Kayla & Marcus
Wedding Party
Lyndsay Bradford
Maid of Honor
Lyndsay and Kayla have been best friends for over 10 years. From the time they were 14, there was no question that they would be lifelong friends. It is no question that these two girls RAN Middle Creek High School. From auctions to football games, Lyndsay and Kayla were attached at the hip! No matter how far apart or length between visits, these two pick up right where they left off. This entire wedding experience would not be the same without Lyndsay and Kayla cannot wait for Lyndsay to stand by her side. #whaletail #cheesedip #friedrice
Zach Whitley
Best Man
Zach and Marcus have been best friends since they were in 1st grade. From Timber Drive Elementary, North Garner Middle & Middle Creek High School these two have been best friends for 17 long years. Growing up, their favorite hobbies included playing Xbox Live, basketball, sitting around bonfires, and midnight runs to Cookout & Waffle House. Attending different universities could not diminish their friendship as it is 100% pure. They are united in a brotherhood that will last a lifetime. #Timber #Gingy #Bestman
Olivia Aulava
Bridesmaid
Olivia and Kayla have been best friends since they were 4 years old in preschool. They continued their friendship at Wildwood Elementary in Federal Way, Washington until 2003. At that time, Kayla moved to North Carolina and the friendship between these two could not have grown stronger. Kayla and Olivia made it a priority to talk on the phone as much as possible. Every time Kayla returns to Washington for a visit, she always makes a special trip to visit with Olivia, even if it is only for a couple hours. Kayla could not imagine sharing this special day without her best friend of 22 years! #Emma #ES11 #Sylina
Trevor Inman
Groomsman
Marcus and Trevor met in their early days attending the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Trevor, with the help of Devin Woodall, convinced Marcus to join the same Fraternity as him; ultimately ending up as pledge brothers. Marcus and Trevor were roommates during their Sophomore year of college when living in a party house also known as The Vineyard 2.0. After college graduation Trevor began his career and moved to Winston-Salem, North Carolina . These two friends still spend an ample amount of time together by taking trips across the country and traveling to nearby universities to enjoy college football. #CFB #NOLA #Graham-Hewlett
Carly Dressen
Bridesmaid
Carly and Kayla have been best friends since the 6th grade. It is crazy to believe that this friendship started over a Pepsi vs. Coke science experiment. These two were definitely the loudest pair in all of Holly Springs. Carly joined Kayla in Tri Delta at NC State in 2012 and the sisterhood between these two grew even stronger. Carly always knows how to bring light into someones life and Kayla is forever thankful to have Carly stand by her on this special day. #Carlaylay #LilDinos #DDHY
Nick Sims
Groomsman
Nick is another pledge brother of Marcus. The duo finished off their last two years of undergrad being roommates at 228 Wooddale. Nick and Marcus were not only great friends; they also worked together on the executive board for Pi Kappa Alpha where Marcus was the Recruitment Chairman and Nick was the Pledge Educator. Their ultimate goal was to recruit and vet the best men into the chapter and indeed they did. They have enjoyed many trips together ranging from Richmond, Greenville, Chapel Hill, Memphis, Los Angeles and beyond. Nick also takes great pride in his Chocolate Lab niece named Theta, who he assisted in raising while in Wilmington. #228 #WeNice #Bando2.0
Delany Stefanski
Bridesmaid
Delany and Kayla have been best friends since their Sophomore year of high school! From musicals to football games, Delany and Kayla have made many priceless memories together. There is no doubt that you would find these two visiting at each others colleges at least twice a month! Delany is a genuine friend who always knows exactly what to say. She cares deeply and will always be there in a time of need. Delany has been a huge help in the planning process of this wedding and Kayla could not imagine doing it without her! #broom #plate #wilmi
Devin Woodall
Groomsman
Marcus and Devin met the summer before college and realized that they would be suite mates during their first year at UNCW. The first time that the two hung out they went fishing and since the summer of 2013, they have been great friends. Marcus and Devin were pledge brothers and consider themselves along with Trevor; the triplets. From 2013 until now the duo enjoys being around each others families, attending & tailgating college football games, and most of all throwing back cold ones. #Bones #TakeOutTheTooth #Wolfpack
Annemarie Phearsdorf
Bridesmaid
Annemarie and Kayla met in Senior English class at Middle Creek High School. They instantly became best friends and have grown even closer over the years. One event that you will always see them together at is football games. From MCHS games in high school to NCSU games during and after college, these girls always know how to have a good time. Annemarie was married in 2018 and Kayla was so thankful that Annemarie chose her to help plan her wedding. Now it is Annemarie's time to help Kayla! Kayla is very thankful for this friendship and cannot wait to have Annemarie stand by her side! #MCHS #NCSU #tailgates
Chandler Singletary
Groomsman
Marcus and Chandler met at a Pike rush event during their first year at UNCW. Quickly Marcus found out that this friendship would be filled with laughter as Chandler was the pledge class clown. Chandler is not only funny, but he also has a great taste in music. He was unofficially anointed the DJ of the fraternity and held that office with honor. Outside of Wilmington, these two men have had the time of their lives on trips to Los Angeles, Panama City, Gulf Shores, and New Orleans. Marcus and Chandler both began their careers in Charlotte, NC and hang out regularly. #TMZ #Swaggy #Slappers
Cassie Morris
Bridesmaid
Cassie and Kayla have been best friends since their freshman year of high school. They were always together, whether it was chorus class, football games, or musicals. Going to two different colleges was difficult, but these two always made it an effort to see each other on breaks and over the summer. Living in two different cities has made it hard for Cassie and Kayla to see one another, but they know they are only a phone call away. If Kayla ever needs anything, she can always rely on Cassie to be there. Cassie gives the best advice and always keeps Kayla calm in stressful situations. Kayla is very lucky to have Cassie by her side! #Oklahoma #football #seniorcruise
Cadan Tyndall
Groomsman
Cadan was one of Marcus' first friends at UNCW. By luck they sat beside each other in their first semester math class and ended up at the same fraternity rush event. Marcus and Cadan both joined Pi Kappa Alpha during the fall semester of their freshman year. The duo served on their fraternities exec board; Cadan as Pledge Educator and Marcus as VP. Since college they frequently visit each other in Charlotte and Wilmington and enjoy taking trips and drinking craft beer. #Beerfest #CasaDeFlamaBlanca #Theta
Maya Bullock
Bridesmaid
Maya and Kayla have known each other for over 8 years. It is crazy to believe that Kayla knew Maya before she knew Marcus. These two graduated from MCHS and ended up graduating from NCSU together. The memories that these two have made together are ones that Kayla will cherish forever. Maya will stand up for what she believes in and that includes always having Kayla's back. Maya is the best big sister to Marcus and Kayla cannot wait to officially call Maya a sister of her own! #Mayyah #peanutgallery #sisterinlaw
Brandon Hunter
Groomsman
Marcus and Brandon met their freshman year at Middle Creek High School. While at Middle Creek the duo were football teammates on JV and Varsity all 4 years. Upon high school graduation both friends decided to attend UNC-Wilmington and be roommates their freshman year. While at UNCW Marcus and Brandon's friendship grew by taking classes together and ensuring that each finished what they started. Some of their favorite memories include spring breaks to Panama City Beach, New Orleans, and many nights at the bars. #Mustangs #Bhunt #HawksBy90
Cameron Johnston
Bridesmaid
Cameron and Kayla met as freshman at North Carolina State University. They both were elementary education majors and had many classes together. Throughout their college career, Cameron and Kayla became very close. From early morning tailgates to late night homework sessions, these two girls have spent countless hours together. You may also catch them at a local country concert in Raleigh. After moving away, these two teachers can spend hours on the phone talking endlessly about the excitement that comes with being a teacher. Kayla is so excited for Cameron to be a part of her special day and cannot wait to share another special memory with her. #ncstate #elmed #teacherlife
Garrett Smith
Groomsman
Garrett and Marcus have known each other for almost 9 years. Garrett is Kayla's older brother and began to build a friendship with Marcus from the very beginning. Over the years, they have experienced many family outings and vacations. These vacations include trips to Myrtle Beach, Seattle, and the Bahamas. There is rarely a time when these two are not talking about sports, anything from NFL Fantasy Football to the latest NBA Draft. Marcus is lucky to be adding another brother into his family. #BrotherinLaw #Sports #family
Ryleigh Hanks
Flower Girl
Ryleigh is the beautiful niece of Marcus and Kayla. From the moment her mother, Tiffany, said that she was pregnant with a girl, Kayla claimed Ryleigh as their flower girl. This little girl has so much spunk and sass that it is hard to believe that she is only 3 years old. Marcus and Kayla are so thankful to have such a special little girl be a part of their special day!
