Officiant
We’re honored to have such a close friend marry us! Ari always shows up for us whether it’s to go to a wine festival, get bagels, workout, or watch Tennessee beat the Gators in football! When Ari isn’t officiating weddings or parenting his dog Lexie, he can usually be found on the dance floor requesting the greatest music curator of all time be played, Pitbull. *please note Ari likes to try to give away Lexie, but he's not serious*
Matron of Honor
Katie has been Brittney’s best friend since August 2009 when they met at JMU (GO DUKESS!) They both lived on the 8th floor of a dorm with no air conditioning…except Brittney thought Katie had air conditioning because her parents had an epic fan setup. Knowing Brittney, everything is a competition and she was immediately jealous. And thennnnn quickly befriended Katie for her cooler room and comfier bed. The rest is history. Katie has always been a part of Brittney’s life- the good and bad- and it’s an honor to have her laughter, makeup skills, amazing eyes (still jealous), and friendship throughout all of our life events!
Bridesmaid
Camryn, otherwise known as Cam, has been a grounding factor in Brittney’s life since grad school at the University of Tennessee. She’s a person Britt always travel states for, goes on adventures with, and laughs until she cries. There’s something about Cam that fills hearts with happiness and love, and of course all the amazing memories together that makes her a NECESSARY addition to our wedding and forever!
Bridesmaid
Lacey and Brittney have been close friends since grad school. When Brittney moved to Atlanta, Lacey (and Nick) helped make the move so much easier! Being that they've always lived within a walk or a 20 minute drive of each other, it was safe to say they became best friends! Lacey is always the first person on the dance floor, asking for two drinks at once, munching on anything within sight (no food is safe), and our favorite....falling asleep in the weirdest places. Brittney loves Lacey unconditionally, and loves making fun of Lacey unconditionally. It's an honor to reflect on all the memories and years of friendship, and to have her by our side when we get married!
Bridesmaid
Mara is Brittney's Little from her sorority at JMU! Don't be alarmed when Mara is yelling "BIG!" across the dance floor. Brittney and Mara had an immediate connection from the moment they met at JMU. Brittney always has said Mara is part of her soul, and that has never changed. Even with distance, the Big (biggie smalls)/Little duo always show up for each other. AOE.
Bridesmaid
Ariel is Brittney's (and now Mike's) little sister! The best memory is when Ariel came and lived in Atlanta with Brittney and Mike over summer. So many laughs, hangovers, and puppy cuddles. She quickly learned Mike is the one to ask to get Morelli's or anything really. We couldn't get married without our Sissy by our sides!!
Bridesmaid
Cassie has been one of Brittney's best friends since grad school! A friendship grounded in studying, drinking way too much, going to Myrtle Beach, cooking food, and watching Harry Potter. Cassie also owned the only cat Brittney has ever liked, Marshall. Brittney and Cassie have talked on their way to work everyday for probably over 4 years now, and are just as close, 11 years later! Cassie has plenty of stories about their shenanigans, and there's 100% chance she's heard about you on one of their calls! Slay the day queen is the best friends' favorite saying!
Best Man
Growing up, if Michael wasn't home, there's a good chance he was at Daniel's house, pillaging his fridge for OJ and pizza bagels (Thanks Jodi!). There are memories of playing poker and football at the bus stop before school. Visiting each other at their respective colleges (FSU & UF). Backpacking in Europe. Michael made the move up to Atlanta for a change of scenery at the time Daniel was living here. For those of you that have been personally victimized by Michael’s tardiness, just know Daniel’s been inducted into that Hall of Fame. Through it all, Daniel's been in Michael's corner like a brother.
Groomsman
A friendship that started in Kindergarten (having the same teacher in elementary school every year except 2nd grade), the theme of finding Michael at other people's houses growing up continues with Tony. Annual birthday celebrations for Tony highlighted by laser tag were a staple, along with going to Halloween Horror Nights with the rest of the guys. Michael's first Dolphins and Panthers games were a courtesy of Tony and his family. Despite Tony being rebellious and moving to Jacksonville, trips to St. Augustine and Jax have been some more recent friendship memories.
Groomsman
The last stop of Michael being at someone’s house growing up. Jordan’s snack cabinet was impecable! Another Kindergarten friendship that blossomed to high school where Michael would cheer on Jordan or by his alias, Grizz, on Friday nights for football and basketball. Nowadays, Jordan remains a core friend of the South Florida group for when Michael and Brittney visit.
Groomsman
Going to 3 Lil Wayne concerts during high school embodies Sean and Michael’s friendship of enjoying experiences with your buds. After high school, Sean had the pleasure of rooming with Michael in college not once, but twice. The two enjoyed being in the same fraternity and cheering on the FSU Seminoles. Possibly Britt’s biggest fan due to her Harry Potter influence on Michael and her playful way of making fun of him. Mike and Sean find themselves now consistently in the gym to balance out their appreciation for fine food.
Groomsman
A friendship that ensued partly through David being Tony’s neighbor and partly through Michael finishing 2 seconds behind David or Eggz every time in the 800M for high school track. As the two went on to college, a foundation for them was their appreciation for the music referred to as Electronic Dance Music, as to this day they’ll exchange songs as they come across them. The two have enjoyed going to Miami Music Week pool parties and dabbling in country music at multiple Tortuga festivals at Ft. Lauderdale Beach. If there’s anyone that can match Mike’s goofiness or to count on for a good time, it’s Eggz.
Groomsman
A product of different friend groups getting to know each other over time through high school. Michael would find the courage to ask Julian to be his roommate in college for two years after they both joined the same fraternity. A highlight of that time being when they moved their mattresses into the living room for some quality movie nights. Michael and Britt have spent a great Thanksgiving in the past with Julian’s family to include his mom, dad, his wife and son. A bond for Mike and Julian is being fluent in movie quotes that both Britt and Julian’s wife have witnessed first hand.
