Brittany & Zachary
Wedding Party
Brooke Hodge
Maid of Honor
Meet Brooke, my Maid of Honor and lifelong best friend. Our story began in the most unexpected place: a preschool bathroom. I was 4, she was 3, and we instantly connected. The teachers had to come looking for us because we were lost in conversation, completely oblivious to time. That day, our moms, Lisa (mine) and Karen (Brooke's), met in the lobby and discovered we lived in the same neighborhood. They arranged a play date for us, and from that moment on, we were inseparable. Thank you, moms, for sparking the beginning of a beautiful friendship! Growing up in different grades, we had our own circles of friends, but we always made sure to include each other in our lives. We've shared countless memories, laughter, and even tears, and through it all, our bond has only grown stronger. Recently, Brooke moved to California, putting us on opposite sides of the country. It hasn't been easy, but we've found ways to stay connected. Facetime has become our saving grace, letting us share in each other's lives despite the distance. Brooke has even joined me for dress appointments virtually, making sure she's still a part of this special journey. Brooke, your unwavering support and love mean the world to me. You've been my rock, my confidant, and my sister in every way that matters. I am so grateful to have you by my side on my wedding day and every day after. No matter where life takes us, I know our friendship will remain unbreakable.
Rodney Spencer
Best Man
Meet Rodney, my Best Man and my father. Rodney has always been there for me when I needed him. He has set an amazing example for me as a father and a devoted husband. Even though he was working two jobs he always made time to be there for me for every major event and even the less significant events. I will always cherish all the sports practices, games, and band competitions throughout my life. I hope to be half the man he is and live up as a father, a husband, and a worker. I am so happy to have Rodney as my Best Man and can’t wait to have him by my side on the big day!
Celeste Curti
Bridesmaid
Meet Celeste, one of my dearest friends and a vibrant light in my life. We met at Appalachian State University, where she lived on the same floor as me. From the moment we met, we instantly clicked! Over the following three years of college, we lived together in three different apartment situations, sharing countless memories and adventures. Celeste's happy and energetic spirit has always brought so much joy into my life. She's a wonderful person who never fails to uplift those around her. Now, she's on her way to achieving her dreams, having gotten into grad school to become a doctor. Yay, go future Doctor Curti! We've been by each other's sides through the transition from childhood to adulthood, navigating the ups and downs together. Celeste, thank you for being an incredible friend and for always bringing your radiant energy into my life. I am so grateful to have you standing by my side on my wedding day and in all the days to come.
Tyler Bridges
Groomsman

Thank you for always being there and I love you like a brother! I can’t wait to have you by my side on the big day and get to dance the night away with you and my father!
Reagan Jolly
Bridesmaid
Meet Reagan, one of my best friends and a cherished bridesmaid. We met at Appalachian State University during orientation, where we spent a lot of time together learning about our new school and what our lives would soon look like. Soon after orientation, fate placed us on the same floor in our freshman dorm, and from there, our friendship blossomed. Throughout college, we remained inseparable, always connected by our similar tendencies and personalities. We just understood each other on a deep level, making our bond incredibly special. Together, we navigated the ups and downs of college life, supporting each other through the emotional rollercoaster that those years often brought. We've shared countless memories and have been there for each other through every challenge and triumph, growing into adults side by side. Reagan, thank you for being an amazing friend and for sharing this journey with me. I am so grateful to have you by my side on my wedding day and beyond.
