Matron of Honor
Nicole and I grew up in the same home town, but high school is where it all officially began. Our adventurous spirits brought us together, and the loyalty and laughter is what made us inseparable. If there was a memory to make or a little trouble to get into, we were doing it together. We grew up side by side, having the time of our lives. Even though she likes to deny it, I introduced Nicole to the love of her life and husband of 10 years and am a very, very proud Mama Madi to her three babies. -Madison
Matron of Honor
Calyn and I first crossed paths in 2012 thanks to a very random series of internships—first at World Trade Center Savannah, then at Gulfstream Aerospace. Basically, the universe wouldn't stop intertwining our paths. When Savannah launched its very first nonstop flight to New York, we were among the first passengers on both of our first-ever trips to the city. We went, instantly fell in love with New York, and—plot twist—Calyn kind of never came back. I was a little upset at first… until I realized I, too, magically had keys to a New York apartment for seven years with zero rent. Perspective is everything. Since then, we've been completely inseparable, and honestly, I can’t imagine doing life without Calyn. -Madison
Matron of Honor
Amy and I met while living abroad and studying Spanish in a small town outside Madrid—Segovia, Spain. Back then, Amy was a vegan and spoke fluent Spanish. Fast-forward to today and she’s one of the sharpest shooters I know, deeply disappointed if her husband doesn’t bring home the absolute maximum number of deer he’s allowed for their freezer… and she can’t remember a single word of Spanish. What she does remember is how to absolutely dominate real estate—she’s one of the best realtors in town—and she’s also my biggest confidant, always there exactly when I need her. Spain may have introduced us, but Savannah is where we became best friends. -Madison
Junior Bridesmaid
I met Stella in 2023, and we were lucky enough to hit it off right away—bonding over our shared love of tumbling, dancing, gymnastics, cheer, playing pranks, asking lots of questions, George Ezra, and of course, her dad. I’m so grateful to have such a sweet girl in my life who keeps me up to date on all the new, cool "lingo" and makes sure the women officially outnumber the men in our household (me, Bella, and Stella). I’m incredibly honored to have her standing by my side on our wedding day. -Madison
Man of Honor
Patrick and I met through mutual friends in Savannah. Much later, I bought a piece of art from him and asked if he could reframe it. Easy enough, right? We made a plan to meet up months later for pickup. When Brett and I showed up as planned, Patrick proudly brought out the piece… in the exact same original frame. So we followed him back to the studio, where he reframed it on the spot—and we ended up hanging out for hours. From that day on, we’ve been inseparable. Patrick is one of both Brett and Madison’s best friends, and luckily, they live only five minutes apart. Brett enjoys listening to Patrick and Madison sing karaoke late into the night many nights each week. Patrick is our unofficial therapist, lovingly known as Uncle P to Stella and Bode, and he brings so much joy into our lives. -Madison
Flower Girl
Lila Grace Roesel is our 3-year-old niece and the daughter of Seth and Maggie Roesel. She is sweet, spunky, and full of personality. Lila loves making people laugh, showing off her big smile, and keeping everyone on their toes. We can’t wait to see her sprinkle a little extra joy down the aisle as our flower girl.
My Something Blue
Shazi has been part of my life for a very long time. In wedding tradition, a bride’s “something blue” symbolizes love, purity, and good fortune, and was historically believed to protect against the evil eye. It represents devotion, loyalty, and the hope for a long and happy marriage. Shazi embodies all of those things for me. She knew me when I was very young, and when we reconnected later in life, she brought so much love, good fortune, and good old-fashioned fun back into my world. She has a way of making life brighter, lighter, and full of joy. I also deeply admire the marriage she shares with Drew. The love, partnership, and friendship they have built together is something Brett and I truly look up to, and hope to model in our own life together. For all of these reasons and more, I couldn’t imagine a more perfect “something blue.” -Madison
Officiant
Timmy and I met in preschool, so long ago that I don’t actually remember life without him. He’s the longest friendship of my lifetime and truly one of the best people I know. We grew up together in a small town with dreams much bigger than most, and it’s been one of the greatest joys of my life getting to watch us chase—and actually achieve—those dreams. We’ve been there for each other through all of life’s biggest moments. He’s also the only person my dog Bella loves more than me, which says a lot. It didn’t take long for Brett to understand, and fully share, my love for Timmy, and we’re so honored to have someone we love this much playing such an important role in our special day. -Madison
Ring Bearer
My little dude is an absolute force, and at just seven years old, it’s already clear he’s going to take this world by storm. He’s got the charm, the intelligence, and an unforgettable grin - he's basically a smaller version of his father. But the most incredible thing about him, and the thing that excites me most, is his heart. People will talk about his athletic ability as he grows older, but the thing I’m proudest of and always will be is the way he loves others. He has been such a blessing in my life, and I am beyond honored to not only call him my son, but to have him standing beside me as my Best Little Man on our wedding day. -Brett
Groomsman
I met Joe when I was 15 years old during a visit to the Chicago Steel USHL junior hockey team. I was a huge prospect-they were never going to land me, but the only thing I actually remember from that tour was meeting a 6’5”, long-haired, surfer-looking goalie named Joe. He was 20 at the time and greeted me with a casual, “What’s up, bro.” Neither of us had any idea that just three years later we’d be playing together at Boston College. I’m pretty sure Joe didn’t remember the undersized, stocky, puck-moving defenseman with great hair when I showed up at BC, but he, Reasoner, and I quickly became more than teammates—we became brothers. At this point, I’ve known Joe for over half my life, and I’m incredibly proud to see him as a devoted father of two, a great husband, and the same smart, fun-loving guy I’ve always known. Joe is one of the most positive, energetic, and genuinely good people I’ve ever been around, and I’m honored to call him one of my best friends. -Brett
Best Man
I met Justin shortly after taking my first breath in this world on September 11, 1986. From that moment on, he became my mother’s second-favorite son, and my oldest sister, Cara, was promptly bumped to second-favorite child. Justin and I are brothers and share a few traits, but we’re also very different people. He’s kind, soft-spoken, endlessly accommodating, and generally just a really good human. I don’t relate to all of that (clearly), but he’s always been the person I can talk to about absolutely anything. We may approach life differently—he’s sweet, I’m… nice (kidding)—but no matter what, good or bad, Justin will always pick up the phone and have my back. And that’s everything. -Brett
Groomsman
Unta, also known as Adam, is one of the best guys anyone could ever call a best friend. He has the biggest heart, always puts others first, and has always been there for me. We met freshman year at Boston College, he was 21, I was 18, and neither of us were winning any reading awards, but it didn’t take long for us to become best friends, along with Joe Pearce. One of my favorite memories is Adam yelling in my face during shooting drills, “MAMA, you have the heaviest shot in this league... take it,” which may or may not have led to one of the best freshman seasons in school history. Adam always looked out for me, and I’m lucky to see him pour that same love into his growing family today. I’m honored to call him one of my best friends. -Brett
