Maid of Honor
I met Jill when we were thirteen years old through FMHS Colorguard. We have been friends for thirteen years! During high school, we shared so many fun memories! Jill and I loved going to the lake, frequented the Mr. Frosty in Denton, and wore out the Childish Gambino CD in her Kia. We even took a trip to California together to celebrate our high school graduation. After high school, Jill and I were college roommates for a brief period before she pursued her dreams and moved to Washington to train race horses. Jill and I always get together when she comes to visit family (Velvet Taco has become our favorite spot!) I have had the privilege of visiting Jill in Seattle where we went to the Woodland Park Zoo and The Museum of Pop Culture! Most recently, Jill spent a few months training in St. Petersburg, Florida and I had so much fun visiting her! We ate so much seafood and kayaked in glass-bottomed boats. Jill's friendship means so much to me and I am so grateful that we have remained best friends despite the long distance. Asking her to be my maid of honor was a no-brainer!
Maid of Honor
Autumn and I met when we joined the Gamma Phi Beta Fall 2016 pledge class and we have been inseparable since. We spent a lot of time in each other's dorm rooms talking and studying with one another. We also made time for fun in college and attended countless events and parties together. Honestly, Autumn is a big part of how Ben and I started dating! Ben and I had a lot of mutual friends, and we expressed interest in each other to our friends, but we were too shy to talk to each other. Autumn played matchmaker and orchestrated an entire "kickback" just so we could hang out. Our friendship has only grown stronger after graduating college. We are both educators that are obsessed with reading and anything in the fantasy realm. We have enjoyed several Renaissance fairs together and recently celebrated her birthday at Medieval Times! I know that no matter what we are doing, Autumn and I are going to have fun together. I couldn't ask for a better friend!
Bridesmaid
Bailea and I met when she joined Gamma Phi Beta and we instantly knew that we wanted to be big and little sisters. Sometimes when you meet someone, you just click. When new members had to create a list of potential big sisters, she wrote my name down five times. During college, we had so much fun doing impromptu photoshoots, suffering through Dr. Jacob's Shakespeare class, and attending campus events together. Bailea has always been there for the big moments in my life. No matter what I am celebrating, Bailea is always there to support me. Every big and little sorority duo dreams of being in each other's wedding's, and I am so grateful to have Bailea by my side on our big day.

I became acquainted with Maddie at TAMUC where we were both English majors and took several classes together, but it wasn't until my first year of teaching at CHS that Maddie and I became good friends. During my first year of teaching, she was a student teacher, and it felt so comforting to have someone my age to talk to during my first year navigating a new career. After she finished her student teaching, an opening became available at CHS; I begged her to apply for the job, and she got it! During the two years we taught at CHS, Maddie and I became "teacher besties." We did everything together. We became very close from starting a book club to making boba runs during lunch. We both left CHS the same year, but our friendship grew stronger. I am so glad that my teacher bestie became my real-life bestie.
Best Man
Dhruv and I studied Computer Science together at East Texas A&M University. We were in a lot of the same classes and having a smart and reliable friend like Dhruv made the classes more enjoyable and meaningful. Dhruv also was a part of Leadership Without Limits with Cameron where they traveled to South Africa together. Dhruv and his girlfriend Naomee have been great friends to Cameron and I. We have had some very fun experiences together such as going to comedy shows, trying new restaurants, and scootering around downtown Dallas. Dhruv is a easy choice for best man and will be a great addition to the fun we will be having in Las Vegas.
Best Man
Jake and I had seen each other skateboarding around our college campus but had never formally met. By coincidence, we both ended up at Alliance Skatepark one summer day, which led to us finally connecting. We quickly bonded over our shared passion for skateboarding and music, and our friendship grew from there. As I adjusted to college life, Jake became a great friend and introduced me to the Sigma Chi Fraternity, where I developed valuable leadership skills. His guidance and support had a meaningful impact on me, and I’m grateful to have him as my best man.
Groomsman
Travis, my brother and groomsman, has always been a source of inspiration in my life. His dedication and work ethic, which led him to earn a doctorate in aerospace engineering, have motivated me to push myself and work hard. Whether excelling in his career or dominating on the pickleball court, Travis leads by example with ambition, resilience, and determination. I’m grateful to have him by my side for this special day.

Dalton and I work together at Traxxas. Going on lunch breaks together at work makes work so much more enjoyable and gives me something to look forward to throughout the week. Dalton is such a good friend and always gives me thoughtful gifts on birthdays and holidays. Dalton and his wife Zaynah are great friends of Cameron and I and we had a great time at their wedding and they really inspire us. Dalton is a hardworking coworker and a world-class gamer. Dalton also has great taste in things like whiskey and cigars, so he is an essential friend to have.
