Bridesmaid
Emily has been friends - no, best friends - with Caroline since middle school. The history can even go back all the way to pre-school if you research it! Emily has never failed at being a truly TRUE best friend and companion throughout the past fifteen years. When Kevin came into the picture, she showed an extreme desire the meet the man I had talked so curiously about. When we became a couple, she never, ever showed signs of concern. All a couple ever wishes on their wedding day is to have a group of loved-ones standing by them to make them share their love of happiness is felt completely. Emily is definitely one of those loved-ones.
Groomsman
David is probably the one person in our wedding party that has had the most interaction with the both of us as a couple (bless his heart). Throughout his two years living with us, he witnessed first hand the way that we interact and live. Even throughout all of that, he has shown us nothing but love and appreciation. David and Kevin spent many hours playing and yelling at video games, adding to their already-close friendship. We are so incredibly happy to have him alongside us on our wedding day and beyond!
Bridesmaid
Corrinne (or who we call "Rinna") is one of the most inspirational, admirable, and insanely loyal people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She is always the one to make us feel so special - we know for a fact that she loves us so very much, because she is never hesitant to let us know. It is an amazing feeling knowing that someone so incredibly intelligent and strong can love us so much. We are ecstatic that she will be by us every step of the way!
Groomsman
Aaron has been a close and dear friend to Kevin ever since his stint at First Tennessee Bank. Aaron has, without doubt, always been a friend that we could call up to go play golf or grab a round of beers with. He allows us to let loose, laugh a little, and enjoy this crazy adult world we all live in together. If anything, he brings out the youth in us! His loyalty and comradery makes us so thrilled to have him as a part of our big day!
Bridesmaid
Gabby is a vital friend in Carol & Kev's world. She not only is the most enthusiastic, fun-loving gal around, but she is filled with an overwhelming amount of love. Our hearts can't take it sometimes! Gabby provides us with the best experiences and the best hugs. Seriously, our stomachs hurt from how much we laugh when we're around her! It only makes sense to have that amount of joy & love next to us on our day!
Groomsman
Danny is an oh-so-essential friend to both of us! He provides us with an incredible balance of humor and love with every interaction. He and Kevin have been friends for years, and it's safe to say that he was instantly accepted and adored by Caroline when she came into the picture. He is the friend that you know without a doubt will always be there for you. We are honored to have him stand by us throughout our wedding weekend!
Bridesmaid
Maddie has been an incredible, rare, and overall exceptional friend to both Caroline and Kevin over the past five years. She always manages to make us laugh, ponder, and learn every moment that we're with her. Maddie is the one friend whom everyone, and I mean everyone, wishes they had because when she loves, she loves unconditionally and truthfully. We are so blessed to be some of those people she and Jordan love so fully. Our wedding would not feel complete without having her by our side!
Groomsman
Jordan is the man that inspires us daily. He never fails to crack us up with a good dad-joke or enlighten us with a historic fact. But what he excels best at is being such a loyal and loving friend to the both of us, which is all that anyone strives to find. His love is felt even when no communication has been had. Our favorite moments together are typically involving unique food experiences with Maddie. As we stood by them at their wedding, now that will stand by us at ours. We. Are. Thrilled!
Bridesmaid
Alyssa is a once-in-a-lifetime friend. Alyssa and Caroline have been friends since middle school; therefore, our friendship is the real deal after surviving that awkward time of our lives! She and I lived just down the road from each another and spent a lot of time together dreaming about our forever guys. When Kevin came into the picture, Alyssa was eager to meet the man I couldn't stop talking about. She was an instant fan, knowing he was my forever guy before I even knew! She has always supported our relationship and we cannot express how happy we are she is with us throughout our wedding day!
Groomsman
Chase! Chase has been a long-time friend of both Caroline and Kevin, individually and together as a couple. He and Caroline were co-workers in the theatre while at Maryville College, cracking jokes and complaining often. His friendship with Kevin would get stronger after every basketball and ultimate frisbee game they had whenever he was in town. We have enjoyed spending time with Chase throughout the past couple of years, and we are so stoked to have him participating in our special day!
Bridesmaid
Blaine has been an integral part of the Carol and Kev relationship. If it weren't for her, Caroline wouldn't have realized the importance of giving love a chance; therefore, giving Kevin a chance. One could say that she is the reason why I agreed to even date Kevin. Blaine cannot be appropriately explained, because she is not the kind of person that comes around often. Her relationship to us is incredibly rare, and we could never thank her enough for her constant, unconditional love that she always, always, expresses to us. Why wouldn't we have her as a part of our bridal party?!
Groomsman
Keylon is the kind of friend every person hopes to find and keep in their lives. He is a never-failing support system of love and hilarity at every moment of our lives. Throughout his and Kevin's many years of friendship, he has never faltered in showing his love for Kevin and his endeavors, especially Caroline. We are so excited to be able to have Keylon as a part of our wedding party, continuing in his meaningful support for our overall well-being!
Groomsman
Paul is the friend that everyone strives to have: hilariously fun, insanely compassionate, and just an all-around good human being. Kevin and Paul have been dear friends since 2013. Caroline wasn't too far behind on understanding how great of a friend Paul is. We are so, so blessed to have that kind of friend playing a part of our special day as not only a groomsman, but as our officiant. Paul has shown us an enormous amount of love and advocacy for our relationship throughout the last four years. When we were deciding who to have in our wedding party, he was an unanimous "obviously." We are thrilled to have him so intimately involved in our wedding!
