Candice & Michael
Wedding Party
Ally
Maid of Honor
Ally is my maid of honor. We became friends in 8th grade and have been close ever since. Ally is one of the kindest souls I have ever met. She’s a social butterfly with the best personality. Ally owns her own cleaning company and is the true definition of a boss babe. Seeing her take care of her babies and build her business has made me admire her that much more. I am blessed to have a friend like her. Her sweet daughter Alyvia will be a flower girl 💕
Christina
Maid of Honor
Christina is my first cousin, but she is more like a sister. We have been close my whole life. She has taught me everything from how to pluck your eyebrows to how to stand up for yourself. She is fiercely loyal and loving and someone you can always call for backup in any situation. Her son Conner has become the light of my life. He will be a ring bearer. Together they take up a lot of space in my heart ❤️
Hannah
Bridesmaid
Hannah is one of my best friends in the whole world. We used to play together as babies due to my uncle and her dad being friends. We then reconnected in nursing school. We instantly clicked and have been besties since. Hannah is my go-to in a crisis. She is the calm to my storm. She has helped me keep my head on straight since we met. Friends that push you to be the best version of yourself are rare. And Hannah is one of those friends. One of the truest friends I have ever had. Very grateful for her and her friendship ❤️
Elizabeth
Bridesmaid
Liz is one of the best friends I have ever been blessed with. Really more like a sister at this point. She was the first person I called after meeting Michael for the first time. I remember saying “he’s actually a lot cuter than he was in his pictures!!!” 🤣 She has walked me through many trials and tribulations. Many late night phone calls. Liz is the type of friend that we can go months without talking but when the phone rings we pick up right where we left off. We have truly watched each other grow up. I am so proud of who she has become and what a wonderful mother she is. Her sweet son Anthony will be a ring bearer ❤️
Anisha
Bridesmaid
Anisha has been my friend since 3rd grade. We’ve always bonded over makeup and clothes - all things girly. She was the first person to ever introduce me to the product MAC and started my addiction to high-end makeup. We have gone through all the trends together. 🤣 You can always count on Anisha to get the party going. If there is one thing Anisha is - it’s a hype woman. Love her always.
Rachel
Bridesmaid
Rachel is Michaels cousin. Long before we were engaged Rachel asked Michael “so when are you going to propose?” I knew I loved her immediately. She is one of the sweetest souls I have ever met and I am blessed to have her standing beside me on my special day!
Shamicha
Bridesmaid
Shamicha has been my friend since 8th grade. She is loving, loyal and hilarious. She is the type of person you do not want to look at in a situation where you shouldn’t be laughing - because she will make you laugh. When I think of Shamicha I think of laughing until my stomach hurts and tears coming down my cheeks. She is also always brutally honest which is sometimes not as fun, but always appreciated. And she gives the best hugs. I love her always.
Gabriella
Bridesmaid
Gabi aka “Tina” is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. Gabi is one of those people that will do just about anything for the people she loves. She’s the “boujee” friend. Definitely a role model when it comes to clothes, cars, nails - just about everything. She’s always down to do anything and I love her for that. ❤️ She currently lives her best life in Georgia, but always makes a point to show up for her friends back here in Kentucky. So proud of her and all she has accomplished.
Brittney
Bridesmaid
Brittney is my Aries sister. She’s the friend you can call in the middle of the night and know she’s always going to show up. A true ride or die friendship. She’s seen me at my worst and loved me anyways. We’ve gone on countless adventures and have countless memories together. She is one of the best people I know and I love her endlessly.
Hunter
Best Man
I met hunter freshman year of high school and from day one we were 2 peas in a pod. He’s like a brother to me even so that my parents call him their middle child. I can always count on him whenever I need help. His son Koda is a ring bearer. I can’t wait until he grows up and is able to refill my beers and go on our hunting trips.
Niko
Best Man
Me and niko met in high school his freshman year of high school when I showed up fora double date to see Kenny chesney and George Jones in concert. Since that night we’ve been the best of friends. He’s another I can always count on for anything. It’s always a good time and lots of laughs to be had when he’s around.
Stephen
Groomsman
Stephen is my only brother. Although we fought like cats and dogs and our personalities are like Ying and Yang I’ve always had a soft spot for him. And he never ratted me out even though he could have multiple times and he never black mailed me either haha. Hope he moves back soon and we can get closer. His daughter Monica will be a flower girl.
Jordan
Groomsman
When I met niko I had to meet Jordan soon after. Like me and hunter, niko and Jordan were 2 peas in a pod. Jordan always has a smile on his face and had one of the most positive attitudes I’ve ever seen. Even when everyone else can only talk about the bad he’s always there to talk about the one good thing out of it.
Matthew
Groomsman
Matt is my cousin but I like to call him my older brother. I always looked up to him and admired him and always wanted to be just like him. He’s the most badass guy I know and the coolest. He’s another I wish would move back home so he can join me in all my hunting adventures.
Jake
Groomsman
I’ve known jake for a long time I’ve been in school with him since the 5th grade. We never were really friends in a sense that we hung out back in high school but we became closer after school when we started doing some fishing together and hunting. He’s a good hearted man and glad he’s finally moved back to Kentucky.
Barrett
Groomsman
I’ve known Barrett for the shortest amount of time than the rest of my friends but I have a lot to thank him for and give him credit for. He intoduced me to the great sport of waterfowl and I got bit by the bug hard since day one. From our first hunt where we didn’t even get to pull the trigger. The comradery was enough to hook me for life.
Justin
Groomsman
I met Justin one day when I found out my cousin Hannah was going to be married to him. I learned very quickly that we had a lot of the same interests like hunting and fishing. I mean, how can you be from Minnesota and not hunt or fish. But getting to know Justin has been a real pleasure and hope that one day I’ll get to spend some time up in Minnesota for the early goose season and kill some birds.
Scout
Groomsman
Me and Scout met when I started working as an electrician. He’s been a real dear friend of mine ever since. He also got me my first turkey and a rather large one at that. He was my favorite person to work with and around on our job sites because of his sense of humor and the jokes he’d play on everyone.
