Brittany & Aaron
Wedding Party
Stephanie Courtney
Matron of Honor
My sister and best friend!!!! I couldn’t imagine anyone else standing next to me on my special day. Sisters are your built in best friends, but Steph went above and beyond that throughout my life. She ALWAYS pushed me to be the best I could (making me take Spanish instead of Cherokee), made me practice extra hard to get my back-handspring, and all around just made me into the independent, strong willed woman I am today. We fought like crazy growing up, but I'm so thankful for all the bonding years we've had since then. She's been my best friend, my sorority sister, my roommate, she made me an aunt...and at the end of the day, the title she holds above them all, is that she's my very best friend! I love you, sister!
Jackie Livingston
Bridesmaid
Jackie is one of those friends that I don't ever remember not knowing. We grew up down the street from one another, we were roommates Freshmen year at OU, and she’s my favorite person to attend OU games with. We've seen the best and worst in each other, and still manage to look past it all. She's also that friend who I could probably go two years without talking to, but we both still know where we stand and that we'll always be in each other's lives. She's sassy, outspoken, and independent...and I wouldn't have her any other way. I love you, Jack!
Felicia Gourley
Bridesmaid
Felicia is one of my childhood friends. We have countless memories together throughout high school, shared many stories over the phone in our early 20s, and I have so enjoyed watching us grow our friendship into our 30s. When you meet Felicia at the wedding you'll quickly understand why we're friends. She has one of the kindest hearts you'll ever find. She is the definition of a great friend, because no matter the situation, you can always know that she'll drop everything to lend a hand or a listening heart. She's been there for me through a lot, so I am beyond thankful that she's going to be there for me on my wedding day. I love you, Fishy!
Jessica Josserand
Bridesmaid
Jess & I met Freshman year at OU when we both pledged Chi O, but it wasn’t until our Sophomore year when we became weekend dance partners (and some Wednesdays at Brothers)! I can’t imagine my college years without her (or Grace), and I’m so thankful that she always had my back. From trips to Dallas and Austin, Denver Derby Days, Oktoberfest, birthday parties, St. Pattys day celebrations, hikes in Estes Park, OU/tx weekends, Red Dirt concerts...and I have to say it...doing laps @ 747!!! Thank goodness for pictures is all I can say, bc some of my most fun memories are with you. When you meet Jess at the wedding, you'll know who she is...she'll be the first one (and the last one) on the dance floor, HAHA! She's outgoing and so fun, I'm blessed to call her my friend! Love you, Jess!
Allie Meador
Bridesmaid
Allie and I first met when we were working at FOX25/CW34. She was the new girl and she came in ready to rock n roll. If you know how a commission job goes, then you’ll understand that I didn’t immediately “like” this new girl. Allie quickly showed me how tenacious she was, and I couldn’t help but appreciate her hard working nature. We started enjoying happy hours together, and I got to know the real Allie. She’s one of my most favorite souls I’ve ever met, and our history (though different) is so uniquely the same. I’m blessed to call Allie my friend, and even more thankful to have her standing by me on my wedding day. Love you, Al!
Emily Olshavsky
Bridesmaid
Emily and I met a couple years ago through work. She's one of our California reps. We hit it off immediately! Our love for healthy eating, fitness, and trying new things made our friendship grow quickly, and it's not uncommon for us to talk 2-3 times a day (even though most of those calls are us playing phone tag. #replife). I am so thankful that Emily came into my life, and I’m even more thankful that she is going to be standing next to me on my wedding day. We've only known each other for a couple years, but it feels like a lifetime. Love you, Em!
Pearl Ann Courtney
Flower Girl
Oh my sweet Pearl. 😍 She’s definitely going to steal the show from me, but I don’t mind one bit. This little girl stole my heart 2 years ago, and I know everyone who meets her will understand why. She's all personality, and I love watching her learn and grow! I love you, Pearl girl!
Heather Cole
House Party
Heather is Aaron’s sister. She’s been my sounding board throughout the years when Aaron was driving me crazy 😉 Heather is so sweet and selfless and I’m blessed to have her as my future sister in law.
Sheila Barbee
House Party
Sheila is also Aaron’s sister. She lives in Phoenix so we haven’t got to see each other too often outside of holidays, but I know she has an amazing heart and I’m blessed to also call her my future sister in law.
Mitch David
Best Man
Mitch and I formed our friendship in junior high playing football and baseball together and that freindship stuck through our high school years and beyond. We won a baseball state championship together in 2002 at Verdigris High School, been on a lot of hunting and fishing outtings, I was in his wedding (a long time ago), and we will have just returned back from a week long elk hunt in CO by the time this wedding rolls around. Looking forward to many more "man" trips with Mitch.
Reid Heskett
Best Man
Similar to Mitch, Reid and I became friends in junior high playing football, basketball, and baseball together. Reid was also part of the 2002 baseball state championship team with me and I still remember the homerun he hit against Chandler in round one. Reid and I went on to play juco baseball in OKC after high school and had the worst of times (morning workouts, running, running some more) and the best of times during those two years. I should also mention we, along with two other friends, shared a 2 bedroom apartment for 2yrs during our time playing juco baseball....it was cramped, but definitely would not change that experience. Good times.
Terrance Morrison
Groomsman
Terrance (Terry) and I played juco baseball together my freshman year. We instantly became close friends and had more good times than I can count. Honestly, we spent most of our free weekends (when not playing ball) at the Wormy Dog in OKC watching red dirt country music and enjoying the moment. Aside from being one of the most fun guys to be around, he is the hardest worker I know and would do anything to help a friend in need.
Kenny Cole
Groomsman
I had to include Kenny because he married my sister....JK :) . Kenny is such an awesome guy, if you know him you know. Him and I have grown closer and closer as the years have passed and he's the first person I told after I bought Brittany's ring and who I sought ring buying advice from! I always enjoy spending time with Kenny, though he still hasn't talked me into taking up golf...I'm sure that will happen some day.
Matt Longan
Groomsman
Matt and I became friends shortly after he sold me a couple life insurance policies, I figured I should get something out of the policies since I won't get any of it when I'm gone ;) All joking aside, Matt and I pretty much view the world the same way and both like hunting, so naturally we have become good friends over the 4yrs I've known him. We have killed a lot of ducks together (mostly from me calling them in), a few quail, a few crane and one pheasant. Looking forward to many more hunting trips with Matt as the years go on.
Robert Thurman
Groomsman
Robert and I were actually introduced by Terry when the three of us were still at OU. Robert and I quickly became good friends and have since been on many great trips to CO for snowboarding, FL for his bachelor party and OU/FSU game (OU won, of course), and Vegas for a guys weekend...I'm sure I've missed some. Always a good time hanging out with Robert and looking forward to many more. He's also traveling the farthest to be at my wedding so you other guys have no excuses!
KC Cole
Ring Bearer
Kenneth Cole III, or KC3, for short :) is my nephew and the sweetest boy I know. So glad and proud to have him be part of my special day. He is such a funny, curious, silly, and smart young man. He might come off a little shy at first, but once he warms up, he comes out of his shell x2. We start out hitting the baseball in the backyard, then quickly turn to kicking the soccer ball, then maybe the swing set or slide...always keeps you guessing and entertained. Love you, KC.
