Maid of Honor
Brittany is the middle sister and one of Caitlyn’s closest friends. Growing up they were always super close and often mistaken for twins. They even dressed like it. You would always find them playing Barbie’s, dolls and little house on the prairie. They would also quote and reenact whole movies like The Parent Trap and Peter Pan. As adults, they moved out into their first apartment together as roommates. They did everything together and Caitlyn can't imagine anyone else standing right next to her on her wedding day.

Nic and Steve met at the College Ministry at World Outreach Church in 2014. They were able to play as part of the college ministry worship team together throughout the years. Since then their friendship has grown closer as they have become co-workers, vacation buddies, accountability partners, softball teammates, and even neighbors.
Co-Maid of Honor
The youngest sister and also one of Caitlyn’s closest friends. Rachel and Caitlyn grew up complete opposites in personality and how they do things - being your typical oldest and youngest sister. Growing up, the three sisters would always play together and create new worlds. As Caitlyn and Rachel grew older, they learned from each others differences and have become so much closer because of it. They enjoy watching the classic and sci fi tv shows together as well as spending time outdoors together. Rachel brings the fun and enjoyment to Caitlyn’s life and makes her try new things. After graduating from Lipscomb university in 2021, Rachel moved in with her sisters. Caitlyn is thankful to have Rachel to stand up there next to Brittany on her special day.

Nic and Dylan met at the College Ministry at World Outreach Church in 2014. They bonded through their love of music, getting to play on the worship team at the college ministry, sharing the experience of the touring musician life, and a shared sense of humor (Dylan is always looking for the joke). They've spent countless late nights playing video games, watching movies and comedy specials, and were each other's go to buddy for movies, concerts, and Nashville Predators games when they couldn't find a date in their single years haha.

Karis is one of Caitlyn’s closest childhood friends since preschool. They basically spent their entire childhood together in Springboro, OH. They both grew up in the same church, same homeschool group and were in various plays and activities together. Both Karis and Caitlyn moved around quite a bit, but they have kept in touch over the years. Caitlyn stood up with Karis on her special day and she is so thankful that Karis will get to be there for her day.
Groomsman
One of Nic's oldest friends. In fact, the Brown and the Smith families go back multiple generations to when their grandparents went to church together in Indiana, their parents went to college together at Hobe Sound Bible College in Florida, and then the families reconnected shortly after the Smith family moved to TN in 2001. Nic and Chip grew close and bonded through a love of Baseball and Hockey going to many Sounds and Preds games as well as a shared love of music - especially Muse! Nic was in Chip and Lindsay's wedding in 2015. Even though they have never lived in the same town, they have always made an effort to grab lunch or keep in touch with a phone call to this day.
Bridesmaid
Miranda is another one of Caitlyn’s closest childhood friends from preschool. Miranda’s family was basically Caitlyn’s second family growing up and they would spend multiple nights in a row at each other’s homes. They created their own spy headquarters under the basement stairs and would go on adventures in the creek behind Miranda's house. Throughout the years they would keep in contact with letters, many phone calls, and special visits. Caitlyn is so thankful to have Miranda be a part of her day as she couldn't imagine getting married without her.
Groomsman
Nic and his cousin Caleb were always close growing up. They loved playing army or cowboys in the backyard and shared a fascination with knives, firearms, and really anything survival related. As they have grown older, life hasn't allowed for as many visits and time spent together, but they still try to keep in touch and visit each other as often as possible. Nic was in Caleb and Ariana's wedding in 2013 and has been looking forward to having Caleb stand with him in his wedding since.

Tarryn and Caitlyn met back in the summer of 2011 at Stamps-Baxter school of music at MTSU. They were made roommates and immediately hit it off.

Caitlyn was maid of honor for her wedding and is godmommy to Tarryn’s two precious kiddos. Caitlyn is so blessed to have Tarryn stand with her on her wedding day.

Coen is one of Caitlyn’s special nanny kiddos that she cared for since he was just a few months old. She watched him and his older brother Colton for 5 years before they outgrew her and started school. He is a big ball of energy and is always doing things to make people laugh. Even though they don’t see each other as often any more, Coen will always be Caitlyn’s little squish.
