Cara & Bo
Wedding Party
Reid Moran
Best Man
Reid and Bo met in 2010, when they ended up as roommates for their Freshman year at Virginia Tech. As luck would have it, the two ended up becoming best friends and lived together all throughout college. Whether it was at a tailgate, spring break, summer classes, or the annual putt-putt golf tournament in their townhouse appropriately named The Plasters, Reid and Bo were always together.
Emily Sherry
Maid of Honor
Emily is Cara's younger and only sister. Emily has traveled the world and has been living in Chicago this year for a fellowship. Emily could not be more different from Cara, yet they are very close. Emily loves the outdoors and would be WICKED excited if anyone wants to join her on a run before the wedding!
Stephen Koons
Officiant
Stephen attended Virginia Tech with Bo and a lot of the other guests. Stephen lived in Charleston for a while and was Bo's roommate. When Cara moved in with Bo, the three of them shared a home. Stephen also has a cat named Bo.
Stephanie Purvis
Bridesmaid
Steph is Bo's oldest sister and is already a big sister to Cara. Steph will be traveling down from VA and has two of her four kids living in South Carolina as well. She will be moving to South Carolina very soon-we just need to convince her to buy a big piece of land for our family compound.
Missy Freeman
Bridesmaid
Missy is one of Bo's older sisters and is always making everyone laugh! Missy has the cutest little doggie daughter, named Penny, and is an amazing mom to her. Missy lived in the great state of SC when she attended Clemson. You'll find Missy with her husband, Ben, having a great time and convincing others to do the same!
Amber Bui
Bridesmaid
Amber is one of Bo's sisters. Amber started off the tradition and went to Virginia Tech. Amber loves to work out and is amazing at taking pictures. Amber learned and performed her first shot gun seltzer last year, so make sure to ask her to show you when you see her.
Marie Maness
Bridesmaid
Marie is the baby of the Maness family. Marie has passed the bar twice now and has been able to keep the Maness family out of trouble this far-which is not an easy job. Marie spent some time in the lovely state of SC and attended USC for her undergrad. Marie will be moving back to SC this year and will be hanging with Bo and Cara all the time now!
Mac Clark
Groomsman
Mac and Bo met during Freshman year at Virginia Tech. Thousands of Hokie House doubles, hundreds of football games, dozens of accidental knockouts, and a mutual love of scheming our way to retirement has led to over a decade long friendship. Thankfully, Mac was able to accept this role because Virginia Tech football and basketball are not playing. If you want to see what passion (addiction) looks like, ask him what he's bet on recently or today.
Matt Castele
Groomsman
Matt and Bo met in 2016 at the apartment building that they both lived at because of mutual interests in drinking by the pool. After years of concerts, moving into houses, fishing, hanging on their boat, and "watching the kids" (watching football while at least one of his kids are within sight), they are still great friends. If you end up enjoying yourself too much during the wedding, you'll want Dr. Matt's info to hook you up to an IV!
Zack Stronko
Groomsman
Zack and Bo Met during the first week of freshman year at Virginia Tech and bonded over hunting, fishing, and getting into dumb stuff. Zack is the kid that would listen once in class and immediately understand everything about the subject, which was awesome if you accidentally missed a class or 10. If you want to get humbled real quick, just pass Zack a few beers, piss him off, and challenge him to corn hole.
Nate Jabs
Groomsman
Nate and Bo met during their freshman year at Virginia Tech and also both lived in Charleston before Nate left for love (which ended up working out - what's up, Logan!) While in Charleston, Nate and Bo did their best to keep a bar called My Father's Mustache in business by feeding the pool tables with quarters and drinking just enough Bud Lights to light up the dance floor!
Paige Winsness
Flower Girl
Paige is Cara's cousin, co worker and best friend. Paige lives in Charleston and has known Bo right from the beginning when he started dating Cara. Paige has become like a little sister to Bo and is already part of the family! Paige works at the same school as Cara and will be student teaching there this Spring! Paige also got engaged this year and has been a BIG help planning Bo and Cara's wedding!
Zoe and Dixie Mae
Flower Child
We could not get married without our babies! Zoe has been with Cara since she graduated college and quickly fell in love with Bo (maybe even before Cara did!). Bo was such an amazing dog dad and decided to surprise Cara with a covid puppy and that is when little Dixie Mae joined the family. They are the best girls and we are hoping they can behave long enough to get down the aisle.
Teddy and Parker Castele
Ring Bearer
Teddy and Parker have been in Bo and Cara's life longer than they have been alive! They are like nephews to Cara and Bo. Teddy and Parker like to hang out on the weekends with Cara and Bo and make sure everyone behaves and has lots of snacks!
