of St. Augustine with his girlfriend, Regina and son Justin. Dylan was always the annoying younger brother that I never wanted to hang out with, now as an adult, I couldn't imagine doing life without him. He's always been there even when I didn't want him to be haha. He's been one of the most constant people in my life, even as an adult and we are proud of the path he's on and his willingness to give back. We see you bub and I'm proud to have you standing next to us on our special day. Love ya
Noah Van White
Ring Bearer
Noah Van White, Brandon first boy and Nicoles step son. Noah has been a part of Nicoles life since he was 3 years old. By the time the wedding day comes, he will be a whopping 13 YEARS OLD!!! Noah can't wait to party with our friends and family on the big day. Since Dawson will more than likely need a little help making it all the way down the isle, Noah will be taking on the role of senior ring bearer to assist his brother. We are so glad to have both of our boys be a part of the wedding and can't wait to share this special day with them as we tie the knot on becoming a family of 4.
Dawson Ray White
Ring Bearer
Dawson Ray was just a little guy still in my belly the day Brandon and I got engaged. Brandon decided to surprise me and propose at his gender reveal party! We are in love with our newest little addition to our family. This sweet boy will be 1 ½ years old at the time of the wedding. He will be doing us the honor of being mommy and daddy's ring bearer. He will be accompanied by his older brother, Noah, to assist him in walking down the isle. We can't wait to see him have fun and interact with all of the family and friends at the wedding. We will be playing "pass the baby" so get ready!
Harper Nicolois
Flower Girl
Harper Nicolois is the daughter of Frank and Kayla Nicolois, whom also share a son, Hudson, together. Harper will be just under two years old at the time of the wedding. We can't wait to see her rock her role as flower girl. We know she will be amazing! Fun Fact: Miss Harper was born only 2 days apart our other flower girl, Dera!
Tommy Goddard
Officiant
Tommy Goddard is my dear uncle that is married to my father's sister, Anita. Tommy is an avid bicyclist, a successful lawyer, and the world's biggest Georgia Bulldogs fan! I love Tommy to death and am so happy to have him do us the honor of being our officiant. We know Tommy will kill it in this role. I am excited to get to share that special moment with him!
