Mother of the Bride
My mom is truly my best friend and the person I have always looked up to. She is the strongest woman I know, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her love, guidance, constant support, or her credit card. Some of my favorite memories growing up were us dancing around the house and singing like no one is watching or her waking me up with her beautiful singing voice. We've also done a great deal of traveling together, and I will always be grateful for her allowing me to tag along on all of her trip. I am so blessed to have her by my side on this day and always.
Mother of the Groom
My mom is such a strong woman and has always amazed me. From running her own company while taking care of three kids, to never saying no when one of us needed something, she was always there for us. I’ll always remember the many drives listening to the Toadies and her taking me to my first concert when they finally played an all-ages venue—even though I was asleep by the time they came out. It was one of the many experiences she gave me that I’ll always hold close. I’m so grateful for the memories we’ve made and can’t wait to make many more.
Father of the Groom
My dad and I have always shared a special relationship. From teaching me how to cook, hunt, and work on vehicles, though I’m now the one he calls for help. Even though he traveled a lot while I was growing up, he always made time for family and has always been there for me. I’ll never forget the countless 4 a.m. D&B trips so I could go to work with him, or jamming out to “Drift Away” on the way to my many sporting events. I’ve learned so much from him over the years. I couldn’t have asked for a better role model to show me the true meaning of fatherhood.
Maid of Honor
Carlee and I were in the same sorority since freshman year, we eventually were in the same family within Phi Mu. Carlee was quite shy and if you know me you know I was determined to crack her and get to know everything about her. One night in 2021 I did just that... after a long night of partying (a little too hard) I knew we would be best friends. We became roommates in 2022; we would watch every reality tv show we could find on our little couch in the best apartment, attended as many football games we could, and she would drag me to the bars every chance she got. Carlee has been there for me through everything, even switching our majors at the same time to nursing! We have created some of my most cherished memories and I could not be more thankful for our friendship.
Bridesmaid
Hayley and I met during orientation for nursing school; I was so nervous because I didn't know anyone, I randomly sat at the same table as her and again was determined to make some friends. I did just that and found someone that couldn't be more similar to myself. We instantly clicked and made it our mission to never be separated through nursing school. I swear I don't think we could make it through without each other, we text all day long, try as hard as we can to focus during class (it's hard when you have two goofballs sitting next to each other) and always find our way to make a one person job a two person job during clinicals. I will always cherish our 4am 2 hour car rides that are never silent because we talk about anything and everything.
Bridesmaid
Tate and I met during orientation for nursing school, I was so glad that I found someone my age and so similar to myself. Myself, Tate, and Hayley quickly became the trio that couldn't be separated so why would that change on my wedding day? But seriously I have loved growing our friendship over the past 2 years and will always cherish our 30 minute lunch dates in between classes and long drives to clinicals bright and early. I know I can always count on her and this is a life-long friendship no matter where the world takes us.
Bridesmaid
Sister of the groom My sister and I have always shared a close relationship growing up, from lake days and family vacations to countless trips for pho in Lewisville. No matter what, we always made time for each other. I’ll never forget the late-night drive to the river house when she accidentally hit a bird under an overpass; I laughed, she cried for a while, which honestly says everything about who she is. She’s someone who always cares deeply for everyone and everything around her and consistently puts others before herself. I’m so happy that Camryn chose her to stand by her side so that she could be part of our wedding day. I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Bridesmaid
Sister-in-law of the bride Jordan came into our lives in 2019 as my brothers girlfriend. Little did I know, not long after they would get married and give our family the best gift of all; my twin nieces who have brought so much love and laughter into our lives. Jordan is someone I know I can always count on when I need someone to talk to or run errands with, and I am so grateful to have the sister I never had growing up.
Best Man
Westin and I met in sixth grade, and there was an instant connection that turned into a lifelong friendship. Over the next few years, we became inseparable; hanging out every day after school and bonding over anything with a motor. That included our matching red go-karts, one of which Westin famously rolled and broke his wrist on shortly after we got them. From vacations to hunting trips, we’ve shared countless memories and adventures. Even though he’s still a little mad at me for moving to Oklahoma, there’s no one else I’d want standing by my side as one of my best men on this day.
Best Man
You always hear the saying “brother from another mother,” and that’s exactly what Ryan is to me. With only a one-year age difference, our moms had us together from day one; he was there practically from the day I was born. From countless family vacations and summer lake days, we were always side by side, including the times his dad tried to kill us on the tube. I’m incredibly grateful that we never lost our connection or friendship, whether it was talking every week just to check in or hanging out at pops' for mine and Camryn’s favorite weekend of the year—the Fourth of July. Ryan isn’t my brother by blood, but by choice, and I couldn't have asked for a better life long friend.
Groomsman
Daniel and I first met in Scouts in sixth grade, and I won’t lie; we didn’t get along at first. Over time, though, that changed, and we built a bond that couldn’t be broken. He quickly became one of my best friends, especially through our shared love of old vehicles that aren’t exactly the most reliable form of transportation. We’ve spent countless weekends helping each other with our projects, usually accepting payment in the form of a case of beer. I know that whenever I call, he’ll always answer, no questions asked. Having Daniel by my side on this day was an easy choice, knowing he’s someone who’s always there no matter what.
Groomsman
Mash and I first met in high school through mutual friends, and an instant friendship formed. He’s the kind of guy you can call whenever you need something, and he’ll always answer. Mash is always organizing guys’ dinners and birthday festivities, and he’s definitely the life of the party; making sure everyone stays entertained. Whether it’s a steakhouse, the casino, or even a quick bite at the tavern, it’s always a good time when he’s around. That’s what made him such an easy choice to stand next to me on my wedding day.
Groomsman
Brother of the bride Colton has always been my protector and my best friend. Growing up we didn't have the typical sibling rivalry; I remember wanting to do everything he did and go everywhere he went and he wanted me there just as much. Throughout the years he has always been my biggest supporter even from the sidelines. He welcomed Colton into the family immediately and treated him like the brother he never had; they've had many late nights fishing, days golfing, and even working at the same company together. I truly couldn't have asked for a better bigger brother to look up to my whole life.
Officiant
We met James through the brides mother Lisa, he has always been a warm welcome and the life of every party. We have loved traveling with him and his wife Julie and always exploring new places. We are so honored to have someone that knows us as a couple marrying us.
